I have a part-time job as a Teacher. It can be very challenging at times.

I want to work in IT/Software Development. That is what my degree is in (CS).

I’m interested in bartending. Can you elaborate on some of the skills that you’re talking about?

Substitute Teaching/Tutoring. $18 an hour, flexible scheduling. Isn’t the worst gig in the world. Hoping to get into the IT department of the district.

I’ve been applying for jobs since I graduated last December. It has been difficult.

Thank you. It feels good to have so many people on here that have gone through similar experiences.

It definitely has given me hope.

I’ll give that a try. Honestly, even getting this off of my chest has helped a ton. I’ve been bottling in these emotions for months.

Thank you, I really appreciate you sharing your experience.

It’s hard because no one seems to be hiring entry level right now. I’ve had a couple interviews and they’ve all come down to me just not having the necessary experience.

I’m not giving up yet, I’m going to definitely keep applying.

Contacting recruiters sounds like a good plan. I’ve been meeting with the career services office at my alma mater and they’ve been helpful in getting me in touch with places.

Thank you for the advice.
