6 months post grad and still no job

Hey,

I think I just to say this somewhere so I’ll talk about this here. I graduate from a Russel university in 2025 with a first class degree with honours and a first class dissertation. I interned at a large public broadcaster in my first year of university and then interned at a research lab in my second year. Didn’t get an internship in my third rather focused on relaxing after burning out from working so hard in university.

But now, I’m tired of being at home. I’ve applied to so many graduate scheme and entry level roles. I have done in person programmes and virtual programmes as well as taking part in employability skills workshops.

I’m grateful that since graduating I have had around 7 interviews and gotten on second and final stages however IM STILL JOBLESS. I sleep with the knowledge that I have nothing to really wake up for.

All my friends have gotten their graduate jobs and started the new year working and I’m just at home applying and applying. Interview preparation and virtual assessments. I’m honestly just want any job at this point. I don’t even care what it is. I want to have the ability to spend money without worrying about it.

Making plans to go on holidays or go anywhere with my friends or even my family knowing that I barely have money. Going to Jobcentre appointments every other week. This isn’t have I imagine graduating at all.

Thank you reading this if you have 😊
