Post Grad job market stress
Hey everyone I apologize I advance if this is all over the place my stress hasn’t allowed for me to sleep since January. I graduated with my BSW in December 2025 I live in Raleigh NC and I have truly been struggling to find an entry-level job as a new social worker. I was wondering if you all could give me some advice on how to find a job as a new grad in this job climate. I’ve applied to about numerous opportunities I have gotten about three interviews and out of those 3 I’ve gotten ghosted by 2 so far (one stated they would let me know by Friday that was 2 weeks ago). I’m not sure if the 3rd job is going to let me know given I thought I did great in my interviews and still got ghosted I’m trying to be patient given they asked for my references, which is a good sign, but that was two weeks ago . I plan on getting my MSW however my program won’t start until 2027. I’m also renting an apartment and I feel like I’m in survival mode right now. I really need something any advice would be greatly appreciated.
