It seems like nobody is actually hiring
I have submitted more than 300 applications, and I haven’t had a single interview. I have a BA and an MS. I worked for the park service for a while out of state, but I had to move back to Tucson for family. I ran the park’s volunteer/docent program, managed the park’s social media, and created all special programming, along with producing all print and digital media. It was a really great experience. I learned a lot, and it seemed like my career was on a promising path. I then graduated with my BA in 2020, had to move, and the job market fell apart everywhere. I’ve since worked minimum wage jobs just to garner any experience that I can. I graduated with my MS in 2025, thinking an advanced degree could help my chances, but I’m still working as a housekeeper/maid.
I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m willing to work anywhere. I have a bit of experience in manufacturing/welding, and an old certification, but it’s been about a decade. I also have some experience with sound design. Does anyone have any leads? I’m sorry to bother y’all with my life story—I just don’t know where to go from here. Thanks in advance!
