So what are my options if I can't even find a temp job?

Can't even land a temp job, let a lone a full-time position. What are my options? Leaning towards live-streaming my own suicide to bring awareness to how much of a scam the university system is. Anything else?

"suicide isn't the answer' -- highly debatable topic for another day.

No, it's the same thing every time. I apply for a temp role, some sub-human recruiter reaches out to me to setup a time to talk, they make me do an excel skill test, they like the results, then send me more documents to fill out, I fill them out, then I never hear from them again. Even after I call/email back. I'm almost positive staffing companies don't actually staff people with companies, they just sell their info.

 

Because I have no finance experience and can't land a full-time entry level position. Shit state school. Finance major (wasn't my original major though). 2.7-2.8 or so I can't remember. I had a data/IT internship in college.

I mostly just come on here to bitch (dear diary). I've already had a long thread on here with solid advice. Feel like a lost cause.

 

How are you going to tell me that journalism, audio production, video production, people management, etc. are in-demand hard skills. Seems like a legitimate and accurate list

 

As stated to someone else, I'm not doing manual labor. I've done carpentry in high school and not doing that shit again. $100k after ten years is absolutely laughable too.

 

I'm not in finance but I graduated into 25% job placement when the previous year was 98% in absolutely horrid year for that industry. I had a job lined up and I had a terrible GPA.

My secret was paying an Indian $300 to create a bot that automatically applies to jobs for me. I had an insane number of interviews.

 

Doubt I'd be able to - I've had multiple surgeries on both eardrums. Plus I'm too much of a pussy and don't want to sign my life away for years.

 

Consequatur aspernatur et optio quibusdam. Occaecati pariatur eius iste et non. Quisquam itaque molestiae quam rem omnis officiis ad. Voluptatem sequi sequi qui veniam odit esse.

Reiciendis expedita sed at. Fugiat corrupti dolorem mollitia molestiae. Commodi voluptatem sed adipisci et. Voluptatem quo laboriosam nobis qui facere.
