Still Job hunting - need advice
Hello monkeys,
This isn't a sob story, woe-is-me, classic WSO "am I screwed" job post. I've applied for jobs, I'm applying still, and I'm motivated to keep trying.
With that said, I need to know what I should to do differently. After sending 250+ apps I've got nothing. All of my networking calls go great but lead to nothing more than the "really feel bad for you kid. Must be tough graduating into a pandemic." No shit, pal but thx.
The type of jobs I started going for was CRE-finance roles, FO/MO banking, and agriculture finance (quirky, I know ^_^ ). Then, after getting no traction there, I started applying to anything remotely financial.
I know the right answer is to just keep trying, but something has got to change.
My background is a west-coast semi target June 2020 graduate who had finance internships but absolutely dropped the ball on FT recruiting pre-pandemic. Also a transfer student with a 3.3 gpa. I crush most interviews, I'm very good on phone calls, and my resume has gotten thumbs up from MDs and analysts alike.
What am I to do? Should I just drive uber or process refinances until the world goes back to normal? Grad school? Start a fin-meme account?
Thanks in advance for any advice, criticisms, or memes.

You're going to have to gain experience somehow if you want to get your foot in the door. Possibly intern to hire roles or temp roles where you can prove yourself.
