3 months so far and no real job in sight. Starting to get desperate and do post mates during the day for at least something.
HOW MANY FUCKING JOBS DO I NEED TO APPLY TO IN ORDER TO GET A GOOD ONE?
Just lie about your experience, what’s the worst that could happen?

I was in the exact same position, but as an engineer and I had three internships too. Took me 3 months to find something but I still feel like shit about it. Like after all the work I put in school and during my internships, I'm still not worth a job. Fuck this world and fuck the boomers really
