Hello. I am lost. I don't know if other people ever feel this way, but I do. I have always kept a job, been motivated, and a hard worker. I am now 32 with a bachelor's degree in a field that I do not wish to pursue. I was told, like many others, that my degree would still be able to help me get jobs that require a lesser education: it doesn't. I apply for job site after job site and get robocalls exponentially, yet no job offers. I have emailed back thanking companies for taking my application and considering me. I have also asked for guidance on how I can mold myself to be a better candidate. I have watched people less qualified get jobs that I am being told that I am not qualified to receive either. I do not know where to go from here. With such a need for employees, I wonder how it is I can't find a job. I am now led to wonder if it is my resume or my cover letter; I ask for some feedback. Everyone I talk to gives me similar but different advice that seems to lead nowhere. I don't want to stop looking. I don't want to give up. I want to better myself and work hard. What is my next step? How do I become the right applicant? How do I meet the right people?
