I have been down in the dirt for way too long.
I graduated with a BSc in Electrical Engineering last summer and I still haven't been able to land a job.
I've tried everything. Recruiters, Newspapers, job sites, networking, friends, family, references, Job fairs (More like a promotional tool for the company to advetise) small companies, large companies, you name it. I gave it a shot!
I even applied at Guitar ****in' Center and they didn't hire me (I think the fact I have a brain intimidated the middle-aged manager).
So here I am...I spent 5 years of my life in misery trying to get that degree which I thought was my ticket to better life. I was wrong!
While in college I barely had time to play guitar and pursue my true passion. I kept pushing things off and making plans rather than taking action. I've been through many changes since graduation and as soon as I see a glimmer of hope, everything comes crashing down.
I've been through many different interviews but in the end the only thing I get is the rejection email. The bastards don't even bother to do it over the phone.
The depression has sunk so deep that I don't even notice it anymore. The thing that gets me most is realizing how much potential I have yet no one seems to be willing to give me a chance.
Through the interviews and talking to many company managers, I have witnessed utmost incompetence and unprofessional behaviour from high ranking employees. Still, such imbecles are making TONS of money while I sit on my broke ass and bust my balls trying to sell myself to them with a big retarded grin my face.
There's a good metal band in New York that is looking for a guitarist and they might be interested in me and they are getting ready to go on tour.
At 25. I am very tempted to throw my engineering degree in the garbage or use it as rough toilet tissue and hit the road like there's no tomorrow.
I personally would prefer the stability of having a good job and making good money. But being unemployed for a year is just too much to take
and the who job hunt charade has taken it's toll on me psychologically.
So now I stand at an imaginary crossroad that bears neither signs nor gives me a sense of direction!
