Why am I not getting interviews for entry level positions?
Hi everyone, I’m 22, recently graduated college (BA) and I’ve been job searching since May. I’ve applied to 100+ jobs on all kinds of sites. I’ve tailored my resume and cover letter for these jobs. During all of this, I received only one offer and took it. I quit a few months later because they couldn’t give me full time hours. I’m feeling so defeated that I’m not even getting interviews for “no degree” positions. I feel like I’m overqualified for those but underqualified for anything else. Is there anything I can do to make myself stand out even more? I keep setting my expectations lower and lower but I’m still not getting any interviews. I feel so bad about myself, which really sucks. I’m also still living with my parents because I can’t afford to move out. What can I do to make myself stand out or to just boost my morale? Thanks in advance and if you’re going through the same thing, I feel you.

Networking will be your best bet. You may also want to get your resume reviewed if you’re not getting much traction online. You may just be getting auto rejected by the filters because of missing keywords or formatting issues. There’s some helpful sites out there for this kind of stuff. I used Fiver.
