Sweeeeeeet, congratulations
While I`ve never really been without work, so frustrated. I overcame so many obstacles and busted my behind to gain admission to University in Halifax, did an absolute ton of research prior to determining what field of study gave me the best opportunity to gain employment within a reasonable amount of time post graduation. Spoke with tons of HR managers at various Networking events open to the public so I chose HR
Graduated in 2014, worked with a career counselor who put together what I thought was a terrific resume and portfolio, I did everything she suggested, bang on doors, talk to anyone and everyone just to get my foot in the door, even offered to volunteer at various places just to gain experience in my field.
Last count, over the past 5 years, have submitted over 4,000 resumes and have had one telephone interview. While I`ll always be grateful to have a job in the Hospitality field, I didn`t work so hard at University to still be in the Food and Bev field, still can`t get over the frustration of holding onto a degree and not have anything close to a career in HR.
I know I`m far from the only grad not working in their field but still so frustrating when I`ve done so much and followed the suggestions of so many in trying to get into HR. My expectations have been reasonable, never thought I`d start in anything other than an entry level position and haven`t been able to snag even that, it`s gotten to the point where I haven`t submitted one resume to a company looking for anyone in HR, just sucked the life outta me when it comes to a search in the field.
