I finished college ... and now ???

Just stay in school until something comes up. I doubt you wasted three years of your life.

Don't lose hope!!!I'm a fourth year college student and soon I'll be graduating too..If the same thing will happen to me I will never give up..just think of all the things your parents have done for you and all the hardships during your college days...continue searching for a job and earn experience!!!GOODLUCK!!!GO!!FIGHT!!WIN!!!

first i want to say congrats on your dedication & graduation! i would advise to accept the best possible opening you can find while continuing to search for a position in your chosen field

I can understand your feeling. Today the competition is very heat, so it is not so easy to find an ideal job. I know the certification is important, but to the employers, the working experience is also essential. Sometimes they don't want to spend time to train a new employee. If I were you, I would just find a simple job at first. And then you can wait and look for another chance when you have a job. So at least you have income and also earning working experience. Then it will be easy for you to find a better job later. I love China

you should do what you think you can

Hello Delkar! I went to the university and studyed 5 years, and ofter i finnished there was no post available for me. i was very disapointed and worryed, because i have other 2 smaller brothes, both of them to university, and it waas just too much for my parents to support. Finnaly after 7 months a job opportunity presented and i went for it, and i got it. My BF also finished university the same year as me, and he found a job suitable for him 4 month afer me, so almost 1 year passed and he was unemployed. these are difficult time we live and we need to have patience. My brother finished this year, and he works at an internet caffe for 100$ per month..situation is a dezaster with the jobs. Hes an engineer and studied 4 years. Now he does the master study, and only because he think it will make him more agreable in front of a real employer.. We only hope that things will go better, but since i was hired, 2 years ago, situation got very bad.. so good luck, have a little patience or start your own bussines :D

Hi, Firstly, you should tell yourself not to give up in the job hunting. You may have a hard time to get the suitable job at this moment,but it does not mean the opportunity won't come to you, You just need to have the luck to get the best job for yourself. While looking for permanent job,you can simply dig on to some temporary job/part time job,at least, you earn something for yourself and your time is fully utilised for some works. When I first graduated from my university, I also having a hard time to find a job.It took me about 3-4 months for the job hunting and lastly, I got an admin job in local company . This job field may not suit my study field but I don't mind to try it out and earn some experience from it,rather than wasting my time out there and earn no income for myself. Good luck in your job hunting..

It comes when it comes. Things like this can't be rushed since we have unemployment problems everywhere. You might want to be your own boss so open a business related to your education or interest.

Hi! Don't loose hope. If I am you, I will go and work in production line while still submitting your resumes to other jobs. That way, you have money instead of just waiting for jobs. Good luck. I hope you fine the right job soon!

Hello delkar.. :) First, I would say that you never wasted time, efforts and money for nothing. The reality is, a lot of graduates are really having a hard time to get a job suited for there field of study because most of the job openings are looking for skills acquired from experience. That is why some of the fresh graduates are under-employed. However, don't be discouraged. Continue applying and eventually you will get a job suited for you. But if you really needed a job, you take that offer. There's nothing wrong with it. It's just your pride that stops you.. God Bless..

I Think one month wait is too early to make any conclusion. You need to try for at least few more months. If you are not getting any call from the companies, may be you had gone with you resume. Before submitting you resume, so you resume to some expert in that field (possibly to any HR friend). He may sort out the errors and that way you can get to know where you have gone wrong. Best of luck for you future. Don't loose the hope so easily.

maybe you should try another job for this,graduated from college it's only status the important thing is knowledge not the time your waste in college,and you can have much of chance to get a job in this world

Hi delkar, As some responders pointed out, it may take up to a year to find a decent job after graduation, so don't lose hope. If you can afford to wait and focus on job hunting, it would be great. Also, maybe you can consider an internship for this period. If money is a problem (and isn't this for all of us!), maybe you can find a temporary position - but the key here is to find something as close as possible to your college major and to what you want to do later on with your life. Even a few months of work experience will matter for future employers, but don't spread yourself too thin by doing something that's completely unrelated to the type of job you want in the future. Just think from the employers' point of view: would a few months of working in the production line make you more attractive for them? If so, go for it.

and now?? hmm.... if those work did not reply, it means, its not your time yet. But, be patient in looking for a job. If you are really determined to be a successful, you must not back off easily. Goodluck. :)

Yes it is the very worst situation after finishing college and until get a good jobs. Yes this situation is also with me because now I am also struggling for jobs because now I have finished my study. And now search for good jobs.

Many people have through the same thing as you are. I've studied for almost 5 years in college but after graduation I still have to be a jobless person for almost 1 year. During the time I've sent my CV to many companies, do many interviews but I got nothing. Fortunatelly, I've got a job now. And I hope you don't give up to find a good job for you. About working in production line even with your college status, why not? You can make it a starting point to gain an experience about working. Don't let your pride as a bachelor prevent you to try the job. It seems unfair, but the pressure would be harder when you become jobless person, trust me. And during your job you can search for better opportunities that fit your education background. I hope you'll find a good job soon.
