Got a string of rejections for my applications on Indeed.

I live in the US and I haven’t landed an interview since last year.

I’m working on my resume now, but if there are any tips on where to look, or services that might help connect me with work, I’m all ears.

I’ve got a graduate education and I’m considering omitting that information as I apply to entry level positions. What kind of sick joke is it that someone can be overqualified for a job?

Also if you want to commiserate and say work sucks in different ways, that’s cool too.

    Are there any seasonal jobs available with your city/county? I’d never go back to the private sector but it’s difficult to get in with my city. The main route people take is getting a seasonal job in the department and then applying internally for permanent positions in whatever department you want. Right now they’re still hiring on an ongoing basis. While the pay sucks, it’s a stop-gap that can get you additional certifications while providing a good work/life balance. If you have a local workforce development centre, here run by the county, they know all of the municipal/county hiring managers.
