I have been trying to find an entry-level position for a year with no success. I have tried everything that I can think of:

-Use job boards such as LinkedIn, Indeed, SimpleyHired, WeWorkRemotely, FlexJobs, and other job boards.

-Reach out to my network on LinkedIn asking for assistance.

-Reached out to my career center at my university (they seemed more interested in working with current students).

-Worked with recruiting agencies (had some success, was able to get some interviews, but haven’t contacted me about any recent openings).

-Tried reaching out to my local community and see if they are hiring or looking for part-time workers (they either told me to apply online or they didn’t have anything at this time).

-Taken some online courses to beef up my resume

I have a BA in English and I knew it was already going to be difficult to find something, but I never thought it was going to take this long. I don’t know what to do at this point. I feel I tried everything and I have gotten nowhere. If anyone can provide me some advice, that would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!! I have a degree in English and yeah, even though it’s a hard degree to market in this job environment (especially this one that is collapsing), I am proud of it. It improved my writing and editing, research, and critical thinking skills. It’s sad how these are skills that employers say they are looking for yet have zero respect for the liberal arts.
