Hi guys! Summary before I get into details - 24 y.o. African American man with a psychology degree with issues on finding a job.
I’ll try to include pertinent details while making it short. I have obtained a job since I was 15 so that gives me about 8-9 years roughly of various customer service roles. I was a waiter for a few years in high school, worked a couple customer service jobs in college and also was a customer success manager for 7 months as of this year but it was severely underpaid so I resigned in February. I have had plenty of interviews since I finished my degree in August of this year and I can’t seem to sell myself into a job. I majored in Psychology but I don’t have any psychology work experience which makes it impossible to get a job in the field - I’ve applied to numerous customer service-esque jobs and they all refuse to hire me. I’ve had many final rounds of interviews and Im just frustrated no one thinks I’m qualified for their roles (customer success specialist, customer service jobs, entry level IT roles that say they will train (but then reject my application due to lack of experience). It just seems so impossible and I am losing hope on finding a position. So far every job has explained that I don’t have the skills needed but I’ve been working my entire workable life so it’s a bit disheartening. I’ve interviewed for manager trainee positions, entry level (no experience required jobs) with no luck!! I honestly feel like I had an easier time getting a job before I had a degree which doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t want to play the race card - but a part of me feels a certain way because a lot of my under qualified white friends with no degrees hold stable jobs with good income and it’s just not adding up. It’s as if as a black man I have to work twice as hard to reap the same basic benefits.
I’ve updated my resume plenty of times, explained gaps, explained why I’m interested in companies yet no one is willing to hire me for any job. Does anyone have any advice for my specific experience? I’m feeling very depressed that I went to college and worked hard with sometimes even 2 jobs at a time during college for none of it pay off in the long run. A lot of my friends are solid in their jobs and have families and such and I can’t stop thinking how I cannot find any source of stability and i’m approaching my 25th birthday in a couple weeks.
Please share similar experiences/stories because I’m coming to a point where I want to give up on everything... The only jobs I’ve been able to get thus far post graduation have been temporary positions with no intention of hiring me.
