These are the only ways to get a job in America right now if you're just starting out and have no experience:
>1) be an attractive young woman
I'm mostly including this as a joke, but it's also true. 75% of the the new hires at my office were clearly only brought on board because the boomers who run the company wanted some eye candy.
>2) accept defeat and work a shitty blue collar job with terrible hours that destroys your body
You also have to post online about how college is a scam and that everyone should learn a trade to help maintain the facade that you don't hate the way your life has ended up.
>3) friends and family connections/nepotism
This is how myself and virtually everyone I know got our jobs. None of these jobs are high paying or particularly desirable, but at least it's a job that provides income, experience, and security. Use every relationship you have, especially older family members who've been employed for decades and no tons of other employed boomers. Those are the people sort of who are going to be hiring you.
When I finished college I had already been applying to jobs for half a year leading up to my graduation. After graduation I lived at home with my parents applying for another year. Every day all I did was search for job and send out applications. I kept a spreadsheet of all the different companies I'd applied to, where they were, and if I got a reply or not. These were the final numbers:
>340 days
>733 applications
>12 rejection emails
>2 initial interviews
>1 followup interview (where the guy was over half an hour late)
>0 job offers
In the end my only job offer came from a company I never even applied to. My mom had been telling all of her friends that I couldn't find a job, and eventually some guy who was a friend of a friend of a friend reached out to me because one of the summer interns they had coming in had bailed last minute. It was pure luck, but it wouldn't have happened without family connections.
