I am a recent 4 year college graduate but cannot find anyone to hire me because I am either over or under qualified. Anybody else experiencing the same thing?

I've experienced a similar situation, that I was told due to my education, training, and experience, that I was over qualified, for an entry level position with a different company. I was later advised that I struck fear into the hearts of those who were in charge of the hiring process, as my qualifications were better than theirs. In your case, I'd suggest that you do not lose heart, but keep at it. Also start networking with all those that you meet and know. That's how I finally arrived at a job, that suited me. Best of luck.

No - I am retired and have people chasing me around and calling all the time asking me to please please come to work for them at least part time. I don't want or need the hassle. I always found that the secret to employment was tuuely believing in yourself, your ability, and the fact that you have this job in the bag before you even apply. It always worked. Any time I wanted to move I had a list of those begging to hire me. I also had a reputation as the best available anywhere because I worked for my pay. Just believe fully in yourself and your ability and you will get a job. A degree does not guarentee high pay to start. It just says you have the ability to work to a goal. You still start at the bottom like anyone else. If you work hard, are honest and have high moral standards and full integrity, you can get ahead a little faster than a high school kid. Not much faster - just a little.

Lord NO... the paper is soooooooooo full of help wanted ads, I could be 12 different things tomorrow if I wanted to be.
Perhaps you need to describe yourself more in your resume' cover letter... sell yourself... making sure to emphasize that no job is to menial and you expect to start at the bottom... well of course unless you expect to start out on top then happy unemployment to ya.
You almost have to be pushy at getting a job, especially one you really want... go in personally and talk to all who will listen and what you are willing to do for the company and by all means mention your quick ability to learn, if you have that trait !
Good Luck ! : )

Ok if you are doing nothing at all whatever field your interested in try some form of volentary work. that way once you are on the inside of the career you want it is much easier to hear about jobs as well as show that you can do the work. also helps with your resume. I hire more people that have some form of volentary work on their resumes as it shows that they are keen to work. Good luck & I wish you wel in trying to find a job.

You are definitely not the only one I filled out several applications and not one was interested in me. You should go to snag a job.com they keep you posted on all the available jobs in your area.
