1st of all ur being to hard on urself... ur human that's why u feel that way but comparing urself to others who are doing more and succeeding is only gonna make u feel inadequate or like a Loser... why not go to some agencies that work in ur field.. they can also distribute ur resume and get u interviews.. have u considered working for less money just to get paid experience so that u can get ur foot in the door? Or maybe u should let someone re-evaluate ur resume.. Have u tried going to workshops re: resume writing or job fairs? That should be a start and believe me ur not the only new graduate that's having a hard time finding a job.. and if u have a religion girl then prayer can help as well..

I've read and re-read your question, and I can only say that if you write and speak in this manner, that your college education was a great waste of time and money. That being said, I'd suggest that you go on-line, and see what a resume looks like. Then put together one of your own. Next go to someone, possibly a state employment agency, and have them look at your resume. After they tweak it, see what they recommend for a position. As a college grad, you aren't looking for a job, but a position. See if they can send you on a few interviews. If for no other reason than it is great experience. Somewhere you will get the offer of a position. Take it. The cash may be terrible, but it will build on to your resume. With time you will be where you want to be.

There is NOTHING wrong with you. Everyone has hard times. Chin up, Girl. You've got to start somewhere. Have you had a job before? Try getting an internship or a low-paying job at a place you are interested in. I know it sounds bad, but pretty soon if you're smart and keep your eyes open, searching for the job you want, you will find the right one. Same thing with guys. Keep your eyes open, on the ball, and do what you love. It will happen, it just takes time.

A things to think about: (a) not all sales jobs are low paying and in many cases salaries are negotiable; (b) you have to start somewhere to get experience in working before you start showing off your degree; (c) get a job ... any job... to pay the bills and then worry about wealth and image; and (d) talk to your college counselor's office and fee paid recruiting firms. Not all jobs are posted on the internet. The internet brings in thousands and thousands of resumes in reply to ads so yours is probably overlooked in email hell. Look into applications by fax, in person, using the US Mail Service and/or phoning for interviews. If I am looking for someone looking for a job, I want someone who takes the initiative to find the job and set themselves apart from the crowd. And since just about every job somehow relates to sales, be careful how you refer to sales in interviews.

Sometimes it takes a while to get the ball rolling, but you'll be ok. Life isn't a race you can't judge your own life based on other's lives. Keep trying, something will come up for you. Sometimes it takes several years to become established enough to get a house and get married... plus, you gotta let a guy enter your life before you do that anyhow. Relax, don't rush and don't feel bad about yourself. You have an education and education is always an investment.

Perhaps you should find a newspaper and look for jobs there. You need to get out there and apply for positions. Also, just because you are a college grad doesn't mean that you will get your dream job right away. Everyone has to start somewhere.

The career center at your university should also be able to assist you. Good luck.

Don't just apply online. Go out and put physical resumes in. While a lot of companies like you to apply online you need to also go into businesses. Also, if you are a college graduate you should know proper spelling and grammar...Colege? N i looks?
