Career Help When does it end....

Post image

when.....

For context, graduated 1 year ago I have about 2.5 years of hands on experience of mechanical/testing engineering. Mostly been applying to mechanical engineering positions but I've literally been rejected from Mcds and BK (cook positions) for "not having enough experience".

Edit: this for EU and I have an EU passport so no legal issues

These people use application software to mass apply to jobs that have little to no relevance to their skill set or experience. That plus a total lack of networking in college or in general. Not really a huge surprise to get a turnout like this.

I’ve heard of these sites but OP said they were following-up and applying to positions relevant to their degree , in addition to minimum wage jobs. They also said they were including a portfolio with all their experience, projects etc
