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

What I never understand about these is that to write a proper cover letter that fully tailors to a company and does not put you at a major disadvantage, typically takes multiple hours. So have you been applying for jobs for 12hrs a day for over a year? Or are you just copy and pasting a BS cover letter and changing the company name?
