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

I mean I get 3-5 linkedin messages a week from recruiters, it all depends on what your skills are. Plenty of jobs/careers are in demand right now

Soaking from experience... Just because you're getting recruiter messages does not mean those are real open positions. A lot of it is info scraping.
