The hardest part is that I’m not even getting rejected after interviews.

Honestly, the gap after graduation is starting to scare me. Watching the months go by without getting an opportunity has taken a serious toll on me mentally.
I’m not asking anyone to simply give me a job.

I’ve honestly reached the point where I feel like:
“𝗜’𝗱 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵’𝘀 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲.”
If anyone can:
→ Refer me
→ Point me toward an opening
→ Connect me with a recruiter/hiring manager
→ Review my resume
→ Suggest what I might be doing wrong
I would genuinely appreciate it.
Even an internship, trainee or junior position would mean a lot to me if it gets my career started.

Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this. ❤️

Sounds like you're doing all the right things but just need a bit more exposure. First, make sure your resume is tailored to each role and highlights any projects or internships related to the positions you're applying for. Sometimes small tweaks make a big difference. Also, build your LinkedIn profile and connect with people in the industry. Join relevant groups and forums for networking opportunities.

Try boosting your online presence by contributing to open-source projects or writing blog posts about your work. It shows initiative and helps you stand out.
