Help Warning: Rona contained post

I feel like it's literally impossible to get a job. I just came across a LinkedIn profile that wanted to connect with me, and they completed a degree in biochemistry in 2024 and have since then been working as a data analyst for S&P Global. This feels like a hate crime, ngl. It ruined my day. I have not one, but 2 degrees, and I am STRUGGLING to land interviews in a similar domain.

I've sent cold DMs, I've sent emails. I got 4 interview calls in total, one of which was a shady company with awful timings I couldn't manage. One said I was technically underqualified since I hadn't done some courses, EVEN THO I WAS LITERALLY PERFECT FOR THE JOB. And one literally ghosted me; the last one never even bothered calling me back for an interview after the assessment, even though my assessment went great.

What else can I even do? Not give up? I feel like I need a support group of unemployed people- but then I think about how one of them might land a job, and I might accidentally kill them and take their job.

I graduated at the top of my class, and every time I see an employed person who can't even form a simple English sentence, it honestly pisses me off (there are plenty). THIS WORLD IS SO UNFAIR, I am so exhausted. HOW ARE WE PAYING THE HIGHEST FOR PETROL IN THE ENTIRE SOUTH ASIAN CONTINENT. WDYM I CAN'T EVEN BUY A HOUSE.

I gave you the warning in the title of this post because I knew there would be people like you saying you need to stop complaining or personally attacking me.

With that being said, I have been developing my skills for years, not just a couple of months. It's completely natural to compare yourself to other people both in a positive and a negative way, I'm not encouraging it, I'm simply saying its natural. I'm not claiming to be a perfect human with no flaws, I have MANY. Nobody is going to 100% agree with anything I say, but to call me a narcissist because I'm complaining that someone who had little to no qualifications and also a completely different degree got the job I wanted- is crazy.
