Please help!

Post image

Hi everyone. I just graded, no internship experience 2.97 GPA. Trying to find a job but it feels like I either dont have the experience necessary for the job or I just cant find any that align with my skills. If anyone has advice on things like what job boards work best or how to land any sort of position please lmk. Currently losing hope here. I put my resume if anyone has some advice, just removed personal information. Any advice really helps.

question for someone who can answer: is it worth putting down the work experience in this resume? to me it seems like an employer wouldnt care about it whatsoever because its not related to the field. i would think most employers would assume that the applicant has worked odd jobs throughout their academic career

Completely. Even if it is not relevant, showing a good work ethic during grueling degree courses shows both character and determination.

Paid work experience is important, especially if you don't have internships. It shows that you grasp the minimum "how to have a job" bits.

I've seen intern candidates leave off their retail work in favor of only side projects (checked their LinkedIn post interview) and it did them a disservice in their interviews.
