I've had it with generic advice and this job hunt. I know people mean well, but honestly, if I hear any bullshit about "have a positive attitude" and "don't be disappointed if you don't get your dream job" I'm going to scream!!!
I've heard it all before and that shit isn't helping. Unless you can actually recommend me to someone who's hiring, give me some specific (read: not generic) and helpful tips, or get me some useful connections, keep your trap shut and don't offer generic, bullshit advice.
To suggest that I'm just sitting here twiddling my thumbs and expecting my dream job to fall out of the sky onto my lap is quite insulting.
Yes, I went to a career center.
Yes, I have tailored my résumé for every job I apply for.
Yes, I've looked on craigslist, my university's career database, individual company websites, and career builder.
Yes, I've asked my professors for connections.
Yes, I checked on the city and county govt websites and I don't qualify for any of the jobs listed there.
No, I don't want to become a Spanish teacher. Plus, I'd need a teaching certificate for that anyway.
So kindly keep your generic, half-assed, Hallmark-card advice to yourself.
P.S.
Don't bother judging my relationship with my parents either. You haven't been there, so STFU. K thx bye
