This job hunt is pissing me the fukk off now. Why doesn't anyone want to hire me?

[kermit da hustla]

anyway, my advice - and this will sound cliche - is to start your own business. you're not going to succeed in america working for the white man.

This bolded speaks to me. I don't want to be that person hitting up my parents for money at my age, but until I can find a steady job with a steady pay, I'll have to.

It hurts my pride...I don't really feel like I can admit to that and I'm ashamed of it. At this age, I imagined that I'd be somebody making money and being independent. But I spent way too much time in college and now I'm here at almost 30 feeling like that 22-24 year old that just got out of college and is looking for their first big job in the big bad city.

There were many reasons I moved here. I always wanted to live here, and I just felt after my last year of college that I really needed a challenging situation in my life to bring out the best in me. I was just sick and tired of feeling like a loser and just wanted to be that person that just stacked those Ws mayne!

I'll be dead ass honest...you wanna know who my biggest inspirations are personally? Diddy, Pharell, and Jay-Z. I just want to get to that boss status man. I wanna be that person speaking at NYU talking about success. On Ellen and the View chopping it up about the come-up. I just want to be that person who inspires people...that see me and say to me "because of you...I didn't give up."

You're not going to get to that level from a cubicle, breh.

First of all, don't you ever address me like that again, and second I wasn't clowning him, I was being sincere, I was broke and jobless not to long ago to, so I know how he feels.

Do this breh,

I see that you live in New York. Apply for jobs online than when you get an interview find the nearest makeup artist who has experience on movie sets and tell em you wanna be transformed into a white dude for an acting gig. Than do your thing at the interview and the employer should hire you. Than on your first day show up black and if they try to hit you with the just tell em "you ain't want them lawsuit problems" and go about your day. Works every time

I feel you breh, I have a job but I'm looking for an opportunity to move up in the world, figured a degree would help me, I finished the last classes to complete my degree last month so sense then I been sending my updated resume EVERYWHERE, not with expectations that the degree would catch someones attentions but I was atleast hoping to get more replies than I have, out of the hundreds of places I've sent my resume only 3 places have called back, out of those 3 I've only been able to get an interview with one and that ended up not even being the job I wanted
