Listen, just like many college students my age, I AM BROKE.
I have been filling out applications since the end of my internship in July.
I've received emails from companies saying that I was and quote, "Overqualified for this position"
I looked at the email and couldn't believe my eyes as to what I saw.
"Overqualified?" I questioned myself and smiled. Then I looked at my bank account which read, $0.25.
Then I frowned.
Every time I earned a dollar, I lost two dollars. So, I did what any average person would do when they need a dollar or two.
Actually, we consider being strippers or drug dealers first then we evaluate our morals and eventually apply.
A little discouraged, I still apply to other places in hopes that I actually land a position somewhere.
I honestly want to know what's the trick to applying for work while in college. As soon as I find out, I'll let the next man know about it. During my college career, this has been the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
To all the undergrads reading this,
Being overqualified isn't a bad thing it's actually very good. Nothing is granted to you but expect to get the run around if you're lowering your standards for a part time job flipping pizzas. Then again, we shouldn't be putting in our resumes into jobs that require little to no experience. Dang it.
So no resumes when applying to pizza joints or even sneaker joints no matter how much experience you've had. You're not short coming your successes, you're catering to your needs. It's all about sacrifice and risk.
Good luck to you and your job hunt.
