I sent out 450 applications with a university degree in accounting and finance and all I could get was a shitty job in a ghetto law firm where I was the only white person. My boss was this really racist Jewish lady that basically cracked the whip at everyone but me. Hacked it for about 8 months so I had it for my resume then I got the fuck out of there.

Boost your experience to match whatever the qualifications/responsibilities are on the posting of the jobs you're applying for.

My friend who isn't very smart got a management position at a start up and is making considerably more than me Atm by boosting and by getting lucky I guess.

This is my experience too although I only went to one. Maybe it depends if you go to legit ones or not.

Im in Canada and apparently employment agencies are sketchy as fuck, and only like 40-45% of temp jobs are office ones these days according to stats. Most is factory bs where you dont get training

Look for a temp agency that deals with office jobs only. If you're in any major or decent sized city than there should be one out there. The one I went through dealt specifically with office jobs. Try calling them if they do . I had a friend who worked at the ncaa headquarters as a temp.

Don't worry you'll make it anon. I spent a year applying and decided to give a temp agency a go .

Okay because the factory ones are fucked.

I just read a story yesterday about a major Newspaper writer who went undercover into a factory job through a temp agency to document it (after a young woman died) and she showed and explained how there's no training, work is shit, get fired quickly etc

Look for places to volunteer. A few hours per week and you make connections, learn the skills, maybe get certifications, probably get a job after they learn you are competent.

Looks way better on a resume than fatfood.

I went with one of those tech contracting companies and they got me temp contract in a company's helpdesk. When the temp contract came up for renewal they didn't renew and said it was because my customer service metrics where below their standard but all my other metrics where way above their standard.
So I went to another temporary tech contracting company and they got me a few different temp contracts upgrading computers and then finally they got me a temp contract to work in a company's helpdesk. They where praising me saying I was one of their best temp contractors and my metrics where awesome. But then suddenly they fired me because the company said my customer service skills where bad. Then they blacklisted me.
Last interview I've been to they said it's a small city and word gets around. Nobody responds so cant get any interviews. I've been a neet ever since.
But it takes money to make money and it takes money to do trading and investing, so I need to eventually figure out something. Probably going to have to move to a bigger city.
