Applying for jobs but not getting responses, so taking certifications to improve my resume, but still not getting responses. Trying to go BACK to school to get an additional degree (I thought adding that I was enrolled part time in a masters program would be beneficial) no responses. Older people I work with at my part time job (I’m working part time so that I can study and spend time preparing for all the jobs and interviews I’m not getting) just say that I need to “try harder”… but I don’t know what else to be doing and they don’t have suggestions either.
