Thank God it’s Monday…
I have applied to literally hundreds of tech writing and staff writing jobs since I graduated with my BA in May. I have seen precisely zero advertised as entry level positions. All of them required 2-5 years of experience. The generations before us have pulled up the ladder behind them and it is nakedly visible in this situation. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm working a night shift maintenance position right now and I feel like there is no way into a white color position for me. I am trapped working meathead jobs until I die.
They always ask why you're leaving the job you have. Also in the interview they'll ask why you left a job, or why you're leaving your current job. I'm leaving because it's crappy management with low pay and I get disrespected by coworkers constantly. I don't want a potential future employer to think that I'm nitpicking or just a crybaby. I'm a really hard worker but I just don't want to work here anymore. Any advice on that issue?
I'm writing these lines on my telework time because i'm asking myself some questions. Since my 18 yo and my first job in a factory, i've always despised the world of work. It only took me a week to motivate me to study during 5 years. I graduated with a Master's Degree 5-6 months ago. I were the kind of student who worked more than the others, because I really didn't want to have a job that I hate, and also I love to learn about everything. It was generally interesting. But it was hard mentally. Studies are engaging, and when i weren't studying, I felt guilty in my free time. So everything I wanted was a job that suits me without being exciting, and to have time aside. And today I have that. 35 hours a week (thanks France), a job in an office. I can even say that…
