    Feeling Planning Thinking

    I spent the last year searching for jobs with barely any interviews, and now all of a sudden, I have three interviews lined up at the same time. It's a bit overwhelming! I have a final round coming up with one company, but honestly, there are other opportunities I would prefer to pursue. The dilemma is that I might end up declining the first offer if it comes through, only to miss out on the others and still be jobless. It's just wild how everything is happening all at once when I struggled for so long to get noticed. I think I’ll keep all three options open until I have a formal offer in hand.

    Feeling Planning Thinking

    Over the past six months, I've faced a staggering 152 job rejections. I went through my email and counted, but there might be even more that I missed. It's hard to keep track of how many applications I've sent out at this point. I've had only three interviews and no job offers, despite rewriting my resume multiple times and reaching out to companies directly. I've come to terms with the reality that I might be living with my parents indefinitely.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Thinking

    I recently graduated with a B.S. in Media Arts and Game Development, along with a minor in cybersecurity. However, I’m feeling overwhelmed and unsure about my job prospects. I have a diverse skill set—I can program in C++, C#, and Python, and I'm familiar with game engines like Unity and Unreal. Additionally, I can use Adobe Creative Suite for photo and video editing, but I lack a strong portfolio to showcase my work. After applying to over 500 jobs related to my skills, I feel lost and discouraged. It seems like my broad range of skills is a disadvantage, and I worry that my application gets overlooked because I'm not a Computer Science major. I’m just looking for any job that will allow me to move out and start my career. I want to connect my skills with the right opportunities but I'm struggling to find a clear path.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I have a B.S. in Media Arts and Game Development, but it's not helping me land any jobs. I've been actively searching for over a year, sending cold emails, tweaking my resume countless times, and applying to everything I can find, but interviews are few and far between. I'm really eager to move out and live independently, but I'm struggling to find any job that pays enough. I'm considering options like working at a post office, in construction, or even food and bars, but I might need to juggle two or more jobs to save up enough. I haven't had any internships, which might be part of the problem. I heard Warner Brothers Games has job openings, so I plan to check that out. I'm also thinking about temp work or independent contracting with creative agencies, but living with roommates might be my best bet for now if I want to move out soon.

    Company: Warner Brothers Games

    Job title: N/A
