Total of 6 years (my fault), graduated with honors. Can't get a job because I don't have experience. Countless applications out. Zero interviews.

Use your hobbies and class projects as experience. Don't oversell your abilities; just lie about where you learned shit.

Can attest, don't claim you have mad skills with Excel, when you just know how to sort and do some formulas and such. Even if you get that job, it will crush your soul

"I have made Excel skills."
