I've been trying to switch jobs into what I actually want to do and I'm having a super hard time. It's annoying and I've been feeling pretty down about myself lately because of it

This. Forget online applications... I applied to 20-25 online ads and got nothing. As soon as a friend told me there was an opening at her company, I put in my resume and had an interview the next day.Originally Posted by Mr Jordan04

Keep hope alive. I just got a job at Bank of America. Look for job fairs and try staffing companies like Ranstad.

What were you thinking? You must not really be serious about getting a job if your out smoking, i'm pretty sure that 90% of jobs require that you pass a drug test.

If you are qualified, I can ask her to turn your resume in for you (better than being a stranger walking through the door right?). It is fairly competitive so you will probably need to have a 4 year degree from an upper tier (or atleast above average) college or university, and it would be preferable if you had a degree in marketing/advertising or some similar related field. Just to give you guys an idea, the last few assistants that she hired for her team went to schools like USC, Cornell, Stanford, UPenn. If you think you fit the mold and its something you are interested in, feel free to send me a PM or drop a msg in this thread.
Also. Nothing set in stone yet, but we may be opening up an entry level position at my company. I work for a specialty finance company in Los Angeles. Finance background is not neccesarily required. Once the position is open for sure, I can provide more details. 4 year degree required. Cons: you will be working under me, and I'm kind of a a-hole (kidding... not really)
