pity, pessimistic etc… Now, I know your response would be that you are
frustrated, your situation sucks, isn’t fair and that you are fed up. I get it.
I am not questioning that you feel frustrated, negative, angry etc… However, if
just from your writing I picture you as a very
negative person, imagine what you put out there. Just realize how you
come across if you do have phone or live interviews, or when you are
networking. It might not be something you are conscious of, but remember that
people make snap judgments based on immediate impressions. It might not be
fair, but that’s life.

A large part of finding in a job in such a crowded
marketplace is being able to interview and present yourself well. I’ve done
hiring for entry level positions and the amount of people that are hot messes
in interviews is staggering. They will have a hard time getting a job. And if
all you put out there is negative energy, it will reflect back on you. Just
reading your posts I am put off by your negativity. There are ways to express
your feelings in more productive way. Some of your fellow Generation Stuckers
that are also frustrated still infuse positivity into their outlook, which in
turn will reflect on how others see them.
