What am I doing wrong? RE: Jobs

by toughguy000 . Updated 17 years, 3 months ago

I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve been out of college for over 8 months searching for work.

I have recently graduated from two college courses. Computer System Technician – Networking, and a Cyberspace Security post-grad. While earning these courses I attended 3 Co-Op’s, an average of 5 months each. One was for the Canadian Military, one was for a Manufacturing company, and the last one was for a small consulting firm. Other then that I’ve been working for myself with small PC repair jobs here and there.

As for certifications I have none currently. I’m not a programmer nor have a high interest in becoming one.

During my search I’ve only had 5 interviews in those 6 months. Currently my search terms are all of Canada, if an employer is willing to arrange relocation I’m willing to go to anywhere in the world.

All the employers out there want experience, 5+ years, but no one is willing to take newcomers under their wing and give them that experience.

Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
