I want to scream, I have a degree and I can't get a job

I just want to scream. I spent money to go to college so I could better my future and have a better paying job. Now I am paying for school loans and I can't find a job.

In this economy finding a good job is tough for anyone.I found out that you need to be willing to start at the bottom. Just because you have a college degree, don't assume that you can start higher up.If you live in a city, most insurance companies usually have openings for adjusters. They require a bachelor's degree.

Take your resume and have others look at it. They may offer some suggestions.
Make your resume short, one page. Highlight what you did on other jobs and volunteer work ect. with bullet points instead of paragraphs.

Today, employers have to read a lot of resumes, make it short and direct.

While you are searching for a job, try to do some volunteer work. It gives you something to put on your resume and it may lead to a job. You should also be willing to work part time. While working part time you can still search for something else.
