What is your best advice for not giving up? I'm a recent college graduate and honestly these last few months have been demoralizing. I've resorted to even applying for janitor positions in town until I can find something with my degree but still cannot even get a call back for an interview. All I know is how to be a student.

Edit: I'm willing to work any hours, any days, and even willing to relocate literally anywhere as long as the pay allows for me to have somewhere to live. Maybe all that just makes me look more desperate?

Edit 2: thank you all that responded! I've taken all of your advice to heart (even if I didn't respond) and I know it will make a difference. Thank you everyone :)

Geez that's kinda horrifying...

I went to school and got my Sociology: Youth Studies bachelor of science degree. Ideally I'd want to work with kids (maybe a counselor) but no one wants to give me experience. I did work with youth for about 6 months but employers seem to want at least 1+ year of youth experience.

Thank you for respond!! I've decided that I will start by redoing my resume from scratch and try to sound less desperate!!

Thank you for your input, in a way it was comforting and stressful! It's nice to know that this is (somewhat) of a normal thing!
