I'm freaking losing it - how do you find work? (hexbear.net)

Got a string of rejections for my applications on Indeed.

I live in the US and I haven't landed an interview since last year.

I'm working on my resume now, but if there are any tips on where to look, or services that might help connect me with work, I'm all ears.

I've got a graduate education and I'm considering omitting that information as I apply to entry level positions. What kind of sick joke is it that someone can be overqualified for a job?

Also if you want to commiserate and say work sucks in different ways, that's cool too.

How much did a recuiter cost you? That sounds hella useful IF the cost-reward balance is good.

Also, what kind of profession were you in that made a recruiter make sense for you? I can imagine it making alot of sense for an engineer and not a whole lot of sense for a 'starter job' like cashier or janitor.

The recruiter was paid by the companies to find people so it was at no cost to me. I have little experience of recruiters I would pay i feel like they'd be different. Most recruiters i end up in contact with are from linkedin DMs. Its been about 7 years since I've had to apply for a job so I don't know how relevant anything i say is now.

I'm one of those cringe programmers so the recruiter worked out well but yeah it'll not be so great for other jobs although i have no experience to know.
