I am letting out more frustration! Spoke to a career coach at the women's center yesterday and that will be my last time! Lack of job advice nothing new, heard the same bs in 08 and 2010 when I got my degree thinking it's 2015 there should be something different and unique for job advice.

I told her the usual like I told others I am financially strap for everything until I get a full time job somewhere then finishing up my BS and getting more education somewhere will be looked at down the road. Right now, I need money I need to make more money, I am not here to shovel dirt I'm here to find a pot of gold! We talked about my little experience in IT working at a college been there a year now. I said I don't find myself going into another field and completely forget about what I was taught at my current to me, that is a complete utter shame, embarrassment, and a slap in my face.

I feel regardless if I have the experience or not, I have a right to want a job with better pay within reason. My patience ran out long ago on waiting have applied 12 times to the college district and was turned down on jobs, I am in the system should be able to transfer easy but that isn't true anymore. I work with two different recruiters seeing if they can find me full time where a company can train me. I thought I had the job with one employer but they turned me down because I don't have sales experience but do have the technical background. I am done working part time time for me to move on I told the career coach I have my own personal and career goals that I'd like to achieve. I am not seeking a 2nd job, did have one for 10 days and the contract was over. My main goals are full time and move to another city with my boyfriend - charity starts with me is how I am looking at it now. I'd like to have a social life again!

Told the coach taking classes somewhere, working right now, and job hunting is a combination of 3 full time jobs. I am still mentally exhausted/stressed, depressed, etc like I got enough to concentrate on some freakin classes?! I've served my time volunteering, again, charity starts with me already "took cared of others" time to take care of me! Anyway, I am still applying to other IT low level (supposedly) jobs that I feel are closely matched to what I am doing now and still get told I don't have enough experience. It's a complete utter embarrassment, shame, etc to go to another field where my degree will be meaningless.

I just need a job that is gonna be the right decision for me and what's best for my financial needs that's my main focus should be a lot of people's focus depending on their situations. I am not here to listen to crap from these career coaches give me a damn direction where I can transition into full time asap! I told my recruiters I need a direct hire so I can move into the full time smoothly so tired of waiting.
