Hey guys I am new here, and I know this is the 'social lounge' so it's off topic, but I have been wondering some things.
I went to college for a year for Computer Information Services and then another year for Computer Programming where I learned the programming languages as well as web design. I also took a lot of web design in highschool and IT in high school and did it on the side.
I live in a small town where there is like no companies that hire computer guys. So i have been applying to places out of my town, in different states yah know? I have applied to over 300 jobs and yet can't seem to get a single interview. I got 2 interviews like a month ago and have applied to over 150 jobs since then and nothing. I am getting so discouraged. I know a 2 year degree isn't that much now a days and plan to go back, just having some waiting games on going back. I was planning on getting a job and going back while working but I can't even get a job!
So how do you get your foot in the door?
I also want to start doing some web design on the side and create a website. Start doing freelance work. I have tried this but it still seems like you can't get your foot in the door as well. I am only 20 years old so I virtually have no experience I can flaunt and that is what seems to be hurting me in both of the areas. I try to do freelance work and there is always someone who has more experience and the people go with them. I apply for entry-level jobs and yet, still nothing!
So what does a guy have to do to go somewheres?!
