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.

Most recruiters are useless but I've worked with one for a couple of years that has been great.

It can be easier to have a conversation with a recruiter than a company, and you may be more likely to get a role if they like you.

My last 3 jobs came from recruiters for jobs I didn't even put in for. I haven't heard from two of them since, but this one guy has come in and saved me a few times after things fell through
