I think that understanding the reason behind your
actions (the why) is the thing that propels you forward when you need to just
keep on keeping on, it’s what makes you feel passionate about something and persevere
to keep going even though everyone is telling you to quit, sometimes, even that
little voice inside your head. However, if the why is important enough, nothing
will matter and you will keep going until you make things happen.

Hi Kenya! Thanks for stopping by the blog. Your story really touched me. First off, let me tell you that you’re not alone. And I don’t mean that to sound cliche. But, it’s true. Thousands of people are looking for jobs, and it’s not that there aren’t opportunities out there. I believe that either you haven’t found the right job or right company fit for you, or the right job hasn’t found you.
Practically speaking, there may be some things you need to tweak in your job search, such as your resume or the way in which you get your foot in the door. For instance, rather than cold call, find someone internally who could refer you to a position. Perhaps a professor could serve as your advocate and mentor — they often have connections in the industry. Without knowing your specific situation, those are just some ideas.
Thanks for being so transparent. It sounds like your faith is struggling right now. And that’s OK. I’ve been in your shoes a time or two. So hang in there. Even if you have to move back home, don’t consider that as failure. In fact, it’s a blessing considering so many recent graduates may not have that as an option. See it as an opportunity to reassess your goals and get your footing on solid ground and to be strategic about your next move. It’s also an opportunity to save money before you move into a place of your own. When I graduated from college, I ended up doing two internships before getting hired full time — and that didn’t happen until about 8 months after graduation. So it’s not unusual, especially nowadays, to end up finding a job several months and up to a year after college. So please try not to be discouraged about the timeline.
I would suggest (if you haven’t done this already) to ask that God specifically give you clarity about which career path you should take, give you direction on where to search for jobs, and that He will make it obvious as to what you should do in moving forward. I pray that he gives you the peace and clarity that you need right now. If you need specific advice, you can always email me at info@thecareerpioneer.com.
Hang in there, Kenya!

I’m glad that I found this website. I am a recent graduate looking for a job. I have been on the job hunt for eight months. It has been a very difficult journey. I am unmarried, my family is not in a position to help me financially, and it looks like I will have to move home. I have been fighting depression all this week. I am yet holding on. I asked God why I am in this situation. I feel like there are some things about myself and my purpose that has been yet discovered. Hopefully, I will learn the lesson in all of this.
