"Today was a terrible day because..."

[Neo Emolga]

It has been 5 months since I've wrapped up college and job hunting has not shown any signs of bearing fruit. I'd say 80% of the places I apply to never even call/email back saying "Thanks for applying, we aren't interested." Just radio silence. I've had 1 interview where they let me know I didn't get the job. Why is it socially acceptable to just ignore applicants? At least let me know I'm off the list!

I know I'll find something but it's sometimes really hard to stay positive when there's constant radio silence and no offers.

Job searching sucks. Take it from a guy who has had to do that numerous times and was unemployed for over a year in some cases. Just keep trying and don't give up. Most places aren't going to let you know if they're interested, so submit and move on to the next. It's just one of those things that takes time and dedication.
