Who's hiring need a new career!

Good luck man! It's a tough world out there at the moment. I'm 24 and still looking for a career after recently earning my bachelors. They just built a new fedex here I was thinking about looking into jobs for. 100's of applications and I've only managed two interviews and I'm still stuck in retail. Was okish but they just announced their dropping out insurance coverage next year too. Yay...lol

 

Public transit. If you're crazy enough there is a bus waiting for you.

 

I feel you brother

 

At FedEx you could go from part time dock to supervisor farely easy with that degree. It's happend here in three different cases.

 

At your age I would be all about the Armed Forces. You get to serve your country and opens up many doors once you are out. I wish when I was your age I had gone that route.

Best of luck!

Cheers, James

 

At the moment I do inventory and handle all the ordering and logistics at a gun range, so not like it'd be a big change. Lol. Issue I run into is all the entry level jobs say they want years of experience, which makes them not entry level. It's a vicious cycle.

At this point I'd like to get into the automotive industry somehow.

 

Iv also tried that im a ex college Defensive End.. They don't like you being over 215 pounds even with being taped and 6'3! Haha

 

Just curious, what is your bachelors in?

 

I don't know your interests, but if I were not pursuing other career paths, I would probably look at law enforcement right now. You may have to move for it, but applications are way down across the country. Being large and athletic will be helpful too.

 

Look at it this way drive big forklift pretty much like atv and make and unmake "puzzles" as in big rig trailors it keeps you active and physical busy going at it.

 

Agriculture. I've been aiming for stuff like the BLM, USGS, Dept of Ag, etc but again, nearly impossible to get in the system.

I had one position I interviewed for that they called me in for three separate interviews and I didn't get it. best I could figure is they wanted a guy as the interviews went really well. They hired nobody.

 

They don't care in the AF as long as you pass the rest of the stuff...

I was 6'0" 220 when I joined. I am 240 now. As long as you pass your PT test they don't care. Join the Air Force. See the world.

 

Ah yeah that is tough to get into, like you said once you are in you are good though. Forestry is a big major here like that.

 

I enjoy guns. I'm also an NRA Intsructor here. I'm more passionate about my truck and off-roading so that's where my money goes lol.

 

I work at FedEx freight in SoCal and make 90k as a road driver. We always need drivers in Halbrook,Az Armarillo Tx. Some of our service centers here SoCal need drivers too fyi

 

Learn non - destructive testing get good at it you can make big bucks

 

Best of luck on your job hunt. As far as military or LE goes, the job security and benefits usually come with a lot of stress, depending on your job. And extra scrutiny especially if you decide to go the LE route... you don't necessarily "see the world" in the military. (I might just be cynical, or the guy above drinks the Kool-Aid...) Really, no use in worrying too much, just keep searching and you'll figure something out eventually.

You're young. 23 is very young. Qualifications and education come with time.

 

I heard that it's guarantee first 15 years is graveyard when you do that at first... Is that true?

 

I hear ups has good pay for drivers, about 80,000 a year. But the driver positions are based on seniority, so you might have to work as a package handler for min wage for 10 years before you get to drive.

 

Depends what center you're out of. I'm out of a hub so that's not necessarily true for my location. The two places I mentioned have plenty of day runs. About half am. Bids.
And then there some centers that have zero day runs what so ever. Those are mostly satellite or end of line centers
