Job Anxiety

[salsa_maggi]

Looking at job posts, I feel like such a loser. I'm looking for entry-level stuff, but they still expect experience that I don't have. I couldn't afford to take an internship, and I didn't even know what I specifically wanted to go into (women's health) until this last year, so it's not like I could have prepared for it and tailored my college

Even if you don't know SPSS, you can insist that you learn fast and that training wouldn't be a waste of time. Employers are more willing is employ someone who is kind, motivated and always wanting to learn much more than someone who thinks they know everything and a jerk. They won't find it a waste of time at all if you can convince them that even if it is 6 months, it will be an enjoyable and productive 6 months with you working for them.

Experience is only half of what's needed in looking for a job, the other half is confidence in yourself. Your lucky that you are in California where there are tons of opprotunities for jobs (compared to Michigan). I would suggest to go ahead and get the CA license, if worse comes to worse you can always change it if you need to move.

Not one day goes by where I don't wish I was hanging out with my chullas in Ecuador. :(

Guanábana!

I agree with Heidi. You pick things up quickly, so go for it.

And I don't think any major is stupid. Finding a job with a liberal arts degree is the worst, and even if you find something decent, there's no job stability right now. Good luck and I hope you get this job.

Liebe!
