Recent Graduate Struggles to Find Employment in New York City Amidst Economic Challenges
A recent college graduate from The New School in New York City is facing significant challenges in securing full-time employment despite a strong academic record. The graduate, who moved to New York City with aspirations of starting a career, has been unable to find a job in her field since graduating last May. Despite applying to approximately 200 positions, she has only received rejections or no responses at all. The competitive job market, compounded by the impact of AI on job availability, has left her reliant on her parents for financial support, including paying her rent. This situation has led to feelings of guilt and failure, as she struggles to maintain her independence and pursue her career goals.
