[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is at 300 apps and is getting interviews but no offers. She may be working retail instead of getting a paid internship. December grad so this was her last chance. She’s losing to sorority girls at public unis. At a top LAC. Career ed says it’s not her but the job market. I also think it’s racism.[/quote]
Using her humanities degree for marketing. The managers see her major despite many YoE and actionable leadership. She’s very depressed she gets passed on for girls in sororities who’ve never had to work two jobs at once. I don’t know what to tell her. She’s upset she may have to move back home.[/quote]

New grads usually lead resume with education but if she has solid related experience and feels the major is getting in the way, lead with the experience, including class projects, volunteer work, etc.

Maybe she's already doing this - Use the cover letter to directly tie her experience to the job listing, clear bulleted list.

If she graduates without a job, consider using that time to do a graduate certificate in marketing. Less investment than going to grad school but can fill the perceived gaps [/quote]
