I would like to ask about some helpful advice regarding my search for full-time employment. I am almost 30 and have never had a steady, full-time job. All of my work has been in grocery stores and retail, and at most I've gotten 35 hours a week, but for the last 6 months now I've either been unemployed or I've worked around 15 hours a week.
I didn't start working until after I graduated college, because of several factors. I also started college late, graduating at the age of 25. My B.A. is in theatre (no luck with that), and I've been trying to secure at least an interview with various companies offering full-time work since then. It has been in vain, since I haven't been offered interviews for anybody except for the aforementioned grocery stores.
What can I do to increase the chances that my applications are more likely to be noticed to make up for the fact that I'm getting into the job market roughly a decade later than most people are?
Or should I be seeing the writing on the wall and resigning myself to working in grocery/retail?
Please help. Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
