Hello, i’m a recent college graduate with a B.A. in Communication/Concentration in Mass Comm. Shortly after graduating I decided to quit my college job(working as a cook at a restaurant) to move right away to the Charlotte area to be closer to my girl friend(previously we were long distance). I arrived in mid December and i’ve been staying with my dad, who lives around Charlotte. When I got here I immediately started looking for a job. I applied at all types of jobs and thought i’d be pretty satisfied if even if a smaller kind of job was offered.

I did get an interview with a restaurant where they were hiring server’s assistants for the front. After attending the interview I later found out I was passed over for someone else. After thinking about it I came to realize that maybe I made it sound like I was just looking for something/anything and perhaps they would be afraid i’d leave them as soon as another opportunity came my way and perhaps they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to offer me the time on the clock I desired. Perhaps with a BA I was overqualified? Later, I received an interview opportunity to be a hospital registrar. After attending the interview I felt it went well but then a few days later I was informed I didn’t get the job. I now find myself in early February looking for anything I can find. I’ve applied for all kinds of jobs, ones related to my degree and ones that aren’t. I feel like maybe i’m either overqualified with a BA for smaller jobs or under-qualified for the larger ones. I feel like if I had stayed where I originally was(Louisiana) maybe I could have had better luck, maybe getting being able to get a job much sooner as potential employers would have been more familiar with the smaller college I attended. I hope I don’t come to regret my decision to move. Any advise or insight on what I should do? Thanks!
