I am 2 years outside of my undergrad years (Geosciences) and finished grad school in GIS and Remote Sensing (scientific mapping and satellites) in May. I’ve been involved in an online part time job as a GIS Analyst but I am searching for a full-time in earnest due to the job’s unpredictable nature (work based on funding).
The array of resources given to me by a counselor from my former university has helped me to discover jobs that were far from Google searches and Indeed. I have applied to somewhere between 5-10 jobs in my home state and its neighbors, and was considered enough for a couple of interviews, but now I’m quickly in despair. I’m probably stupid for feeling this way compared to others who have had hundreds of applications out there with no response, but after non-responses from most of my potential employers and a failed attempt after an interview on Monday, my soul has been throwing a pity party.
I am interested in all things Geography and environmental due to my experience and natural passion for these fields but so far I’m being yoked by areas I’m terrible at. I’m already getting flustered because most of the jobs I’ve found so far just use my skillset for a different agenda, such as engineering and oil/gas, which are not my cups of tea. Most jobs I’ve looked at seem to require experience during college, so I will forever be at a disadvantage for putting my education first during my college years. This frustration and fear over not finding a job with an ulterior motive kept me up until 2:30 last night. I’ve been suffering anxiety for almost 3 years now so I tend to filter out the positives and hyperfocus on how I’m not good enough.
Any hope?
