To those of you trying to find jobs, I now know how you feel. Just keep your head up! And good luck.

As Die said, that is an excellent attitude to have when job hunting, or honestly anything. That optimism and determination will pretty much get you through anything!

Also, word of advice, most places that ask for crazy requirements or have a long list of requirements, they're not really requirements. Those are things they'd prefer a potential employee to have, no ones a veteran trained employee straight off the bat. Your best bet is to apply to any and all jobs you want to apply to and just hope for the best, and if you don't get hired the first few jobs, keep applying, someone will definitely hire you. I was in a similar position 5 years ago. Out of highschool and no work experience. I saw lots of hiring opportunities but was scared and apprehensive to apply bc of the requirements. Then a friend of mine told me what i told u, did that for a couple weeks, got rejected loads of times, but then got hired at one of nyc's local tv stations. I had no experience in production work or anything for that matter. However, they trained me and gave me all the know-how to go from trainee to producer in 3 years. Oh and make sure to have individually tailored resumes for each job you apply to, those really help. Put any skills that you think would be applicable to the job, even, as Kurona said, you could put excel, spreadsheet, or any other basic computer skill, and that would give you an edge.

Keep up that can-do spirit and you'll definitely land a great job soon!
