Anyone actually hiring in CT, preferably NHV area?
Hi Reddit. I’m a 21 y/o female seeking employment.
My job experience is all over the place (lifeguarding, admin, retail, fast food). I’m currently working on obtaining a bachelors degree in software engineering and have been unemployed since August 2025.
I am so totally lost with the job market in this state. I’ve been applying all over, online and in-person! So far nothing. No one writes or calls back. I’ve changed my resume up a few times, dress appropriately, maintain good hygiene, practice for interviews, have consistent transportation etc. but I can’t seem to get my foot through anyone’s door.
I’m a hard worker. I hold myself to high standards no matter what I’m doing. I’ve always been someone who’s very flexible and open to new experiences. I really want to work, I don’t enjoy having nothing to do and with the end of my semester coming up, I feel dreadful.
If anyone has any suggestions or can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it. I don’t have a social network in my life so thank you to anyone who read this far :)
Edit: Thank you to everyone who left leads or tips for me! I was feeling really pessimistic about our collective economic future and wondering if I even made the right decision to study right now. I feel much more confident about my prospects.
