I can’t find a job
Question:
Good day,
I'm 20. I've been searching for a new job since I lost my previous one. I'm a web developer and a graphics designer. It has been frustrating searching for a new one. I've been rejected more times than I can count. I even got an acceptance email, and I never got a follow-up after that.
Answer:
Why does the alternative to landing a desired job have to be making money in a way that brings shame on the Lord? Let's start with a better basis: Any job that you take must glorify God and honor His teachings (Colossians 3:17).
Finding a job involves having the right qualifications, finding companies that need your skills at this moment in time, and being the best candidate from the pool of candidates who also applied for the job. Web design is a growing field, but that also means there are a large number of people attempting to enter it. Being new to the field means you lack qualities that can distinguish you from the rest, such as experience and a portfolio of quality designs. It is tough breaking into a career field and gaining a foothold.
This means that you may need to take any legitimate job for a while to earn income and prove that you can be a dependable employee while you continue searching for the desired job. You might have to take a less-than-ideal position in the same or related field to build up work experience. You may have to broaden where you look for a job or be willing to move to a location simply because there is a job available.
