So, I am a non traditional student due to graduate this December. As I enter the market for a more professional career, I am often discouraged due to the fact that I am competing or trying to stand out amongst people 10+years younger than me.
I’m sure that is due to nothing but my ego. But at the same time I don’t have the internships/college activities/volunteering etc. that a “normal” college-aged person would have. The majority of my experience is in hospitality as a server/bartender and in construction. I feel more confused as to what I want to do now than before I started my college career and I have a hard time finding the value in past work be applicable to prospective jobs.
What could I do to narrow down my job search and to puff-up or match past work experience with a completely different field?
