Why is getting a job so damn hard? To set the scene, I have been applying to entry-level positions for the past month and a half. And I am not talking about just entry-level corporate roles. I’ve applied to local businesses, grocery stores, bartending positions, and service roles. I have applied to, what I will dub, more “corporate roles” as well. But I will discuss that experience in a few paragraphs.  So why can’t I work at my local Wegman’s or Target as a store associate?
