I never know how to get what I want...I never get the jobs or the pay I want?

I must be a lousey interview. People always say they can't pay me more than minimum wage even though I have a college education and plenty job experience.
What do other ppl do to get these great jobs? I felt like the last job I interviewed was being held "for" someone!

Now-a-days employers are very picky. Employers are more concerned with experience than education. I once went to an interview for General Electric and the interviewer told me that if he were my age he wouldn't even go to college but the military because employers want EXPERIENCE not a piece of paper that cost you 20k or more.

welcome to the 21st century..it's who you know not what you know...I know of several people who have college degrees working in a capacity that a junior high education would allow.
Well I may be somewhat of a populist, but heres my spin. The economy is making a shift towards how companies and corporations can get away with paying their workers less and less. Fundamentally, these businesses could care less if they are paying you what you really deserve, they are more concerned with rewarding themselves with what they believe they deserve.

And if you felt that last job was "being held", I wouldn't rule it out. Networking is key, thats how I got my current job even though its low wage. Connections make the difference.

My advice, stay at it and don't give up. You may have to settle for a job with pay you are better than, but don't stop looking for the job with the pay you deserve.
First off, alot of people are clueless on what to do with their lives (me included). You're not alone.

As for getting the career and pay you want, it really depends on experience and what you can offer with the company. If you think you can really deliver the work, don't settle for anything less and find another job worth the pay.

Sometimes you also have to build your "marketability." One way to do that is to invest with the job that you have right now for a good amount years so you can leverage your next career based on your work experience.

To improve your job interview skills, look back to what you think went wrong and learn from it. I would also suggest practicing for the interviews so you could at least cover most of what they might ask during the interview proper.
