Elif Balin, a career counselor at SF State, explained that the struggle for employment does not only pertain to the graduating class of 2020. The pandemic responsible for creating the worst economic condition since the Great Depression is affecting everyone. Balin’s advice for SF State’s class of 2020 is to not be overly particular when job searching. “Recent college graduates may need to compromise and find employment that isn’t in their field, like working in a grocery store or other essential businesses,” Balin said. “This doesn’t mean that you’re going to be miserable or that you’ll never get your dream job. It will give you experience, give you a sense of purpose during these times and actually benefit mental health.” Balin explained how important it is to find any type of employment within six months of graduating. Being unemployed for an extended amount of time can discourage individuals. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• 📝 🎥 Article and video by Erica Gray...
