So I am about to graduate with a degree in industrial engineering specializing in quality management, but I can't find a job to save my life. One place I applied to, I went through 2 interview rounds a general and a technical interview. You think after all that time I invested into the process you would get a rejection letter or something, but no. Another place I applied to I had worked there as an intern early into my college career, and after the position being up for a week it just disappeared off their website, but is still plastered all over LinkedIn. When I contacted the company they said they had already hired a candidate, after the post had only been up a week. I interned for them for 2 years and wasn't even given a chance to interview. Any advice not to lose hope in what feels like a fruitless job hunt.

    You can be the best qualified candidate. However capitalist hiring isn't about the best qualified candidate. Even if you would be a lousy candidate and even more lousy employee you deserve to reproduce.

      Yeah, honestly I do not know what I could jabe done realistically to be a better candidate. I am president of my universities student chapter of institute of industrial and system engineers club and had 3 internships. What is real bullshit is a lot of the positions want you to have your green belt in six sigma which takes requires me to take a proctored test and pay a lot of money for classes to help pass. My grades are not the worst. I think what I need to do is revamp my resume and hone my cover letter writing ability.

        Having enough capital do make a significant contribution to the companies stock?

        I wish you success and luck. But don't individualize too much if you can help it. You are not alone in this, it is a feature of the system.

          It's one of those weirdly specific industry things based off a quality theory from after world war 2.
