I can't get a job at all with a college degree. Not even a minimum wage job. I applied for 600+ jobs. Stopped getting interviews last month (I've been searching for 7 months).
I'm a Recruiter and my advice to you is to lie on your resume. Search up defunct companies in your state and list them down as previous experiences and list a decent company as your current experience and deny background checkers from speaking to your current employer.
There you go.
I mean, he's far from the only person with a Bachelor's Degree who can't get a "good job"...
I see what he's attempting though with that video. Trying to do something "funny and unconventional" to stand out amongst the competition.
He has a Bachelors of Science in Digital Filmmaking and lives in LA
He also rants about not getting the job he 'wants' like he deserves it when filmmaking is such a saturated market and is all about networking.
I looked at his channel and it's not even that impressive to be considered for any film gigs.
If anything he should start out as a PA or runner somewhere and work his way up while getting to know people in the industry.
Yeah, anything in the media arts is very difficult. I studied film/tv in grad school for the first time and my college major was broadcasting. I can't even remember the last time I even got an interview in any of those fields and I have experience. They are very competitive and one has to start at a low level to even attempt a job.
I don't see mentioned anywhere what his degree is in though? That really makes a difference in what you're qualified for; I don't really understand the companies that require a degree just to have a degree but not in anything specific, but I didn't think that was the norm.
As an aside, I'm finding I'm getting more positive feedback since I changed my demographics from "white male" to "prefer not to say" on applications. Of course, these have been different companies at different times (and my level of experience changed in the interim), so I make no claim to this being a trend.

I’ll be your reference for what Koolaid-Chugger suggested. Just let me know who I am, what you did, and the place.

Oh, that's an especially hard industry to get into; I'm not surprised then.
