Ask HN: I've really botched my job search, help Is there any recourse?
I grew up in first-gen household with a family retail business. I got into a good school and worked full-time while earning my undergrad. I was able to complete an one-year MBA at the same school. I went on an exchange, which made me miss a major recruiting cycle. I came back and interviewed with a firm over two months, that ended up falling through because they lost the project they were going to staff me on. Its been almost 6 months+ since graduation and most interviews have slipped through my fingers. Networking has really led no where for me ( a couple of referrals).
TL:DR - I'm left with no brand on my resume, an overpriced degree, and a large gap on my resume after graduation.
Any advice, resources or someone to talk to would be appreciated!

I will try to highlight/show that.
