I graduated from my master's program in International Relations just four months ago in May. I went to a top-10 school for my field of study in the US. I am still in the process of looking for employment, but to no avail. Apparently, the US job market is very tight with seemingly many available job opportunities. My school career center has not been helpful and offered very minimal advice on job search during my time there as a student. For example, the only feedback that the career coaches ever gave me on a cover letter was to never use "Hello." For my other cover letters, they never made a single remark or feedback. I am done using my previous grad school's career services as they are very ineffective.
The problem is that for the jobs that I am interested in, I lack experience because most to all of them require at least a certain number of years of experience. However, for other jobs that should be seemingly easy for me to get, I am overqualified. I got rejected by jobs that I am overqualified for too, such as a cashier position among many other rejections. I know that misrepresenting academic credentials are seen as the worst offense on the job seeker's part, but oftentimes the case that person is dishonestly boosting academic credentials. In my case, my grad school experience has not been helpful, and besides, I absolutely hated my grad school experience because I met some of the most foul-mouthed and unpleasant people in my life. I understand that I made a poor investment. Would it be okay for me to omit my master's program and undergraduate graduation date (just listing my undergraduate education) from my resume? I realize that my current lifestyle as a job seeker is unsustainable in the long run.
