Not sure if I'm posting the right sub but here we go. I'm a 21y old Male residing in Central Coast California, Recently graduated from a respectable community college. Majored in Computer Information Systems (Associates)and have already a solid 2 years experience as on site Tech support for the schools business department and I'm also a paid Computer applications tutor on top of that, including great references. In my eyes that would be a solid foundation for many entry level help desk jobs. I don't have any certifications right now since my hand to mouth living doesn't let me afford it.

My situation is that my job is only part time and I need something more stable. Being an immigrant with a work permit that strictly limits me to tech jobs is also an issue since I in any other case would have no problem asking if someone wants extra fries with their shake. realistically I wouldn't need to earn more than 12/hr as long as its full time.

But i cant for the love of ALL THAT IS HOLY get another tech job!?? I have applied to so much and gone on some many interviews to any kind of possible job from over the phone support that pays less than what I make now to big corp jobs that doesn't even call back despite me fitting their job ad perfectly. I have still yet to get past a second interview. I have a solid well made Resume and tailor a good Cover for each job I apply to but nothing.

Is it my location? Are there any cities that would make the hunt easier, LA/SF would be kind of contra productive since the rent would skyrocket. Seattle maybe?
