text: i am 26 yrs old and i am always having bad luck on getting that great job that i am so confident about why ?   perhaps you need to have a few people take a look at your resume to give you some feedback. i would also do some mock interviews and see what professionals think about your interviews skills. the best place to find these resources are at a college, specifically technical colleges want you to succeed so they offer these services to you. another way to practice is go to job fairs, and have different employers take a look at your resume. hopefully you will be able to figure out if there is something that might be turning employers away so that you can correct it.
