How do i get my life back?

Question

couple of years ago i graduated from an institute majoring hospitality and tourism industry, i earned experience and i had the opportunity to move to the united states. i worked jobs that i've never done before, server, hostess. but it was never me. i enjoyed it for a while, and looked like it's good money. i want deny that it helped me start my american life and get on my feet.

i struggled living in the united states by myself, being the only member of my family here. i intended school and i worked hard, and all i wanted is to get my professional life back. however, i sent my degree to Miami for translation.

i want to go back to school and finish what i started in my country. i looked for a full and part time job in some hospitality companies in orlando but i don't think any of them would take my resume in consideration, due to my current position as a server.

i want a start to show my potentials and improve my skills. i work hard and am very professional, organized and very competent.

i don't know what to do, i just wanted to share with you instead of keeping this sad feeling inside me.

best regards

milou

Answer 2

I had a friend go through a similar situation.  He graduated from a uni in Australia, and moved back the the states after graduating.  He told me that few american companies knew of his college when he interviewed.  As a result he gathered info on his university's reputation.  Anything you can find with information promoting your school, (particularly in the field you majored in,) will be helpful in the interview.  

Also, dont be afraid to interview because of your current position.  A good company is not worried about what you are doing, but about what you can do for them in the future.  If they see talent, ambition, and someone who can learn, they will teach you what you need to know.

Best of luck!
