<prompt> Human: I have a masters in math and one in finance, both from state schools. Finished both with 4.0s. I did my undergrad at a public ivy, but only got a 2.75 there. I was happy with my scholastic performance turnaround and only applied for competitive jobs at the beginning of my job search. As time has passed, Ive been applying to anything and everything. Ive been living off of a small inheritance, but that money is almost gone. Ive recently applied to be a teller at a bank and at a local Target - no interview for either. I have two decent internships under my belt which I did during my last degree program. Im 31 and apart from those, I have no relevant work experience. What do I need to do differently?EDIT: I dont know anyone who works in any field that I have an interest in. EDIT2: Holy cow. Thank you for all the responses everyone. Did not expect this.Assistant: Gaps in employment will torpedo your chances, and job experience trumps having a degree for most things these days. How long and when were those internships?Human: They were both during my final masters program in finance. One was over the summer, and the second was during the fall semester, which was my last semester there. So summer and fall 2015.  <response>: Put both of them on your resume and keep them there. It doesnt matter if theyre relevant to what youre applying for at all, it shows that you were doing something in that time frame and not just sitting on your hands at home.More is better, then as you get your foot in the door and start doing work relevant to a career you start replacing the small stuff with the better stuff on your resume. Its all about presentation.
