Can't get a job but I do have some volunteering experience

I just graduated with a 2.2 in Economics from QMUL, and I can't get even the most basic jobs. Even clerk jobs require programming skills and experience which I don't have.

I volunteered throughout the entirety of university. That included being a project manager for hobbyist projects and actually delivering, as well as being a DJ/presenter in two online radios. No jobs that I've seen require either of those skills, so I'm very much stuck.

Also, I'm very much struggling with the bills and my family is against volunteering further because it doesn't pay the bills.

Which paying job titles and/or companies would be suited to me, considering my CV shows a passion for IT and gaming in particular, and my skills?

Any help would be appreciated :smile:

That's silly if you can't find anything better.

Any hobbyist projects I do are just that - hobbies. They just so happen to give me a lot of competency based answers for future interviews, because there are always disagreements between team members and difficult tasks galore.

But I can't find any paying job which requires the skillset that I have.
