Sigh

Eventually you reach that point in your job search where you've applied to everywhere in a 25 mile radius that's accepting applications and all you can really do is check Craigslist and Monster everyday for new postings and when they don't have anything, you just sort of sit around all day feeling useless. This is the worst, most hopeless feeling

Hon, I definitely know what you're going through. It sucks. This economy doesn't make it any better. If you want to gripe some more or just shoot the shit, IM me: speeddva8 on AIM.

Thanks!

This happens to so many of my friends I wish I had a job where I had the ability to hire people. (And then they have to deal with, 'you're not trying hard enough!' bit from strangers. And it's like, fuck you.)

I'd hire you if I could! Hang in there and keep the faith.

Thank you!

*hug* I hope you hear back some good news soon! I hear this so often from friends, I'm kind of terrified about entering the market myself when I finish grad school...

At least you'll have a degree backing you. That makes it so much easier. I've just got a high school diploma and 3 semesters of community college.

Try calling the next day after you drop off your resume to prove you are interested, do some research on their business and say why you are interested in it

You dont have to give refs unless they ask for them. keep them private until they do

[sherbertglasses]

Oh, I always do that stuff.

[hoshinekoyasha]

Awesome!

Your like the first person Ive met you actually calls to follow up!

[sherbertglasses]

Really? I thought that was a job-hunting standard.
