Well my internship is coming to an end next week. I graduate on May 8th and will be working at my church’s summer camp till mid-July (that’s a totally different blog topic). Though once my time at camp comes to an end, I haven’t the slightest idea what I will be doing. Since the beginning of this semester, I have tried to use my time and resources wisely to obtain a job upon graduating. Unfortunately, I haven’t had much luck. I have done the usual networking and postings on job sites. I have applied for specific jobs and simply sent my cover letter and resume to various agencies, newspapers, stations, etc. Let’s just say….I’m getting a little frustrated. It seems to me that all the entry-level jobs are being filled with more experienced individuals. This means me moving back home to live with my parents…uh, yeah….not looking forward to that. So, I guess what I am trying to say is….help! What do you suggest I do? Am I missing out on some magic secret to finding a job? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Sincerely,
The unemployed
I totally understand your frustration. I just got a job with the American Cancer Society, but it only lasts until the end of July. So, while I did buy myself some more time… I will soon be back to the job search again. It seems like everyone wants at least 3-5 years of experience. But I often get frustrated because if no one will hire us, how do we get this experience? Good luck with the job search, I’m sure you’ll be able to find something.
