I just recently graduated from college (May '04) and I am still unemployed! I have been temping for a little over a month but I have applied to a great number of jobs and still nothing permanent has come about. I don't want to be temping forever. I am still applying for postions while temping and the temp agencies have told me they would assist with finding temp-permanent positions but they haven't come up with anything and I still haven't found anything I like and I get stuck answering phones for places that don't pay enough! I know the economy is bad but I don't want to work somewhere that I hate and makes my college degree a waste of money. I apply to tons of companies and organizations but never hear back from them despite the fact that I have alot of good/ various work experience. Any advice? |

I don't think you should be worried at all if you just graduated in May 04. Several of people that graduated with me (in 02) took about a year to find a real job. You are actually in a pretty good position because you have the time to really decide what it is you want to do. Employers are also very understanding that it is harder to get a "real job" right after graduation and you are working, so it shows them that you are motivated. Just decide what kind of job you really want and then start to network (talk to people in that field) with everyone that you can. But in all seriousness, if you only graduated in 04, you definitely shouldn't start stressing out yet. Good luck.
