Did it take you a long time to find work or did you find a job immediately?
Did you stay local or did you move to another city/state?
Did you look for jobs that were far from home?
Overall how did things change?
Right now, I'm still looking for work and it's been a little over a year. My goal is to get a job before Dec. 18th which would be the two year mark. Right now I have been looking for jobs in CT, NY, RI and NJ. I'm now about to start looking for work in other areas because...why not? My brother says that I should make sure that I am capable of being on my own in my own backyard before I move to another state where I don't know anyone. But I feel like sometimes there is nothing for a person in the state that they are from. I feel stuck here because there are not a lot of jobs in CT for someone with the degree that I have and on top of that there aren't many other jobs in other fields as well. There seems to be lots of jobs in NY but I still have yet to even get an interview there. I even paid someone to fix up my resume. Any suggestions?
Back when I was in college a family friend said to me, "don't expect things to be any different once you finish college." He couldn't have been any more correct.
