Hang in there maifan! My friend has been searching for a job since summer - I know it's hard right now, and I hope you & her both find something! Are you pretty open to the type of job you get - casting a wide net?

How do you like your new city? Having some fun?

I love and hate my new city. I was living in Chicago, and I loved every single thing about it, and I was able to make some awesome friends, I honestly think that was the happiest I've ever been in my life. I was working downtown in the loop, going out to different restaurants and clubs and bars, hanging out at the beach and just really enjoying my life. I moved to this new city for a temporary job because it is perfect for my field and needed the extra experience. I thought I was making one of those once in a lifetime decisions that drastically enhance your life, but unfortunately, I wasn't. The job was great, but they didn't offer me a full time job once it ended. So now I'm in this city by myself but I don't want to leave because I'll feel like a failure after leaving a situation I really enjoyed because I thought I was making a necessary career move.

The city is great but it pales in comparison to Chicago and I don't have any friends here yet. So I spend a lot of time in my room, looking for jobs and waiting on something to change. It just kinda depressing right now.

Thanks so much for your well wishes, IpodConga. Thank mean so much to me. I know something will eventually happen, but I'm just ready for it to happen already.
