I graduated in May 2008 and got my first job in October.  This is because i moved back home after I graduated college, but I also knew I was going to be moving to another state in September.  So I just took the summer off and enjoyed it.  I did not actually start looking for jobs until after I moved in October.

I worked as a research coordinator for a study on people with schizophrenia.  I stayed there for a year and a half.  That was pretty much the plan all along.  I wanted to work as a research assistant in order to get more experience to make my grad school application more competitive.  After about year there I applied to grad school and got in (hooray!), so I left the job.
