I graduated in May 2008 also, and have yet to find a full-time job. It's so frustrating when you feel like you did everything right in college (I had many
internships, jobs and volunteer positions and graduated with a 4.0 in my major and minor), then end up with nothing. I majored in communication and have had
p/t positions in retail, banking and a medical office since last year...getting very frustrated, so you're not alone!
Anyone still jobless after graduating college?

I graduated June last year and am still working at my serving job. I serve a couple days a week and I bartend/close the other couple days. I have applied to
jobs in my field and NOTHING.
I can work in both Executive and Legal offices but I've had NO luck. I've also had 5 years + experience in an office job BEFORE I even went to school. |

Maybe you should have a friend who found a job out of college look over your resume. A typo, for example, will kill your chances at any job.
Also, if you live in a small town, you are going to have a much harder time finding something. You have to be where the jobs/opportunities are. Think about applying at the major metro areas in your state. |

I got my Business Degree last year and haven't found a thing. I've been applying like crazy and so far, only received one call back (which was awhile
back ago).
I still work at the job that I've had since 2006. I applied at the YMCA yesterday and I've seriously thought about subbing but I just keep putting it off.

I have three friends that graduated in December. Two of them have jobs, but they're not career jobs. They're food service "in the mean time"
jobs.

I'm still jobless and it sucks.....my degree doesn't feel like it's worth the paper it's printed on
 But hopefully I'll have something to do in the next few weeks...just
started the interview process..
