As I sat on my bed reading a book, pondering how much longer I will hear thank you for your interest in this position but at the time we are not hiring..blah blah blah. I think I have received the same email generated by about 2o different companies. They all seem the same thank you, your are more then qualified but___ fill in the blank signed____ what ever company I applied at. As I continue to receive these emails I'm beginning to be exhausted by the constant attempt to stand out amongst a crowd of equally qualified college graduates. As I was begging to lose hope I received a phone call from a friend.
Uyen Nguyen, yep around 10pm she called me to do what a good friend does best cheer me up. She began by quoting some statistics and putting her own spin on things. For example, last year only 40 percent of graduates found jobs and it took about 6 months after graduation before they found jobs. "So it's not our qualifications, it's the stupid economy" She said. It made me laugh so hard, I realized there must be soo many people in the same boat.
So next time you are feeling down about not finding a job after being a college graduate remember there are many in the same boat. For example me and my group of college girl friends are still on the search for a great job.
Don't lose hope keep applying away, hopefully (in the near future) you will be employed.
xoxo
Lori
