Oh this is so true. And all I can say is: ha-ha-ha, sucks to be them. I graduated from college this June with a degree in PSYCHOLOGY, and I have a lucrative job. My secret? I started applying for jobs in the October before I graduated. I targeted three metro areas, and posted my resume every few weeks on the respective craigslist; I repeatedly sent in resumes for every position on craigslist/monster that I was remotely qualified for; I networked. And eventually, someone emailed me from one of my craigslist postings and I landed a job.
I don't pity anybody in my graduating class who doesn't have a job. Obviously they aren't smart enough to deserve one.
- abalashov 17y agoI think your indictment of your peers is neither realistic nor fair, if for no other reason than from a bare quantitative perspective. For every person who is "not smart enough" to get a job, there are several for whom jobs are not available, but whom you can rationalise as "not smart enough" in order to make yourself feel better about your own luck.
- zackattack 17y agoI explicitly described how I made my own luck. I doubt any of my whiny unemployed peers undertook similar efforts, applying for 300+ jobs. I would mention my gpa but I don't want to add insult to injury.
