It is Thursday afternoon, cold, rainy, and cloudy outside of Baltimore MD and I am starting to go crazy at home... I graduated from college in May and after actively searching for employment since the start of September, I'm still unemployed... I try not to stress about this since too bad since like 1 in 10 U.S. citizens are in the same boat but its startin to really suck. Im not asking for advice on where or how to get hired, I am just curious to know what everyone else on this forum does to make a living, or just some part time loot... if your unemployed, lemmie hear from ya too, maybe get some networking going, offer some leads.... thanks
i am working my first job out of college in finance right now. instead of being selective, i took the first job i was offered. it's a good job at a good company, but i don't really have any chance of elevating myself here. for that reason, i'm looking for a new job, but am having a reallllyyyy tough time..
i'm a veterinary tech by trade,but i lost my job to the economy in march. i have looked since then,but every time i apply to a job,i ask how many others have applied. the answer is usually somewere between 60-100. i have taken on some odd jobs here & there for cash,helped my friend out doing autoglass repair/replacement. i seem to able to find odd jobs here & there enough to keep me barely going. this economy sucks & i don't see job hiring going up anytime soon.
I'm a social worker in DC - I work with elementary school kids in at-risk neighborhoods. Not great in terms of weekdays off during hurricane season, but I get plenty of time off over holidays and during summer. The education/social services fields are generally pretty good in terms of job security, though we did have a ton of layoffs this fall due to mismanagement specifically in the District. Best of luck on the job search.
I am looking for Finance now too, been in insurance for too long, but not having much success either. I still have hope though and will probably be moving back home down to the DC area, from Northern DE as things appear to be much better down there. Will have a Masters in April so hopefully, if something doesn't happen before then, it will help some.
Sales for an online retailer. We are hiring and have been pretty much through the downturn but mostly technical positions. You can see what's open here click on careers. Makes for a long commute to surf but not too bad barring traffic. www.simplexity.com
I work in Private Equity in NYC. I actually met the CEO of my firm by giving his kids surf lessons. In these times, it's a lot to do with who you know.
Dude, Coast Guard, SRDC Program if you want to part time it or Full time enlistment and with your degree you can become an officer. You can get money towards those school loans, be near the water, get the picture. I would have been doing that now but was diagnosed with Asthma after the age of 13 despite the fact I have no symptoms these days(do I sound bitter?), now I'm driving limos, yay...But I'm saving money, gonna either be teaching English overseas or working for club Med come January. Expand your perspective and ask yourself, where and what is it that you want to do? Then just do it...

Risk mitigation and compliance for the mortgage industry. When I talk shop my friends eyes usually gloss over and their minds start to drift. I make sure that the lenders work in compliance and that they work with good associates. The company I work for grew from under 35 people when I started... we are now over 800 employees in just a little over 5 years. Oh, and we went public. Second largest IPO release in the past few years.
I got the best job of them all... Student, and I'm gonna milk it for as long as I can. In the summer I teach surf lessons for wrv, but I'm pretty sure that job won't be there again this summer. And I dj some house parties here at college and usaully get paid pretty well for that. And yo dude, I got a way for you to make cash... Its called selling nugs . Kidding
