Being one of the possible many unemployed comp sci/comp eng recent graduates. Im wondering what else can I do to facilitate getting a job. In the beginning, like early this spring before I graduated, I went to my school of engineering carreer placement office. Got my resume critiqued and all that fun stuff, supposedly got it published in a big resume book to be sent out to employers. Guess that didnt quite work out
. Also during that time and up until recently, I surfed around the web and either sent out resumes to companies that were looking for entry level engineering or used snail mail. Slowly from graduation til now I went down the list in my head of possible jobs I thought I could do. Going from entry-level engineering through IT and down to the lowest level of tech support. All this to no avail
. Also since about this the start of this month, I've been looking at regular old jobs in retail stores, seasonal work. It would be something to keep my hands busy and to make a little money. I wouldnt say I'm the kind of person that is so prideful that I couldnt stomach a job like this, but given the kind of state of the comp industry it would give me a chance to make a little money DOING SOMETHING. Ahahaha but again to no avail, Im guessing Im over-qualified with a comp eng degree. I've tried retail chain stores like Target and working part-time as a bank teller but I havent heard anything from either. As for grocery stores no openings. So right now Im wondering what else could I possibly do to land any sort of job
. I've tried looking for good job placement companies but I really havent found any. Im in the northern New Jersey area, so if anyone that knows of any ones in Jersey or New York that are good feel free to tell me. Oh yea right now I've had family and extended family try too hook me up with something anything but so far nil
. Man I gotta say this situation sucks big time, but hey Im learning patience if anything maybe I have bad luck or something. But if any one offer any intelligent suggestions feel free to reply. No I will not be out being a male gigolo
