Thats why I'm still unemployed. lol
I feel for you and your friends. My friend resorted to grad school because he couldn't find a job after 1 full year of searching. Companies are downsizing while the market is getting saturated with new grads and laid off workers.Originally posted by: crumpet19
I've been unemployed for the previous month. I spend the majority of my time studying. However, when I'm not studying I'm out looking for a job. It's very difficult for me to find work in a college town. I'd say that most of my friends are unemployed -not by choice.

When I was unemployeed, I learned that when you're unemployed, your full-time 40 hour a week job is to look for a job.

I looked for a job all day today... Nearly lost my mind since it's so frustrating, not to mention Insanely boring.

Yeah, it sucks. I know what you're going through. The loneliness is worst.

Unemployed???? Unheard of! Bush said we had plenty of jobs. So many that we're thinking about giving some away to illegal immigrants. You must not be a Republican!

I spend about 10hrs but it varies depending on how many postings I find on the net and newspapers. Maybe I should do cold calling but I've read that most resumes that are spammed out just get filed away never to be seen again.
I've been unemployed since I graduated last summer. I think that there are virtually no entry level positions in IT right now. I've been to 3 temp agencies and the only job I've been offerred is one in shipping - something that doesn't even require a high school education! I was even rejected from Best Buy when I applied there at the beginning of the Christmas shopping season.
I've had an internship in the past and tried to get a position with that company but they've had some hard times (and their "former" execs are in trouble with the law). Half their programmers are now from China which is very ironic because I'm Chinese myself!
Job searching is a sham. Everything I've read tells me that most jobs are placed through networking (viva nepotism!) and college grads have to rely on networking even more than the general population (80% vs 70%).
