Stay persistent my fellow NT'ers. The opportunities are out there. And a special note to college graduates, as much as it may pain you to take a job thatyou may be "overqualified" for, take it. Pride doesn't pay bills and that gap in employment history is not a good look for future employers.
Also, the number one thing I see, DON'T GET LAZY WITH RESUMES. I see people sending out the same resume for job positions that are different (but may be inthe same category). I know you may get sick of tinkering with resumes, especially because creating an initial one is so time consuming, but altering yourresume to fit the needs of a company is very powerful, and worth the extra effort..

seriously, I cannot imagine myself not having a job now.
stay up people. as someone said, dont half-a$s your resume. tailor it to the career/job that you're applying for. and remember, one small mistake on yourcover letter and resume will trash your resume in 2 secs or less.

I've been unemployed for just a little over a month. Luckily I have a decent savings but it hurts to see it lessen so quickly.

being a teacher is tough....couldn't find a teaching gig my 1st year out of my cred program, but ended up being hired full time when some $%@@ went downwith another teacher
Got laid off though, and again, no job, at least not in my subject....subbing now....luckily unemployment checks are coming thru, and I'm getting a decentamount of days subbing so far to stretch that unemployment fund

Man I am so down these days. I have 3 years of college and can't even find a damn job. I hardly ever even get called for an interview. When I do I think Iown it at the end but never get called back even after following up. Sucks right now for finding a job, I worked for a temp agency for almost a year and hadgood references from the company and everything but they won't hook me up with a job since I had shoulder surgery 6 months ago. Been able to find somerandom jobs to stay hanging out with people but this has to change. I need to find a job and get back in school ASAP.
