I had an interview last week and my resume was 1 of 700!!!! How is a recent grad supposed to compete with those who have 3+ years out of college... Oh yeah, and just for numbers sake.

I graduated Dec. 07, had a great job at an ad agency but decided to go into the Peace Corps. Unfortunately, I didn't like it and decided to leave, not a risk I had thought of before. I came back and the next day we were in the mist of financial and mortgage issues! I moved to SF in November and have been job hunting since. I am working part-time in retail...not something I thought I would be doing. It is frustrating that I have a degree yet I make $10/hr and fold clothes for a living. There has got to be more than this right?! I feel that recent grads and students aren’t getting enough attention in this tough time.

But, if that's all that I have to worry about, then I'm not too worried. I'm thankful for the job, even though I realize sometimes I take it for granted!
