I graduated with a BS this May from a four year college. In the old days I would have already had a job in my field at graduation, or shortly after. Instead I found myself interning, without pay, for my stepfather in the sign/ construction business. As I was doing this I was attempting to network with people I had worked with before while reworking my resume several times and making two separate copies. Copy number one was for the "hold me over job". Copy number two was for my "dream job".
Several months later (the very tail-end of August) I finally had a successful interview. At the end the woman asked me when I could start. I couldn't have been happier. Wait a minute, I just excitedly, nay giddily, accepted a cashier job at a hardware store. Isn't that what I did for a summer job between junior and senior year? How did I manage to get stuck in that position again? Well, it's a paycheck and will be relatively regular scheduling.
Now I'm looking for my dream job, or at least the stepping stone to it.
