SOMEBODY HIRE ME!!! I have applied to about 10, 000 jobs it seems. Everything from Engineering, Estimating, and CAD work to Administrative Assistants, Sales, JC Penny and Marketing! I don't know where else to apply. I'm either over-qualified (as in will leave that job as soon as something else comes along) or under-qualified. I think I graduated at about the WORST time possible. Luckily my husband has a good job, and I pray nothing ever happens to his company causing him to lose his job!
I've had few interviews, mostly at hourly type places, and one of the questions I get asked when they look at my resume is, "Sooo engineering? So that means if I hire you and some engineering job comes along in either, say 2 weeks or 2 months, you're going to leave this place?" Well duh, but I need a job NOW!!! Engineering/construction isn't doing so well right now, as in not doing a lot of hiring right now! Another problem with engineering jobs is that "senior level" engineers have been laid off as well. So all these "entry level" jobs that me, and every other unemployed engineering graduate are applying for are also getting applied for by these senior level engineers. Guess what that means! Senior level work and experience for entry level pay. Where does that leave me?????? JOBLESS!! I think I'm losing it...these walls are closing in! On the plus side...my house is spotless :)
