<p>I graduated in August 2009 with a double major in Accounting and Business Administration with a concentration in Finance. GPA's were overall 3.389, Majors 3.7, past 60 credits 3.9 and I was top in all my upper accounting classes.</p>
<p>I've been having difficulty finding any jobs. I am currently working a temp job and was previously working another temp job which I left because there was no opportunity there. Getting paid 14 now, was 12 at the other place. These were the only two job offers I had. First one I got a call and offered, the second was the only call back I received after nearly a THOUSAND job applications that I sent out through e-mail, job websites, and comany websites.</p>
<p>I know people always say network, network, network. I have joined several organizations and have attended networking/career events but it don't seem like people are so interested in networking with me unless I'm either a working professional already or have something else going on for me. I also moved around a lot growing up which may seem like it would help with networking since I would have the chance to meet many people, but what it actually ended up doing was just make it so that I never really had any strong relationships. Also don't have any family network or family or family friend's network. So networking with pre-existing relationships is not an option.</p>
<p>I would really love to work at a Accounting firm but that don't seem so likely now. I would like to work for the finance department too but it seems like that's no so likely neither. Is there anything that I can do? I would be willing to relocate but where I live now is New Jersey and really should be the best place to live in the country for jobs like this. I have access to jobs in New Jersey, New York City and Philly (I have mostly applied to positions in Jersey and NYC).</p>
<p>Is my situation normal, working for 12, 14 an hour and having no medical insurance? I know many people who graduated who seemed to not really care much about school, cheated on all the tests, who now have good jobs. I know one girl who had all the exams and answers to them on her phone and just cheated on them and never studied who got a internship and job offer at PWC.</p>
