Graduated, short on prospects

<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. </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.</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?</p>

<p>Maybe you should stop being so negative…</p>

<p>Don’t give up. Also your classmates are great resources, so if you have any friends that graduated a year or two ahead of you they might be able to get your resume to the front of the pile.</p>

<p>Did you do any internships while you were an undergrad?</p>

<p>actuarial exam</p>

<p>Don’t be so negative!!</p>

<p>It will be alright soon.</p>

<p>Have you ever considering working overseas? There are lots of opportunities abroad you know as well. </p>

<p>Try to see things in a “global perspective”. I mean you got good grades so that shouldn’t stop you.</p>
