<p>You might go through this thread - it’s a long one - and perhaps you won’t feel so bad about the tough job environment. It’s nothing personal; it’s just really awful out there. I assume that you follow world markets with your econ background - there are employment and debt problems in many places around the world now.</p>

<p>It sounds like you’ve done the right things but still don’t have what you want but you’re getting interviews. Can you imagine how the grads that didn’t have internships and other work-related experiences are faring? You’re getting interviews - I have read about students that have sent out large numbers of resumes with no responses.</p>
<p>I do like your willingness to learn things on your own that may be useful in getting hired and in providing benefits to your eventual employer.</p>
