just graduated/ unemployed

<p>BS from an ivy league,
engineering
internship at samsung
3.0 gpa</p>

<p>i applied to buncha positions, and just heard back from the very last interviewer that they won't be hiring me...</p>

<p>broke up w/ my gf 3 days ago...</p>

<p>f___... wat do i do now?</p>

<p>contact your former boss at samsung?</p>

<p>well, i can't work at samsung because it's in korea (original headquarter) and i don't/can't work in korea...</p>

<p>Maybe your boss in Korea can put in a good word for you for somebody at Samsung USA? Time to milk those connections.</p>

<p>you'll be fine...Man up</p>

<p>the market its tough this year....b/c of the liquidity crunch/sub-prime woes alot of people are having a tough time finding a job...i would suggest you contact a head hunter...to get your resume out there...maybe temp work in the mean time?....remember the longer you wait/takes after graduation to get a job the less valuable (to employers) you/your degree becomes</p>

<p>Enroll at a community college and get a medical technician's certificate; or go back to school for nursing degree.</p>

<p>Which Ivy was it?</p>

<p>maybe your salary expectation is too high?</p>

<p>Do you still have access to the career center at your college? They should be helping you.</p>

<p>viewpoint / sorry. i do not wish to reveal it just in case potential employers might be reading this (no matter how slim that chance is)</p>

<p>john5170 / when they asked me for salary, i said "around average and i would be happy" (engineering avg is around 55,000...possibly higher)</p>

<p>i do still have access to the career center...i really should visit them</p>

<p>You ought to tell 'em so others won't have same predicament. I'm sure you aren't the only unemployed engineer from your school.</p>

<p>definitely...maybe have someone look over your resume, and see if there is any interview help.</p>

<p>Yes, stay with the career center until you find something. Sit down with the people there if possible and discuss options. I assume by buncha you mean at least 20?</p>

<p>I heard what I consider to be a horror story from a fellow that spoke at my kid's school, BSEE from an Ivy beginning with D, wanted to get a job in the midwest, finally moved to his parent's house and six months later got a job. Companies here wouldn't pay for him to travel out for an interview. EGads, if he'd gone to a big midwestern state school I can't help but think that he'd have had much less trouble getting a job.</p>
