Recent graduate what are you doing if no work is available?

[looker001]

I recently graduate with b.s. Finance at worse possible time with absolutely no work being currently available. Planing on taking couple of real estate class at jc in spring to keep my self busy while waiting for economy to recover. What is everyone doing in this recession if you can't find a job?

 

[Onita]

I'm going back to take an English class.

By lying you obiously meant "updating it / making it current."

Me, I might be looking for a job shortly seeing how I think i got written up / will get complained about to my manager and possibly HR.

Sad day

I guess i can't raise a beer to all of us looking for a job in this poor economy.

this is why you can't find a job

 

[DaWhim]

you just have to keep trying to look for a job.

 

[smack Down]

real estate class(es)??? Can you pick a worse job category.

Honestly, I don't believe there is "no work is available." What you mean to say is, "no work is available" that I am willing to do. There are plenty of entry level positions that will higher you; of course, you won't be making much more than 30k a year. But hey, 30k and benefits is somewhere to be WHILE you look for something in your field.

 

[BarneyFife]

There are thousands of people that would take 30k entry level. They are not there.

I know lots of people out of work who would KILL for 30k / yr right now. There are so few positions open that each job receives 3 or 4 x the usual number of applicants.

 

[Slew Foot]

Oh shit I cant get a job in finance. I know Ill get a job in the lucrative field of Real Estate!

Maybe thats why you cant get a job in finance.

Yes.. if you need someone murdered I would do it if you could get me an interview at a 30k/year job.

I had to laugh at this one. No pun intended OP. If you want to start a lucrative job/career at this point in time, get the heck out of the financial sector. Choosing real estate as a backup is absolutely horrible right now as well.

 

[xochi]

Try to get a job at a bank as a teller/new account rep. The pay isnt great but you get exp in your field and if you show yourself to be a good employee will move up, eventually.

Most, if not all highly successful people i know started their careers at the bottom.

How about a vague phone call from a recruiter for a job paying $20k?

 

[Farang]

You'll get a Nancy Kerrigan and nothing more for that price

 

[Zebo]

I opened a liquor store. Wanna job for $8 an hour and pass background check with state.

 

[ChaoZ]

Couldn't get the job I really wanted. Guess I'll just study for the CPA now.
