Friend MeI graduate super soon. Like, less than a month soon.
It’s a little terrifying, to say the least. I’ve been so busy with school and work that I’ve barely had any time at all to blog. Seeing as I very well may be unemployed (other than finishing out my last quarter as a student employee at OSU), I may have more time pretty soon.
Yeah. No one seems to want to hire me. I’ve sent out probably close to 70 applications. I’ve had two interviews, and two rejections. This last one really upset me, because I knew I was perfect for the job and I tried SO HARD to communicate that to them. Apparently they only offered 3 people (including me) and interview, and they decided to go with someone else. Part of me wonders if it’s because I graduate late and I don’t have a definite moving date – though I told them I could start the Tuesday after graduation, if I needed to.
It’s just so frustrating. Especially since all that I really, TRULY want to do is to go to grad school and be a “real” medievalist and teach and research and write. That’s why I thought that this last position would be great – I’d be working in an academic library, and they really encourage their employees to go back to school and stuff.
Someone has to hire me, right?
I guess there’s always retail?

Maybe once you're settled in after graduation someone will hire you? I wouldn't wish retail on anyone. But I'm afraid that I'll be in this boat with you come September. Good luck

Aw Jenny I'm so sorry. Its their loss because you really were perfect for that job. But hey, if that job has a high turn over rate maybe you can re-apply for it in a few months?

I'm so sorry to read about this, all the more considering that you were really vying for this particular position. I know it seems a bit cliché to remain optimistic in this time, but I'd like to believe there's something better out there and the world conspires in such a way to lead us to what is really meant for us.

Sorry to hear that
Don't give up though, I've always believed that good things will come to those who work hard enough for them. Good luck!
