Hate to see Richmond go after they gave us the closest game in last years playoffs. You guys were a good team. Hate to see you all go Icky. Enjoy graduating, I graduated 3 years ago so it's pretty fresh in my mind. Good luck with the job hunt. I hope you have better luck starting out than I did. I like where I'm at now, but it took some work to get here.


That was some championship game... Thanks for the well wishes. I know with the economy its going to be a tough deal to find something good out there but I'm going to work hard and hope for the best!

Whenever I talk to people at work about what I'm going to school for, they're always like "WELL YOU'LL HAVE NO PROBLEM GETTING A JOB LOL".

Although going to school for at least 6 years is pretty lame.

When I started, my field was one of the fastest growing. By the time I graduated, it was hard to find a job.

Weird stuff. What is/was your field, if I may ask?

Information Technology. I guess I should reword that to "it was hard to find an entry level job". Everyone wanted you to have experience, but how can you get experience without getting a job first? I got lucky and got a job working with my old boss from college who was doing some contract work.

I live in Silicon Valley - though I'm no techie at all. But I know all sorts of techies and no one is hiring at all. Its either layoffs or freezes. Another thing, I know recruiters from HP, CIsco, and Google and they all say the same thing: for every qualified applicant they get from America they get at least 100 qualified applicants from abroad. Its tough to compete in a world market like that.

Yeah, that seems to be the case with everything - even for someone like me who just holds down some pedantic part-time job while I'm in school. Like, my first job interview was for working at a Blockbuster, and basically I didn't get the job because I didn't know how to work a register, and apparently no one had the time to teach me (hahahahaha).

I ended up getting a job at Wal-Mart as a cashier, so that's what I do now. Christ, it is the worst. I don't know how anyone manages to work there full-time.
