So its been a while. And my situation has not changed. Unemplyed, grad student, fresh out of one of thebest schools in the country. Or so I like to think. Its not jsut me, U.S. Rankings too says were are the second best ad school, but those darned employers…. nevermind, I digress.
I did not blog for a while, because my mental road block would keep screaming in my head, “get a job, getajob, GETAJOB, GETAJOBGETAJOB” too a wild african jungle beat, everytime I tried to write more than 144 characters. Which is why I tweeted some. Not a lot, but some.
Now I apply to roughly, on an average, three places a day. I get one reply every four months (I have been applying since the last 2 weeks, for statistics sake) and every one of those replies is a reject, or a “Sorry, we really like your qualifications, but are on a hiring freeze”. I wonder if there’s anything that can break this wall of ice for me. Anything at all?
My EAD card arrived yesterday. Which means I have precisely 3 months now to find a job, or else, quite simply put, eff off from this country. Not that I mind that, but really? what are my chances of getting a job in developing country if I can’t get one in a developed country. Le sigh.
