That's the part I hate the most too. Especially when you so often have to send a resume "blind" meaning you don't even know the name of the company you're applying to.

Kel, I feel your pain. Almost 3 months of this bullshit here.

I am at about 3 months myself but I am not even looking for a real job. I have been looking for hourly work with little luck. I have been literally laughed at when applying for labor jobs and interviewers see my recent college degree. I try and tell them I am happy with hourly work, but never get calls back.

I have started leaving the college degree out of my applications and I am not bringing resumes for simple hourly jobs. It sucks and I live in a town of 6 million +

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have been to a couple job interviews that were posted on the internet and there were TONS of people there. I am going to avoid those too, it is really tough out there.

The same thing happens to me. I tell them I'm happy with the job but they're not buying it.

Business Administration Degree of Management, with a 3.3 GPA.

I had a job offer with Walgreen's when I graduated in May but I declined that opportunity to go on the road trip of a life time and go to Alaska. I hope to go back to Alaska in April and stay up there for a bit. My original plan was to travel and work around the world for a bit but based on how tough things are getting I don't know if I will pull it off.

Hey I gots one of those...Turns out it isn't worth, well, not going to say it, besides that was 16 years ago...

Hey, you know I just really took note of this threads title "Day 3 Bored as Sin!" Seems to me that sin isn't boring but being bored for as long as 3 days might lead one to sin. Just an observation...
