LOLOL I know! jenn was just talking to me about preach stuff for us, and I was like "Omg as long as its not expensive, because me and literally my closest 4 of 5 clubbing friends are unemployed right now!!"
Isnt it ironic that we are very educated ladies with no jobs?? The workforce is losing out without us!!
FAK I AM SOOO POOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! and its only been a week and a half since graduation!!
LOL AND I have to pay $1000ish in fees for my lisence exam and lisence just to practice, but HOW THE FAK can I pay for that when I dont have a job and my rent just got JACKED $300 a month!!

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.

I have tons of friends that did really well in school, finished up college and STILL can't get a decent job. It's all about who you know these days, or getting a lucky break.

you are def right. kellybelly is one of those girls, she knows everyone and its literally the reason she got someone to sponsor her citizenship and get her a job!!
Thankfully I am doing well on my job search because I think I am really good at what I do......I have been offered jobs, now the only factor is PICKING one. I feel its better to have too many choices than none I hope I dont push my luck!

networking is key, but just as important is the interview skills
I can't stress how important that really is

ALl i have to say is, its all bout WHO YOU KNOW, YOUR SKILLS (they do not have to be on a paper) and your people skills.
I got my current job through a friend and i love it.

What you want for yourself is most important so don't let the employers pressure you into anything, but also be careful and think everything through. If you are not ready to decide immediately it would be nice if they gave you a day or two to evaluate...depends on the company. For most that is just too much to ask for since everyone wants everything like now or yesterday :P

My interview skills are on point...I have never had a problem finding a decent job and I never even went to college. Sometimes situations are just ass backwards for people. To make up for not having a good education I do have loads of work experience because I was working full time from the age of 16 and I never had to work in fast food or retail.
