Never having blogged for personal use (I’ve done it at work), I decided now was the time to start. The title of the blog stems from various backgrounds: The Graduate – obviously. A personal favorite movie of mine. As I embark upon college graduation myself, I thought it appropriate to title my blog after the movie. As I search for post-graduation careers, however, I found it necessary to include the word “hopeless” because, frankly, that’s how I feel.
I’d like to say that with Day 1 of this blog, it is also Day 1 of my job search but alas, that is not the case. Rather, it’s about day 90. Ish. And even after countless emails, phone conversations and face-to-face meetings, I have stooped to a new level: I’ve sent out babysitting flyers.
And the ironic thing is this: I will graduate as a major in public relations in one of the top journalism schools in the country, a minor in business in one of the top business schools in the country, and will have numerous internships under my belt. So what’s the problem??? I have taken every possible step to find a decent job that I am qualified for.
Hopefully this blog will allow me to let off a little steam about the search but for now, I must head off to my unpaid internship.
