JOB OFFER TODAY HOORRAAYYY!!!! 07/15/2009 TIP: Look at other options even though it is not within your degree field.....

Wow!!! What a great day!!!! I got an amazing job offer from a telecommunication company for their retail development management program. I am happy that I am finally getting something that I could learn from. This program will be great for me as I will continue to move around in my career. Even though this position is outside of my degree (food service management), I was willing to look at other options that were available due to the weak economy.

My advice to all graduating college students is to shop around for options even though you may think you may not qualify for the position due to your degree or your experience. A lot of companies are looking for people who have the education are looking to work from the ground up.


I am REALLY excited about this new career and hopefully I can work up from here. I feel that I am given a second chance from my screw ups for the past couple of years and this time I am not making the same mistakes twice.

So..... What does that means for this blog..... Nothing..... I am going to continue to provide tips and I am also going to post a couple of stories from some of the people that submitted their stories about their job search.


So thanks to everyone who read my story and gave me encouraging words. During the rough times your comments made me feel that I am not the only one going through the struggle. Hopefully somebody out there is reading my blog and are feeling the edge off them when it comes to looking for a career. Even though I was one of the many news stories about college graduates not finding a job right out of college, I feel that I worked harder now for a job which normally would have been handed to me. I will also appreciate things more from this experience then I did ever before.......



Thank you and keep on searching........

PS I forgot to mention that I will be doing a blogspot radio about this blog..... I receive a call from a wonderful lady who saw my blog and wanted me to be a guest on a online radio show. I accepted (even though it is no pay) in order to spread the word about my struggles to people who are looking for a job. More details will be coming in a couple of days.....



HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY TO ME
WWWWWOOOOOOTTTTT!!!!
