I'm new to this forum and figure this might be a good place to start.
Got my Master's in Public Administration in June 2012, having been looking for work since. I haven't done a recent exact count, but I've applied to about 900 jobs, had 80 interviews and maybe a dozen part-time temporary positions. (Had a job for 9 months until November as a social worker, but that was pretty messed up in too many ways, only lasted 9 months but that was about average for the agency).
I kept a blog/journal of my travails but never found a forum for it, maybe I'll post it here.
The worst part (?) is that I'm generally a happy guy with a positive outlook, but recounting my job hunt ordeal is incredibly depressing!
So, yeah, hi. How y'all doing?
