It has been over 50 days since I began this little adventure. I decided that for fun, I would go back through my old entries to see how many jobs/interviews I've had thus far. 125 applications and 19 interviews later, no full time job. This also means that 15% of the jobs I have applied for have interviewed me. Keep in mind that this began after I sent out somewhere between 200-300 resumes, so that percentage is probably lower if we are speaking about an all time record. I wonder if this should say something about how competitive my field is, or about how few jobs there really are out there. I can't thank SPIN enough for the opportunity they have given me and I love working there but unfortunately, a part time internship does not provide the stability and security of a full time job.
I didn't only transfer to New York University in 2007 because it was my dream school, but for their well known career center. I thought it would be much easier to impress potential employers if they saw that well-known university attached to my name. Now, they won't let me use their career service to find any sort of position. This is the first time I feel completely alone in my search. I'm not sure if you can sense my anger or bitterness about this through the internet, but I thought you all should know my personal statistics.
