You know what, reading all your post, I am giving up on you. You are just full of negativity and contradictions. A lot of people have asked you specific questions but most of your answers are in general and foggy. You say you started your internship in August this past year but you kept on insisting you did not get an internship. You had an internship offer but you did not accept it because the career center recommended not to. But knowing that was your only offer, you decided not to. You said you have done everything but you did not go to Jumpstart. You never said you got a job of any type this summer but i heard that Washu offers a lot of summer opportunities as long as you apllied early and are qualified.
You think because you go to Washu that it should not be too hard to get a job and you should be working in a large company in NYC. Did the career center tell you this also? You are high on something. Do you really think this situation is only happening to you? News Flash! Thousands of people are in your shoes. But most keep on chugging and persevere after they fall down and hit different obstacles. They wipe the dirt off and continue on. Because that person controls his own destiny. Stop harping on the career center. If they have failed in assisting you, then do not use them. I am sure there is a city employment center in St Louis. You had 6 on campus interviews and none of them panned out. Maybe you have an interview problem because you did not impress them enough.
Well, I wish you success. Get rid of your me against the world attitude. I was not going to post here anymore because of your replies. And this post will probably be ignored by you again. But there is that hope that you would take the advise from the posters. Hope you sent your cover letter and resume to the few posters who offered to read it to get a different perspective. Lastly you may have to start your career in a factory in some third world country setting and move your way up from there. Everyone has to start somewhere. Stay humble.
