<p>Yeah my daughter got a job today! I am almost as happy as the day of her graduation.</p>
<p>She got a job, in NYC in her field. It took about 6 weeks of solid job hunting. </p>
<p>Good luck to all of the others still looking. Persistence pays off.</p>
<p>It took her only six weeks? That’s nothing! She must be very desirable!! (Business-wise, I mean.) Congratulations!!</p>
<p>Terrific news. Six weeks? that’s fast, even though it does not seem so while hunting. Congratulations!</p>
<p>Congratulations! And, yes, she got the job fast. Even with lots of networking, etc., and in a far better economy, most recent grads whom I know took at least 8 weeks to find employment!</p>
<p>Six weeks? That’s lightning speed! Congrats to your D and you!</p>
<p>Outstanding!!! Best of luck to her…</p>
<p>These threads on finding employment are my very favorite. Congratulations!</p>
<p>That’s great news! Thanks for sharing.</p>
<p>She started to look for a job at the beginning of January. She sent out her resume to a lot of people But was only called in for one interview.</p>
<p>She then decided to move New York and went at the beginning of July. Sublet an apartment that came with CATS.</p>
<p>So 6 weeks might seem fast, but she went out every day and hit the pavement, interviewed for all kinds of things. Some a little sketchy. She called up the president of a company that spoke to her class last semester and asked for an interview. Also applied to numerous job sites. Networked in between and went into staffing agencies. </p>
<p>Thanks for the congrats!!</p>
<p>Congrats! Your D is so lucky, especially in this economy. If you don’t mind me asking, what is her field?</p>
<p>Considering many kids feel that filing on line resumes a couple times a week is what job hunting is all about, your D has showed that the old fashioned “hitting the pavement” brings results.</p>
<p>More good news…it seems two of her friends received job offers today.</p>
<p>So they are all going out tonight. She has been on a cottage cheese diet for a while and might actually eat some real food.</p>
<p>CIA–I should have said that she got a job in the field that she wanted. (She didn’t really have a field, since she has never been employed.) But she was an Econ major and wanted to do marketing.</p>
<p>Wow! That is amazing, good for her. </p>
<p>PS The cottage cheese diet? I remember my pediatrician told me that was unhealthy 25 years ago. Maybe the modern version is different?</p>
<p>Pugma–she is not on “The Cottage Cheese diet.”</p>
<p>She has been eating it for dinner a lot, because it is relatively cheap, she likes it and she doesnt have to cook. It seems that the kitchen in her sublet is not great. The oven doesnt work, and the stove isnt that great. (But the apt has a good/safe location and great price.)</p>
<p>Recession is OVER! 3 college grads get jobs within the same week…</p>
<p>The ‘cottage cheese diet’ has more protein than the ‘ramen noodle diet’ !! ;)</p>
<p>Congrats! In this economy, that is fabulous!</p>
<p>May your daughter give us the next “Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs!” xD</p>
<p>Congratulations, you must be so proud of her! :D</p>
<p>Congrats!</p>
<p>The job market seems to be thawing a bit, I’ve heard a lot more lately of recent grads getting paid internships at name companies (admittedly most of them graduated with master’s degrees in engineering, but still)</p>
