Don't be afraid to move in order to get a job. Otherwise you limit yourself. Look in different cities, states, etc.
After a couple of years with real experience go back to a similarly paying job where you want to settle down.

Even though its a retail job, i like how i managed to land the gig at my current place of work - i basically got hired during their "hiring freeze" - certain periods of time where our store doesn't hire anyone - because of Iron Maiden. Yeah thats right.
I was bugging them for shit during the summer of 2000 constantly calling and asking about job openings, status of my application, etc - and finally when i was up there in person one day i actually got a hold of the H.R. manager and i think he was so tired of hearing about me that he granted me an interview the next day. So I come back to do it and we sit down and i'm going for a position in this border's music dept, he asks me what was the last cd i bought and i tell him the new iron maiden, well he jumps up and starts raving about that album, turns out he's an Iron Maiden and Pantera fan and we just talk about those bands for the next 10 minutes and eventually he goes "Alright come on to the back room and we'll get you filled out with the proper forms."
It was kind of a truimph for me because I HAD to get a job as soon as possible, having quit my previous one a week before, and as a teenager i always thought that it would have been a cool place to work and always saw the people who worked there as such. I was actually pretty proud of my tenacity I must admit. Of course, the reality of the job is far less glamourous but truth to tell there are moments where I'm grateful to work there.
You'd still need to go for 10,000 times that number of interviews to get anywhere near the odds for Powerball. ;)Quote:
