4 months isn't bad compared to a lot of people.

My mom was out of work for over a year before she decided to go back to school.

If you've paid attention to the news in the last year or so, none of this should come as a surprise.

same here, graduated over the summer and majored in finance. Deciding if I should keep looking into next year or consider applying to summer classes. Would itbe stupid to go for another degree like in CIS or something?

It's real rough out there at the moment.

Holiday season is usually a good time to pickup a part time job too but it's been real slow

Been outta work since July (moved with no job lined up). Going back to school in the spring.

Yeah this crap sucks. I graduated earlier this year from U of MD and there's NOTHING out there. Have had a few interviews but no dice. It's justinsane.

I would recommend just going hard in your job search any way possible... Like Malcolm said: "By any means necessary." It's tough, but peoplehave to realize that if it's tough for us, relatively young people to get jobs, imagine what it's like for our parents and the older generationswithout jobs. That's got to be tough. I know I've had to tap into so many different resources and put in countless applications to even get a fewcallbacks and of those few, a handful of interviews. Keep on pushing, OP...
