You stay there while looking for something else cause a job is a job.

- Lose the job and only source of income
- Spend 9 months unemployed, sitting in your basement and sending out networking emails with no job leads at all
- Wonder how to pay bills when savings + unemployment benefits run out
That's what I did

I have a Skype interview later on today for an USDA position in Seattle. Had a quick phone screening on Thursday to setup everything for today.
I would need to see how flexible the salary is and if relocation assistance is available. Redguardless this would be a good move in my career.

honestly what's the average time for new grads to have to go through unemployed? I just graduated and I'm officially on my third month searching for a job. I haven't been this antsy for so long 
I've spent the last four years of my life hitting the ground running and this feeling of waking up everyday and looking for a job is taking its toll man

I have a skyp interview for an internship Monday. Before the interview was set up they asked if I was open to taking the semester off for the internship. This is my senior year and an internship is required for us to enroll for our senior thesis course which are two classes but I still have another 4 classes to get out the way. I'm kinda in a sticky situation because I'm currently enrolled in12 units this semester and our last day to drop courses is Tuesday, however my interview is Monday. What should I expect from a Skype interview? I never used Skype before. And should I tell them about my school's drop course date?

when i graduated (from undergrad) I planned for 90 days of unemployment....post the recession and a still tepid labor market I probably would expect a 120-day unemployment span. to put it into perspective I went to grad school during the recession and finished in 2012 and on average my classmates all with solid resumes spent on average 6-months looking for work post program. I know the inactivity after having a very structured and outwardly productive 4 years can drive you crazy but its actually a good time to start looking and working (through an internship) at some of things/skills you will need for when you finely land that gig to be successful (and get the promotion needed to payback Uncle Sam).honestly what's the average time for new grads to have to go through unemployed?

slighted
I guess where I suffer most is the length of my time commitments to all of my internships. My longest work experience was almost 3 years working retail to pay off school
But I did a bit of everything including:
Working in business development for our school's re-opening of its art museum
Congressional Intern
Moved to DC for a semester to work in diversity for a medical school
Creative strategist for a new POC magazine overseeing 3 issues
SAT Prep teacher for Oakland unified
Became co-director for that same sat prep org, overseeing the recruitment and development of our student teachers as well as partnerships with more established non-profits
The networking came along with all of this of course and my network has provided me with great opportunities post-grad in the form of interview and stuff but im getting beat out by people with more experience (im 22). I earned a degree in ethnic studies and right now I'm trying to steer my career to landing a diversity job in tech. so going from all of that to just waking up and applying has been a whirl forsure

Strengths- i enjoy helping people
But this is from a retail point of view.

Depends on how long the list is for that particular test. I'm assuming that may have been a very popular test or the person didn't score that high and they are just now coming around to his number. A few possibilities can come into play as far as the timing is concerned.

I had an interview 2 Fridays ago after applying to a job on indeed. They took down the job posting after i applied
Its in my field and it's only 20 mins away. They sent me an email after the interview and it had a postcard in there that i had to redesign (it's for a graphic designer job)
Sent it about 4 days later but my interviewer was on vacation until today. Just hope she sees it and calls me back in Soon for the 2nd interview. She already said she likes my style of design
This job would be perfect for the kid
