My first diary in a year and a half. I graduated from my university in December, 2008, with a bachelors degree. I tried to find work for a year and a half in Ohio, and got called up for one interview, for a job I was well qualified to do but paid barely over minimum wage. I didn't get any call backs about the job, and subsequent calls to ask about the status never got returned.
Even when I applied for minimum wage jobs that anyone could do, I would find out that any position that was open would get hundreds of applicants applying.
Staying with a family member until I found work, the lease was running out and I had to do something or be homeless.
