    Yeah, it does look like it's going to get worse. It took me about 3-4 months to find a job. I applied for like 30 jobs and had only gotten 1 call back (their idea of researcher was different than mine and it only paid $18 ph). I was very disheartening and when I was starting to abandon hope, I got two interviews in the same week. Then I had a different problem to deal with because one offered me the job before I had my 2nd interview for the job I wanted more. The one I didn't take was in health care and the other was education. I'm a bit worried about lay-offs in the future, but so far, it doesn't look like it will come to that. If we get furlough-ed, I'll worry more.

    Both made comments about how nice my resume was by the way. It looked nice, was in color, and was printed on heavy (32#) 100% cotton paper. It's an additional expense, but well worth it because your resume is a reflection of you. Even if they've seen your resume already because you applied electronically, you should take a bunch of hard copies to any interviews (take enough for panel interviews).

    Good luck and stay positive!
    Sig, I'm so sorry for replaying so late.

    I think that is great advice. Plus I still have a lot of 100% cotton paper left from my thesis so I can use it for that.
    I applied to a lot of places, and I got, "We have received your resume and feel that you are over qualified for this position...etc., etc."


    But I have to say I have been finally living life again. FINALLY. I just need to feel my old self again. I'm working on it. Being a drama queen and crying endlessly about things I can't and CAN change, doesn't do anything but make me feel more depressed.

    p.s Vegas was so awesome. And I love the beach! I can't wait for San Diego... need to go for the summer. Oh, and lots of museum going. =)

    Eating ice is the best during this heat wave.

    Oh, I know. Its been a pretty hard couple of years now and it just seems to get worse.

    The good news is that I finally got myself to work on my resume. I have two different styles of it. I'm not done yet but I think I'll send it off to a friend in a few days to tell me if it looks right or not. Its really nice putting my accomplishments on paper. I didn't know I did so much in such a short period of time.
