Finally employed

Just wanted to express my happiness with you guys, as I'm no longer unemployed after 7 months of nothing. Being in school for 3 of them was okay, but it really put a damper on any kind of big plans for the summer and travelling.

Having lots of qualifications within my industry and great grades within college didn't appear to help for the career I want, but sometimes you have to take a step back in order to go forward. Hopefully this will allow me to take the next step. I know it's only retail, but it's pretty decent money, and hopefully will allow me to have some fun here and there.

For those who aren't getting a whole lot of responses in their job searches or careers, don't be afraid to broaden your search. At the very least you'll meet new people and gain more experiences. Keep on pushing forward.

Congrats! You should celebrate...

See a good movie. Dine at a nice restaurant. Go to a massage parlor. Enjoy! :)

Thanks. Went out to see the new mission impossible movie, and then watched some football (GO PACK GO!) this weekend. I'll treat myself a bit more for my GPA and getting through this adventure in a couple months, but I have to say... Feels awesome.
