hi,
i am going through the exciting process that is job-searching, but here
is
my prob:
i just graduated with a BA in english and worked last summer at a
software
company doing some tech writing and online help (robohelp) but that is
really only 4 months experience.
i have combed the job search websites and sent off resumes and applied
to
recruiting places and i consistently get the response that they "are
looking for someone with more experience. specifically, 3-5 years more
experience." <insert appropriate frustrated shreik>
so, any suggestions on how to get said experience, or alternatively, are
there any companies out there who will take a chance on fresh new talent
<g>? any general suggestions on how to go about the fun and excitement
that is looking for a job?
about to throw my hands up in despair and return to the restaurants
which
house so many humanities grads...
