That's right, applications now total over 200. Phone interviews have gone up slightly, and on-site interviews haven't exactly changed. I have one internship offer -- the one I'm working at right now. Zero official job offers.
The other day I read those e-mails that I received back from my professors. One of my professors, a former adviser, said he was shocked that I hadn't found a job yet. I'm shocked, too, don't worry Prof. He said that if someone as bright as me can't find a job, it's pretty worrisome for the entire economy.
What he doesn't realize is that I'm really weird and awkward. I don't know all the answers and I can't BS my way through anything. That's probably why I can't find a job. It's all about finding the right fit, at least that's what I learned yesterday when I became the HR department at my work.

ReplyDeleteWoops, made a mistake there.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I just stumbled upon this blog as I was distracting myself from Japanese and thinking to myself, "I wonder what Tracy is up to?" As a senior, discovering the existence of this blog is scaring the hell out of me since I think we have (kinda) similar qualifications.
Where do you live now, buddy? I would love to catch up with you sometime and get a glimpse of what post-grad life is like.
