My significant other just got his first full-time job out of college and I am soooo excited. It only took about… 4 months? Man these economic times are dismal but all I can say is that I am so thankful for my job, and now, my boyfriend’s job. Best of luck to those of you who are still out there struggling with part time work, temp work, bosses who think they can jerk you around or not pay you, and scouring Craigslist every evening of your life. We hear you.
If there’s one bit of advice I can pass your way: get a recruiter in your corner that loves you. I got my job through CM Access (I actually interviewed for two jobs at the same time in November of 2007) and my boyfriend has now landed his job only because a recruiter hounded him to go to the interview. What have we learned? Recruiters land you solid jobs.
