I am getting extremely pissed. I have been done with school since the end of July and cannot get a damn job. I have applied for hundreds of jobs over the Interent, posted my resume on every job and placement site imaginable, and have had around 10 interviews through my college (Western Illinois University). I have a degree in MIS with a computer science minor. I didn't have any internships while in school because I was taking 4 or 5 classes each summer. It's not like I am some fuck up that did shity in school, my overall GPA is 3.3 and my major GPA is 3.83. I would like to get into networks or database, but 99% of the jobs I find want people with experience. WTF? I know I can be an asset to a company if they would just give me a chance. Plus I can't go on another cycle until I get a job, since I don't have insurance. I will relocate to just about anyplace at this point. It really pisses me of to see guys that know less then me and have worse grades then I do getting jobs just because they know someone in a company. Any of you guys have any connections that would help me out in landing that nearly impossible first job?

Sounds like you have shitty interviewing skills, or a crappy resume.

email me your resume.
would you be interested in technical support?
It would be a good foot in the door/resume entry and this area is booming with all of the bigger computing companies.
Do you have any OS's under your belt??
Pay is good, and I would be happy to give you all the good and bad insites.

There is no measure to the benefits of patience and humility ... damn my patience is running thin.

I am stumped. Email me your resume also if you like. I know one or two (ha ha) people who may be of assistance.

Thanks for the help bros. I sent a resume to everyone who asked, so if you didn't get one let me know. If anyone has any suggestions on improving my resume, or if anyone else would like me to send them a copy just let me know. Thanks again.
