		<description>i'm in northern california and it seems that the only jobs available here for me (BA, Three years experience after graduation, plus a heap of real-world job experience during school) are those that are strictly commission. I've done the same thing you've described... "resume blasting" and my folks have suggested I get out and "pound the pavement" or "start knocking on doors"... but I don't think they get it. You can't just start walking into business parks and high rises saying "DUHR! ME wants jobzes!" and giving your resume to every shiteater sitting at the front desk of an office.  If you try that, they simply direct you to whichever career website it is that they use and if you're lucky they'll humor you because you tied your tie right and ask you for a copy of your application.

I'd guess that I've applied to 200-250 positions at this point and it's only been 1 month. I've had the same experiences of getting dicked around and asked to come back day after day... not that it costs me any money to drive my car across the city so you can test my resolve.

I have a car... but this pisses me off... employers have the fucking gall to demand that you as a potential employee do NOT use public transportation... WHAT THE HELL??? They actually put in ads "must have reliable vehicle, no public transportation." and the job description is for a customer service representative (translation: phone bank).

The real shitbox though...  is that if you check government jobs... they pay really well for having only one requirement: a pulse.

I found one job that pays nearly 50k for an "administrative assistant" position that literally requires "general clerical" and a high school diploma... right next to the ad in the classified section... a job requiring 3 years experience and a BA and it pays 13/hr (read: about 25 grand)...

Things are fucked up right now, and there are plenty of us out there right now with retinas burned from staring at careerbuilder, monster, craigslist and indeed.com... with our hands stained from crossing off jobs for welders and truck drivers in the paper, and with our hearts slowly breaking as we realize that going to school was just as worthless as any other training we could have gotten... only moreso because it gives us a sense of entitlement when all we're really entitled to is framing our degree and hanging on the walls of whatever cubicle we land in when that temp agency finally calls back with an offer for 12/hr</description>

		<description>i've been reading your site for a few years now man, and i have to tell you i know what you're going through. the job market in south da-fucking-kota isn't much better unless you excel at minimum wage jobs. i've been looking for some kind of work now for almost 5 months and have had the shittiest luck. i won't try and tell you to "keep your chin up" because thats the best way to get punched in it.
good luck man.</description>
