Here's a few possibilities, P-C: [link] Also, I have a friend who works for teh EPA in AA, I'll ask him if he knows of any projects they have going that need a writer/editor.

Thanks!

Plus, every job wants years of experience. I CAN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE IF I CAN'T GET A JOB.

I feel you.

I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse, but everyone I've kept in touch with from my MBA program is in exactly the same boat.

If Henry's company goes under, we're gonna look for a tropical resort that needs a network administrator/financial management team. It's a nice dream.

If anyone sees a spine lying around, it belongs to my boss. Please return it so I can shove it up her butt. Thanks!

With ridges for her pleasure.

She is being a timid librarian. Drives me bugfuck.

Gah. This doesn't bode well for my future at all. I mean, now I feel that whatever crap job I get now, I should stick with it for two or three years just to count it as "experience" before I jump into what I actually want to do, but I don't want to be stuck here for that long. I suppose if I get something remote, I can move next year when my lease runs out anyway, but I wouldn't know where without job prospects lined up. GAH.

P-C, keep in mind these are people looking for jobs in New Orleans, which has had a sucky job market for decades, and none of them are in your field. There was a story on NPR recently abot how this year's crop of MBAs were getting great offers, even though its not happening here.

Librarians should not be timid.

Librarians should be like Rachel Weisz, all fighting mummies and shit.

{{{Lyra}}} But yay for good interviews!

Also, I set up an interview for next week, and I'm trying to decide if the fact I'm pretty sure I'd hate the job is enough reason to cancel the interview, or if I should just suck it up, be a grown-up and go in.

I wouldn't cancel unless you've accepted another offer by that time. If you're offered the job and still think you'd hate it, that's the time to say no. I mean, you never know. You might meet someone who'll be in a position to help you in the future, and I think it's more professional to follow through on the process unless you learn something between applying and interviewing that really turns you off about them.

Congratulations, Cashmere!

She had REALLY BAD hair, though.
