It is a very scary time to be graduating and entering the job market. Every time I tell someone that I am graduating in December, I get pity and "oh it's such a bad market." Personally though, I am fairly confident that I will not have too much trouble finding a job.
The article is a very scary one especially since it is pertaining to our major in specific, but I am still confident. My best friend graduated from Valdosta in May with a degree in Public Relations. She had an interview her last week of school and ended up getting the job right away. She is working at the Art Institute of Atlanta in the Admissions Department. Her starting salary is very impressive and I think she has already been given a pay increase because she has done such a great job.
Having close friends who have been successful in the recent job market really gives me hope. I am currently sending my resume out to everyone I know and all of my neighbors and my parents friends as well.
I will probably be moving back to Atlanta come December to broaden my horizons and experience the city! I am looking forward to getting back into a faster paced life, but the downside will be living with the parents for a little while, but hey, what else is there to do in this poor economy? I will take a free place to live and free meals any day! And plus, 80% of graduating college students have recently moved back home due to the poor economy. It will be a big change, but I know it's for the best!
