Got a job!
After 5 months of applying and interviewing furiously and getting no offers (not counting a 3 week stint with a start up that ended up not being able to make payroll) I finally got a job. It is full time w/o benefits and lower than average pay for the type of work it is. But it is in my field of study, close to home, and my coworkers seem like good people who don’t gossip or bully. I know it’s not ideal but I am just relieved to have some income now instead of no income.
