Graduated College in May 07...cant find a job...want to get into consulting...or any other job..need help!!!!?

I graduated from Penn State University in May 2007 and could not find a job. I finally decided to get a "time pass" job in retail in October 2007 and have been working there ever since. I am VERY frustrated with how difficult the job hunt has been for me. My major in college was microbiology and my gpa was 3.4. I am currently looking for any kind of job,even if its not in my field, that is at the college graduate level...i need to start my REAL career. I dont have any internship experience, which I feel is holding me back. I am considering a job in consulting right now and would like to know the best way to get into it. Are there certain companies that hire recent college grads w/ little experience? I have tried all job search sites, college career office (they aren't very helpful in getting you a job), temp agencies, gone on about 10 interviews, and am losing hope in finding a job. What should I do? Is consulting difficult to get into?

  1. I think u should shave ur head off
  2. i'm having the same problem but have a b.a. in mass comm and minor in soc. ...i can't even get a retail job now because they want to know why i'm applying there with a degree and won't hire me ....i could only get a job before i got a degree it looks like.... and now it's a recession and many people are laid off and looking for work also... plus many more people have degrees now since our parents push more for it now... maybe if you have a talent or craft you can do something with that...?
