Hello everyone! So I will be graduating in May 2012 with my BA in psychology and a minor in family studies. I am not really sure what I will end up doing with a job, but I know that I don't want to grad school for a long time, if ever. And I don't care if I do anything related to psychology. I have been looking for jobs in pharmaceutical sales, non-profit organizations, public relations, human resources, clothing buyer, and some journalism stuff. I have been applying for jobs and getting call backs since summer, but I have been kind of scared or being a grown up. But now that January is coming, I am getting excited and know that I need to get real about finding a job... FAST!
My question is how did people who have already graduated find their jobs after college? I look at Monster, Career Builder, and Craigslist frequently, along with my college's career website. One problem I run into a lot on Monster and Career Builder is that there seems to be a lot of scams out there. And most entry-level positions are all sales positions. (Something I am avoiding unless it is pharmaceutical sales). I am wondering 1) how you found your current job, 2) how long find a real job took, and 3) any other advice you have. Sorry for the long post, but I know that fierceboarders extremely helpful and I don't have that many older friends who have experienced this to talk to and get advice from. Any advice or information you could give would be very helpful!
