I find it ironic that I spent the last 6 years of my life waiting for college to be over. I had this great plan in my mind that I would go from a poor starving student to this amazing person with a job and a house and all the things imaginations are made of. Little did I know that we would be graduating in the middle of a crappy recession where it is the worst hiring time in the last 10 years. So now instead of being poor starving students we are just poor starving people. We are currently smack dab in the middle of recruiting season for accounting firms. What happens in normal years is firms from all over the state come to the different universities and recruit students. It used to be no problem to have a job lined up a whole year before you even graduated!! But not this year. Rusty is graduated but still desperately trying to find a job through recruiting. He basically has to go to all of their events and try and win over the people passing out jobs with his sparkling personality along with 300 other people trying to get the same one job. not so cool. Hopefully he's sparkly enough.
But there is a perk, see they have these events where you go to the office and look around and talk to people and they have all of this free stuff. This guy the other night was literally filling my purse up with chocolates, hand sanitizer bottles, post-its, and pens. I guess on the bright side if we don't find a job soon we can sell all our swag on e-bay!
