It was a long shitty road but now things are looking up. I got a job with room to grow in my field of study, i can't ask for much more. Enjoy this GIF of a successful otter.

Congrats. You know. For all the jobs that are out there, it's amazing to me how long it takes to get one. It took my SO six to nine months.

I think you OTTER celebrate!... :-D
EminentLine

I just graduated a little over a month ago, are you telling me I have to wait 9 more?
Duendes
Lucky, I had 5 rounds of "interviews" for a position which I didn't get bc a guy who I would never talk to didn't like my "personality"
Bluegrasslass

Beansidhe

Does this reeeeeeeaally sound like the best idea right now?
CwmMakesPeopleCryInScrabble
Sometimes it can be - if it's a better job market and a lower cost of living when combining households.

Future so bright, you gotta wear shades?

My wife used to cheer me up saying that the more time looking, the more chances the guys better than me had already found a job.
bluesun68
So how many guys did she interview before you came along
themakerofkilts
She is a keeper.
DrunkDru
You hold onto her sir!
SeriouslyAwkward
Ionno every 5 months they'll have new graduates replacing those that were better than you right?
peketu

You get a job after only 10 months. I was jobless for two years, @greenlanternshark!
EmBoT5000

TANEY500
Don't stop. I was jobless for about 15 months, but am in a way better situation now
greenlanternshark
Keep at it. It is draining though
azazyel
I just got turned down for a job today that I really thought I was qualified for. But good for you man, hope my search isn't that long
mysteriousasthedarksideofthemooooon
I'm in the same boat :/ hoping something comes through soon! Just keep swimming! Good luck @azazyel
greenlanternshark
I was getting turned down for jobs that I clearly over qualified for, it hurts but keep moving forward.
paulpounder
I interviewed 3 times and thought for sure I was in but it didn't happen then out of the blue the perfect job popped up been their 3 years
greghaki
Congrats! I've been there, 8 1/2 months of daily applying to multiple jobs, maybe getting an interview a week! I cried a lot and pulled thru
greghaki
She'll never read this but my gf at the time helped me more than she knows, every day with cover letters and resume edits.
UnityIron
What's the job though?
greenlanternshark

OneFuckedPony
That's awesome. Congrats!
DPunicorn

themuttonisniceandlean

TheyreGoodDogsBront
Sounds rewarding
RMaybeth
well there's a big future in that. I had a degree in business but wound up working fleet for a large west coast city. And these envir- 2/
RMaybeth
onmental laws ran out every single business in the state (caliornia) to the point where the state govt was trying to fine my city $100g.
RMaybeth
over some thing that was essentially bullshit. An inspector had left a sensor not put back in its hanger. They're parasites
emkev
I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit/idiotic blathering. California is the 6th largest economy in the world.
Therealpaulwatson
nice I did that for a few years. Good pay if you can get into contract work
greenlanternshark
This is full time gig, so I'm pretty happy
Therealpaulwatson
pipeline?
greenlanternshark
Nope working for a state agency. Now once oil comes back working pipeline could be nice
Biteymcbiteface
Congrats OP! Good job! What kind of gig is it?
greenlanternshark
Environmental science specifically checking to compliance with EPA and state laws
Biteymcbiteface
...Well that's cool as fuck! You should do a workstories post!
greenlanternshark
Thanks! I'm glad someone else thinks it's interesting work
