My name is Ceci Garcia and I am a 23 year-old St. Edward's University alumna, class of 2009. I am a Communications major and Spanish minor living in Brownsville, Texas and dying to get back to Austin.
This is Austin. Blame me for wanting to go back?!
It has been about a year since graduating from SEU and I still don't have a job. I have trained to be a student for 20 years and being a part of the workforce is something new. I must admit it has been somewhat of a rough transition from Catholic school to working woman.
So, what am I doing wrong? Is my resume a mess? Maybe my cover letter sounds desperate? It might. I am. Do I bomb the interview? I think some of these jobs should provide feedback after you don't get a job. If you don't know what you are doing wrong, how do you get better? Maybe I am jobless because most jobs require you to have sufficient work experience, because I don't. How you do you get experience if you are being rejected from not having experience? I have had a couple of jobs nothing longer than a couple of months. Most recently, I have been working with my dad as a "secretary". My unofficial company title is "Senior Crossword Puzzle Solver". Yep, I complete a crossword puzzle and a cryptoquip a day and I get paid $7 an hour. Putting my degree to good work? No, not really.
