Did anyone happen to see this story in the New York Times a week ago? It's a long, detailed piece about a set of twins who are living in NYC and -- surprise, surprise -- having a helluva time finding jobs.
They're not dumb girls. They have journalism degrees, went to Rutgers. They work their social and professional networks and try to make their applications memorable. They spend all hours of the day and night searching for jobs.
But they graduated 17 months ago, have applied for 150 jobs and have had, you guessed it, zero interviews. One twin works as a bartender a few nights a week, the other picks up random work, like filling in for a dog-walker. It sounds pretty rough -- and typical.
What did y'all think about the profile? Seem pretty accurate to those of you job-hunters? What else do you try when you think you've tried everything?
