Well... success!! I have finally landed my very first desk job. It is only a summer student job, but I couldn't be happier or more excited for it to begin. This will be the first time I'll have a real "desk job"! I guess this is evidence that you should never give up applying to positions even when it feels absolutely hopeless. It took me four years to get to this point and along the way, I must admit, I became extremely pessimistic and depressed over my future (or presumed lack thereof). But I always understood that I would eventually get a job. It was never completely hopeless and no one should ever think that their future is either. In my own experience, I applied to so many positions and organizations this summer and summers past through things like internet job banks and government sites and I might have received a few interviews as a result, but never was I offered any positions. And this was a tiring and de-motivational experience, as it would be for anyone but when you know you need a job you don't give up. You can get frustrated that people don't realize your genius and how amazing you would have been as an employee, but in a blink you should be looking and applying elsewhere, because after all there's no use in crying over spilled milk.
