Maybe you are one of those who got off campus without fully leveraging the career center, career advisors or connecting to all your professors on LinkedIn. It's ok, you'll just need to create a different process than you would have on campus.
Recently a grad came to me and was all jazzed about getting into the job search game now that he was out of university. He was all over job boards, and sending out letters on a pretty random basis, and using one basic resume for all his job searches. There didn't seem to be a lot of direction, focus or forethought to his process. I thought, wow, if all grads are doing it this way, small wonder there's an unemployment problem!
And, if you are working that way, it's no wonder you might feel frustrated, hopeless and thinking about plan B.
