The Job Hunt

With only two months to go in my last semester of college I'm beginning to get a little worried about my job prospects for after graduation. I've had a handful of interviews and even got invited to two second round interviews in Milwaukee and Chicago. Problem is I've already been rejected by the firm in Milwaukee and I'm stuck playing the waiting game with the Chicago office. I can console myself in the thought that I really didn't want to work in Milwaukee anyway, but it would have still been nice to at least get an offer.

I guess I should count myself lucky as I still have my part-time job I can get bumped back to full-time while I'm looking for a real world job. Unfortunately, I hate where I work now and was counting down the days to where I could quit and be reasonably secure in at least my near future.

If all else fails I'm planning on making a sizable capital contribution to my investment partnership and concentrating on that while working the pharmacy gig part time. I've done a decent job this year on my own, but having those efforts work toward the success of the partnership I helped form would look even better on a resume than personal portfolio success.

The job market is not looking so good for my friends either. Most are in the same situation I am in trying to make part-time work flesh out to fill a full-time schedule after graduation.

If anyone knows of mid to large size accounting firms hiring corporate tax accountants let me know.
