Based on your experience…I call bullshit
That was the subject line to e-mail Cristen sent me with a link to a Washington Bizjournal article: Easy to find work in D.C. area
“D.C. is the easiest metro area in the U.S. to find a job, according to jobs search engine Indeed.com.”
So many people posted it to Facebook followed by “yeah right” etc. etc. Agreed. Indeed.com covers all sorts of jobs, so I’m assuming it’s not the entry-level professional jobs we’re all apply for. But then again, there are a lot of non profits in D.C. and I think I read back in June that non profits are still hiring.
Things are looking up for my own job search, or at the very least, my personal network. I’ve got informational meetings with journalism and communications professionals in Philadelphia, thanks to the extremely nice man I met Friday who is incredibly kindly helping me out. He didn’t lie about reaching out to his friends and circulating my resume. It’s something I hope I can do for someone else one day.
Heading to D.C. tomorrow until Sunday then most-likely South Carolina with my family for a week — unless something comes up and I end up staying in town. As much as I moan about it sometimes, I really do enjoy the flexibility I have right now.
