Unfortunately that is very common, you usually have to take a low paying job in your field to get your foot in the door. Perhaps if you are able maybe you can volunteer/intern somewhere while you are in school.

Try using the placement office in your school, they usually have alot of contacts that hire recent/soon to be graduates. That is a great resource.

The key is to never give up, keep looking everywhere and anywhere you can think of. Never know where a job will pop up.

I Know Exactly what you're going through,because I've been job-hunting sinse August,2005,and I still haven't gotten even any temp. work!I did get some job training in January at Employment Connection[2838 Market]which is helping.Take care!

Megaroo,

Like deeno said, volunteer while you are looking for work. This will get you some experience and the companies can see that you are not just sitting back and waiting for the phone to ring. Look in the phone book for various agencies (non-profits love volunteers) and find one that matches your interests.

I see, you are working, just not in your chosen field. Then, keep the work up while you finish school and don't give up sending out resumes. You'll eventually get the job that you want.

You may wish to visit the employment center to see if your resume has "the look" that employers appreciate. At times, if there is even a small error the resume gets put in the "out" pile, which can be deadly.

Lastly, you may wish to visit your school's employment counselor, they may have tips and/or leads for you.

Good Luck.
