China’s Ant Tribe: millions of unemployed college grads
Last May, I graduated from college and started looking for a job, but I have yet to find one. For me and many others, commencement has meant a year-long search for work.
I’ve gone on interviews, sent thank-you emails, left voicemails for potential employers, followed up with follow-ups, and called for leads from friends, former teachers at Hunter College, City University of New York and former employers. I’ve extensively researched how to create the perfect resume and cover letter, emailed those extensively researched resumes and cover letters, called different people, left new voicemails, redrafted resumes and cover letters and sent them out again, and scoured the Internet for listings. And so on.
I’m a member of Generation Jobless, or Generation “J†for short. And I’m hardly alone.
The unemployment figure for college graduates is the highest it’s been since 1983. That’s not good news for 3.1 million students ...
