Sorry Mods,

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, I couldn't find the appropriate forum for this thread but I am DESPERATE. This is an emergency and I am hoping someone here could help me.

I need a job.
I have just completed my master's degree of science in industrial/ organizational psychology. I have a passion for psychometrics and perform very well in front of groups (i.e. training, motivation+ performance management).

The job market in San Diego is not as fruitful as I would have hoped.
I will move ANYWHERE in the continental US to work. Is there anyone out there with some HR connections?
Any help would be appreciated.

Please PM me with any leads. BTW: I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Here's my general resume:

Welcome to the real world. Experience and connections are FAR more important than a education. That's something they don't teach you... Good luck!

Thanks,
I'm on it!

Go to craigslist.com and then go to a particular area and then look up job categories.

Try looking for work at www.indeed.com

It's a great website that searches a lot more search engines than just monster, careerbuilder, etc.

I am unemployed and looking too. I've found a lot of leads on this site that don't show up on others.

Good luck to you. It's a full-time job just trying to find one!

Thanks for all your input. Since I've posted the original thread, I've followed your advice and landed two interviews! Thanks for your help and wish me luck!

Sandie - Good Luck with your interviews. I will say a prayer for you. I have two also next week. Please remember me also!
