Jobless in Tampa Bay

As 4.6 million Americans will tell you, job-hunting is definitely one of the most frustrating things on the planet. Especially when you’re hunting in a bad economy.

I’ve been looking for work for about six months now, but I hit desperation about two weeks ago when I moved to Tampa. Since then I’ve sent about 50 “feeler” emails, applied for 10 positions, gone on seven “informational interviews” and borderline stalked two HR reps. Oh, I also applied for about 20 part-time gigs at the mall.

This week I’ll post some of my observations from the hunt.
