Day 1

Hello Everyone! My name is Abby Wood, I'm a recent college graduate from High Point University, living at home in Roswell, Georgia looking for a full-time job like a lot of you out there. First off, let me just say that I am new to researching and writing something like this - finding a job. However, in my recent experiences, I've come to believe that once you get a flow of interviews, people to talk to, writing up resumes and cover letters, and just a general knowledge of how you should go about finding a job, I think it becomes pretty easy after awhile. Secondly, I'm not in any way pretending to be an expert on this, or a higher power, or whatever you might call it, I'm just simply investigating and writing about the things I've done and what others have done to find a job. A job that pays well anyway.

Just so everyone knows, I do have a background in Journalism, that's what I majored in college, and it really is my thing to do: be a journalist. So what I'm deciding to take on is an extensive collaboration of college graduates and their stories about finding a job after college. For those of you who had a job, and then were laid off, I would welcome an opportunity to hear your story as well, however my primary focus is college graduates.

So here I go with this big responsibility, not sure how long its going to go for, but please feel free to contact me through email to share your story! This is slalombabe@gmail.com signing off.
