| laprgrl | Posted – 7/22/2008 11:24:10 AM | show profile So I don't know if I'm writing this to vent or get advice but here I am (again) writing on this board.. 23 with still no job and been a year and a half out of school. I got to NY 2 weeks ago and my short term stay is up at the end of August. I figured while I was here I needed to send out my resume to top markets. (just for shits and giggles not expecting anyone would contact me) So... I did.. and I get a call from a top PR agency in Dallas this morning telling me she needs some last minute help and is willing to pay me. Of coarse this would happen to me.. I look and look and when something of a minute chance comes up I can't do it. This is the only reply I've gotten since I left LA 4 months ago. At this point I am willing to take a job ANYWHERE!! so that is why I sent out my resume all over because if there were an interview I could fly for the day and do the interview. But I also know part time help can lead to a full time job or getting new contacts. Would someone like to give me some guidance?? lol |

There are definitely happening parts of town full of young professionals. there is nightlife, shopping. you could do a lot worse than dallas. Check out the Dallas Observer or its blog "Unfair Park" or D Magazine's "Front Burner" Dallas is a very easy town to crack for newcomers. Good Luck |
