Thanks for the comment, John. I always rely on the kindness of my readers to keep me on the straight and narrow. Of course I shouldn’t make it seem like all Ivy Leaguers get an easy ride. They don’t.

It’s still about the job market, making the right connections, and sometimes just plain luck. But you are increasing your odds by what you’re doing.

Love your attitude and love your persistence! And don’t be afraid to veer slightly from the vision you have if something unexpected and interesting comes along.

I wish you much luck finding a great job!

It’s funny reading this. I did graduate from an Ivy League University summa cum laude and I’m still looking for the “job of my dreams.”

I’ve started a similar “quest” to the woman mentioned in your story. I apply to at least two jobs per day, I let people know I am looking, I try to get business cards from people I meet, etc.

I’ve now had 3 interviews with one more this week. I know that, eventually, I will find what I am looking for. Persistence pays!
