Subject: RE: BS: Job search woes
History major in Houston? IMHO I suggst you examine what you like to do and then see how that could fit into a career (not a "job"). Then with polished resume in hand, off you go to all available businesses that are congruent with what you like. The Internet could be helpful.

Expect to be treated as "brand new" and that's ok. Your resume should list your academic achievements, including constructive extra-curricular activities and any other part-time or summer jobs you've had. Again, these should all, if possible somehow relate to what you WANT to do.

Additionally, I would imagine your college would have a good career planning and placement office.

Let me know how this goes.
