Why so many grads 'fail to launch'

At 24, Lorena Bravo would appear to be a card-carrying member of the so-called boomerang generation.

Despite being bright, articulate and well-educated (she has a bachelor's degree in psychology and a master's in teaching), Bravo couldn't find full-time work after she graduated. So she recently moved back home with her parents in a Los Angeles suburb.

But if you're thinking Bravo fits the model of "Failure to Launch" -- the new movie starring a Porsche-driving Matthew McConaughey, who loves living with his parents so much he won't leave -- you'd be wrong. She doesn't love living at home; she just doesn't see another option....

Chris,
get out there and sell yourself to every potential employer and hopefully one of them will give you a chance. If you show drive and enthusiasm it is bound to impress an employer.

Actually, if you do have the get up and go, keep sending out your info.

Every week.

To the same people.

And constantly add to the list.

While yer waiting, learn something.


Works every time. ;)


(Heck, if it got someone I know a job who is over 40, never worked a day before and she had zero work skills, then it must be woirth trying, don't it?)
