I’ve tried indeed, craigslist, and staffing agencies, but have not gotten much success. I’m still trying to be persistent but I am trying to think outside the box too since most jobs are not posted publicly. I am only looking for connections or info on jobs that are not publicly posted and I will pay you after I get paid. You can easily get me fired if I don't honor the agreement with a phone call.

If you personally vouch for me, I will not let you down. I am new to the area, and only have a couple friends here. I am easy to get along with, a great team player, an excellent problem solver and very teachable, but I cant seem to compete with people from better schools or with more experience.


I am pretty much open to anything except sales unless the product is the best, and I will send you my resume if you think you can help me out. Thank you if you read this. [/FONT]

Get a list of all the non-profits and professional organizations, lobby-type groups in the DC area - I saw one a couple years ago. There are probably thousands of them. Most of them will have some kind of research department component that is a perfect fit for an econ grad. Check their websites - they will often have a job section on there. What are your work interests? Did you do any projects in school that you could use to work your way into a type of organization?

Rumors abound that Boosterthon is going to be looking for a Fairfax spin doctor to address the use of instructional hours for fundraising.

As a degree holder in economics, you are well qualified. Better qualified if you are an evangelical Christian or were in a now-banned fraternity.

Ever thought about a career in man whoring?

I'm always looking for another he bitch in my man stable.

NOBODY is going to give your lazy ass a 40k + a year job for $300 are you fucking stupid?

That's actually a good idea. My college housemate econ major got his first job with a big DC nonprofit helping them to skew statistics in their desired ways. lol

Great advice. There are tons of trade associations around here, large and small. Last I knew, they tend to offer modest salaries but good benefits and a relatively stable environment. A quick google search found the following resources:

http://www.usa.gov/topics/consumer/trade-organizations.pdf
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_industry_trade_groups_in_the_United_States

I'm sure there are others. Many of these places post job openings online. Well placed phone calls could probably uncover more opportunities.

I could be completely off-base, but I doubt that your school is hurting your job search. It wouldn't surprise me if a lot of jobs in your field require a masters degree or higher. If you haven't already done so, have someone who knows what they're doing look over your résumé. It really needs to look great. You might also get feedback on your personal presentation.

Bottom line - do your research. Good luck.

Thanks guys, I think this will help

Make sure you're checking the Washington Post. Try key words like "analyst" and "research".

Vector marketing...Just sayin'

OP? Are you out of your mind?

So, I'm putting 25 years worth of my professional reputation on the line to vouch for you? Whom I've never met? For $300?

What happens when you shit the bed and have a glorious flame out and they shit can me in the collateral fallout? Zippy chance I'm exposing myself to that kind of risk for $300.

Shit go for the gold son! Why not offer $900 and you can be making $60 an hour...

So no jobs that require attention to detail, right?

$20/hr in Fairfax Co? Man, you'd be broke as shit.

So anal sex is still on the plate? Apply at Kilroy's for the Wednesday Night shift. I can pretty much $20 and hour from my crew alone.

in facists countries that's legal but in the USA that's not legal

so if you find a public employer taking bribes...

pleaes report it to use and we will "take care of the problem"

just keep talking

Isn't minimum wage more than $20 an hour? Just work at Walmart.

Author, disregard all stupid comments. You are doing a right thing by offering reward for a help. Good luck!
