State of the Job Hunt, January 2013

Today I applied for job #865 since graduating in June, 2011.
Yesterday was job #864; I applied to one more over the holidays, but otherwise the last three weeks have been slow.

Yesterday I also had interviews #63 and 64.

Let's do some number crunching:

Official Job Hunt Start*: June, 2011
Number of Jobs Applied to as of Jan 4th, 2013: 865
Number of interviews: 65
Number of job offers**: 6
Number of jobs/internships accepted***: 3
Current primary forms of employment: soccer referee, "consultant", blogger (click on those ads, folks!)

*Though I graduated mid-June, 2011, I started my job hunt before that. My first interview was in February, though the applications didn't really start until April. If you start in April, I've applied to an additional 18 other jobs, 3 of which resulted in interviews.

**I'll have to write about these job offers later.

***Same with jobs accepted, worth it's own post.
