Take any job you can get. The key is experience. See how thick your skin is by being told 19 times before getting a yes.

There are different boards for different industries.

I would recommend gaining connections with head hunters via LinkedIn.com. Type in "pharmaceutical recruiter" or "IT recruiter" or whatever specialty recruiter you like. I did this and got 800 results. Start emailing them a resume.

As mentioned above, if you have no sales experience copier sales are great for that. Shows tenacity and willingness to cut your teeth. I've also heard Enterprise car rental has great sales training. I've never been through it but that's the reputation.

Good luck!

Spider, thanks. That is really helpful info.

Lonestar, I am honestly pretty open at this point to what I sell. I am just looking to get some experience and work my tail off to be successful. Pharmaceuticals and Oil and Gas would be great. I have heard that Pharmaceuticals is pretty saturated right now though.

Its not really in the areas you mentioned previously but the Eagle Ford has really blown up recently south of SA. If you wanted to get into O&G there is probably a lot of opportunity down there for you. I don't have any contacts for you unfortunately but going that direction might help you get your foot in the door.

Isn't there an Aggie career website? My friend is always talking about some site that has tons of jobs listed. (and not jobsforaggies.tamu)

Thanks D2, I appreciate that.

Lonestar, also great info. I'll definitely look into that.

Learn how to cowboy and ill hire u on. Summer time day working! Beautiful memories.

I know a lot of folks in pharmaceutical sales and my family runs a staffing firm in houston pm me.

ADP is a great place to start at too. Great training and it is very well received on a resume.

One of the best ways to get a job, or if nothing else get some leads, is to post a Topic on Linkedin under the Association of Former Students group for whatever it is that you desire to get into. It emails everyone who is apart of the group, and that's actually how I landed my six fig job 4 months ago. I'm serious, it was the best thing I did. Landed me 7 interviews, and 2 offers... look into it. And good luck man, cause no matter how hard you try, it's still difficult to find a job that's more right for you, as opposed to you being right for the job.

Definitely going to have to get a linked in profile up and running.

Weav and Chad, you have pm's from me.

Thanks again so much for the info fellas.
