People hire their friends and friends of friends typically.

I know how you feel. I was out of work for several months last year. Not fun. Keep at it brah.

I'm suprised that course didn't out you into a place of employment as a student to gain experience. Many of those business courses have some kind of placement service integrated where you work for a company for 6 months as part of the degree.

If you have decent grades (3.0+) and are about to graduate and have YET to get a internship (paid or unpaid). That's all your fault. There's so many people looking for jobs, you have to work your ass off in college to fight for those internships or whatever sort of work experience you can get... seems like maybe you didn't try as hard as you should have to network...

What you need to do is just talk to people. Like for instance.. I was jokingly asking a member here about a year ago about hiring positions.. he said he knows someone who works for an accounting firm, but I need to graduate first. Obviously, I have to wait another 3 years (I'm lagging in school). But I've just put the word out to ONE person that I was looking for jobs/where to look for jobs.. and there you go. networking.

As a wise man once said to me "Business is about networking". Seems like you're missing the fundamentals to what a business student should be VERY good at...

I interned for 8 months for $6.55/hr. during/after I got my Culinary Degree...sure I could have gotten $10-$12/hr. just about anywhere, but the restaurant I interned at had a lot of career potential.

I worked my ass off 55+ hours a week doing what most others do for $15+/hr.

8 months later my Internship ended, and they asked me to stay...the incentive? $10.32 an hour raise plus full benefits and paid vacation/sick time.
