I guess I'll get in on this too:

Job-Seeker (will be) in Washington DC

I just got my M.A. in South Asian Cultures and Languages. I speak Hindi and Urdu and some Spanish. I'm pretty awesome at research and writing and I also have experience planning events for my department. I have also worked a wide variety of administrative jobs including: Receptionist at a Synagogue, admin assistant for the faculty search committee of a chemistry department, student worker in the accounting office of that same department, etc etc. I'm a spreadsheet and powerpoint master as well as a "self starter" and "team player" and all those other awesome things.

I'm arriving in DC towards the end of August and while I would prefer to get some sort of analyst position which would involve some translation work, I'm also open to an admin position to at least support myself while I'm getting settled in DC.

Any suggestions? I have PM, otherwise email me at elizannebow@gmail.com

p.s. I'm also open to positions in Minnesota, Texas, New York or Washington.

You can get a job with a 3 letter right now so long as you haven't gone on any cocaine fueled crime sprees in the near past. The fact that you speak Urdu, and can use Power Point qualifies you for intel analysis right away you just need the clearance now.

Yeah, I know. I've applied to pretty much every three letter I can think of. No dice.

Are any of the job seekers here having luck getting jobs?

Not yet, I'm moving to DC next month to see if I can harass people into giving me interviews.
