Posting as a "Gen-Y"
I agree with the poster who said the following, though for me it was closer to 50 interviews on 100 applications: "Me, I follow the 100-20-1 rule for graduates: 100 applications, 20 interviews, 1 job. "
That is what I had to go through in 2007 when I graduated and the economy was still pretty good. I also went to a top ten college in my discipline(went to Illinois for cs) and had a higher GPA than her. Not exactly a shock for someone from a no-name school(don't those usually just hand out 3.5 GPAs just for paying your tuition?) and a bad GPA to not find work in a bad economy. I know people who graduated with a masters degree and a GPA full point higher than this girl and still can't find work right now.
