How long was it between graduation & landing a full time line?

[Florence NightinFAIL]

Hello all,

I'm sooo gratefull/happy/relieved to have FINALLY landed a full time line. I graduated December 2010 and just got the call last week. It has been a whole year.

Finding jobs has been brutal - I have some friends who don't even have a casual job - they took retail jobs as they continue to look. I was hired for a casual position in Feburary and have been applying to EVERY single position that was posted and it took ten months to get one. It certainly is not my first choice speciality wise - but I'm taking anything I can get. Can't be choosers in this market.

How long did it take you? I'm talking about permanent full time line (I did temporary full time for about 3 months).

I wrote september 2011 and got offered a full time job october 2011! i don't start till next week, so lets hope I love it!

Hi, I'm also from the Hamilton area.

I graduated prior to you and am still looking for a position.

Do you have any tips or know of any places looking?

Thanks so much

Three months :). I think adding the license number to my apps helped me get selected for an interview (graduated in December, took the boards late February and was offered a job in March).
