Re: New Grad in PDX
The hiring freeze is beginning to thaw. I have seen quite a few positions open up after months of nothing at all. It is just that here are soooo many new grads competing for the jobs there is a bit of a bottle neck effect.
At present it seems people are doing a bit of shifting within the organization. After nothing being posted for months more desired/specialty type positions are opening up freeing up others. It is getting better.
I would surf the websites of the places you want to work daily. Check and check. Apply to as many positions as you can. If you apply to a postion and then it gets filled, then you see the position re-posted...re-apply. They may have got the go-ahead to open another slot. Seeing your resume reappear is a good thing.
All you can really do at this point is be dilagent.
