In my 7th months of job seeking and with only one offer from government agency (which was secured four months ago and it took long time to process paperwork, during which I still kept job seeking and networking), I have to say that when they called me overqualified, they were basically...

That book's name sounds familiar to me. It must be really good book then! Thanks.

They finally collected all people together and gonna start the real construction.

Oh your comment is very critical and useful and I'll never take it as some crude reply. Your kind suggestion is well received, you have my word on that! Thanks for appreciation and I did once ask myself "oh really that bad resume?" and had a tad moment of discouragement, which was totally blown...

Aha this is definitely a amusing change for me, who was kicked out of test center because my IDs were not having my signature on it this April. I was planning to retake it on October but after seeing the change I probably gonna try next year since that would serve me better, rather than...

Great thread. It's inspiring to see both friendly professionals as well as the strong spirit of OP. I'd like to know if OP could provide some further update on this (hopefully landed a job already!) since I'm currently in a similar situation here in New York, as a Columbia '13 graduate with...
