Still job hunting

Well, It is now a month and a half since i graduated, and I have not found employment yet. I have sent out dozens of applications, and had a few interviews, but so far nothing has come together. The most promising developments at the moment are public service graduate recruitment programs - i am in the works for two at the moment. They both offer good training and opportunities for advancement, but they are based in Canberra and start in February 2007. So it's not ideal, and whilst it is certainly a step in the right direction, they are not in the exact field i am hoping for.

I have applied for a couple of other very interesting positions, but they have a couple of weeks before applications close - so could be a month before I hear about them. It is difficult as many of the low level positions still require a couple of years of full time work experience in the industry - and the experience i have does not seem enough. But two I have applied for are looking specifically for recent graduates - so fingers crossed!
