My story:
Graduated Finance from Mich. State University. Did a few local internships at Morgan Stanley and accounting/finance departments at local hospitals.
Since I graduated last May I have been working part time for a physician managing his business.
I have been expressing my interest to relocate for positions to any state within the USA.
I've been successful in acquiring interviews at big name companies: Intel, HP, Ralph Lauren, Target, Dell..to name a few. I have also received job offers for jobs in the Financial rep field (which I have no interest of pursuing).
Now it has been a year and I just found out that the job I was betting on just let me know I will not be getting a job with them.
I've used all the connections I have, dad works at HP, uncle works at CitiBank, friend used to be in IB, past room mate works for GE.. and thats only the people who were at arms length away from me, I've contacted many people who these people know as well.
I am currently living in MI and I have been debating on moving to a big city out of state and maybe getting a local job or a temp job. I'm getting desperate and I know a 1 yr gap from graduation to working in the industry looks bad and can become difficult to explain without making myself look unappealing.
any advice would be great!
tl;dr: Graduated from MSU last May with BA in Finance, been looking for a job as an Analyst, IB, Fund management, etc.. but not limiting myself to only Finance also been looking at Accounting/Supply Chain/Marketing
