Kelly # 96: lady in waiting

This is one of my favorite comics. Primarily, because I was graduating in 2010, during the Great Recession and jobs were hard to come by. My career counselor at college said with my resume and transcript that typically I would be able to get any job I wanted. But the recession ground mine and my fellow classmates’ ambitions to a halt. Seeing how you would apply for a job then if you did hear back once you may never hear back again reminded me of the perils of dating and waiting for a guy to call you back. It was certainly the opposite of the employee’s market we are in now where employers are desperate for workers. Did anyone else feel this desperation trying to get a job during the recession?
