I guess I will offer my two cents:
  • Finding a job is easiest when you have one (i.e. prospective employers take your current job as a signal that you have marketable skills).
  • If you are taking classes in a university, consider looking for a research assistantship or work study opportunities. Faculty are frequently looking for RAs and you may have scarce skills: foreign languages? good with Excel, some programming or scripting language? can create web pages? Foreign languages can be an asset in research in history or the social sciences (including business school faculty). I would suggest drafting cover letters and dropping your resume strategically in mailboxes in various departments in the university and the dean's office in each school. You may even target professors whose work you think is interesting.
