Networking, Recession Style

Over at Philly.com, former DP ed Zoe Tillman tells us a depressing tale of blood, sweat, tears...and recessionomics.

Jobless and frustrated, '09 grads Sean Christman and Andrew O'Malley passed out their resumes on the Ben Franklin Bridge yesterday.

Christman, who graduated in May with a degree in finance and management from La Salle University, estimated that he had sent out at least 250 job applications to companies, mostly up and down the East Coast, since December.

"I'm not going to stop until I find a job," he said.

O'Malley also graduated in May, with a business management degree from Rutgers University. Both graduated cum laude and have several summers' worth of experience at local investment and money management companies.
