You never know where opportunities come up -- and it's an excellent sign that the person in the previous job got promoted

You tell them you are a college graduate and got a job in your field. Tell 'em you are the phone stud -- it's j ust a title -- why would anyone even raise an eyebrow over what your title is

I graduated from college three months ago, and have been slacking in my job search, because in the back of my mind I hope to get a job with this major network. How do i go about this? My biggest fear is that I jump at something now, and then this network offers me a job and I already have one. But on the other hand, what if the offer never comes? I have trouble sleeping because of this. Something has to happen soon. This receptionist gig sounds like a great opportunity...if I was female.

get over the sexist attitude
Seriously.. this isn't 1955 where a woman could only be a secretary. It's a great opportunity. PERIOD.
There's no rule that says you have to stay with the company. If another opportunity presents itself, you can always leave (in a professional manner) Keep your contacts at the company you are at now... but go for the new opportunity. A full time job beats 2 days a week -- Either that or get yourself out of slacker mode and concentrate on your job search again.
