I graduated from a university in May 2006. From May 2006 to January 2007 I applied for 275 jobs. I got 1 interview the whole time and it was for my current job which I was hired for in January 2007. Yes it sucks, no you're not the minority. Unless you have 5-10 years REAL JOB experience in your field then you will be searching for a long time unless you get lucky. I had a 3.93 major GPA, knew a ton about useful software and hardware, etc. doesn't matter. All that matters is that some employer can say if you suck or not (in other words, you need years of job experience).
