Unemployment in Oregon is well above the national average. Nobody in architecture is hiring. I am planning a trip through Vancouver, WA, to drop off resumes. Probably moot, but I need to do something.

Dammit.

Damn :(

Keep looking, if needs be send an application to every single office in the area. Someone will be hiring, and once you get a job, even if not ideal, you will be in a more comfortable position to look elsewhere.

Best of luck, and don't let this drag you down!

Ah, hon ...how frustrating and disheartening!

Just keep swimming, you know?

Nu har du skitit i det blå skåpet.

Dude, that sucks. And I don't mean to make light of it. I've been laid-off before and my own job is in the precarious mortgage industry.

Please do follow-up calls and politely 'pester' everyone when you do apply with employers. The squeaky wheel gets the grease (and sometimes the 2nd interview too).

And if Vancouver is a better market, you could realistically go there, right? Even temporarily, for a few years, to follow the money? Larger cities offer more opportunities.

I do hope you can get some leads. You have the kind of curious devotion to architecture that most firms NEED.

Offers you hugs and lots of crossed fingers.

That is the pits, because you really worked for this. If [livejournal.com profile] lotusice's recent experience has taught me anything it is that living your dream is worth every effort. ((Even moving your family to Maryland. *ahem*))
