It's taken me a little bit over two months, but I've finally found a job in SF. I just looked through my files and it turns out that I sent out 17 cover letters and resumes (and writing samples and whatever else was requested), was invited to interview at 7 of those companies, and have been offered one position so far (which I accepted. I start tomorrow. Woohoo!). That means I have about a 41% response rate, which isn't all that bad considering all of the job hunt books I read said that no one gets jobs by responding to ads (which is all I did. Thanks Craigslist!). Goodbye Maury, Montel, and Judge Milian! I'll miss you!
