Members of the class of 2011 are facing an anemic job market as the national unemployment rate hovers around 9 percent. Here are some of the ways graduating seniors are getting a leg up:
Applying at places they happen to walk by and get a good feeling about
Getting the phone numbers of the 500 biggest companies in the United States; calling them and screaming, “ARE YOU HIRING?”
Practicing handshake with boss doll at home
Packaging resumé with a free iTunes download
Lurking at Chinese lunch buffet to find out what people with jobs talk about
Putting up “Josh Needs Work” fliers in their area and expecting support, not laughter, you guys
Googling “How to get a job”
Comping extra slice of cheese on sandwich of anyone who looks as if they might be hiring
