On the DC job market:
John Thorpe, a 2008 college graduate, spent the summer and fall as an intern in the [McCain] campaign’s war department. Now’s he looking for a job—any job. “I think I might take a job at a bookstore or something for now, because I need to make money,” he says.
Good luck finding a job at a bookstore — from my job hunting over the last couple of weeks, I’ve found that they aren’t hiring. In the case of the Bookstore I currently work at, corporate cutbacks in payroll means everyone’s hours have been slashed: when people quit, their hours are given on a first-priority basis to full-time employees, with us part-timers picking up the scraps.
So, good luck. I mean, finding that ‘bookstore or something’ job. Sounds like you’re one of those assholes who’ll quit without notice as soon as you find something better.
