Well I may be making assumptions but usually any girl I have ever seen that had been in some type of sexual trauma don't look extremely happy sleeping with everyone. However I was in an Infantry unit so there were very few women and all the ones I ran into never indicated there was a problem. I didn't say they would broadcast it, however I would imagine that they would wear it on there face and in there actions. Honestly I don't know if you were trying to say that I indicated sluts can be raped? I don't know how to interpet that. Anyone can get raped, obviously. I don't need to be told that. But I find it highly unlikely that a girl that was just raped is going to go around sleeping with everyone. Any girl I have met that had something like that happen in the past is extremely wary of men.




Some people who are sexually assaulted shut down and become frigid and fearful, but others that are sexually assaulted sometimes have the opposite effect, and become hypersexual, even turn into sex-addicts.

Take a look at prostitutes, or sex workers. Many of them have been sexually assaulted, either during work or early in childhood, and yet they choose to make a living based off having creepy sex with strangers multiples times a day. It's almost like they're reliving what happened to them so they can get used to it and accept it and learn to live at peace with what's happened psychologically. I don't really know for sure though, that's just my theory. But I do know that sexual abuse and traumatic life situations is a common scenario among sex workers.

People respond in different ways, and I accept that it is possible that you didn't know any girls in your unit that had been assaulted. It is also possible that there were 1 or 2, or maybe more, that have. We can't really say for sure.

I'm sure there were guys in your unit who did batter their girlfriends or spouses though, although they may have never gotten charged with domestic violence, and you may never have suspected them of doing such a thing. So often it's always the friendly neighbor-next-door type who you think would never molest some kid, or beat up his wife, or rape strangers, who always end up being the ones that do.

I understand what you're saying. Unfortunately I will never know for sure, Hopefully though they crack down on this crap hard.

Also there were tons of guys who got kicked out while I was there for domestic violence. They have a law in Colorado where even if you both are just yelling at each other, one of you have to go to jail and it is usually the guy. Apparently after that you can't hold a weapon and that is why people were getting kicked out. I am sure some of them flew under the radar though unfortunately.

I don't know if it is considered domestic violence but I do know that there were people that were arrested just for shouting because it is mandatory someone goes to jail in a situation where is a domestic dispute. Yeah it is pretty stupid.

OP, are you still having difficulty even with previous work experience or internships? A lot of college students make the mistake of not working at all and then expecting a job immediately after completing 4 years of study.

People are right though, 23 is still young, you can still be forgiven for long periods of unemployment. My suggestion is, if you aren't already doing this, is to maybe go to a temp agency or a job placement agency or a job center in your area. In the mean time, do whatever you can to make ends meet. Sell your body if you have to (lol).






I worked all through college at a respectable job and got nothing out of it.  I've gone to temp agencies but apparently my record won't let me get a job or something?  They'll hire meth heads for better jobs than they offered me, I'm not going to work hard, manual labor (factory/warehouse) for $8.50/hour when my dad was working for $15/hr doing the same job 35 years ago.  I could make $8.50 an hour flipping burgers.

I don't understand exactly what they would charge them with? It's not against the law to shout at somebody. Maybe they just take them to jail to detain them overnight (without charge) to prevent things from escalating into an ACTUAL domestic assault. If so, that's actually pretty smart that they do that.

I'm pretty sure there's a reason that they do that. Like, there must have been some case where the police were called over a couple shouting at each other. The police came, nobody was arrested because they were just shouting, and then when they left the husband must have killed the wife later that night. Or something.

Ah, so that explains why you have difficulty finding a job--a record. Exactly what is this record for? Fraud? Assault? Possession?

There is a program that gives tax benefits to companies that hire convicts who were recently released from prison. I don't know the name of this program and couldn't give you the list of companies that are a part of the program. But somebody at the work agency should be able to give you information about it.

Misdemeanor possession/paraphernalia, a disorderly conduct or two, all 2+ years ago during college, and then a DUI just over a year ago.  Nothing I would consider to be a major dealbreaker.  Lets call it youthful indiscretion :tongue:

But, this is besides the point, as I don't even get interviews with potential employers, which background checks would come after.  Never been to prison, only held in jail overnight a couple times.

Well. What's your degree in and what sort of companies are you applying to? That might help solve the mystery.

wow, now i'm just baffled as to why you can't get a degree with a bio & chem double major. I always thought that'd be a solid field with tons of openings available.

Why don't you try applying for the respectable job that you had while you were in school? I'm sure they have a different position open for college graduates and would pay you more too.

It was in a business field that I basically maxed out my potential in without a business degree.  I also thought that such a degree would open lots of opportunity.  I haven't even been called into an interview yet, besides from manpower where they basically told me I would be working for less money than I could possibly live on.

With your degree you could probably work in research or pharmaceutical production or something. Have you tried applying to those fields?

Doesn't your university hold a job fair every semester?? My university held two job fairs every semester, one for science/tech/engineering majors and another for all other majors. My advice: Find out when the next science job fair is being held at your university, and go attend. The fact that you have already graduated will be a bonus to them, usually they are looking for seniors who are just about to graduate and can invest more time into the company.

Here's a sample one I found simply by typing in "UCI job fair" in a search engine: http://www.career.uci.edu/CareerFairs.aspx

Usually these things are held during October, so you'd better find out SOON if there's a science/tech fair at your university!!!!! I can't believe no academic advisor ever told you about the job fair they have every semester???

If for whatever reason your school doesn't, then contact the head of the department of your university. They should be able to provide you a list of companies that focus on chemical engineering, research, pharmceuticals, or whatever. Depending on your charge you might not be able to get hired to work with pharmaceuticals, but it might be fine. Apply to each of these companies individually.

It will help of course if you attend in person, because the person who attends the job fair will usually give you a business card with a code that you enter into the online application, and this code will help you get first priority.

But if for whatever reason the date has already passed or you cannot attend, then you should be able to look at employers that attended the last job fair online. Here are UCI's as an example (and I see 2 or 3 in that list which you would be eligible for): https://ucirvine-csm.symplicity.com/events/students.php?mode=list&cf=F13Tech

As a matter of fact, if you are really hard-pressed for a job, you shouldn't just look at job fairs at your school, you should also look at other local universities around your area and see when they are hosting job fairs. Attend both the science and tech job fairs as well as the job fairs for other majors. Who knows, you might find a well-paying job in a field that you enjoy working in. Doesn't necessarily have to be related to your degree.

There. I just gave you information and access to literally hundreds of employers that are specifically seeking recent college graduates. If this doesn't help you, I don't know what will.

You should also apply to pharmaceutical sales. They are typically seeking only a bachelors degree in chemistry or biochemistry, and it's one of the best fields to work in. You can literally make $200K a year in that industry if you are good, and still $60K even if you absolutely suck at your job.

Pharma sales... I had thought about that awhile ago but completely forgot about it.  Hmm :strokebeard:

But my college career placement people are awful.  The put you on a mailing list and you just get e-mails about jobs (that I already get from the staff that send it to the career placement people).  I want to go to law school to work in patent law but I cannot afford it right now, I would like to study by myself for a few years while working and paying down my loans, and try and get in within about 5-7 years.

Unfortunately my grades weren't the greatest (2.49 GPA) and I don't really have any recommendations from professors and I didn't do any research.  I had to change my major and missed out on a full year of part time school which would have been my fifth year which was going to be my year to do research.

Did you read what I said about attending a career fair? A career fair has nothing to do with you contacting a career placement employee at college. A job fair is when 50 to 100 companies come to attend your school to actively recruit students as interns or employees. it is a public fair that is open to all students and alumni to freely enter. They all set up booths and you go and drop off your resume and have a short interview with their representative. Many times, if they like your resume, they will schedule an interview with the boss upfront and arrange a time and date for you on the spot.

Or, they will give you their business card with a code on it, so that when you apply online and enter the code, it gives you first priority in the hiring process.  I'm surprised you have never attended a job fair on campus, even more surprised you have never even heard of it. I've always been able to get at least three interviews lined up every time I've entered a job fair. Even the internships at the tech fair started at 50k a year, so imagine what they're offering for actual graduates.

and not just pharmacy sells, but you should also consider medical sales. They do hire people with biology degrees too.
