My boyfriend graduated in May with his Masters Degree in Public and Corporate Communications. He's a well educated, smart, funny, and great guy. Ever since the graduation, he's been looking for a job, and unfortunately only got rejections. He's had to apply to about 70 jobs by now and gotten like 40 rejections. Needless to say he's a bit bummed out.
I'm in a sorority, and my sorority has a list serve that allows you to email each sister through a single message. It's quite common for sisters to post job openings or their resumes to help out another sister, sister's relative, sister's friend etc. I'm thinking of putting my boyfriend's info on there, do you think i should? of course i'll just list his qualifications and maybe a link to the resume, but some men can get ashamed, or just angry that they had to get help from their girlfriend. But he's been unemployed for a while now ( even before he graduated he wasn't working) so we could use the money. please help!

I totally understand his disappointment. I'm finally just getting a lead on a job myself after nine months of bs. I would hope he wouldn't be offended by you helping him out. I know I would love if a woman offered to help out. There's no reason to be offended. With what his degree is in I can understand why it's been so hard. So many businesses and corporations are either merging or downsizing or both that it has created a very competitive job market. Getting back to your question, I'm sure he would appreciate the help. I know I would. Good luck.

I wouldnt mind, myself, but if you think he will, here is a way around his insecurity. Post the information, then, if something comes up, just mention to him, during the course of a normal conversation, that one of your sorority sisters told you that blank was hiring, and you think he would really be good for this. Make him think its his idea, and he will fall for it every time.

I think it's nice that you want to help him although i think you should ask him would it be alright if you submit his qualifications to some of your friends to help him find a job because they have really good connections. Better safe than sorry! Good Luck!

40 rejections... This guy must be a looser.
Dump him.
