Post Graduate Job Search

[hooskins]

Ok guys just to let you all know I am graduating from UVA in a couple weeks and am deep in the job hunt.

I am a foreign affairs and economics major, and have interviewed for a couple consulting jobs but not much with the government yet. I still have a couple consulting positions to apply to the in DC area but do you all have any suggestions for government jobs or NGO opportunities/application process/pointers etc?

The economy really sucks, as last couple years I had no problem finding an internship. Now things have definitely tightened up. And with my first couple interviews I really learned a lot about the do's and dont's. I am a bit worried about not having something but I am confident I can provide someone help somewhere with my skill-set.

Basically wondering anyone's experience if there are looking for a job right now and general pointers if you guys have any. Thanks.
