The GYPSY generation deserves a unicorn on the flowered lawn

[ColdInCanada11]

I just read this thread, and thought there were interesting points in all of the articles listed. As a Gen Y-er, I'm finding it difficult right now. It might be my location, but with two undergraduate degrees, an MA, 2 years experience in admin, as well as 4 in customer service, I can't even get a callback for a receptionist position. I have had my resume looked at by two different services, and have applied to over 70 jobs in the past two months. The consensus- I didn't take the "secretary diploma", so I won't be able to handle it. It's frustrating to see my peers turning down jobs and quitting because it isn't perfect when I am struggling to find an entry-level position. If a job offered me everything that last article said my generation wants, I would be highly suspicious, to be honest.
