In my field of professional sales, it is suicide to quit before lining up a new job. I worked with a guy who did just that and it took him almost a year to line up a new job. And he was a TOP sales representative!

I think that prospective employers look at you differently if you are unemployed. If someone else has you, then somehow you are more attractive to them. I know this is silly, but perceptions are important in trying to get ahead in your career. This is especially true in competitive fields.

My advice would be to suck it up and keep looking / interviewing. PLUS, down the road it is always difficult (though not impossible) to explain GAPS on your resume. It's better if the gaps don't exist in the first place.

Does your sorority have a career networking group? If so, join and ask for leads. Utilize the career center at your University, get your resume on Monster, careerbuilder, hotjobs, etc. In other words, do everything you can to find something quickly!

Good luck to you!
