Also, if you know anyone that is looking for a experiences professional in the financial services industry, please have them contact me asap. Thanks again!!!

What kind of networking are you doing? Networking by far is the most successful way to find a job. Your fraternity/sorority, college placement office, alumni associations, professional associations, community agencies, government agencies, personal contacts (start using LinkedIn if you haven't already), and even employers themselves (check their website and see if they have job listings. Many times, jobs aren't advertised).

You might have to open up what type of job or company you are willing to join. I don't know exactly what you are looking for, but let's say that in addition to working for a financial services company, you might look at financial service jobs at "any" company. Law firms, corporations, banks, hospitals, universities, non-profits, etc., all employ people in financial roles.

And it's only a minor mistake (above, it should read "an experienced professional"), but make sure you proofread (not just spell check) every piece of communication you send out - resumes, cover letters, emails, thank you letters, etc.

Good luck!
