That's pretty much exactly what I wrote :) I'm interviewing in NJ. I know the job market in NY sounds like it's tough but I honestly would not recommend coming to NJ either. There's MAJOR competition and you have to be very cut throat which is not like me at all. I interviewed for a position and was told there were something like 2-300 applicants. It's crazy. I'm very discouraged + looking at other options if I dont get this job. On 6/25/08, Melissa wrote: > Wow that does sound intense!
