David, 26, biomedical engineer

Where do you live? Richmond, VA

When did you graduate or move? May 2009

What was your field of study? Biomedical Engineering/Mathematics/Physics

How long have you been actively job hunting? I have been looking for a job since graduating this past May.

What sort of job are you looking for? Ideally, I would obtain a position as biomedical engineer and develop cardiac medical devices, such as, artificial heart valves, ventricular assist devices, and implantable cardioverter defibrillators. Alternatively, any mechanical engineering job would suffice. Regretfully, the job title, fry cook, is looking like an excellent position with plenty of room for advancement.

Any interviews? What's an interview?

What are your biggest obstacles? (Do you have to move back in with your parents? Do you have a mortgage to worry about?) I need to get reestablished. In other words, I need a short-term job, an apartment, and a car.

What are your biggest frustrations? I can't find a car.

What are your biggest fears? That I will stay underemployed.

What do you do all day? I tweet on my-face-space-book blog. Also, I babysit my two year old nephew.

Do you have big financial worries -- family obligations? Loans you're supposed to pay back? A growing credit card bill? I have a hefty amount of school debt. I do not have any credit card debt.

Do you have a partner or spouse who works? No.

Any final thoughts? I'm considering putting together a fake resume just to waste the time of the human resources department. I'm bored and frustrated. Yes, I received my PhD from Harvard.
