Almost any gig will do: A letter

Hi Ms. Higel,

I hear you are leaving soon and was urged to contact you asap.

The run down: I graduated from USF- St. Pete last December w/a Business Management degree. My experiences include a year studying abroad in Australia, an internship in NY w/a record label, and most recently a six month stay in Belgium where I taught English to children.

Looking for: anything...legal.

Why come back from Europe? Unfortunately I got quite a bit homesick and really missed my family, friends, good karaoke, and country music. Alas, here I am, back in St. Petersburg, and am essentially starting over. I have no car, no money, and least of all NO JOB.

Most of my friends who graduated w/me have hung on for dear life at the jobs they had in College. Luckily I am blessed to have NO kids, no huge loan repayments, and no mortgage. So in that sense I am doing great! On the other hand being 22 years of age, jobless, and considering Publix post graduation was not what I had imagined.

I have reached out to my quite impressive network of professional connections in the area and utilized Facebook to tell others of my hunt. No bites. It seems as though the 'favor' well has run dry.

If you could give me any advice, leads, or reassurance I am all ears.
Hope to see you soon.

Thank You,
Holly Berggren
