Oh, do not be fooled by the excitement and drama in the TV shows you watch. CSI may give its audience a glimpse of the field of forensics but you can’t erase the fact that the show is still fiction. One advice if you find a career interesting, ask the professionals. They’re the ones who know the glamorous and the not-so-glamorous sides of their work. Here are some examples of questions that you can ask when interviewing a professional:
How did you get your job?
What are your main responsibilities?
What are the most frequent problems or issues do you have to deal with?
Can you describe a typical day in your job?
Is there room for growth?

Well, the economy is one for the many firms declaring bankruptcy and mass lay-offs due to the ever dipping economy isn’t good at all. Next, you might be aiming too high for a first job, so take a step back and look at your strategy.
Career planning should begin with your first job though it is very difficult, but you’ll get there for sure. Don’t be discouraged by failure and try to use a failed application as a motivating factor. Sometimes tenacity and persistence can make a difference, enough to convince even the hardiest employers so make it show and take it up a notch. Show that you are willing to take a lesser job for the experience for many firms base hiring strategies on such details. Make yourself stand out from the rest (not too much), imagine the guy who asks a simple question and lands a job, that can be you in his shoes so prepare for battle.
