Hey, James, how is the job search going?
Hi, Sharon, I had no idea. It'll take so much time. It sure makes it difficult to prepare for final exams. How about you?
I was lucky. There seems to be a shortage of highschool teachers now. I applied to three schools and each one offered me a position.
That's great. Which one did you like?
I haven't decided yet. Of course, it will be easiest for me to stay here in New York or go back home to Boston, but I may go to California.
That will be a big move.
So tell me about your plans?
Well, I applied to six newspapers. Last week, I had an interview with New York Times.
How did it go?
Not so well. I think they are looking for people with some experience.
Have you had any other interviews?
No, not yet. It seems that everyone wants to be a writer these days. There just aren't many jobs out there.
That's too bad.
Yes, I had a hope to have a job lined up by graduation. That doesn't seem likely now.
What will you do if you can't find a job?
In that case, I'll begin working on the master's degree in the fall.
