I graduated college right as the economy tanked dramatically. Local companies were rabidly trying to recruit me, I had a dozen legit job offers.

Then, a week before I graduated, they all pulled their offers one by one. Everyone I knew by name at all of these companies was laid off at the same time. Spent the next two years temping because I was “overqualified” to work at companies like Best Buy.
