When Will the Market Finally Turn?

Perhaps you have no openings available or none that fit my background. The job market and economy are tough these days, no one understands this more than me, an experienced unemployed college graduate who majored in Economics and Business. Please keep me in mind for future positions you think I would be a good fit for and feel free to forward my information to whomever you think could benefit from what I have to offer. I welcome the opportunity and appreciate any form of feedback you are able to provide me. The only bad feedback is no feedback at all. Thank you again for the time and consideration you have given me.
