- This is what I've been trying to do since graduation in May 1992. I've
- written to all the tribal colleges, applied for several jobs on area
- reservations (Western New York), but to no avail. I have excellent
- references and pertinent job experience; it seems the jobs I was
- seriously considered for went to individuals with 15+ years experience.
- It's a tough job market out there.
-
- My question: how can I continue to track down jobs on reservations?
- Now that I'm no longer affiliated with a university, I've not been able
- to find _Lakota Times_ at area bookstores. Since I'm unemployed, I
- can't afford a subscription. Has anyone considered posting jobs
- somewhere on the net?
-
- If anyone has suggestions, please feel free to email me directly
- (p00179@psilink. com)...or to ask for my resume! :)
