Graduated law school in May 2011, first day of work was October 31st, 2011
I had gotten a bit lazy applying for a while there, since I knew kids from my school with top of the class grades were having trouble. But I got back on it with a little prodding and have a pretty relaxed (most of the time) gig working from home with decent pay that I just happened into. Feel pretty lucky.

I applied to about 20-30 places. Got 4 interviews, 3 job offers.
ETA: I was applying for some jobs that I wasn't qualified for and didn't realize it at the time though.

I'm graduating with my Ph.D. in 6 months or so (not a worthless Ph.D., mind you - Chemistry), and its shaping up to be a long process.
PhD in Chemistry here. Went the industry route, started working in December, defended in May. Still with the same company....6 years now.
C&E News yearly jobs report came out recently and painted a pretty bleak hiring picture for PhDs at all levels. What's been your experience?
