Aaron and I made the paper!

Here's the article on the Free-Lance Star's site

"Aaron ... and Kevin ... attended separate colleges and graduated a year apart.

But the longtime Spotsylvania County friends wound up in the same place yesterday--Fredericksburg Regional Job Fair.

They were among about 2,200 people seeking the attention of more than 60 employers at the Riverside Center off U.S. 17 in Stafford County. The event was sponsored by The Free Lance-Star Companies and the Virginia Employment Commission.

The 23-year-old [Aaron] has been looking for a job since his college graduation in May, while [Kevin], 24, has been a job-seeker for more than a year.

'It's a circle,' [Aaron] said. 'We need a job, we can't get a job because you need experience, and we can't get experience because we need a job.'

[Aaron], who wants a career in sound engineering, said he has already drafted 25 to 30 versions of his resume in his post-graduation search. [Kevin] said he has learned not to get his hopes up for a job in computers and networking, despite several interviews in recent months."
