Hi all,I graduated Spring 2010 but still have the "naive, enthusiastic graduate" attitude to apply to a place I&apos;d like to call home. I&apos;d like to know the process for kids out of college but not quite "experienced hire."I bought a one-way to Asia when the US economy/job lottery wasn&apos;t getting better. The reason I left was I had a 2 year gap between my finance internship/rescinded offer and graduation. I know MC is very structured in recruiting, much like banking, so no one wanted a 2009/2-2010. I crashed career fairs, cold-called, and went door to door until I lucked out at an internship in China.I did unpaid internship to internship and hustled for a while (worked at a top 5 ad agency, top 3 asset manager) and ended up at the MNC in SE Asia, not a strategy consultant, but full time strategy in a junior role.I still have a job there after a very reputable engagement with the CEO, but I&apos;d like to work in the States. I&apos;m in the US now at a Morgan Stanley/Merrill-like brokerage for the summer, to buy some time.Since I am longer on-campus, and the jobs online require 1-3 years, I&apos;m a bit stuck. It seems discouraging sometimes as a non-target, that trying to earn an interview takes all my time up. I&apos;m afraid of the same story of 2009 repeating again this Fall (not eligible, not enough experience).What I have been doing is writing and FedEx-ing letters to partners, directors overseas and in the US. I&apos;m spending my stipend doing this (it gets expensive). So far, I earned 1 interview for Accenture in the UK from applying online.If you guys who are working or recruiting could give some direction on what my strategy should be, I&apos;d be most grateful. At the ad agency, I learned our founder once got $500 to open up a hotel, and his PR/direct marketing was to buy 500 postcards and stamps.My plan is to study cases until on campus recruiting starts in September, be brave and go to other colleges&apos; career fairs (no consulting firm has ever come to my school), and keep writing letters. I know this is long, but thank you for the advice!-wolfy
