Here we are in late February and the recruiting season is about to come to a screaching halt.
After applying and interviewing with seven companies over the past two months, here are my dismal results:
One prominent retail chain: Ding without interview.
Two consulting firms: Both dings without interviews
One prominent commercial real estate GCS: Phone interview (conference call) with a sour ending.
One local product manufacturing firm: Interview followed by a ding.
One small private niche manufacturer: Successful phone screening with in-person interview next week.
The software company in Redmond: Waitlisted for second round interview.
What the #$%#?? Half of my colleagues already have (at least) one offer and that was after just interviewing with a few different firms. This is really getting at my nerves. Anybody else having a hard time locking in an offer? Any suggestions??

Matt, my only suggestion is keep trying. At one point, you may want to go for the "any job I can create a good story about come 2nd year recruiting" but I don't think we are there yet (the time for that would be May). Try and get advice from career coaches, 2nd years or anyone you may have access to. Maybe it's just bad luck or maybe there's some aspect(s) of your candidacy that you could address.
If it helps, I'm yet to get a job. I have a few 2nd rounds lined up and some dings, but I need to ramp up the application process over the weekend as my options are not enough.
Last, but not least, don't despair. I know this is easier said than done, but it's only a summer job and you can always re-start from scratch next year. One interesting factor, if you are interested in consulting, is that full time jobs are easier to get than summer jobs. The theory is that there's more demand and less supply for full time consulting positions than for summer ones.
