Things are looking up for three young jobless New Yorkers.
Although Christmas is usually a bad time to look for work, these women have stayed glued to their phones and computers – and it’s paying off.
One has landed a part-time job, and two others have lined up interviews.
Paige Ferrari, a former features editor at Radar magazine and one of five unemployed New Yorkers The Post is following, has landed a part-time gig as a Web editor.
Since negotiations haven’t been finalized, she’s keeping mum on the details. But she did say it’s a Web site that covers pop culture.
“It’s great for me,” said Ferrari, 26, who lives in the East Village. “It’s part time, so it gives me the flexibility to freelance, choose my own projects and make my own schedule.”
After hearing about the job opening from colleagues, Ferrari sent in her résumé and clips and had several informal phone interviews.
They liked what they heard and hired her.
Job prospects are also looking up for Catherine Miller, 25, a sales manager laid off by Power and Motoryacht magazine. After Miller was featured in The Post, several recruiters called.
She has three interviews lined up after the New Year. And she even received a call about a job as a trader on Wall Street – for which she has no background.
“I was somewhat surprised, but I’m open and will go on every interview. I like having options,” she said.
Out-of-work lawyer Hilary Bauer had an interview the day before Christmas Eve at the Jackson Lewis law firm.
“I didn’t let the holidays slow me down,” Bauer, 26, said. “I put on my suit and went to the Financial District.”
