Don't know much about creativity it seems.
Business is easy for me.
My degree is in English Education.
I work as a business manager. Business is much easier, for me.
It's cut and dry, except for the criminals who use creative measures to bilk people (see Bankers).
Try rewriting your resume.
All grads aren't screwed.
Do you think that it was easy for previous graduates to get jobs?
Everyone competes.
I had my resume critiqued and rewritten by both my university and by people who work in HR. They only thing that I can think of that looks bad is my spotty employment history. I haven't had a job in a little over a year, and my employment before that was very spotty - Three months here, five months there, then a break for a few months, and then another five months elsewhere. I was mostly hopping between different bars for work. That goes back about 3 years or so.
"Do you think that it was easy for previous graduates to get jobs?"
Well....I am the first man in my family to ever graduate college, so I am not sure how difficult it used to be. I meet people in their 30s who graduated 10 years ago and didn't have nearly as difficult of a time. The two women in my family who graduated.....They found jobs extremely easily. My mother had a teaching job lined up before she even had the piece of paper.
As a hiring official, I would not hire you with a sketchy employment history.
If I'm going to train you, I want to keep you and there are lots of resumes that show a good working history.
I'm usually looking for reasons to eliminate and sadly, that would do it for me.
I had a hard time getting a teaching job in the 70s.
So that's a specific case for your mother, not everyone. Did they know someone?
There are also a lot more people on this earth looking for the same job you are, the population has exploded.
The best advice I can give is to get a job and keep it for a year.
It's more than party affiliation but you're getting warm. Public education isn't just about learning, it is a function of social welfare. This time, it's a twist of irony. Education was touted, only it didn't work and made some of these people poorer than before, and not any smarter.
Yes because even if they got their college free, if they can't find jobs, it isn't helping them. In fact it gives them the attitude that because of that free degree, they are too good to do many jobs.
So we have many Americans out of work and have to bring in foreigners to take many of the jobs. Plus the foreigners will happily accept a much lower pay.
Americans aren't unemployed because the economy is bad -- the economy is bad because Americans are unemployed.
I'd be just where I was before. This time I actually can't get my job back at McDonald's
