Hello, my husband went around to various architectural firms in this area and dropped off a copy of his resume and portfolio. Unfortunately, on that day he was unable to speak with anyone. It has been a week. The plan is for him to go back to each place to follow up, but i have to work and he doesn’t have a license. Is it appropriate for him to call these places to follow up or should he really show up in person? Thanks so much!

Ms. Candy I. Good asked:


I’m looking for a job. I have a degree, I have what I think is a great deal of experience, but nothing. I have been looking for two years. I go on interviews and they tell me that I seem to big for the job, I don’t know what that is suppose to mean. I try to tone things down and take items off of my resume, but I constantly get this, You should be doing something on your own.

I work in nonprofit, but I also write. I have applied for both nonprofit and writing jobs. I live in Los Angeles. I am getting very frustrated, it is getting more and more expensive here, I paste together all of these insane jobs and live a hand to mouth sort of existence, I’m going to end up homeless, if something doesn’t change, I tried to apply for a job at Trader Joes and they didn’t even call me back…please give me some advice…

Jordin K asked:


I’m getting ready to graduate in December and right now I’m thinking of what kind of job I want after I graduate or what job I can actually find. Do you suggest to actually APPLY for a job right now or after graduation which is after Christmas? I’m scared if I apply now, they want me right away and I have to devote all my time to my studies right now. What do you think?

sunflowerlady asked:


I’ve been looking for a job for more than fourteen months. I have several freelance assignments going right now but really want something full time. I send out resumes and go on interviews and the interviews seem to go well - but no offers. Any ideas or suggestions? I’m open to anything! Thanks for your advice!

Nona asked:


What advice do you have for someone who is job hunting and getting discouraged because of not having found anything yet?

centenarydotedu asked:

On June 3, 2008, KTAL TV interviewed Centenary College Career Services Director Dennis Taylor about considerations necessary to a successful job hunt.

What the heck asked:


How many think job hunting advice and financial advice seems pretty stupid in this economy?
What I **** is that I am getting advice even when companies are not hiring. Like: How to keep from being laid off in this economy, or Don’t get nervous at your job interview when all they are doing is hiring people who they like, not who are qualified. When they start… or when I start having the talent to MAKE people like me, and it can be taught with advice, then maybe I will eat my left nut and shut up with the stupid questions….
