There is no way for me to hide the fact that I’ve had 7 jobs in last 7 years. Although I have great credentials, no one will hire me — I actually have a job paying 1/3 less than what I’m used to making. Do I stick it out for a year? Do I try to finish my CPA license in this state (varies from state to state). Do I go back to school at night for IT? Thanks. Continue Reading »

There are lots of ways of finding target companies… here’s one that might make sense for you.
Google your town/state and “Venture Capital” or “Venture Fund.” You are looking for local venture capital websites. Venture capitalists are the people who help fund companies, whether they are startups, or larger companies who need some money. You can think of them as an alternative to the bank.

When you lack conventional equipment and supplies, creativity is required. Two saw horses, a piece of plywood, and a queen size bedsheet make a good temporary dining table for 12. The town dump can be a treasure trove. Doors are transformed into a kitchen table and a utility shed (see picture on right--there are 11 doors in this shed, only 2 of which function as a point of entry).

with my degree it would be hard to even change careers and achieve a salary over
$39,000 per year? What is the best route to break into a new career in human
resources?

Dear Dr. Hansen: The scenario is this. If I have a job interview on a Wednesday,
and another (more preferred) interview on a Thursday, how should I handle it if the
Wednesday interview results in a job offer on the spot? Should I accept the first
offer and then decline it if the second one becomes available, or do I level with them
that I have other interviews and would like a couple of days to mull it over? Would
this put the first offer in jeopardy? I certainly wouldn’t want to insult anyone and
appear to be hedging my bets (even though that’s what I would be doing). Any
suggestions for proper direction? Thanks.
