Well fanatics it's about time for this guy to start the job search since I will graduate in May. I'm looking for something in the social services area and am willing to go anywhere. Anyone have some helpful tips? Already tried out the career fair but no luck.
Mediation is the fastest growing area in the social services. If you are good at facilitation, negotiations and interpersonal relationship skills, I'd suggest you start there. And better money than most social service jobs.Quote:

Always good advice, however it gets increasingly harder the farther away from Ames I'm looking.Quote:

It's about who you know, as well as how well you did in school.
