    Unemployment...*Just Vents

    *Just got word about an interview in November ! =)

    Well, it's been about a month or so. I've been in pursuit of some jobs that I hopefully find desirable. I have a Bachelor's in Finance.

    I have avoided banks but looked at:
    Hotels
    Air Line
    Government
    State
    Insurance

    It's been a few weeks and I'm just wondering how fast they are in processing applications. The websites suggest they are still ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. My thing is, should I wait a bit longer or take some job on the side? Things move very slow here... I just hope to find something I want and would prefer to wait a bit seeing there isn't much alternative. At the same time I am looking every few days for openings. It's a dilemma and I don't want to forgo a job that I might enjoy while settling for something temporarily.

    I have a Finance Degree..
    In the mean time, what recommendations would you people suggest in bettering myself? Any software, books, skills to develop? I do plan on going back for a Masters depending what field and how things are. Right now I just want some more experience and money.

    I had work as a student aide and an intern assistant at appraisal company. I want to master 10-key. Any ideas other than practice? Are there any software for it?

    Just wanted to vent.
    I know I have to improve myself more.

      I'm not that smart and for many other family reasons.
      I'm the first in my family with a Degree if that matters.

              Not that smart? You must have the self esteem of a 13 year old, 200lb girl.

              You dont have to be smart to get a degree. I work with plenty of people who im pretty sure are borderline retarded, and yet have a masters degree in computer science.

              You just have to be willing to work hard to get it.

              You are never going to get a good job with a confidence level like that.

                  It was given the contextual of comparing a BUSINESS LAW and FINANCE comparison. But I'm not gonna have these internet slings.

                  I myself have seen the situation and works of degree and intelligence and all that. The correlation is funny. But still, a degree is just a degree, whether you can perform or have the skill is another thing.

                  I honestly know where I stand in comparison, but I'm not gonna settle for it. I myself don't think my degree means much. Yeah, it' better than a lot of people, but that's not good enough for me. Like I said, I plan to improve so I'm just venting and seeking experiences. Still, like you said, a degree isn't that hard obviously. But you do know it's a filter and a 'MINIMUM' qualification on many aspects.

                  As far as not getting a good job...
                  Well I hope that I can find something, but after working in the City & County and Appraisals/Real Estate and Restaurant, I think I understand a bit and have put myself through the confidence test. I've done on site appraisals, and have dealt w/ clients as an intern. But again, nothing can ever be comparable right? lol.

                  Confidence, I've learned is a must, but not arrogance.

                  kk ill stop. no flings. this is serious.. anybody in the field or have pointers just throw them out.

                      Hotel Night Auditors....almost all hotels are in need of night auditors. The Pay is great, the only thing is you have to stay up @ night and sleep in the morning.

                      Apply to the hotels even if you don't see an advertisement for the job opportunity.

                        The degree helps and hurts at the same time. Some places don't like hiring people right out of school for some reason. They'd rather you have some "real world" experience. If you have to suck it up and get a not so great job somewhere and use that as your "real world" experience and keep looking for something better the whole time.

                        I'm with lokuputha though, in HI you gotta be able to get a job at a hotel dealing with finances!!!

                              Yeah,

                              I am eyeing hotel as my number one place. Although most graduates went to banks for the easy entry levels. But yeah Thanks for the inputs.
