“what are my chances of landing a job making great money with a company with a polysci degree and a law degree

Posted on August 1, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have been involved with sales, and i have managed and lead other salesman with frito-lay corp for 8 years. I have trained, and i have been one of the top salesman and leaders for several years. However, i have quit that job to pursue my education. I will soon have a political science degree, and then a law degree. My question is, with my experience in sales, and business atmosphere, what are my chances in landing a great paying job with this education? What jobs or positions are offered with this education other than being an attorney? I would appreciate any one with some good answers to this question. Thank you!

Hard working MBA – Why can’t I find a job?

Posted on July 22, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I’m a hard-working MBA with an Ivy-League education, MBA with multiple concentrations, and 5 years corporate exp.

I quit my last job in Nov after 4 yrs of growing sales and ending up with record profits and revenue. I was head of a large vendor channel for all of that time. And because it was a small company, the last 2 years, I also headed our company’s accounting and HR functions.

I got sick of the 75-hour workweeks, so I quit and spent 2 months transitioning to the 3 people taking my jobs.

Since then, interviews are rare, I “don’t have enough experience” for positions at or above my old salary, and if I apply below, “They don’t think they could keep me”.

I’ve tried “best of” lists of my skills in different functions, and position-specific resumes focusing on one area, both have the same low success rate at landing interviews.

80% of the online jobs seem to be recruiters, and they compliment me on my resume format, so I don’t think that’s the problem. What is it?
