Well, if you are Cheryl J. Wachenheim, you make it work. This online instructor from North Dakota was deployed to Iraq and ...

I almost wanted to throw up yesterday. Yeah, it sounds like “too much information”. But I was so angry and miffed that nausea was the default response to what happened to me. Here is the short version of what happened.
Last week, a very nice recruiter contacted me and did a 30-minute phone screen for a really good ...

My name is Lauren and I was just reading your blog about your journey at Kaplan University. I have been a student for a year and a half now and was curious if you were an online student? I will be graduating here in October with my Associates, but do plan to continue for my Bachelors degree. Anyway, I was hoping you could give me some ...

This has been a busy week. I have been prevented from posting as much as I would have liked, but this is a good thing. The job prospects are coming to life! There has been a lot of jobs posted recently that fit my skill set. It seems that they all came along at the same time. So I flooded them with my resume ...

It has been a busy week in school for me. We just completed the third week of studies in the foundation course and we are already throwing around ideas about our doctoral project/thesis. I have an idea that has been swimming around in my head for a few years, but I never knew what to do with it. Now that I am in the ...

The Obama administration is doing some good things with education. In an economic downturn like the one we are in right now, people are seeking out opportunities to gain new skills and re-tool themselves for jobs that might become available in the future.

It is I again. Since you are in Texas, I was wondering which graduate business school is generally viewed as more favorable by the people down there. University of Houston or the University of Texas? In addition, when I refer to UT, I do not mean the McCombs School Business at UT Austin, but rather the MBA programs at the other UT ...

All of my life, I have lived by the motto, “things happen for a reason”. That is all I have to hang on to today.
Less than two months ago, I left a job that I had for almost a decade so that I could “stretch my wings” and make use of the six years of education I have accumulated. I thought I found a company ...

This has not been my week. I’ve been spending quite a bit of time looking for a new job where I can leverage my work experience with my near-complete MBA degree from Norwich University. With this economy, it has become more difficult to find the right gig, but I have been pretty patient with the whole process.
I had the ...

Hello Scott,
I stumbled onto your review of Norwich on elearners.com. I am making a career change into I.T. My question, if you would be kind enough to answer if your degree from Kaplan allowed you to obtain an I.T job or were you already employed in I.T. I am seeking some guidance and I am uncertain on how much one can learn online without ...

Is it beneficial for a global Fortune 500 company that usually prides itself on hiring some of the smartest people in the industry have the "Assistant to the Recruiter" call an applicant for a phone screening, only to be unable to answer most of the applicant's questions?
That happened recently. That company was ...

After being a business owner for many years, the one thing I never attained is my college degree. I quit (for health reasons) after 1 semester. After being out of school for 19 years, I found an online community college and was able to transfer those credits to Indiana State Univ. which had a Degree Link program where I earned my BS in ...

I didn’t want to post this based on my belief in “the jinx”. I am not really superstitious, but I do believe in karma. I originally thought that by making this post, I would jinx myself, but I think I’ll take the risk.
I spent a decade when I was in my 20’s working to get experience in several ...

Sometime in the next couple of weeks, I will have the first real opportunity to put my degrees from Kaplan and my pending (2009) MBA from Norwich to use in the hunt for a new job!
If you search back through my posts in the last several months, you will see me discussing a job posting at my company for Director of Information Technology. You ...
