  • What you SHOULD do at a job fair

    In my last post I had several suggestions for what not to do at a job fair.  This was after experiencing my first ever non-law enforcement job fair, which to say the least taught me a lot.  Well let’s get to it then shall we? First let’s set the stage, you will wait in line for anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours just to ...

  • What NOT to do at a job fair

     So I worked my first job fair as an IT professional.  It was different than doing so as a cop for many reasons.  First is police work attracts a very predictable crowd for the most part.  Education is usually not as much of a priority as it is a box to be checked off.  We don’t care if you’re a cop already, ...

  • “You should be svelte (thin) to be a kindergarten teacher”

    This is the blog that I have been dreading! This experience was so embarrassing that I can barely write about it. In my last semester at Drexel University, I needed to complete my student teaching in order to apply for Pennsylvania state licensure. I had been dreading this because I needed to coordinate baby-sitting just to make this possible. It ...

  • Re: Online Computer Engineering

    I started my education working for an IT degree and like Steve decided it wasn’t for me.  The degree it sounds like you are looking for is a web designer and there are several really good programs out there that will earn you a bachelors degree. http://www.elearners.com/search/online-degrees/web-design.htm These programs cover ...
  • Prepping for the Praxis

    In education we have a licensure and certification testing process called the praxis. This is a two part series of assessments used to see if an individual has the basic skill set to be a public school teacher. The second series tests an individual's core knowledge of their specific area of expertise. I have already taken the first set of ...

  • Next Steps

    Well everyone, I'm at a crossroads. I am so thrilled that I finished my B.S. degree but now what? As a sign language interpreter I am pretty well paid so getting a job ASAP is not really on my list. My future goal is to become a professor so I know that I am looking at a MFA or PhD. So for me this is going to be a long road. I really like my ...

  • Re: resume help

    I know you've gotten a lot of similar feedback, but I would encourage you to spend a little time and create your own--when you actually go to interview you'll be far more comfortable elaborating on it if you've created it from scratch.  I recently came across this video series that was helpful to me--it's a bit dry, but ...

    LadyKT: Ok - that's good to know.  I mentioned something to my supervisor - she said she never heard of Kaplan Online, but most attorneys aren't tech savy nowadays.  I'm hoping to eventually get a job in NYC, so hopefully NYC employers will recognize Kaplan's name and give me some credit towards teaching myself per se. ...

  • Dental Assistant Course at Penn Foster

    Hi, I just recieved the information about Penn Foster's Dental Assistant program and I am amazed at how much cheaper it is than a regular vocational school. The brick and morter school I looked into costs thirteen thousand dollars! Penn Foster's program is under one thousand! Although there's a voluntary clinical course that ...

  • Re: Online Associates Degree in Business?

    Not to be a broken record....but in the Business world an associate degree won't get you very far.  If you're looking to move up the corporate ladder, a bachelor's degree is the bare minimum.  You can always get into a Bachelor program and earn the Associate degree along the way. I'm also going to second Helen's ...
  • Re: Best Paralegal Online College?

    OK, with regards to what kind of education you need: "There are several ways to become a paralegal. The most common is through a community college paralegal program that leads to an associate’s degree. The other common method of entry, mainly for those who already have a college degree, is through a program that leads to ...

  • Re: What do I want to be when I grow up...

    Hi there! Don't be sorry - it's okay to not know exactly what you want!  To help narrow in on a field of study, have you considered taking a career interests test? The results can help you identify some possible careers or industries for which you may be well suited and that, in turn, may help you decide what kind of degree you want ...

    im4unc:My last concern is the value of these online schools when it comes to job's. Wait, are you saying that the last thing you're worried about is an employer's perception of an online degree or that it is your final concern, among other things?

  • Re: Online Associates Degree in Business?

    I agree with those who say an Associate's isn't enough, but it's better than what you have now and all the credits it takes to get one you'll need anyway for your Bachelor's.  I say get an Associate's on the way. Good luck, -=Steve=- 
  • Re: Online Associates Degree in Business?

    I will have to side with Helen, in todays job market I seriously doubt an associate degree will be sufficient if you intend to climb up the company's ladder. I would go for the BA or BS in Business. I suggest everyone reads the book "the World is Flat" by Thomas Friedman (its now available in paperback for around ...
