Offering expert answers and solutions to common job-seeker problems, questions, predicaments. Part V: The fifth set of 10 Career Doctor questions and answers.
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.
I have now been involved in writing my career advice column, Ask the Career Doctor Blog, for more than a decade, and in that time I have received thousands of emails from all types of students, job-seekers, and career counselors -- from teens struggling with part-time work or choosing a college to older workers fighting age discrimination -- and everything and everyone in between!
From all of these email questions seeking advice, I offer you my list of the fifth set of 10 of the most common career, college, and job-hunting ailments I get asked about -- and my expert cures and remedies.
Finally, as you read these questions and answers, please remember that while I believe I offer the best advice to these questions, you should always seek multiple opinions to your job-hunting problems. . . so, please take my free career advice to heart, then take two aspirins and begin your job-search anew in the morning!
