by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.

Note: In April 2002, Dr. Hansen celebrated his third anniversary of writing The Career Doctor column. In that time he has written 75 columns, helping 300 job-seekers with their college, career, and job problems by offering his free professional advice. This article, the first in a series, addresses answers to common college, career, and job questions.

In the three years that I have been the Career Doctor, I have received more than a thousand emails from teens, from college students, from career changers, from older job-seekers. . . in fact, from just about every type of person seeking advice about college, careers, job-hunting, or career advancement. From all of these email questions seeking advice, I offer you a list of 10 of the most common career and job-hunting ailments -- and my cures and remedies.

Hopefully you'll find the answer to your problem among these 10 career ailments, but if not, please feel free to send me an email to the Career Doctor, and then read my column while you await my response. I also promise to write one or more follow-up articles with the next 10 common career and job-hunting problems -- read all my Career Doctor’s Cures & Remedies to Quintessentially Perplexing Career and Job-Hunting Ailments.

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!
