Perplexing Career and Job-Hunting Ailments: Part II
by Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D.
Note: In April 2003, Dr. Hansen celebrated his fourth anniversary of writing The Career Doctor column.
In that time he has written more than 100 columns, helping more than 400 job-seekers with their
college, career, and job-search problems by offering his free professional advice.
This article, the second in a series, addresses answers to common college, career, and job questions.
In the four years that I have been theCareer 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 my 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.
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!
