Today, I came to the conclusion that going back to school for my MBA will be my best solution; not only will I have the chance to use my current and past studies to gain my financial/accounting certifications; I would also have the privilege to take advantage of internship opportunities I would not have qualified for otherwise. Nevertheless, I find it unfair that I can't advance in my career because employers would not really want to take a chance with an entry-level graduate like myself.

All in all, I guess my questions would be what can I do to stand out among other job applicants while I look for other jobs in another company/industry I am genuinely interested in? And what can I do in the meantime to make my current job a little more bearable? ]]> http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/181/should-i-stay-or-should-i-go-two-part-time-jobs-to-stay-in-a-career-path Fri, 27 Apr 2012 16:25:39 -0400 bake 181@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/85/how-do-you-find-balance Tue, 08 Nov 2011 11:13:49 -0500 PAMom 85@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/9/should-i-be-less-picky Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:09:38 -0400 LV 9@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/56/do-you-feel-underover-paid Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:47:54 -0400 Victorcine 56@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/8/my-boss-is-driving-me-crazy Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:09:02 -0400 LV 8@/discussions/discussions ]]> http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/63/graduate-school-should-i-go Thu, 20 Oct 2011 19:37:25 -0400 LV 63@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/137/fashionable-yet-affordable-professional-attire-for-women Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:07:17 -0500 Nicole I. 137@/discussions/discussions
I'm nearing the end of my college career, and while I have a bevy of "professional" pieces in my closet (way too many collared shirts, a few two piece suits and suitable shoes), I am completely lost at how to pull together an interview outfit that makes me stand out in a good way.

I am entering a field where it is important for me to look credible and pulled-together, but stylish and creative at the same time. A collared shirt just doesn't scream " I can think outside of the box!"

I'm looking for resources covering fashionable and affordable professional attire for women. Any suggestions?]]> http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/132/group-interviews Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:29:14 -0500 BBJ11 132@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/125/finances Mon, 23 Jan 2012 10:51:20 -0500 rtfgirl 125@/discussions/discussions
I am at the point where no company wants to hire a woman who is partially disabled because of all the risks involved. Also, because of my past... an extremely violent husband who almost killed me because he beat me so badly, I had to legally change my name, and my kids names, move to a different state and start all over!

Because of all these ups and down I need to start over once again but, this time I'm completely broke! I would appreciate any advice you could give! thank you!]]> http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/59/what-are-the-necessary-work-wardrobe-pieces Wed, 19 Oct 2011 17:03:43 -0400 Katheryn 59@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/58/school-and-careers Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:06:11 -0400 MissLala 58@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/57/manager-decisions-costing-meyou-money Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:11:54 -0400 Livetolaugh23 57@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/48/suggested-book-the-happiness-project Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:20:50 -0400 loribilly 48@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/7/negotiating-a-higher-salary Thu, 13 Oct 2011 08:08:36 -0400 LV 7@/discussions/discussions http://www.learnvest.com/discussions/discussion/30/changing-careers Thu, 13 Oct 2011 10:51:53 -0400 Robyn Ann 30@/discussions/discussions
