Hello all, I'm an everyday lurker here, but don't post that often. Anyway, I'm a senior at Mizzou who is graduating in May with a degree in International Business. My emphasis is in marketing, and that is really the career area I want to get into. My problem is that the economy is pretty rough right now, and I am having a hard time finding employment. I was hoping that maybe someone here might have a tip or lead that they could offer me. I emailed Wallace Bennett at the Wizards' front office regarding possible entry-level positions, but I realize it's a long shot. I know a lot of you are Jayhawks, but was hoping you might have it in your heart to help a fellow Wizards fan. Really, any assistance would be well appreciated.
Having just graduated from Rolla in December I know what the job hunt is like. Although the engineering field is usually in high demand, it was still nerve wracking (sp?). Try a lot of the search engines online (jobhunt, careerbuilders, etc). As well, go to local papers online and they usually have local listings. (I'm sure you've done a lot of this.) Also, I dont know about MU, but Rolla has a career center that helps us locate companies hiring. Look into that as well. Good luck!
I am a recruiter for an IT Consulting company and I recommend like Ben said going to the job boards. One other thing I recommend is going to every companies website in town that you can find as a lot of companies in this down economy have stopped posting their open positions on job boards because it costs money and rely more and more on posting their openings on their own website. Some common job boards are www.kchasjobs.com www.monster.com www.careerbuilder.com www.hotjobs.com www.flipdog.com www.brainbuzz.com www.net-temps.com www.dice.com there are tons of different ones out there if you search hard enough but these are some of the major ones. Good Luck in your job search.
Rather than threatening you with adminstrative action.... I'll just ask you, when was the last time you made the playoffs? Didnt we beat you 5-0 a few weeks ago? Now which fan has more intelligence? James
