Can a Dean of Student search you legally?

We Answered:

The second answer is totally wrong?

Schools have the right to search students and their property if they have reasonable cause. Its different from 'probable cause' which is what the police need. School officials just need a reasonable suspicion that you're doing something wrong.
Generally you are under school rules/power during the entire school day, even if you have off campus lunch you're usually still required to follow the school rules during that time and I expect that its still legal for them to search you if they have a reasonable suspicion.

I think the first search was pretty reasonable. The second search sounds a little unreasonable to me though, the first search didn't come up with anything and there doesn't seem to be any actual reason to search so many kids in the group? And why only search some of the kids and not all of you- how did she figure out who to search? Anyway, I think the 2nd search is a little too much?

How does a freshly graduated student from University find a job ?

We Answered:

First of all, if you graduate from college with no experience then you're doing something wrong. During college you should try to work at least a part-time on-campus job, or (more important) get an internship during the summer or school year. These internships help immensely, and actually can lead to jobs upon graduation if you perform well and impress the employer.

Despite all of that, if you manage to go all the way through college without holding a single job, you still have educational training and experience to rely on and that's what you should market when seeking a job. While they say "1 year minimum", they really mean that they want people who are serious and not going to job hop. I graduated from college with about 3-4 years of experience in a clerical/administrative/publishing setting as well as other employment history and have been using it all to my advantage in my job searches.

Your best bet is to start looking for a job and applying to as many thing as possible in February of your senior year. Go to every job fair you can, network network network, and start applying to whatever you find that sounds like something you could reasonably do. If you're a good enough fit for the job and a competent person, they will train you in the specifics.

Job search question - getting wrong kind of responses?

We Answered:

You might have better luck if you emphasize your IT knowledge in the resume. You could include classes, school projects, personal projects - anything IT related that might be relevant to the positions you're targeting. You could even put the IT experience section before your work history and add highlights or a headline to further emphasize it.

Consider hiring a certified professional resume writer if you need more help.
