Where can i find a good job!?

We Answered:

Do you want to stay in Twin Cities or move. You should not have any problem getting a decent job in Fargo. And if you don't mind a walk on the rough side, you can get a very good job in the oil fields west of Bismark.

Job Search HELP - need tips, etc.!!?

We Answered:

The job market is pretty bad, which is why you need a plan.

The one thing I don't see in your question is the type of job that you are looking for. (Or were you planning to stay an office manager?) It is really, really important to figure that out. As the old saying goes, you can't catch a rabbit unless you know what a rabbit looks like.

My advice would be to work for a year or two before you go back to get your MBA. Many new graduates panic when looking for a job, and decide to stay in school instead. It's the worst reason to get an advanced degree...as you noted, it just delays the problem, while racking up more debt.

Once you know exactly what type of job you are interested in, you can target companies and executive recruiters who specialize in that area.

Networking is also an excellent way to find a job. If you want to be a bricklayer, join the National Association of Bricklayers, and go to every event. Introduce yourself, and let everyone know you're looking for a job.

And also, of course, take full advantage of your college placement office, and attend all the job fairs and events that they host.

Unemployment question.?

We Answered:

No, this is standard procedure. The class is mandated by every state that I can think of and goes over resume writing, online job applications, interviewing skills. It is actually vey helpful for those who have not had to look for a job since everything went online.

What are my chances in finding a job in the architecture/construction field?

We Answered:

Down markets is part of our industry, this will not be our last, there will be others. Heck, this is the third recession for me. If you're unwilling to move/relocate, there really isn't all that much you can do. It's not like you're the only one looking for work, the entire industry is hurting. The good news is indicators show we are at the bottom and we're waiting for the economy to pick up. Since we're in the front end of the market, you can't reliably look for signs for recovery on TV. By the time data is recorded for the number of building permit applications, architectural offices already onto other projects.
No one can say when our market will pick up, but it will happen. The lesson learned here is to take advantage during a good market. For young candidates like you, you need to pursue your registration, get ahead of peers in the office by volunteering for more responsibility, honing your craft by working 60-80 hours/week, volunteer at AIA functions and save up whenever possible. That was the formula that worked for me when I was your age. I did end up working overseas because of the market in the US. The best part about this profession is, your hard work will pay off.
