Will going abroad for your first job increase your chances for jobs back home?
I'm planning on going abroad for my first job. It will be a teaching job and I don't have any serious career ideas. I don't know what job I would be working if I stay home instead so I'm assuming staying or leaving won't makeba huge difference in what I care about, unless I find something before my first job. I can think of ways that going abroad can be seen as good and bad. I do not know which side respectable employers willl side with. #working-abroad #employment- #overseas
How pertinent is it that the jobs you have in college pertain to your career path?

What can I do to gain more leadership experience in college?
From the start of college, I have joined many clubs and organizations to get involved. However, lately I've been stressing out because every time I desire to join a committee or become a board member, I never quite succeed. Will not obtaining leadership positions hinder my potential to employers. #career-path #leadership #career-development #employment #organization #student-clubs #organizational-leadership
Is there a better career outlook to double major in accounting and a computer related major (CIS) or accounting and a language major (Chinese)?
I soon have to declare my major in order to sort out the necessary courses with my college adviser for the upcoming years. However, I am stumped. I have always intended to major in accounting and a computer related major like Computer Informational System, but recently I started hearing about my school's accounting and Chinese double major program. The way that the Chinese professor emphasized on the importance of language got me intrigued. I enjoy both my computer and language classes, thus, I am having a hard time deciding on my major. I want to know which double major is more desirable and helpful in our today's economy? A double major in CIS and accounting or Chinese and accounting? #career #college-major #career-counseling #career-choice #career-path #career-development #employment #employer-relations
What occupations and fields are stagnating or decreasing in growth?
As time progresses, some occupations become obsolete because of society and technology. The factory worker was beat out by the robot, the mail delivery man was beat out by the drone. As a student and future contributor to the workforce, it is imperative to know where the money is at and where it is heading so that I can make a good living and have a successful career. #employment #job-market
Will there be an over saturation of engineers?
I want to be an engineer and am curious about the field. Presently, engineering and other STEM occupations are quite popular. But as time passes, there will be many who major in it like me and due to that, won't the job market be more competitive? And if so, when? #engineering #employment #job-market
How do people ensure themselves a financially stable future? How can I as well?
For example, I was always confused how people automatically move out of their parents' house and start supporting themselves right after receiving a job. When someone starts working, I always feel that it may be too early to start finding a home since a person wouldn't have too much money to begin with. Can anyone explain why this happens? I will try to clarify if anyone is confused. #finance #jobs #employment #support #houses
When is the optimal time to apply for a summer job?
I'm wondering if there's still enough time for me to apply for a job this summer. I have to go back to college in September, so I'd only have July and August to work.

Optometry vs. Ophthalmology- Should I be worried that the MDs will take over the ODs?
I am interested in pursuing Optometry, which means I would need to take the OAT, and go into Optometry school. However, if you go through with Medical school, and the MCAT, one could become an Ophthalmologist. I don't want to begin following the Optometry route if the MDs could take over the jobs, leaving me with nothing. I understand that an MD can perform surgery as well as the general check-ups, which is why I am hesitant seeing as they can do more than the Optometrist (except for those few cases if you get your TPG, TPL, or TLG attached to your license). Should I worried? Should I just go through with medical school and become an Ophthalmologist instead? #medicine #healthcare #employment #optometry #ophthalmologist #optometrist

Should I be worried about technology and robots potentially taking over some jobs?
It's no lie that technology has always been advancing forward and improving, but should I be worried about it in terms of getting a job in the future? Do you think it'll be harder for the future generation when they're ready to start working? How should we avoid this if it becomes a problem? And what job sector do you think will be affected? and which ones will not be affected? Feel free to explore other areas as well. #technology #job #japan #employment #robots
How to be an outstanding candidate when applying for jobs?
I have just graduated from college and looking for a job. I understand that the job market is tougher this time to make matters worse some say there might be a recession coming. I try to put the best in my CV and resume and tailor them to a particular company I send it to. Other than work experience, academic projects, co-curricular activities, voluntary activities, testimonials and recommendations from my professors is there anything else that would look good in my resume. Unfortunately my GPA isn't high and that puts me in disadvantage. The candidates that get selected for the job I want have accomplished something great in the respective areas mentioned above. However, I was not an active member in clubs and societies and my final year project was not among those selected for poster session despite the hardwork. Poster session is where you display and present your project to the public in campus. The only thing I am good at is my hobbies. I understand that seeking employment would take time for me. I would appreciate if you could provide any advice on this matter. #college #resume #employment #resume-writing #skills #job-market
Does contributing to open source projects help in boosting your CV/resume?
I am have recently graduated with a mechanical engineering degree and now finding a job. I lack the relevant work experience needed for some of the jobs. There are jobs that require strong programming knowledge along with engineering degree. I have experience in programming from the projects I did in college. However in order to stand as a better candidate, I feel that contributing to opensource projects in GitHub help in showcasing my skills. What do you think about this? #programming #employment #open-source

What is the difference in having volunteer work or paid job experience - besides the factor of money - in applying for a non-temporary job/career-related job?
