...Awad 1 Awad Abu Awad Prof Frias English 015 25 February 2016 Take Off a Tie Put On a Skill These days, finding a job can be an irritating process for new graduates due to life changes that has been made throughout the past years regarding businesses in several majors. It is terrifying to see how 23% of the college students spend 2-6 months searching for a job after their college graduation. After many days and nights of hard work, the dreams of sitting in a chair at a well-known company can turn into thoughts of regret written all over job advertisements in the Tuesday newspaper in a basement. Job hunting can only be as difficult as it seems when recent graduation takes role in the lack of experience, credit points become a daily issue due to the lack of finance management and unemployment becomes a main fear of a job searcher. Changes are made every year, new graduates should be taught to deal with these changes to be fully prepared for what the future awaits. Degrees are meaningless as years of practice and experience become one of the top requirements for an interview of a certain field. Nowadays, many companies’ top priority is success. One of the reasons behind failure in a business is not the idea of repeated mistakes, but the lack of experience. This is the reason behind marking degrees as a meaningless tool and instead accepting skills and years of experience as predators of success....

... The first step in preparing for a successful hunt is finding a good place. Ducks live in rivers, swamps, sloughs, and lakes. Flooded fields with crops are good hunting grounds, also. The ducks feed on grains such as rice and corn that are in the field after the harvest. So, at the end of each duck season, I begin looking for a different place to hunt for the upcoming season, because I like to hunt in new places. If I hunted a flooded field this year then I try to find a good a lake, river, or slough for the upcoming year. I find myself continuously scanning Craigslist, searching the internet, going to blind drawings, and connecting with other hunters until I find that perfect spot.

...distaste for my current job. Working as a waitress is a constant source of stress in my life. I do not make enough money to support myself, and I don’t believe I am valued or respected by the management. I have already taken the initial steps toward a new career by attending college for a Bachelor’s degree, however, while I am taking courses I need to find another occupation.

...following two topics: COM106 The need to use social media in a job search, and PSY180 Benefits of sports in the lives of children. For the COM106 topic, the need to use social media in a job search, I will need to locate three sources that will aid in a response to a fellow student who is arguing for the need of social media in job searches. Since the purpose of the investigation is locating information to respond to a post that is already made I would research from three different angles. The first search will be meant to locate information in support of the fellow student, the second will be to identify information on how the student’s idea would work, and my third search will be to identify information that could possibly be used to rebut the student’s viewpoint. I will use Google for all of my searches, it is my preferred search engine because I feel secure in the algorithm the system uses to identify web sites, and it will aid my search for credible sources. Because I am choosing to research three different points for the response I will alter the search terms appropriately. For the information in support of the other student’s opinion I plan to use the search phrase “benefits of social media in job searches,” for the neutral, informative response I plan to use the phrase “use of social media in job searches,” and for the rebuttal response I am choosing to use the search phrase “dangers in the use of social media in job searches.” I will evaluate the validity of the information...

...Difficulties: Searching for information: One of the difficulties I encountered during my internship was to find the information they asked me. Indeed, although the Internet is a wonderful source of information, some are not available, paying or very hard to find. This makes it very easy to get lost in the sources, dates, references; especially ... I struggled to find the business contacts that I had to explore.

Indeed, for most companies, I only had the phone number of the standard and it was very common for the switchboard does not put me in contact with the services I wanted to contact. Indeed, she receives many calls from the same type per day and often has instructions not to take action. I therefore had to develop a more than convincing arguments for action on my calls.

Therefore, I have not had the opportunity to see the purpose of my work for my internship ended before these projects end.

...The not so profound guide to landing a buy-side job Introduction This guide is a collection of ideas and wisdom sourced from various MBA students at NYU Stern that successfully navigated the buy-side job search process. It is generally geared towards those that are career switchers, not coming from former buy-side roles before the MBA. Though keep in mind that successful candidates typically have a background in some type of financial-related field, albeit not direct equity investing experience. Landing a buy-side job is extremely difficult. This is pretty much common knowledge among MBA candidates, but let’s walk through the reasons why. First, the job is very appealing to those interested in finance – it’s challenging, fulfilling, intellectually stimulating, and potentially very rewarding. You generally don’t have to work quite as many hours as investment bankers or even management consultants, but have the potential to earn more. This results in many, smart and talented candidates looking for buy-side roles, leading to a high supply of labor. On the demand side, investment management is a scalable business, where hiring needs are not directly proportional to assets under management. For example, in order to manage $100 million in stocks, a fund might start out with a PM and two analysts. When the fund hits $300 million, they might add one analyst, and perhaps one more when the fund reaches $500-$700 million. In this example, while AUM went up by five to seven times...
