I don't know what part of LA County you are in but if you go to a WorkSource location, which is part of the EDD, they can give you information on different websites and they help you with resumes and how to do interviews. I have this one phone number, 213-629-5800. If that is not close to you, I'm sure they can give you an office near you. They have helped me and I hope this will help you.

Unfortunately, having a bachelors and masters tend to be of no help for getting a job in your field in Los Angeles and elsewhere. I don't know a single college graduate who is actually working in the field they studied for. For awhile, just about anybody could get a job in Silicon Valley in a computer company, but they had a huge crash and burn more than a year ago that wiped out 2/3s of the jobs. I'd suggest getting into a temp agency and hoping that some company you are temping for will remember you when they find it necessary to get a new person. They'll have to pay a headhunter's fee to the temp agency, so you will really need to stick into their mind as a good worker. Oh, and to titna_07 - the questioner said 'county', not country, nor do any of the answers use 'country'.

My advice is to focus less on your credentials and more on what you can do and what you enjoy doing. For most jobs degrees are usually just technicalities - its what you have actually done and what you can actually do that really count. I would also suggest concentrating on what you *really* (deep in your heart!) enjoy doing. If you enjoy doing something you'll be very, very good at it. You'll also be happy and that's gotta be worth something! Good luck! :-)

Transportation/Logistics masters degree with Information Technology background = What kind of career

Transportation/Logistics masters degree with Information Technology background = What kind of career?
I'm getting my masters degree in Transportation and Logistics Management, and I have 7 years experience working in IT doing PC support, most recently contracting with state government. What kind of careers put those together? I'm not looking to do helpdesk at a logistics facility or anything... i'd rather get out of IT in that capacity.

Depending on the depth of your IT background, you could have a promising career as a technical coordinator for transportation/logistics. What this includes is finding out how technology can be used for your company, determining the hardware/software costs, determining the functional capacity of the hardware/software, integrating the hardware/software, and managing the installation and maintenance of the hardware/software. This really makes your title a roving one. In this capacity, you will transition from a project coordinator to a project manager to a technical manager of some sort. The only problem is convincing the company that they need this level of technology and someone to manage it.

Dental school is different altogether. Expect to spend many years to become a dentist or only several months if you want to be a hygienist.

In America, we prefer to see degrees from English-speaking establishments in our hires. Management is very communications-intensive, so you should be a native speaker or at least have your education from a university native to the place you want a job. This is not as important in science, math, medicine, etc... but management is a very colloquial trade, so you need to be working with people you can easily understand and associate with for the best results. If you want to work in France, I would recommend getting a management degree in France.

I would check with the college where you earned your degree in france. Most US companies who hire using a H1 visa will do an international check on your qualifications to see if they are equal to an American degree.

The amount of recognition behind it depends on the name of the university and who graduated from there before you. Also where is "there".

forget having it evaluated by anyone. It will just cost you a ton of money and perpetuate the higher education myth. (Believe it or not, higher education is not the end all goal. Employment is) So, the TRUE test is in the real world of getting a job. Apply for jobs in the field you earned your degree in. If you start getting called for interviews and are hired, you are fine.

Evaluate for what? There are many people with degrees from many countries working in the US. Employers know of the top schools everywhere. Your degree will speak for itself when you apply for jobs or for further education.

Is it better to pursue a Masters or Science or MBA

Is it better to pursue a Masters or Science or MBA?
I'm about to graduate with a Bachelors in Finance and am looking into the options of a further degree. I was interested in the Masters degree in management information systems because i am really interested in that stuff and would complement my finance degree well. I am also considering an MBA, but I was wondering if anyone had any insight into which is better... I heard that if I pursue an MBA, some of the material will be the same as with my undergrad degree. Also, does a Masters or MBA have more job opportunities and which one can you get a larger salary with? Masters "of" Science

Business Degree,can be used with so many other Degrees.

My impression is that with a degree in either of those areas you could get a good job. Looking to the future, I think it would be difficult to say which degree would make you the most money. One thought, either of these degrees might allow you to take courses that touch upon the other one's area. For instance, I'm sure that there are business aspects information systems, and there are information systems aspects to management, finance and quantitative analysis. So with whichever you decide to go with, you could try to emphacize the aspect that most interests you. Once you are out in the job market, there is less emphasis on what degree you have than on what skills you have that produce results.
