Business Administration with Specialization in: Finance, Human Resources Man, Management, Marketing, Real Estate Man, and Small Business Man.

This degree is going to take me a while to complete. What do you all think the value of this degree is? I mean, will I get crappy jobs or good? Do you think it will provide me with good opportunities?

I freelance by building small websites for local businesses. I build them in HTML because they only have a couple of pages. I’m getting requests to build bigger sites that the owners would like to be able to update and am looking for a free but good Content Management System that I can use. Can anyone recommend one?

this is a rough draft of a cover letter i did for a secretary type position at a financial firm. I really have no idea what i’m doing. its been so long since i applied for a job! I would love suggestions. thanks!

Dear Mr. ****,

I am writing in response to the clerical position posted in the Bay City Times on August 6th. Currently, I have worked as a professional nanny for over four years with the same family.

Although I have enjoyed this type of work, I am looking to broaden my horizons.
As you can see from my resume I have a very steady job record, and to my beliefs, have the right skills to fill the position in which I am seeking. I have a very positive work ethic, great communication and people skills, and am proficient in typing and all of the major computer programs such as: Microsoft word, data base, outlook, and speadsheets.

Currently I am enrolled part time at Delta College majoring in Small Business Management and working on my real estate exam.
I would be very enthused to be invited for an interview with you or one of your associates. I can be reached by phone (*********, or by email

Are there any good free contact management software programs out there?

Average Joe asked:


Greetings everyone,

I’ve recently started a small business and want to be able to keep track of contacts and when I’ve communicated with them. ACT seems to be the big player in this category, but I was wanting to explore the free programs out there before shelling out any money.

Can anyone suggest a freeware program with ACT’s features? Ideally, it should be a standalone application, but web-based suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks!

Is it better to launch your career with a small or large company?

Seth D asked:


I recently graduated with a Management: Global Business degree and am searching for full-time formal employment. I am preparing to interview with a logistics company very soon and my research into the company reveals that it has about 28 employees, its CEO is in his later 20’s, the company was founded in 1997, and it has grown very rapidly since that time. As a recent college graduate, is it best for me to launch my career with a small, newer company or is it better to get in to a larger and more established one?
