Job searching..Follow

In the past I used both Monster and CareerBuilder. The offers I got from Monster were always way better, and it seemed like CareerBuilder returned a lot of results that were totally unrelated to my resume.

So, I recommend Monster, unless you're looking to be surprised by your next job, which is kind of a neat idea if you're into living dangerously.

Cool, thanks. My only experience with Monster has been that I get bizarre search results emailed to me. For a while I had it set to email me weekly with jobs related to "educational counselor" and I'd get everything from registered nurse through waitress.

Maybe they just know how cute I am in a uniform.

I don't teach, though I have no objection to teaching in higher ed. I'll only have my M.S. in the spring though, which leaves out most colleges...though there may be some community colleges down that way that are looking for faculty I suppose. Maybe once I get my Ph.d., but I'm not even thinking about that for a few years. I work in higher ed administration or with specific groups, usually students that have some sort of barrier to them beginning or completing a college education. I've worked with low income and first generation adults, those with learning disabilities, etc. Currently I'm just a glorified secretary while I'm finishing up this degree. I'd like to be a dean of students or something in that area someday, and maybe teach a class.

Anywho, I'm not looking specifically in Boston, and wouldn't choose it first. I'd much prefer Western Mass, probably Amherst area as it's more my style. Thanks for the advice folks.

Is there anything you can't get on Craigslist?

Plutonium, and an English movie entitled "The Bottomist" on Vhs or DVD, come to mind.

I'm looking for a Care Pathways Manager, paying £40K ($80K)

Is MA to UK a tricksy commute?

While I'd be happy to teach, it's not really what I'm looking for presently. I like working in student services, especially in positions that allow me to work closely with those students who need the most assistance to get through college. I've worked in a variety of higher ed positions that required working with admissions, financial aid, registration, etc. Populations I've worked with include low-income, first generation adults, their children, glbt populations, single mothers, and also have background working with literacy organizations...

My M.S. is in Human Development, which is a sort of liberal artsy "I like to do lots of things and work with people" sort of degree. I like flexibility to try new things. As such, I've taken classes that would benefit a variety of fields like statistical analysis and research methods, and some that are more specific (like counseling and human sexuality) that I find interesting and may opt to pursue further at some point down the road.

Hey Nobby, convince them it should be a telecommute position.

I like pina collatas.

I like women that are flexible and like to try new things too.

I used a site call HCAREERS to get my current job. It's a site dedicated to Hospitality job only though. I dunno, but I'm betting you "edumicators" must have a similar type of site kicking around the net.

I prefer Monster, but I heard LinkedIn was pretty good.

I'll take it!

I've had loads of experience with the managing of Care, and with the managing of pathways. Like, you know, if it snows, I take the shovel and shovel out the snow, if its leafy, cos its Autumn, then I take a blow-dryer and blow-dry the leaves onto my neighbour's lawn, cos I'm creative and always seeking long-term solutions to problems, and I'm also a team player and hard-working.

As for Care, well, I care. A lot. About, like, los of stuff, but especially about Pathways, and how to manage them.

In other words, you won't find a better, or more caring, Caring Pathways Manager this side of the Thames.

I've been at my current job for almost four months (I think I got it through Monster) and I'm still getting job offer/inquiry contacts. So much so that I've considered looking for something even better paying.
