I felt like I was holding my breath for 5 months! After what I believe to be the busiest 5-6 months of my life, I can sit back and do some ‘internetting’ for a couple of minutes. Let me start at the beginning. In the last few days of June 2009 I applied to Oral

Political Science Department Chairman Barry McCormick has faced a bit of harassment from University officials , apparently originating in the Office of the General Counsel of Marquette University, due to the fact that two Wisconsin politicians are going to speak at a debate on campaign finance reform tomorrow night .

Marquette’s Lawyers: Not Understanding the Law on Politicians Brought to Campus to Speak
From Daniel Suhr, a response to our post detailing how Marquette has a rather illogical and ill-thought out policy on bring politicians (including those who may be running for reelection) to campus. Not only is your post about campaign finance right on point, let me add an additional consideration: the university bureaucrats seem to underappreciate the fact that these are incumbents still in legislative session

Kimberly writes: I graduated from a MBA program with honors in December and have been unsuccessful in my job search. Thus far, I have done the following: (1) networked through associates and friends; (2) attended career fairs; (3) applied for positions online that are posted to corporation’s websites or my university’s job postings. I have not had an interview since December. Can you provide any advice? The Career Doctor responds: My best suggestion for you would be to run immediately to the career center of the university from which you earned your MBA

Connie writes: I’m 29 and I have finally realized my ideal profession is to be an artist. However, in addition to the late start, I’ve had no formal training (only inherited talent) and becoming a painter seems to be a bad financial move. From my research a MFA is necessary to be considered a professional artist. Do I really want to spend $40,000 for a degree that doesn’t guarantee any return? But I just want to paint and I’m so tired of working in offices… How can I have a struggling career when I can’t afford the training?

Anonymous writes: I have applied several times to a particular company and just discovered, much to my horror, that I had been spelling the city’s name wrong (at least three applications so far). It’s a two-word name and I made it one word. Worse, it’s a company I do business with regularly and that’s one of my “ins” into the company, my “knowledge” of them, and yet I didn’t know such a small thing

From Jeff Jacoby : JEWISH SONGWRITERS have created some of the most enduringly popular songs of the season — Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas,” of course, but also “The Christmas Song,” “Silver Bells,” and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas,” among others. Some people might view that as a heartening, only-in-America expression of interfaith goodwill and warmth.

Karen writes: I had an interview yesterday, and during the interview I was told they would be calling some applicants back for a second interview next week… When I was told the pay range of my position I did not speak up then that I felt it was too low for my skills and ask if it was negotiable. If I am called back for the second interview, or they just call to offer the position to me, how do I handle salary discussion? The pay range was between $8 and $10

Amy writes: I have been working for the same company for more than five years and am currently starting an active job search because of a downturn in business. I cannot give anyone in my current company as a reference because of the need to keep the job search completely confidential, and the company I worked at previously is a key client of my current company, so giving a reference from there is not possible either. Neither company has had turnover to the point I could use someone as a reference that is now at another company

Struggling to Find References
From Politico : The New America Foundation’s poll of Israelis, released today, contains a finding suggesting campaign-trail rumors about Barack Obama’s religion penetrated deeply in the Jewish state. The survey, by Jim Gerstein, asked Israelis (both Jewish and Muslim) whether a series of terms describe President Obama well, and 39% of respondents said the term “Muslim” describes the president, who is Christian, well. Of those, only 15% said the term described him very well.

From the American Spectator , some selected parts of the article: As Britain approaches a general election, commentators on the present “British sickness” or “British crisis” usually dwell on one of several areas. Here are some of them: • Destruction of trust in the Parliamentary and political system. About half Britain’s MPs have been found to have broken either the spirit or the letter of the law with dodgy expense claims, “flipping” primary and secondary residences to avoid capital gains tax and in other ways showing contempt for the taxpayer — a contempt now being heartily reciprocated.

Political Correctness: There Won’t Always Be an England
From Jeff Jacoby : Of all the ways in which the United States marches to the beat of its own drummer, few are more striking than the American people’s consistent and deep-rooted support for the Jewish state. In a recent nationwide survey , the Gallup organization asked Americans: “In the Middle East situation, are your sympathies more with the Israelis or more with the Palestinians?” For the fourth year in a row, 59 percent — nearly 6 in 10 — said their sympathies were with Israel, while just 18 percent sided with the Palestinians.
