Try Finding a Mentor through a Job Club
Four years ago we blogged about the tactics used by the Freshman Orientation staff in the Office of Student Development to “train” students who were charged with “orienting” new Freshmen during Freshman Orientation. We described the entire process as a “Politically Correct Boot Camp.” We have yet to blog about Freshman Orientation itself, but the time has come. Over the years we have gotten chronic complaints from students who feel that they have been subjected to indoctrination at Orientation.

Yolanda writes: What kind of questions should I ask my prospective employers, when they ask me “do I have any questions.” The Career Doctor responds: A great question. Employers are truly interested in answering your questions, but mainly they ask you because they want to see how much you prepared for the interview — and to try and make a judgment about your interest in the company and the position. If you don’t have any questions, the interviewer may assume that you are not really interested in the job or are too lazy to prepare any questions.

The first half of the interview was going well, until the female head of development who interviewed me caught me off guard with an idiotic off-the-wall question: “How many gas stations do think there are in [name of nearest city]?” I thought for a while and then took a chance and answered “20 stations” (the real answer was 70)

Veronica writes: After a month of working in what I thought was my dream job, I can honestly say this is the biggest mistake of my life. My dream job is a nightmare.

From Peter Kirsanow on National Review’s “The Corner:” President Obama’s statements regarding the proposed Ground Zero mosque are the latest in a series of indicators that we are at a very peculiar pass: We have a president who doesn’t get America. For the first time in history we have a president whose default setting is in opposition to the general sensibilities of the American people. His behavior too frequently suggests that he’s playing a cosmic joke on Americans’ essential decency, considered patriotism, and belief in American exceptionalism.

In the wake of the housing meltdown, it sounds outrageous. The Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA) has a program that allows private banks to give people mortgages with (supposedly) zero money down. Superficially, this sounds like the outrages that caused an epidemic of foreclosures and a crash in the housing market.
