Looking for full time work

I have a BA in Poli. Sci. and cannot find work.

Lots of people cannot find work. Where have you applied? What are you interested in? Where do you have work experience? Have you contacted your college placement service for help? Have you prepared a resume?

Think about and/or act on these things and a direction should suggest itself.

I have two years of full time work experience in law firms. the last position I had, for about a year and a half. I've applied to just about every reasonable opportunity out there and have only secured a part time position with Fed Ex Ground as a Package Handler. My resume is prepared, of course. I have been out of school for seven years, I graduated in 2001. I'm not sure if college placement would be of any help at this point.

Once again, what interests you? Not law, I hope. That said, what work did you do in law firms? Maybe you have transferable skills. Maybe you need to repackage your resume to emphasize your skills. Can you obtain substitute teacher work with your Poli Sci degree? You appear to have writing skills; can't you market those?

Try posting your resume anonymously on the two major job boards. You'll likely receive a bunch of nonsense sales responses, but you may receive something legitimate.

Try applying online to every company you can think of. Many companies let candidates submit general apps. They run keyword searches for candidates that match position criteria.

Once again, it's tough finding work anymore, even for very experienced people.

No one will get you a job. Posters can offer ideas and suggestions. Beyond that, you must have a resume, read ads, find employers and apply for work yourself. Good luck.

If you are a civil engineer, Qassem, you should have a professional engineers organization you can join. You should be able to make contacts and know which companies hire engineers. You should have professional journals to which you can subscribe that would list openings.

nobody can find work, the economy is so jacked up a B.A. is pretty much useless. Right now you need a masters to get anywhere or know the right people

Once again, Qassem, you certainly should know of or be able to find a professional civil engineers organization in Chicago that would have contacs or leads. Do you have the right to work in the U.S.? If you do, that would help, I'm sure.
