Where are the best places to look for a Job when you have a Business Management degree


Where are the best places to look for a Job when you have a Business Management degree?
I have a Bachelors degree in Business Management and I need a job in that field very soon. It has been two years since I have gotten this degree and finding a job is really hard, even though our economy is tough I just want to know where to look.

Look everywhere. Monster, CareerBuilder, HotJobs, your local newspaper, everywhere. Apply for everything that says it requires a 4 year degree. You may not land a job in your ideal area, but at least you'll have an income coming in. Every business is looking for people who can step up and lead - and your management degree shows that you have the capacity to be a leader, even if your degree isn't in the exact field they're looking for.

Whatever you do, unless you have previous experience, STAY OUT OF FOOD SERVICE!!!!!! As a 15 year veteran of food service, let it be known WE HATE BUSINESS DEGREES. There is a sound reason for this. Most people with business degrees have no idea what to do & they are usually hired as management. The only problem with this idea is that, if you don't know the job from the ground up, no one will respect you. For example, I worked at a well-known Mexican food (Americanized) restaraunt. We had a man come in as a manager who had never worked in food service in his life. He spent 25 years in military intelligence and another 10 years in the Secret Service. Obviously, he should be able to handle anything, right? He started smoking 3 packs a day, after only 3 weeks on the job & he had stopped smoking 20 years ago!!! After 3 months on the job, he had a nervous breakdown & ended up in a mental ward for a year. We were so proud. If you want to be in food service and have any sense, apply for management and request that you start as a crew member to learn the job and work your way to the management position in 2 months. I did this the last job I had in food service and, after the 2 months were up, moved up and had no issues with the crew as I had proved myself and showed I did not look down on them, after all, how could I if I had been down with them? The other management trainee that started the same time I did came in as management directly. She did not see me moved up because she had been run out of the company before I got the "promotion". A degree is useful, if used correctly. If you can keep your head out of your @$$, then food service is really the place to make serious money. A junior manager can start out at nearly $40,000 depending on the market and a senior manager and approach $80,000. Yes, I am serious.
