I would check out Working Mother Magazine.. Every year they list off the best 100 companies for working mothers. While I understand at 23 you probably are not a mom yet, you may very well want to become one in the future, so you shoudl check out the companies that will allow you to be both a professional Super Star and a soccer mom. Also - check into recruiting companies. A good recruiter in the area will know which companies are looking for Minority applicants, and which one's are not. At this point just make sure if you get a job you dedicate 3 years to it - you do not want to be a job jumper. Good luck to you.

Most of the companies you mentioned will be looking for experience along with your degree. I would advise you check into internship programs at some companies; you might have to start off with a beginners position to prove yourself and work your way up from there. Be confident when you interview; let them know what you can bring to their company. If they say you don't have enough experience; you could say, "that might work to your advantage. Since I don't have much experience anything learned from your company will be done how you want it; not how I learned it somewhere else....." Something like that just might get you in the door. Good luck to you.

The Working Mother Magazine survey has just been updated, so I would definitely check that out. As an aside, I think that you should take some time to think about what you want to DO with your career and life. "Business Administration" is not a career, nor is it a proper goal. What motivates you? What gets you out of bed in the morning without an alarm clock? Investing the time to answer those questions will pay back big dividends down the road. Do you like talking with people and selling things? Try the big drug companies, like Pfizer or Astra-Zeneca. A personable, motivated college grad can earn $50,000+ right out of college. They hire a lot of women as well. If you are into finance or investing (and selling), you can join one of many financial advisor programs, such as Merrill Lynch or Edward Jones. Do you like marketing or product development? Try Procter and Gamble. They have a great college hiring system and promote from within. Capital One is also a great place to learn marketing. The company also has a strong effort to promote diversity in hiring. Do you like more operational type jobs? Try retailers like Target or Nordstrom. Just choosing "a great company with benefits" won't get you very far if you don't have an interest in what that company does. The book, "What color is Your Parachute" could help you with these issues as well.

I want to do a HR Management degree. In the eyes of my employer, would the degree or uni be most important

I want to do a HR Management degree. In the eyes of my employer, would the degree or uni be most important?
I'm thinking of doing the HR Management course in my local area, but all 4 universities are ranked less than 70 in the Guardian uni rank list. Would my future employer sneer upon my choice of uni or be most interested in my degree?

He'd be far more interested in your experience. HR Management isn't an entry-level job, degree or not. The real key will be to collect some real-world HR experience either through a part-time job or an internship. You're also likely to find that most HR folks don't have an undergrad degree in HR. They either worked up from support functions or came to business from the social sciences.

Can I work in Fashion PR with a Fashion Management degree

Can I work in Fashion PR with a Fashion Management degree?
I'm studying Fashion Management after which I'll get a BA degree. But I'm planning to work in the fashion PR field (just I don't have the opportunity to study that in my country). Can I do that with my degree if, for example, I get relevant job experience or if I attend an intensive summer program, or do I have to attend a full Fashion PR course? Thanks!!

You "can" but you probably won't. Any degree in "Fashion" usually leads to low-pay, dead-end, high-pressure jobs, often ending in unemployment. It's a major mistake to attend Fashion School.

You're going to need at least a 4-year degree to manage a store, a 2-year degree will be worthless.

Do you work for either company now? If not, you may want to fill out an application ASAP and check to see if they have a management training program. Unless you have extensive management experience spanning 10+ years at another store and an MBA from Harvard, it is HIGHLY unlikely you can just walk into a Sephora or Bath & Body Works and become a manager without a company specific program...especially if you only have a 2-year degree. I worked retail for 6 years (Price Chopper and Stop & Shop, which are both grocery stores) and both of them had a management training program -- that was the only way to become a manager -- and unless you had a 4-year-degree, you pretty much had to work there first to be considered for the program. Pretty much the process went like this: 1. Start off working part time OR graduate from a 4 year program in business. 2. Apply to the management training program. 3. Be accepted into the management training program. 4. Successfully complete the management training program (could be up to 2 years). 5. Work as an assistant manager and wait for a management position to open (positions open all the time, but those without experience will likely not be offered the position right away). 6. Apply for management position and hope you're the best qualified applicant at that time. 7. Keep your position because managers tend to be bounced from store to store every few years My best friend waited 3 years to become a manager after completing the company program (she had a B.S. in business and worked for the company for 7 years). Another friend of mine is on year 5 waiting and he's hoping he's next in line for a management position (he doesn't have a degree, but has been working for Walgreens for 8 years and is on the last level of assistant manager before becoming manager).

What is the advantage of having a business administration degree as well as a business of management degree

What is the advantage of having a business administration degree as well as a business of management degree?
I've already recieved my business admin degree with my major in accounting...is it a good idea to take the extra yr to get a business management degree or will the major in accounting be sufficient enough alone?

Depends on what you want to do. Your B.S. in accountancy should be sufficent enough. Instead of taking an extra year to double in Management, you might as well check into B school and get your MBA. (Two year program).
