Most major companies have positions that fit your goals, I would suggest using corporate websites, most of them have positions listed on their webistes. Resume preparation is extremely important. A job objective should be included and should be customized; depending upon the job you are applying for. The resume should be brief, and give an employer reasons to hire you. Check carefully for spelling and grammatical errors. I know from experience, the first glance of the person reading your resume will be to find reasons not to hire you. Employers receive hundreds of resumes, and the first screening is to disqualify applicants, so be guided accordingly. The actual search should include contacts that you have developed relationships, and work for a company that you would enjoy working for. Many times it is who you know, not what you know. Head hunters in your field of employment can be found by googling them, and are a good source. There are websites like Monster.com, Salesladders.com, headhunters.com, careerbuilder.com, are another source for leads. If you have other questions, feel free to email me at: yanknole@aol.com.

Hi:

Congrats on achieving your MBA. With your MBA in Education the obvious question would be why not go into teaching High School or College? Another possibility would be to work with OSHA; safety, security and risk management experience is likely a match for this agency. Just a thought.
