I have only had one other job, but I am President of Future Business leaders of America, Class Treasurer, Managing Editor of the school Yearbook, and have been a camp counselor for three summers. All the basic Resume templates focus on experience and I do not want that to hold me down since I am applying for a more mature job. I also have 3 Letters of reccomendation. Is this okay? What can I do to make my resume better for me? Help!

You have applied for a job as a reporter for a newspaper. Your journalistic skills are excellent; however you are not a touch typist, and your typing speed is very slow. For this reason, the managing editor is reluctant to hire you at the position's salary. How would you react to the situation? Is the editor right? Should keyboarding skills be a requirement for a job? Would you be willing to learn how to type or accept the job at a lower salary?

I'm a volunteer sportswriter for my campus paper, and earlier this week, the section editor told us that the managing editor has decided to eliminate the sports section. School games will still be covered, and our health and fitness columnist will keep her job, but all sports-related articles will be integrated into a new "culture and lifestyle" section, or the comments section if they're editorials. A couple of us met with the managing editor today, and she said that she didn't believe anyone reads the paper solely for the sports section; giving us our own section at the back of the paper would be some form of exclusion. As it stands, we get two pages per issue, and the arts and culture section gets eight. The ratio of arts writers to sportswriters is about 2 to 1; we want proportional representation. If you read the paper according to her new idea, would you like seeing sports articles scattered throughout "culture and lifestyle?" Why or why not?

I'm currently a senior in high school. I live in Pennsylvania. I am currently planning to attend Point Park University in Pittsburgh this coming fall for journalism. However, I really want to move to Colorado and I want to either be a teacher or journalist. I am looking to possibly transfer to the University of Denver my sophomore year and maybe even double major in journalism and history education. How are teaching and journalism jobs in Colorado. If I am a teacher I would want to be a high school history teacher.

I'm hoping to enter the job market very soon after a long stint as a homemaker. I have some customer service and technical editor experience under my belt from a trillion years ago, but that's about it. I need to somehow manage to find a job to support a family on nothing more than a bachelor's degree in a useless major [Anthropology] and very little work or technical experience. Is it possible in this market? What areas/occupations should I look into?

I want to go into print journalism, but as I look at colleges, I've noticed that some schools have a Communications program instead of Journalism, and some have both. What are the differences? Which program would I be better off looking into so far as getting jobs after college? Can you reccommend a school?
