Q: If I go into management, what jobs are available for me after school?
I think i decided to major in management rather than education. My only worry is the demand of the job and what jobs are available for me after I get my degree....help!

A: Middle management hell. The fact is most business majors start out there. Working your way up is hard. There are a lot of Jack Welch Wanna-Be's out there. The sad thing is most CEO's were engineering majors during their under grad. I was surprised when I heard this too. Jack Welch was a chemical engineer long before he became CEO of GE. There are plenty of jobs for business majors. Moving beyond middle management is the hard part.

Q: Upper Management jobs in the USA is mostly white because of nepotism and favortism not talent?
I have seen upper whities not being able to look asians or blacks in the eye when dealing in work situations, instead, their is this feeling as if white people don't respect nor approve nor want to work with and be sincerely friendly with other ethnic groups. Whites only deal with the other ethnic groups minimally to get the job done. In other words, White people will consider the ingroup cliche as other whites, and the outside group as differing ethinicities. That is why Upper management is all white all the time, even to this day when you hear that their is no racial discrimination, Whites may not be racist, but it does not take a racist to be a ethnic isolationist for ones own comfort zone.

A: Yes and no to everything you have said. There is racism, but there are also laws against it. Some people are just like that and no matter what you say, it's not going to change them. Not worth the aggrevation and trouble.

Q: Are there many retail management jobs in Portland, or are all of those taken?
I hear there aren't many jobs in Portland, but does that mean professional, or like retail and restaurant servers too? Thanks!

A: I don't think restaurant or retail jobs are hard to find. If you have any experience, you're golden. Good luck!

Q: When the monopoly over good management jobs will be over ?
I find that management positions ar emonopolized by certain people and later on their young relatives and freinds and it seems that the process is being politically correct under the employee reffral program for 500$. How can you break in the job market without a man inside - Is this a free economy or are we in the era of favoratism and corruption ? Same as the monopoly of men over women in top management and boards of directors.

A: The "good old boys" network is always there. It takes places at every level in our society from government, schools, corporations etc. However, there are still plenty of opportunities out there that are based on merits. Look for another job/company. Don't give up. Best wishes.

Q: What is the best time of year to search for retail management jobs?


A: Sorry to disagree with previous answer; the Christmas season is the worst because there are SO MANY people looking for temporary jobs then--as young people do around the end of the school year... The best two times are early January to early February when the Christmas help has gone and sales are in progress; and the late September early October season, when stores add Christmas help ahead of time. Remember, management level employment and looking for a permanent job are different than looking for a temp job in retail as a sales person.

Q: how on earth are you meant to get management training when all management jobs need management experience!?
i dont understand how anyone becomes a manager, no one offers you the chance if you dont have the experience!!! anyone any ideas? please help.

A: the absolute best industry to go into to get management training with no experience is the full service restaurant biz. the problem is you have to start out as a server, host or cook, then work your way up. i can't count the number of chain restaurants that promote from within. i'm not talking fast food, i'm saying bonefish grille, ram, rock bottom, those types. i don't know if corporate restaurant management is your thing, but if you put in the time, other opportunities are sure to open up once you've established yourself.

Q: How to find management or property jobs in languedoc, South of France?
Hi, does anyone know the best recruitment consultant/website/local paper/trade magazines to find a job in the languedoc region in the south of france. I would like to move my young family there and have a property/senior management background. I have spent days on the web and am getting no-where. I would be very grateful for any information.

Q: Where are the best jobs in hotel management & how much do they make?
I'm interested in a career in hotel management. I'm interested in which states the most jobs are located and the salary of someone in such an occupation. Thanks for any info!

A: One of the greatest aspects of hotel management is that YOU can choose where you want to be, and rest assured that there will be work there for you. Of course, the larger the city, the more opportunity for growth and development. In hotel management, the most important element to your growth will be EXPERIENCE. Therefore, getting a four-year degree in hotel management will not be as helpful as four years of experience, but the combination of both degree and experience is very powerful. If you decide to get a degree without getting experience, plan on starting at the bottom of the ladder when you are done. Knowing this, the best places for jobs are those that receive the most tourism/travel business- Las Vegas, New York, Chicago, LA, for example. But there are also great opportunities in smaller areas that rely heavily on tourism: National Parks, Ski Areas, etc. As I said before, choose where you want to go, then look for jobs there. Hotel management salary is average. You WILL NOT become a billionaire in hotel management, but you will also not suffer. Salary ranges from about $25,000 for a small (50 room hotel) to 6 figures for very huge hotels. This amount does vary widely based on your location, of course. Hope this helps, and here is a link for more info: http://www.ahla.com/products_info_center.asp

Q: what are the highesst paying jobs for someone with a business management degree?
I'll be graduating in December with my bachelor's in business management. What type of jobs are the highest paying? Is there really anything in the federal government that I can focus on?

A: The Answer Queen is right. The only truly high-paying occupation is self-employment. Any job you get, you should be thinking about how it can be a stepping stone toward that goal of going into business for yourself. Government jobs tend to be lower-paying than industry, and dead-end to boot. In the meantime, doesn't your college have a career placement service??

Q: What types of jobs can I get with an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Business Management?
I am thinking about getting an Associate in Applied Science Degree in Business Management. What type of jobs could I do with this type of degree? Anything and everything you can think of would be great! Thanks!!

A: Forget the two year degree. Get a four year degree. There are places where you can get an accelerated Bachelors degree in three years. Reason why is simple; once one gets a two year degree and starts working in their field, the ones who are their supervisors will pull them aside and show them their Bachelors (or even Masters Degrees). On the job field I was in, a new boss came in and mandated that all supervisors had to have a Masters Degree to even be considered for supervisory jobs. Check this out...it was on CNN money: Hot 6-Figure Jobs Now by Jeanne Sahadi Tuesday, August 28, 2007 provided by We asked 6FigureJobs.com, TheLadders.com and SimplyHired.com to ferret out $100,000 jobs where there has been a spike in listings in recent months. Here are 5 areas where the demand for talent appears to be outpacing the supply. Technology jobs In the past few years, Fortune 1000 companies have been buying a lot of upgrades and enhancements to their "enterprise resource planning" (ERP) systems, and one of the biggest manufacturers of those systems is SAP, which provides application servers, programming language and related software. That's why both the companies and the consulting firms to which they may outsource some of their technology work are on the hunt for SAP managing consultants, business analysts, partners, workflow experts and technical writers. "Supply and demand is way out of sync," said Jason Hersh, managing partner of recruiting firm KleinHersh International, a member firm of the MRINetwork. More from CNNMoney.com: • 10 Jobs: Big Demand, Good Pay • Salary Secrets and Myths • Best Jobs for the Long Run From finance to human resources to shipping and receiving, "SAP touches all parts of a business," Hersh said. Those who consult on the more technical aspects of SAP systems typically earn between $100,000 to $125,000, Hersh said. Those who manage SAP projects can earn between $125,000 and $150,000, while project managers who serve as liaisons between project teams and clients can earn $150,000 and up. Jobs available at the consulting firms require a lot of travel. But among in-house positions, the need for SAP experts is strongest in the Mid-Atlantic and Midwestern states based on listings at TheLadders.com. Sales jobs Software Enterprise business software makers -- such as SAP, Oracle and PeopleSoft -- are in hot pursuit of sales reps with good track records at their competitors. "All the companies are running around trying to steal (the top sales reps)," said Steve Purello, general manager of 6FigureJobs.com. Those with a good track record and five years' experience can command between $100,000 and $200,000 plus commission. Healthcare The aging of the Baby Boomers has been a boon for pharmaceutical companies, medical device makers and other health-related businesses, which is why they're eager to hire sales representatives and sales managers. A sales manager might make between $100,000 and $140,000, while a regional sales director can make between $120,000 and $150,000, said Greg Lee, managing partner of WorldBridge Partners, a member firm of the MRINetwork. A vice president of sales, products and marketing, meanwhile, can pull down $150,000 to $225,000 plus another 25 percent to 30 percent in bonus, said Matt Lemmons, senior partner of PrincetonOne, also a member firm of the MRI Network. More sales jobs Construction Commercial construction has enjoyed boom times in the past few years and construction firms have expanded to become one-stop shops for clients. They not only want a building built, they want help with design, pre-construction and even property management, said Bobbi Moss, vice president of Govig & Associates, a member firm of the MRINetwork. That's meant more projects and more jobs, particularly for regional sales managers at construction firms' suppliers, Moss said. A regional sales manager might sell to builders directly or through supply distribution channels and can make a base salary between $80,000 and $110,000 plus up to another 30 percent in bonus. Manufacturing Economic growth in the past two years has boosted demand for manufacturing. For example, when a firm does well and decides to expand its office space, commercial furniture manufacturers benefit as do their vendors. That growth has also given a push to more research and development. "Companies have brought a lot of R&D projects out of the moth balls," said Greg Lee, managing partner of WorldBridge Partners, a member firm of the MRINetwork. That's why experienced sales managers who help a manufacturer expand market share and penetrate new markets are in demand, and they've seen their pay go up by as much as 20 percent in the past two years, Lee said. Depending on the size of a manufacturer, field sales managers can earn between $110,000 and $130,000 including commission and bonuses, he said. Other industries Companies most in need of good sales managers can also be found in retail and wholesale; media and telecommunications; food and beverage, manufacturing, and travel, hospitality and tourism. Among the listings on SimplyHired.com, the top locations for sales manager positions are in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Houston. Operations jobs Manufacturing As the demand for manufacturing has grown in the past two years, so have the number of listings for operations managers, vice presidents of quality control and general managers. Operations managers typically run plant maintenance, quality control, purchasing and the technical aspects of product manufacturing. Depending on the size of their firm, they can make between $110,000 and $140,000, said Greg Lee, managing partner of WorldBridge Partners, a member firm of the MRINetwork. Vice presidents of quality control with certification in Quality Management Systems and Lean Manufacturing, which streamlines production flow, boosts quality and reduces costs, can make $150,000 and up. General managers, meanwhile, oversee purchasing, materials, manufacturing, engineering and quality control. For their efforts, they are paid between $120,000 and $200,000. Healthcare Healthcare companies' products and sales team are only as good as their operations teams. And the demand for a good director of operations and vice president of operations is evident among recent six-figure job listings. An operations director may strategize how to commercialize a product, figure out how to move a drug trial from Phase II to Phase III and handle a regulatory filing with the Food and Drug Administration, said Matt Lemmons, senior partner of the healthcare practice at PrincetonOne, a member firm of the MRI Network. A director can pull down between $125,000 and $175,000, while a vice president of operations, to whom the director reports, can make between $150,000 and $225,000 plus another 25 percent to 30 percent in bonus, Lemmons said. Other industries There's also demand for project managers and general managers at companies in media and telecom, retail and wholesale trade, computer and information technology, and banking and finance. Some of the top locations for these jobs can be found in Chicago, Houston and Atlanta, according to SimplyHired.com. Finance jobs - Construction As construction firms expand the services they offer clients, they're also expanding their payroll by creating new entities and new layers of jobs, including many for those who manage the purse strings. At small- to mid-size construction firms, a senior controller can make between $80,000 and $100,000 plus bonus, while a CFO may make between $125,000 and $200,000 plus bonus, said Bobbi Moss, vice president of Govig & Associates, a member firm of the MRINetwork. Engineering jobs - Manufacturing To compete, manufacturers need to further automate the production process and make it more cost-efficient. That has put talented mechanical engineers and robotics engineers in the catbird seat career-wise. Those with five to eight years' experience can make between $80,000 and $110,000, said Greg Lee, managing partner of WorldBridge Partners, a member firm of the MRINetwork. If they're managers and certified in Lean Manufacturing, which uses techniques to streamline production, boost product quality and reduce costs, they can make between $110,000 and $130,000.
