Not for everyone, but here's one for jobs in the golf industry.

Beware, prospective club/teaching pros, you have to pass a playing-ability test before getting full certification. That ended my quest.

Man? Well, then.

I haven't been around here long (see: post count). Is Cadet a wo-man?

 

[Moderator1]

Cadet is a woman and one who knows her stuff.
But I suspect the man in the post above as a generic man and not a "you're a man" man!

If anyone needs LSAT advice or thoughts on the legal profession, PM me. I'm heading to a good law school, and am pretty well researched as far as that transition goes.

Thanks, Moddy. I've also been known to respond to a generic "dude!"

I don't know if anybody would be interested, but I'm about to start reading "What Color is Your Parachute," and I'd be more than happy to setup a group to discuss it somewhere -- on a thread here, on facebook, in an AIM chat room.

Count me in if and when such a group is set up. I have the book and have read halfway through. I see it not as a book you read once and put away, but as a resource you go back to on an ongoing basis if you're on the job hunt and/or looking to change job fields.

A bit of good advice I read on that site:

Before you leave the company and go to a new employer, ask HR about a HIPAA Certificate for your insurance company. This has to do with moving all your records — including those of an existing, covered condition — with you to a new employer's insurance company. It means in most cases, they can't deny coverage for something that was already being covered by a previous insurer.

Dental or vision, or long-term health care may be exempt from HIPAA and there are other time-imposed restrictions. Google it for more info, but get the HIPAA order now.
