re: Job search with finance degree

Did you go to class at LSU, or did you do some kind of online thing?

I would have thought LSU would have helped you in this process. Business schools generally have career development people that bring companies onto campus for networking and interviews, help you with job searches and resume writing, etc.

Have you looked into any of this stuff? For what you just paid LSU, you shouldn't be going into this cold.

Beyond that... you might have to leave Louisiana. This just isn't a good market for decent entry-level biz degree jobs. We just don't have the corporate base here - which not only elimiates big corps as employers - but also means we don't have the banks, analysts, etc. Small firms, by and large, don't like to train new people.

I know so many people in finance accounting, economics, even marketing, that had to leave the state for a few years to get experience. Then, when you have 5 years exp here, you can work anywhere you want in the state.

With your military background, I'd contact all of the military contractors (Northrup Grumman, etc) as well as the big aeorspace companies. But again, you are looking a corporate job... and that means out of state.

Good luck!
