I beleive I was incorrectly placed in Special Ed?

We Answered:

If you have had special education services in the United States, you are entitled to education through age 21 and should have had an appropriate Individualized Education Plan plus a Transition Plan to help you either go to work or go for further education. If you are below that age, you can request further help. It sounds like you may have been in a district where there are not sufficient resources for the many varieties of services needed so you wound up in a "generic" class - which is absolutely no excuse for your being educated incorrectly. It is the LAW for you to have been in the least restrictive environment, as close to your peers as possible.It is the LAW that you and your family be invited to a yearly meeting to discuss your progress and plans for the following year, There should have been plans to re-assess you at least once in 3 years or more often if needed..

A good way to continue your education is to go to Junior or Community College. You do not have to have SAT scores at all, you can go as slowly as you like, and there are usually many remedial classes you can take to get up to speed. Some of these two year schools also provide additional help/tutoring/accommodations for students who ever have been identified as having a disability. Some have certificates leading to good trades as well as academic studies. A young friend of mine took four years to complete the first two years and then went on to finish her her BA degree at a four year school (check to see what you would need to take in Jr. Coll to be sure you meet the 4 year school's requirements). She was able to work part-time and still maintain her grades.
I am so sorry you have not had a good experience, but please don't give up. If you wrote your question yourself, I have to tell you that your writing is a whole lot better than that of many of the mainstream students! You seem to have well-organized thoughts and good intelligence. I think you will be successful in life if you hang in there! Good luck

Divorcee Job Hunt Need Help?

We Answered:

Just because you were self-employed doesn't mean you can't get your job history onto a resume. You will just need to come up with some business and personal references (3 each should do the trick for a total of 6) that can attest to you being dependable, having a strong work ethic, that kind of thing. But you simply list from this date to that date, the company name and list your responsibilities to the best of your ability.

You can include your military experience. Do not provide your salary requirements in your resume. You can research the average salaries on the internet and get an idea what jobs offer what ranges and focus your energies where the best paying jobs are. Leave the actual money and benefit discussion for the interview. Most job listings will tell you salary range, benefits or both.

Your best bet for looking for work is to narrow down your skill sets. From what you've listed, it looks like you have good organizational skills, you have excellent writing skills, can multi-task, you enjoy public speaking and presenting, and you have retail experience. Here are some key questions: do you know any current applications for computers (such as MicroSoft office)? Do you have good keyboarding skills (can you type quickly and accurately)? Those will certainly give you more options if you have computer and keyboarding skills.

I am 42 years old, divorced, have no college and I make more than your salary requirements state. Unless you are looking to get into a big corporation or need specific skills (i.e. lawyer or doctor), college degrees - or lack thereof - don't necessarily dictate your ability to obtain gainful employment.

Your best bet would be to get your resume in order then search on sites like Monster.com and Careerbuilders.com. Take a look in the retail industry at the manager level if you can't type and don't know current computer applications. In my state (NJ), starting salaries for retail managers in the malls are in the $40's and chances are, boutiques will pay even better. If you can type and know computers, you can look into Customer Service management, Executive Assistants or Sales (either inside or outside). You will more than likely have to partially pay for your healthcare benefits, so keep that in mind when discussing your salary. Stock options and/or 401K's are pretty common in most companies.

Email me your email address (ericat@mnbcorp.com) and I'll send you an example of how you should set up your resume and a good cover letter. What you've got above isn't going to get you anywhere. Employers want things in bullet points, short and sweet and your resume cannot exceed one page. And it's ok to sell yourself. Don't be so honest that you miss an opportunity!
