Is there any difference between a university and a college?

I never knew the answer to this question. However, if there is a difference, I think a university would just mean having a bigger population and a college would be smaller? In other words, a university will obviously have more students and a college will have less. This is just something that...

Are there any jobs that will hire a college student fresh out of school without any experience?

Currently, I have been searching on websites like indeed.com for applying to jobs/careers. I read through everything and then when I get to the requirements area I am told that I need this many years of experience. I understand that experience is vital, very important to have but will I ever...

What is the proper way to dress for an interview?

I have had quite a few interviews in the past where I always wore a nice polo collard shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes. It was never anything different. However, now that I am graduating and taking on a "real professional" interview I guess we should say, do I need to change up my attire? Do...

I live in Bayville, New Jersey. I heard that jobs down here will pay less money than jobs further north near the Hoboken, Jersey City, NYC areas. Is this fairly true?

It really makes me wonder how this can be. I mean, its got to be common sense because further north means more people and more business. Personally, I would not want to change locations for work just for better income. People always tell me to go north because that is where the money is. I get...

Are you allowed to put any of your professors down as references for applying to job?

I have never actually asked any of my professors this question. To me it sure seems like a very good idea because they are the ones who see how dedicated you are, motivated, and willing you are to work. Not to mention all the effort and devotion you put into your grades. I hope that this can...
