January 19, 201114 yr I'm graduating in June from UC with my BS in Urban Studies. Looking for job opps in Cincinnati. Interested in transportation, mainly. Aside from the City and SORTA, what other companies in Cincinnati do urban planning work in transportation? I don't know Neville..............but you might want to look at some of the mega architectural engineering firms, most will be publicly traded. I am talking about the firms that do really big projects like URS Corporation and their competitors. In this economy I wouldn't be concerned with "transportation" only, just get in somewhere. Large Commercial real estate developers might be an option, Hines etc. research "REITs", real estate investment trusts. I am in the Commercial RE consulting brokerage business, and you do see some former Architects, lawyers, Urban Planning types move over to this industry. The larger firms are JLL, CBRE, Colliers, Cushman Wakefield, etc. Individual offices vary quite a bit. I am a 89' DAAP grad.

April 11, 201114 yr I'm currently looking for a "better opportunity". One that is closer to home is key, if I can take public transit, that's even better. I have a B.A. in a liberal arts area, love writing and books, have plenty of office skills, and just looking for something different. Any suggestions?
April 13, 201114 yr While I totally understand the desire for a change of scenery, my suggestion is to get a better idea of what you *really* want to do, and find ways to distinguish yourself from those who are looking for the same kind of positions. It doesn't have to be "_____ is the job I want so much I'm willing to do it until I retire", but "I really enjoy _____ and I've tried to hone my talents accordingly." clevelandskyscrapers.com Cleveland Skyscrapers on Instagram

May 22, 201213 yr What's everyone's thoughts on Linkedin? I just created a profile, added like 100 connections from undergrad, grad school, previous jobs, current connections, etc. So now what? What do other people use it for besides keeping in touch?
May 22, 201213 yr I use Linkedin fairly often. I've used it as a mecahnism to stay in touch with existing business contacts, to connect with new contacts, and I've gotten a fair amount of job opportunities as a result of it as well. It's a worthwhile endeavor. I don't use it to keep in touch with anyone personally. I try to keep it strictly for business purposes.
June 9, 201213 yr I guess you just need to be clear right off the bat that you are in no way in a hiring decision-making role at the organization. I know the feeling though; when 5 people come in asking for a job and I've sold like $12 worth of stuff that day it's easy to get cranky. But you can't blame someone for looking for work.
June 9, 201213 yr Many career counselors advise students to seek out others in their profession or who are alumni to network and discuss the field and how things go. My guess is that absent any available/open positions, they're not trying to press you in particular for a job opportunity at your job, but to work on building a contact list and to learn more from people already out working in the field. You might, for example, be able to steer them clear of a particular company well-known to chew people up and spit them out in one year increments. Or be able to advise them what other types of jobs you had to take (or they could take) if they aren't immediately able to start working in exact job they want. You're under no obligation to meet with anyone, regardless of how they got your information, but I wouldn't be surprised if alumni organizations aren't just handing over their lists of contacts to recent grads and saying, "Go, network with these people." You'd be surprised how few actually do this, even when they are handed leads. But it won't hurt you to meet with them either. Who among us doesn't need more professional business contacts. And those junior to us could easily be our bosses in a few years. Or their Dad is already, or cousin, or uncle.
