I couldn't be more proud and I was so excited to see Joe Biden eat Sarah Palin for dinner tonight during the VP debates!  She danced around the questions, as he accepted them graciously by replying with the TRUTH about his ticket mate and my man Barrack Obama's voting record and the Maverick John McCain's voting record while being in the senate!  I know for a fact that what he was saying is true because I stumbled across a very interesting website that exposes both candiates' voting records.  In fact, you can find out how your candidate voted on a multitude of issues, whether the vote was taking place at the state or federal level.  In fact, you can find out what the voting record is for any politician that works for the American people on a state or federal level.  The website is www.smartvote.org   I urge EVERY American to go to this website and get the facts for yourself!

 

Peace and Love,

Hello Memphis,

I was just wondering if there are any educated people in the area that are in need of a job?  I am a recent graduate of the University of Memphis.  I received my Master's Degree in Professional Studies/Strategic Leadership, and I have not been able to find any jobs that are not warehouse positions.  I am currently employed, and love the company that I work for.  However, there is no room for growth and advancement, and I am looking for a company where I can use the education, I spent so much money paying for.

I just don't understand how the Mayor, Willie Herenton, can talk about all of the great things he has done for this city, but there are NO JOBS for educated people such as myself?  What is the mayor doing to bring more executive level jobs to this city, so that he can retain highly qualified and motivated individuals as myself?  I have begun to search in other cities for an executive level job, because I do have enough work experience to back up my degrees.  Does the mayor care that he is quickly losing these individuals as citizens??  I own a home, that I will sell, if I find a position outside of this county, before one inside becomes available.  And I PAY MY PROPERTY TAXES!!!  So the city will surely lose that revenue not just from me, but from lots of other invididuals that just can't find a decent paying job here.

I am the first person to ever receive the Master of Professional Studies Degree from the University of Memphis. I earned this great distinction in May 2008. I hold a bachelor's degree in English, with a concentration in Professional Writing. The masters program that I just completed provided a culmination of study from the Public Relations, Project Planning and Scheduling, Organization Ethics, and Human Resource Management disciplines. I am currently employed as a Payment Services Supervisor for the Advertising Checking Bureau, which is a national advertising co-op and rebate management company, and am looking for ANY opportunities in Memphis, where I can get into either Organization Management, Public Relations, or business ethics.
