Careers & Employment - July 2006

I am having a VERY difficult time getting chosen for a job because of my past employer. I was hired for an Admin Asst. but was quickly moved to "receptionist". After putting up with it for 10 plus months, I decided I had to quit and move on. My old boss was PISSED and said he would do everything he could to make it hard for me to find a new job. (He is a very mean-spirited person) whom no one in the office really likes. He has done this to many women before me and I was told I was the one who "lasted the longest" under his "control".

Since leaving there, I have had to list him as my previous supervisor ( because he was ) and he is telling potential employers inappropriate and untruthful things about me.

What can I do to stop this? I need some good advice so he stops doing this, he's ruining my life and I don't even work there any more.

Thank you for any/all responses.

Ashley

I am applying for a job and had two interviews already. so far i have done quite well. Today i recieved in the mail, an application and a some sort of waiver to allow them to check criminal history, driving record, and credit history. The job is for an entry level data entry position. its not a great job, or job that requires a degree. So its not anything to make a career out of. What i am wondering is, do they really check all of that stuff? The job requires no driving at all so i am curious as to why they need to know about my driving record, and why they would check my credit? Is this something the employer would really check? They are a small company.

I work full time and go to Indiana University Full time. I'm also married, but no children yet thank goodness. I'm finishing up my Secondary Education Physics and Chemistry degree. I guess I've always been the good girl. I wish I was more of a risk taker. I'm not sure. Maybe my life is interesting even if I don't know it. The worst part of my life is my job... my boss treats everyone like they aren't good enough. I've thought about leaving, but I feel like I shouldn't because of the money and my 4 years there. I only have a year left in college. Thanks for your help! Have a great day!

I applied to like 3 different places, but none of them seemed to have the hours I necessarily wanted, but I never even got a call from anyone anyways to even see what hours they were hiring for...I'm so depressed. I love working and helping others and am a hard worker and well qualified. I can probably get the hours I want if I just get a job at walmart as a cashier for now, but my mom doesn't want me working at walmart, she says its not a good places for me to be working. What should I do? I feel horrible about this situation.

I could imagine Him being an architect for a global software firm and get the prestigious title by Forbes magazine as the richest man on earth.

Alternatively, which industry would Satan work at? I bet it would be the legal industry.

What do you think?
