Careers & Employment - July 2006

I keep on resigning my good paying jobs. My last recent ones were a couple days ago . . . I worked as an officer assistant with this ugly mid-aged monster. I have to say that no all people are meant to be teachers.-Not all people can teach.

I was this lady’s assistant, during my 1st day, they brought me to my desk where I was seated right next to her in this miserable room. (Two of us only) I said to myself, “Gosh, I am someone’s else bit(h”.

Part of me, did not feel comfortable because of the following reason:
1. I have a management degree. I should have people reporting to me not the other way around.
2. She is ugly as I said before.
3. Most people I worked with, they might be having a “wiggie” in their as_S.
4. They are not funny people.
5. They do not know how to teach.

Anyway, this lady was not mean to me in anyway. I feel that she piled up my work too fast, and make it worse, she does not provide good instructions on how to do things.
It is like going to school . . . What is the point if the teacher does not teach well, how do you expect students to learn?

Most of the time, while working with her, I tried to figure out on how to do the works she assigned to me. Part of me made me angry. I managed to live two working days with her.

I do not know either the problem is me or the jobs that I held. As of right now. I am trying to get a job as a Correctional Officer or Truck driving. I guess I am not an office person.

Do you have any feedbacks on this?

I have spent over 15 years working in customer service. All of working experience has been in retail sales and support. Over the past 8 yeas I have been working in Technical Support, IT Support and Network Support. All I know these days is how to work with customers to resolve technical problems. Now I want to break into Technical Sales, but without the inside/outside sales experience I am not sure how to grab an employer’s attention. I am confident enough with my customer service skills and am an excellent communicator, but I do lack the “Sales” experience. What can I put on my resume to emphasize my customer service background and make an employer realize that I am a worthy candidate for a sales position?

After an extensive interview and going a total of 4 hours of testing I was offered the postion. I REALLY want to take it because it will be a step up. The company contacted me, not the other way around so I know they need me. Only problem is that they are offering me the same salary that I am currently making. How can I get them to go up? And staying at this job is not an option I want to consider.

I have an interview in one week for a good opportunity with a better company. I really want this job~~I have been recommended from within by a friend who is upper management; I've had a phone interview and made a good impression; I have a great suit with some good accessories. NOW ALL I NEED IS A STRATEGY FOR THE INTERVIEW!

The position is a sales job, telesales for a niche market. I would be selling additional product to existing clients, plus contacting new and existing leads for on-site sales calls for the sales manager.

The sales manager already interviewed me via phone. He asked me about my organizational skills, my telephone experience, why I want to work for the company, what my career goals are, why I feel I'm the best for the position. Not in that order, but you get the idea.

Does anyone have any practical experience with a sales job interview? Interviewers, what ?'s have you asked, and Interviewees, what do you recall...and did you get the job?

THANKS!!!

I have done 3 interviews for an entry-level job. The first was a screening interview, the 2nd an interview with the boss, and the 3rd interview where I sat in the office and got to know the work and the other employees. When I left, the boss told me that I did a great job, and that he knew the other employees thought I was a great fit, which is what the job is all about. Then he told me he'd be in touch with me. It has now been a week and I have heard nothing. The employees told me the next step is a social interview which is critical, but when may this happen? I know the guy is still interviewing, and is planning on hiring 2-3 people, but when can I expect to hear by? Also, I sent him a thank you email 2 business days after the interview just to stay in touch and have still not heard either way. Is it a lost cause?

I had to word this strangely because others had asked...What was your worst job ever? what did you have to do?...Can you beat mine? For 7 years I worked with the developementally disabled. My work was one disaster after another. I had to take one client at a time out and they had to work volunteer jobs. Of course, they could not do these jobs so I did the Volunteer job while they would wonder around disturbing everyone. It was terrible trying to keep them under control. I had clients who were physically combative and who would swear at total strangers. Once I was volunteering at a park and my client came out of the bathroom covered in po since he was a guy it was a disator..eventually i began to try to avoid other people in the community because it always turned out badly. My job was to force my clients upon the community. I am free now and working with a higher functioning group and i enjoy my job.

Okay so Im stuck in a delima which most people wouldnt see as a hard decision to make..lol. My husband is in Iraq, he comes home in November, and I return to Washington State in October to set up the apartment before he returns.

Now....I can't decide if I want to get a Job...reason being, Im in school...online distance college. I have 2 children a 5 month old and a 2 1/2 year old.

I don't want to be confined to my house with 2 kids and school for the next year to year and a half until my college is complete.

If I get a job, I have to pay for childcare, and these days most jobs only pay enough so that you can pay for childcare and you usually don't have any extra money for bills or accessories.

How do I juggle a job, 2 kids, a husband and school and yet make enough money to pay for childcare, help with bills and the occasional shopping?

I had an interview over a month ago...have been contacted by the employer once to let me know they were still deciding...
Is it the usual practice to let someone know either way? It seems the professional thing to do , doesn't it?
