Tryin' to get real tips from real people.

Don't ask "what job!" I'm looking for general suggestions:

But if you're interested--think general office/desk job, big building, not too many people to 'hang out' with, and a lot of time must basically be 'accounted for'. :P

Thanks! :D I'm interested in hearing what YOU do.

My employer has yet to sign the release paper for my 401K after 2 attempts. I have called them and she told me she has 90 days to sign the paper.....that was 5 months ago. Is there someone I can contact to get more info besides a lawyer. I was told the Labor Department but unsure. Thanks in advance!

Some other person will help walk me thru the interview & testing then should i risk taking a day off unpaid & i only started the job i have now 1 month ago? is this interview likely not to work out for me & a waste of my time, effort & money if the prospective employer wont even be there.

Something that has to do with the intended major? Besides a bank teller.
Thanks.

I find it kind of hard to get a job. But when I have one it seems so easy to lose. Hmmmmmm! You say lose ? HuH ! Yes but of I would say not of my own fault right ! Right ! A companies turn over rate is higher than thier employment rate. Think about it ! I mean for someone like me I have some college under my belt but no degree, but I work well with others as well as alone. Wait ! Back to my point; when trying to get a job you are like everyone who is applying to the same position unless you know someone who can get you in or you pay a person to get you inside. So here I am waiting for some company to get me my big break on the casting couch; just to get rid of me when they have no use for me any longer, or someone is an a**, or cutbacks are needed or the one I love -you are to qulified for the job.

What do you do when your boss fails to acknowledge your request for more accommodations, like a good chair with back support??

I should have clarified that question: I was not looking to look on the internet for jobs to work at home, but if anyone had real jobs they did at home, i.e., medical transcription, research, detective work, etc. I wanted to see if any people worked at home through well known, legitimate, established companies doing any jobs that are currently being done at home. I know that there is a growing trend to have people work from home. I know all about the scam jobs and I thank all that answered my question.

I was fired from a job for unwarranted reasons. They told me that, "I did not seem interested my job." Today I had an interview with another company and they asked me if it was OK to call my last job. I figured that I had to say yes. How will the conversation go on both sides?
