I've never had a job before and I hardly know what I'll need to go through. I know that I need a resume, but I don't know what to put. I don't have any previous experience, I haven't done any volunteer work or anything like that, and my skills are extremely generic and common(like using a computer/internet, typing, etc). What can I put on my resume?

My boss is just really awful, mean, unpredictable, and irrational, and she makes work a living hell. But I have to stay on her good side to get a recommendation from her when I leave at the end of January! (In my field, you can't really make it without recommendations/ connections.)

So I have 5 months left, and it seems like an eternity of despair. Any ideas on how to survive without getting too crazy, stressed out, and bitter???

I've been told that it's all in my head and that really I'm not sexy at all. I've been told women don't like blondes and surfers but who here actually thinks I sound sexy. I'll give a description and try not to lie.

I'm 6'3'', blonde with brown eyes. I'm Australian and yeah I do surf. I'm not as pale as my avatar. I'm atheletic and trim and my teeth are straight. I can't think of anything else right now.
Now, i don't want to hear from bitchty men and no I don't have a photograph cos then everyone would recognise me and I wouldn't be able to ask all the dumb questions I ask.
And yeah i do have bad points, my nails are bitten down to the root and i do drink a bit too much at times but i'm sober now.
I'm really lazy as well.......but apart from that, who actually thinks I sound sexy or attractive?
Ultimately....are blonde guys that bad?

I know a company in Detroit area who has a discriminatory hiring policy. Some of their policies are,

They refuse to hire minorities with better education (some college experience) or leadership skills who has a potential for job advancement. Their excuse, “people from that background would leave us” (note: people from any background would go for better job offer).

They don’t hire people from a particular minority background anymore (seriously it was told by the manager).

Even when it comes to submitting the application form (or getting it in the first place) minorities often have to face with some obstacles (from the HR or managers) slowing or jeopardizing their chance to getting a job on that place.

People have to submit their SS# on the form but there's no mentioning of background checks on the form.

What do I do (I don't have access to a lawyer).

I am applying to jobs, and many listings do not mention anything about providing cover letter, I think it is better to have one, although many friends tell me that all I have to do is send my resume...thanks

I hated my job so I quit and now I'm barely making enough to pay my bills at my new job, I'm sick of it! I've heard of working at home jobs but I just feel like I'm gonna get caught in a scam...especially the ones where you have to pay first. Does anyone know of any legitimate work at home jobs?

You would think people who are working as investment bankers and securities analyst, even currency traders would all be millionaires, since they know how to make money for other people, but why aren't they?

I recently left a city that I loved for family reasons. It's supposed to be temporary. So, I've signed on with a few temp agencies so I can work to earn the money to go back. It's been a month and NOTHING. I'm still applying for other jobs. I have plenty of marketable skills. I just want to go back! How long before they contact you? Is it harder in the summer?

My boss' son likes to come into the office when we are closed and use the computer (he surfs the internet and downloads songs), he does not work here. One weekend, I cleared the history and temp files, etc (normal behavior for me)...he was all pissed off because I did that. He doesn't use bookmarks. He just goes to the search bar. My boss thought clearing out all that internet junk was "asinine", and that her son thought I had something to "hide". She asked me if I had a pc at home. What difference does that make? I should have asked if he had one at home!
I've also found his beer in the company refrigerator. Obviously his mom lets him do whatever he wants, without consequnce. What would you do?

I hate my job. Actually to be fair, its not my job, it's the people. I know in whatever field I am in, there is always office politics, but I've become so jaded and lack so little motivation in my job. The people are witches (the rhyming word is what I am refering to). The communication sucks, and the woman are unbearable. It is never fair at work. It's like if it is the right thing to do they do the complete opposite. Also, if you are of lower rank, automatically you get no respect. I know it isn't just me this happens to, but I am fed up and at times I just want to quit. How do you cope in these types of situations?

Sits near you...but you can't see them. However, whenever you get off of a phone call--they come ask you questions about things you were talking about on the phone. I deal with alot of business proposals and media inquiries. Most of my convo's are propietary and confidential.
