I must be getting old. I used to love Fridays. It's not that I don't enjoy the end of the working week, you understand. But by the time I get to Friday these days I'm too knackered to truly relish them.... now tell me what you think by voting on my blog entry "Woohoo! It's Friday!" And say hello while you're there? I don't get many visitors (boo hoo)...

Have anyone done it before? Is it difficult? I've been in graphic design for 10 years and want a change because of the boredom and low pay. Any suggestion?

i work part time and recently i was asked by my employer if i would be interested in a full time opportunity. since i just got by bachelor's degree and college was out of the way, i said that i would be interested. i said that i would be interested and then when the time came closer to discussing and finalizing everything, my employer told me that my hourly rate will be the same except now i can work 5 days a week, full time. was i wrong to assume that since i am going from part time to full time and with a college degree that my rate will go up and that i would be a salaried employee? am i wrong to expect more ( at least salary and benefits since this technically would be a full time job? )help! i am not sure how to interpret this. thanks for any feedback.

There is a shelter in town that is hiring a secretary/recptionist. The shelter is a women's shelter that I have gone to for a support group, most recently last evening. I really enjoy the people that work there and I feel the need to help women that have been through my situation or something similar. Do you think it would be appropriate to disclose that I have come from a domestic situation similar to what they treat/help at the shelter? Should I disclose that I have went to one of their support groups? I feel like I should explain this to them and that I greatly benefit from the support and that I want to work in a position to return the support to others? Is this corny or hokey? lol

I have a great new job... pays better than I've ever made before. I love the people and all of that jazz but here's the deal... my boss's wife is supposed to help in the department I am in when we're too busy to handle it all on our own. She work's from home if need be while she stays home with their kids. Two days ago, I starting having to find little petty crap to do because my boss told me we were out of stuff. Come to find out, he's sending it all home to his wife... so i'm here at my job with nothing but staring at the wall.. while his wife is making money for doing what I am supposed to be doing and is spending it with her kids. What do I do?

I have heard that Mondays are bad days, in that people have the woes of the week ahead of them, so candidates tend to interview less well, and employers are more critical than they might ordinarily be. Anybody aware of any empiriacl or anecdotal evidence to support this view?

My position was recently downsized and I have filed for unemployment. My question is, those of you who have been in this position before, did you find that you made more money existing off of unemployment, or working though temp agencies? Any good/bad experiences?

I was fired from my previous position due to performance issues. I don't think they were 100% my fault, but I accept that it was mostly my own fault. For six months I was unable to find a similar job. I had a few interviews, but despite reading all the articles I could about how to deal with the issue in interviews every place I interviewed turned me down because of it.

Now I've been able to find a job, but it's not in the same field as I was in before, and it's not leading to my career getting back to where I want it. I want to find a position with a company in my field, even if it's a few steps down the ladder from where i was, just to prove to them that my performance at the other place is not reflective of who I am. When I go back to contact companies I've previously interviewed with, what should I say? Or should I move on and try to focus on a new career path? I've been turned down by every local comapny in my field, and I'm not willing to relocate.
