The problem you first have to send money to get the details

I was just offered a job after 3 interviews and tests. After each meeting I e-mailed a thank you to the person in charge of the interviews. Today I got the job! Yay!

Now, do I just not contact them for the 2 weeks before I start there, or would it be nice to send a card or something?

I'm job hunting. After submitting my resume to a company in response to an ad, I do a follow-up call a week or two afterward. How many times should I follow up via calling or e-mail? I'm getting tired of this. I don't enjoy this and I may be getting on the person's nerves.

Same question about cold calling. I've done it recently to get some freelance work. I targeted some places and called each one once a week for about 4 weeks. I got some no's (where I reached the target person), one maybe (but the guy gave me the creeps so I deleted him off the list), and some nonresponses. I've alternated between e-mails and phone calls. Usually I have to leave a message. Do I continue calling the people who have not responded? I feel like I'm hassling them. Obviously, cold calling is new to me, and I don't like it, but if that's what you have to do, then okay, I'll do it.

When do you stop calling? People can respond to my e-mails, thereby avoiding a call from me. But they don't. What do I do?

I am planning on majoring in engineering, but I don't know what type would be best for me. I love math and science (but sciece just because it uses a lot of math). I'm good at solving problems and being creative. The environment doesn't really interest me and although I use computers a lot, I'm not good at doing anything except basic tasks on them (so no programing). At this point in time, I'm definitely leaning towards aerospace, but I've been told that job options are limited and I should rethink my decision. Please help me, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Oh by the way, I've taken biology, chemistry, and calculus ab and gotten 5's on all the tests. I really like calc and I'm currently taking calc bc.

I'm answering supplemental questions for a city position. The job posting mentions to avoid answering the 5 questions with more than 3 pages. It doesn't specify if I have to double space or not. Do I have to single space, double space, or does it even matter? Thanks for your help! Greetings! =)

I got new job waiting tables, and this afternoon, my job called and talked to my roomate, asking if I would skip class to work. Also, we are supposed to be oncall sometimes to work. I will not skip class for work. I told them my availavility when they hired me. Am I being difficult, or are they being unreasonable?

I read a statistics that 47% of people surveyed by a career development agency were found to be dissatisfied with what they do to earn a living. It didn't say what the total number of people surveyed was or who they were, but to me the accuracy of this information is less important, because I happen to relate to this conclusion.

I have been told many, MANY times I begin in the wrong place looking for a career. MONEY! I look at the salary/hourly wage. If it doesn't meet a certain amount I don't evebn give the job a second look. NO WAY! I got bills I GOT to pay! I wonder why people don't look at money these days? How do ya survive without enogh money in your budget. Anyway,, my starting point in looking for a career/job is the pay. I don't understand why anyone would look otherwise when ya just got to afford to live somehow.
