Careers & Employment - September 2006

It's natural to try a few different hairstyles until you find something you like and decide to stick with it. For men, this can include facial hair. I'm not into the full beard, nor the mustasche, nor the goatee. Is a 5 o' clock shadow unprofessional if thats what I like best?

i've been in a new job for bout three and half weeks. i don't really feel as if i'm fitting in.
i'm making loads of mistakes - i get told bout jobs that i haven't finished or things that i should have done where other staff have had to re-trace my steps.
i don't do it on purpose, but i'm worried that it's more than teething troubles and that the other staff are getting anoyed

i do have a lot of experience doing this kind of job and like doing it.

i'm not sure what to do - i've not been there too long so i don't really feel like a can chat to anyone yet.
i just want to know that i'm doing ok cos i go in thinking what am i going to do wrong today. i really don't want to be the weak link.

i hope someone can help !!

I am not sure what I am looking to do with my life and I really feel naive as to what I am qualified for. I am looking for a change but don't even have a clue as to what field to go into. Any good advice?

I have lots of great phone sales experiance. I am very good with people, and I am extreamly good at edicute. I am also a pretty quick typer and I can retype documents very well also. I am able to use a computer well and the following programs MS Word, MS Excel, and MS Outlook. I am also good at researching on the internet.

However I am not very good at spelling, and I relie on spell check compleatly. I am great when given a task, I complete it within the deadlines to the best of my ability. I am a great motivation to the people that I have managed in the past. I am a very positive thinker most of the time.

If there is anyone out there with advice please pass it on. I am so confused at the moment with what I would like to do with my life.

How do you maintain a good work environment when your Boss has mood swings all during the course of the day? Should an employee make a confrontation?

Both myself and my husband are graphic designers and although we both work full time, we are quite poorly paid and thought about starting up on our own. The only problem being is that neither of us are sales people and don't feel confident that we could get the work in, although I'm fully confident in our abilities as talented designers. Anyone got any suggestions? We have thought aboout asking a third person to join the partnership but wouldn't know where to start looking for someone trustworthy and as commited as we are.

I applied for a new job on the 13th of Sept (a week an a half ago) as I am finding some of the new things at my current job not to my taste. As suitability goes, I was pretty good on all aspects, having everything I need for the job in abundence, the only thing they wanted that I didnt have was 5 years experience, as I only have just over 2 in my field. As such, its a 50/50 shot I think.

The application from was an online one so when I completed the form it was sent immediately. Since then, because of both my distatste for my current job, and my desire for this new job (its perfect on all accounts) I have been checking my emails repeatedly to see if they have responded.

Obviously, I am aware that expecting a next day response is impossible, but I am also aware that a lot of employers dont bother to get back to the people who they have rejected... As it is coming up to 2 weeks since I applied, I'm wondering if I should have heard by now and if I should just stop thinking about it?

I would like to start my own bookkeeping service but I am not sure where to get clients from. Usually hiring a bookkeeper requires trust and honesty which is no problem here. But I would like to work from home and I do have years of experience in accounting.
Where would I start with this. Are there any bookkeepers out there that work out of your home?

I started working for my present employer 16 months ago. At the time I was a little desperate to go to work and was not as sharp as I should have been at the bargining table. My first interviewer quoted a salary of $800.00 for a 40 hour week (+ 2 weakends on call per year) with sizable quarterly bonases. However when I went for the final interview with the owner of the company he stated he would start me out at $700.00 for a 40 hour week (+ 2 weakends on call per year) with sizable quarterly with bonases. After speaking to my direct supervisor, I was informed that after 90 days I would receive the boost. After 180 days I received a $50.00 increase. But the bonases are miniscule to say the least. Now they want me to take 4 to 5 on call weakends. Do I have any lgal standings?

i am a recent graduate with 1st class degree and want to follow career in auditing. I want to know what are the key differences between the two qualifications and the things that you can do with ACA that you cannot with ACCA (such as signing an audit report?) What limits you have with regards to how you can progress in your career and the areas that you can cover in finance/accounting field (i.e. having your own accounting firm, being in managerial position etc). I have searched the net but there is too much information and most of it does not help me with my decision. If you have knowledge/experience of the two qualifications or are qualified or whatever, i'd really appreciate your comments/advice/opinions/help. Thanks in advance.
