I didn't get the job, just because I don't have much experience using a computer program in a workplace. I told the interviewer that I only learned using it in a class, but don't have experience using it at work. He said he's looking for someone who's already experienced.

When I read the description of the job, I knew I could qualify for it. It's only the computer program, such as Excel, which I've never or rarely used at work. And, I guess, I really didn't know how to sell myself effectively.

I was somewhat rejected and disappointed afterwards, because I was interested in working for this company.

I have put out over 45 applications via internet and pounding the pavement looking for a job. I am a Marine (now inactive) with a long track record of supervisory and management skills with a strong work ethic to boot. I put in at places I would be well suited for but never even get called for an interview. A long time friend calls me to let me know they are taking apps for a position in Logisitcs Management in a warehouse setting (My expertise) Being that she works in the HR dept she gets to review the applications. Out of three of us who put in for the position the least qualified person got the job. He didnt even put in a resume, had not held down a job for more than a few months at a time, had ZERO experience and completed a GED program less than a year ago. I have recently been informed that employers get better Tax breaks if they hire and train people in unemployment job pools or minorities on State assistance. Is this true??

I have an opportunity to get into a positon that I have a degree in in my company. I have been actually doing that position as well as my normal job for some time with out compensation. I was told by upper management that they would open that new position and give it to me. Now I am told that they are opening it up and I have to compete for it. I have not received a raise for all I have done as well. I revamped their corporate image, created various ads amd campaigns and worked extra hours.

What are my rights in this? Is there anything I can do? Or should I start looking for a job and add this experience to my resume?

I started working in the shop while I went to college. Over the years I progressed through the company, General Labor, Machine Operator, Dept. Head, Engineer, Manager, Plant Manager then General Manager.
This is really the only job of note that I have had. How do I keep it from raising any "red flags" on a resume or during an interview?

The reason for my request is because I have an exam for my masters admissions coming up in mid November. To get sufficient prep time, and to put me in the groove to take the exam, I prefer working from 8AM to 5PM. My usual shift schedules are 2PM-10PM and 10PM to 6 AM (night shift). These schedules leave me drained and tired. What I plan to suggest to my boss (who is in a different geographical location) is to allow me to come in the 8-5 shift for the 3 weeks prior to the exam.

What I want to know, is how best I can put this across to him, without him turning down my request? I feel there is no need for me to take leave off from work to prepare, but just a change in the shift would give me sufficient time in the evenings to study.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

If I list them in order from most current it would go
Engineering Manager
General Manager
Engineering Manager

I don't want to lie and say I am still General Manager and leave out the current Engineering Manager, but I don't want it to be interpreted that I was demoted due to poor performance.

Since I have looked at several resumes in my time I know how easily a good candidate can get turned down just based on something being "off" on the resume. I just have never seen this situation on a resume.

Help, please.

I started a new job as a CNA in a nursing home about a month and a half ago. I've been off for a few weeks due to health reasons. I'm starting back part time today. The problem is, my coworkers treat me terrible. They talk down to me, behind my back, and refuse to help me. i've never worked in a nursing home like this and still feel slightly lost after a brief training period since each resident has different needs and I'm not used to the daily routine. I think all the stress from working with the other employees has led to my health problem, which they think is either severe irritabl;e bowel symptoms or an ulcer. How should I deal with the people I work with and how can I have a more positive outlook when i'm going to work, because right now, I dread it and start the countdown the day before ( in 12 hours I will be at work! ). ouch!

I was a hairshow model for Matrix last year and had a blast. I got a notice that I was wanted for a different hairshow this year, but it is 2&1/2 hours away. I would have to go there tonight to speak with the various companies and then if they need me for sure, I have to go tomorrow to get my hair done. Then the shows are Sunday and Monday. I believe the most I will make is $300.
I just got off work yesterday and we are out for fall break, so this is all possible. I know it might be fun, but I am so tired. I am just not sure if I should go, but I still sort of want to,,,,,.hmmm...

i just got hired for a job and they are getting ready to do my background check. i don't have a lot of experience and i kind of extended the truth a little bit, but not alot. i jsut said that my last job, which was on unemployment, was work, not just volunteer. i got paid to do it from unemployment but i didnt say it was volunteer. how much trouble can you get in for saying you may have worked there a little bit longer than you did. only by a month or 2 longer....

I am a guy who is 31. I graduated from college ten years ago with honors from a major university. But I have failed on many jobs because I am unable to figure out the job. It has worn on me mentally. I can't seem to stay in a job very long because i can't comprehend the concepts required to do the job. I was a political science and history graduate. The latest job I failed in was a difficult and technical state job that dealt with public assistance. Alot of technical computer training involved. Also alot of policy and law to understand. This has happened to me over and over and over. How long did it take you to find a job that you could be competent in?

In my last two positions I was unable to do so because my new employer needed me to almost immediately. How would you tell a new employer that you can't start for two weeks? Do most understand? I don't want to leave a third job without notice, because even though I have an excellent work record, I am rendered "unhireable" because I don't give proper notice, and that looks bad when new employers check employer references.
