I majored in Political Sci. and graduated 6 years ago. Since that time I haven't been able to find a "real" job and for most of the time since I have been employed as a security guard (or have done temping). People keep telling me to keep plugging away, to keep looking, etc., but I mean, come on...is it just me or is a degree in Political Science as worthless as Confederate money? My resume is posted everywhere, on monster.com, on usajobs.gov, etc., In fact, I've only managed to land about ten interviews since graduating from college, so the problem must be more my resume than my interviewing skills. I hate the idea of going back to school for another degree because of all the money I've already spent getting the one I have, and also because it makes it seem as though everything I've done in my life up to now doesn't count. I think the best person to answer this question would be a H.R. representative; don't be afraid of hurting my feelings because I just want an honest answer. Thanks.

I want to send my resume via US Postal services, however I don't know if I should call the company before to check for job availability or to call just to get permission to send a resume. If I should call, what do I say to sound professional????? Help

I'm going to be voluteering in a kindergarten class a few times a week for experience and to see if that's what I want to do with my life. Most of my clothes are business like or really casual jeans and t-shirts. I want to look professional but I know my suits are too dressy and I don't want to look too casual either. I want to be comfortable and not worry if I get paint or whatever on the clothes.

this guy at work is spreading rumors about me and how i told him i'm in love with him and stuff and he's calling me crazy. my boyfriend and him have never actually talked, but they've seen eachother. they also have a few mutual friends.

i need a way to put a stop to all of this, because even though i really did have a MINISCULE thing for him a little while ago, this is just ruining my performance at work.

As i said i just got a promotion and I am so scared of failing and dissapointing not only myself and others.

I realised that the position is much more riskier than my previous position, the truth is i so scared of stuffing up!

Or how should i approach them regarding money?

I work in a completely different dept to another lady don't even know each other. I'd left my latte mug in the kitchen & went to collect it. When I picked it up, this lady was in the kitchen too and said, "That's a big mug for a small person". I didn't say anything, but just laughed it off. Yesterday, I had just got to the photocopier and realised it had run out of paper. I got some paper from my office and bent down to put some into the tray when this lady came up and said, "Broken the photocopier have you?" in a jokey way (which is not my sense of humour), and gave me a light pat on my upper buttocks (as a jokey rebuke). Again, I took it with a pinch of salt.
I really don't liked to be touched and wonder whether I should say anything about her or leave it, until she does it again. She has a very loud voice aswell. Am I making a moutain out of a mole hill or how should I handle this situation from now on? Any sensible suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I applied for a job- had 3 interviews- I was told that my experience, et al was just what they were looking for. I was told by head of dept. that I had the job- then HR sent a letter rescinding the job offer, after reading my resume! They had the resume for 4 months. Nothing new! Can I do anything about this, since I gave up other job interviews, being under the assumption that I HAD A JOB! I really want this job- I feel that there is something wrong- Discrimination perhaps? Please help me figure this one out. Thanks
