I'm in school getting a sociology degree but I really really really dont want to. I was orignally going to school to do dental hygiene but I didn't get in the dental hygiene school at my university. So I was wondering instead of letting my parents spend 24,000 dollars on my schooling each year maybe i should go and do something i really want to do. The only problem is that they wont help me pay for a community college education (lol, parents), so I would have to come up with the money myself. What should I do? any ideas?

Is it better to have a job doing something that you are good at or doing something that you enjoy?? I am currently a cook at a restaurant giong to school for Fine Arts. I have always done well in the restaurant business,... but now I have to decide between that, which I have the skill for. (OR) something with art or design. Like Interior Design or something along those lines.

What should I do, something that I have the skill for or something that I have the passion for???

I have been working in the semiconductor industry as a CAD engineer for quite some years. How hard is it to switch from a CAD engineer to an analog design engineer? I have a BSEE. Can the managers and directors give me advice on whether the design group would want someone like me with the CAD talent? What does it take to switch over?

Thanks!

I have been offered two jobs at the same time.
One is to work in a bank as a 'customer service representative'.
The Human resources is working as a 'recruitment consultant'.
I have no experience in either field.

Obviously I am aware that everyone is different, every job is different, every environment is different.
All these factors depend on your personality to how you respond to specific tasks/jobs. But I am completely stuck on which one to chose.

Just wondered if you have any advice/experiences from within these environments/types of jobs that you could share.

What was it that made you end up in your job? Any regrets? What are the things you enjoy? Is Monday a tough day for you... or do you love every day of the week?

I am currently working in the DC metro area as a background investigator (government contractor). I'd like to get into the anti-fraud industry (maybe insurance fraud/white collar crime); however, I don't know what the essential tools are for these types of jobs. I have a bachelors degree. I am willing to go back to school and/or take professional courses, but I don't know where to begin and don't want to waste my money. I don't think I want to stay in the DC area forever, so learning about requirements in the private industry is very important to me. Thank you.

It's not a major requirement just a general requirement. I was unable to complete it this summer because my internship recruiter quit and I couldn't complete the internship course. My advisor says to just apply and let them know that I am doing a project that won't conflict with my attendance at whatever positions I apply to. Will they be lenient? Or will they totally discard my interview. I have it in two weeks, should I let them know about this during or after my interview? The position is a city position. Thanks in advance. Greetings!! =)

I am a bookkeeper and am very familiar with Quickbooks. I am applying for a new job and they asked me if I am a full charge bookkeeper and I of course said yes! Then it started to make me a little nervous. I work with the accountants at both of my jobs. They do use the general ledger in Quickbooks and I have never seen this before. Any jobs I ever had they never used general ledger. Let me know!!

One job, a guy tries to get me to do his work.
Another one, he asked who hired me.....
Another one, he didn't like my style
Another one thought I was a piece of ****

Yet, I have great references, is generally well-liked and talked about positively in my jobs. I also have a decent resume. Why is this?

Is that just "life"?

I am sending my (unsolicited) resumes around (on the advice of my college counseler) to a list of businesses (shops).

Should I write "resume" on the envelope so they don't think it's just junk mail & throw it out automatically, or will "resume" make them throw it out quicker??? LOL. thanks.

I've been temping at a company and during that time, I have been helping out a guy that's worked there for quite some time and he'd pretty much ask me to do things he should have been doing. He takes his job seriously, but most of the time, I notice he would stare at me while I would do things and always make a comment if he didn't agree with how I did my work, just not very tactfully.

He's usually not polite, but tries to force it.......Apparently, I've heard other temps have had problems with him too. Even guys that work with him now have problems with him, but just "avoid" him. He is not a team player, as I had observed and gets demanding and asks that I do things for him that require physical labor that he should be doing, but is not.

He came up to me and told me once I was full-time he realized I would have my own job to do and he wouldn't ask for my help. He said this several times, and not as a full-timer, one week in, he's asking me to do his work

I had a job interview on Wednesday at 10am in the morning. It was with the finance director of the company. We had a real good chat and he seemed impressed. He said i was the last person they were interviewing and everyone would hear one way or another by Next Wednesday 25th. However, he rang me this morning and asked me to go back in tomorrow morning to meet the rest of the directors. Does this mean they are gonna offer me the job or do you think they are just calling the short listed ones back in?

I went for an interview on Tuesday and the man gave my a double handshake (we shook hands and thn he put his other hand on the back of my hand), I gave his assistant a hank shake as well, but hers was very weak and I could tell mine was quite firm.

Is a firm handshake a good thing? What does his double handed shake signify?
