Careers & Employment - October 2006

I live in Illinois, where can I find the funding to finance my venture? I have two semesters until I finish my bachlors in sociology but I am thinking of sitting out and starting my business. I have three children,single parent and good child care is always an issue for me to work traditional hours. I am always told I am good with children and my ultimate college and career goals is to work with women and children. Where can I find help to start a business and is this a good idea?

I worked there for roughly 8-9 months part time, but when i finished university I left without giving notice,i just rang up and said I wont be in again. Now I would like to purchase stuff from the shop, I know I acted in the wrong way about leaving and theyre probably not too happy about it, will they refuse to serve me??

I graduated from college in 1999 and have 5 years experience with a small company and helped develop it. I want to post my resume and I need help with the Objective or Summary section. Does this sound ok:

"Experienced Professional seeks an Administrative position in the Health Care Industry fully utilizing strong customer service attitude, exceptional organizational ability and communication skills."

It sounds generic to me. I used the term "professional" b/c I have 5 years experience after college (some operations and supervisory/management experience, but not enough to go for a management position) Most of my experience was in customer service/customer relations management and small project management.

Also, what does the term "administrative" constitute? Does it include customer service? I do not want to work in a call center position.
Thanks!

I've been searching for a job for over a year now and have occasionally run across a job i have applied for previously and been unsuccesful at (either at the interview stage or just with my CV). What i want to know is what are my chances of getting that job if i go for it again?

I have inadvertently done it once. I wasn't aware who the job was with until i got an interview date because it was all done through an agency. I'd applied the first time through post and didn't get an interview. The second time (through the agency), my interview lasted only 15 minutes.

Would anyone's opinions of someone be different if they saw them applying for the same job a year later? Has anyone been through a similar experience?

Thanks :)

Hey, I am working on becoming A+ Certified, which is supposed to be the basis of an IT career. Once I become certified, I was wondering where must I start off to find a job, such as Best Buy, Circuit City or another business. Will they hire a College bound High school student? Finding a job is important for my Resume and to me! I need money fast, and Tech jobs pay well! I also possess enough knowledge for computers, I know Java Visual Basic and many others!
I am living in the Washington DC area.

Bad answers will get a thumbs down!

Thnx!

Hi guys,

Need your advice. I had a really high profile interview with a government client today and my agent had lied on my cv and stated that I had finished work in June this year rather than September last year which is a massive gap. I did not feel confident going in there and basically lying to the client about this especially as I have not been to an interview for a year and also they would of expected me to be a lot more on the ball than I am. I cancelled the interview for this reason and told the agent he shoud not of lied, was I right or wrong ?

I work in the legal field (I am not an attorney) I had several jobs in 3 law offices. My first job I resigned in 9 months of my employment. My second job I resigned in 8-9 months and I have 7 months at my current job . My resume speaks for itself, I have good experience but shows that I am not stable at one job. I really want to find a good firm to work for and make it a career starting off as an entry level paralegal. I am a hardworker and a quick learner. I am going to school to get certified as a paralegal. I am not happy at my current job because I over qualify for the position I took which is a receptionist. Its fustrating for me because I feel I can do more. I dont know if by looking now I am just wasting my time, plus this job doesnt have good benefits and there is favoritism at the office but not with me. I really need some advice I know employers would toss my resume if I were to start job hunting, I was thinking on waiting till January of 2007. What can I do to fix my resume?

i work a shift pattern, 8 hour days. The early shift is 6am-2pm, and the late shift 2pm til 10pm. My boss says that i am only entitled to one 30min break on the late shift for an evening meal, but am entitled to NO break (other than quick toilet breaks) on the early shift.
Is there anything in employment law that states how many breaks, and for how long, employees are entitled to??

Do you feel intimidated by the fact that you have none. Does it make you feel insecure. And do you think it is time for your to get those qualifications, would they improve your career prospects?.

problem but i had sick certs to cover my sick. I suffer from IBS. total of 9 days sick in 12months and 90% covered by sick certs. There are 3 people in this office who had 4 weeks sick and more covered by a sick note in the last 12 months and they got 2k bonus, reckon i should complain cos in this company its not what you know and how hard you work its who you know. the boss doesnt like me because i dont suck up to her and make it kinda obvious im not going to chase ronud after her when im already involved in something else. I dont want to complain but feel unfairly treated. I wont get a bonus i appreciate that but im leaving in 2 weeks and this is the main reason i am as i dont fit in because i dont believe in treating people differently because they expect people to bow everytime they come in a room! thank god im going! what do you think, nothing sarky or abusive please. i want opinions not rudeness!

I recently placed an add in the paper asking for any work i could do in my spare time (evenings and weekends) as i work full time during the day (I was hoping for somthing like leaflet delivering or some work over the internet) but someone has just phoned and ask if i would be interested in lingerie modeling he will pay £80 an hour, he said he is an amatur photogropher and the photos will just go in his portfolio, Do you think I should give it a go I could really use the extra money and it would also be in my own home, Im not sure what my husband would think either, what do you think
