Careers & Employment - November 2006

Unless you are a journalist, writer or lawyer, when will you ever need a strong vocabulary in the workplace. , I don't see any use for a wide vocabulary in the workplace. After all you can still have good communication skills with an average vocabulary.

Ok, say you did four years in the Military, Enlisted (any branch), left as an E-5. Does that carry any weigh on your resume? Say someone did four years, left as an E-3 (For whatever reason, they never advanced). Or someone does twenty and leaves as an E6 or E7. I hear conflicting things. from an Idiot I work with he says it doesn't carry any weigh on the outside, and employers don't look at it. Another Co-worker says "Yes, employers look at that" Who is right?

I may be pursuing the course out of interests, and I will be leaving the comfort zone of a monthly salary and two years of working experience.

I'm worried of not having a job when I graduate. Isn't everyone.

Because it seems as though employers want applicants to have a "calling from God" to work even the lowest paying jobs.

Please listen carefuly as our menu options have changed..for a co. directory push..I'm sorry did u say service...for master crd say 1for.. visa say2..If u have any other questions dial1866 789 123.. the best one...office hrs are from 8 to 430 and it's 4pm still no help. Who are these people that put these things in place? On a good day I could choke them! I once called a ball stadium not only for tickets but wanted to know where I could seat a wheelchair talking to a real person was not an option nor was it available. By the time you press 1,2 or 3 and 2 again a real person could have had all your info. or even been done with you. These company's are so cheap they won't hire someone to answer phones when so many of us need jobs

It's been 6 years I've graduated. My first job was thru' a campus recruitment for a call center at a multinational co. for credit card collections. I quickly moved up the success ladder, excelled at work, gained tremendous credit knowledge along with exceptional communication & supervisory skills in those 2 full years. The past 4 years I have been working in the middle east with a US Govt. Contractor where I completely changed my line of work, moving into vehicle fleet management, while I multi tasked in different roles including dispatching, maintenance procedures, departmental accounting, logistics operations etc. My question is: I want to change my job and get into the banking and accounting field. I'm sure a prospective interviewer would ask me why I did not look for a job transition earlier. Of course, the money was great but now I seriously wanna get into my specialized area. I need a good and effective answer to the question, as to why I did not look for a job change earlier.

denying someone for a job. Sometimes you can send out a letter thanking the person for applying but...and give a reason. So, I was wondering if there is a letter template that I could use?
