Careers & Employment - November 2006

I have not received one in a year....tho to my own fault...I haven't asked. I am a pillar of the company and lots would be lost if I left. I feel I shouldn't need to ask, but since it hasn't been offered out of respect or "thanks" for my hard work...I will be asking soon. Any advice on how to go about it?

I just joined an intership. This is their first year of hiring an intern and they are kind of unorganized in training. I spend 2 days there. The folks showed me some general data entry stuff but they don't do a good job of explaining what they're doing. They expect me to know everything about what to do and how thier company does stuff. They aren't even that friendly. I feel like they are bothered by having to train someone. I don't even feel like going on in this but its good for my career i guess. I really don't feel like going tomorrow and I don't want to hate this job...i'd become desparate if i do. Does anyone have any advice for me? Maybe someone who hires interns and traines them? help!!

How does a human services worker integrate the use of mediation, or third party neutrality, when he or she also serves as an advocate for the client and is an employee of the agency?

I'm a cashier at a store and a man came in (a customer) and while I was checking him out, he said something of a sexual nature. I was really offended. Should I call the store's hotline and report him? Should I talk to my boss about this? What should I do? I'm really scared.

I think NOT. If you want to talk about Qualifications, Work Ethnics, Experience, and Education then I'm sorry to said but for those that think Affirmative Action gives other sex, race, gender an "edge", more like it's helping you.

I'm sorry but I was going through the forums about Proposal 2 and all the replies were about "white" this, "white" that, "I lost my job because of Affirmative Action", gimme a break. Don't put me in that category of "SLACKER HIRE!" Cause I'm WELL Qualified, more Experience, and more Educated.

There have been plenty of times I tell myself this, "Why is he even my boss?" He doesn't even know what he is talking about! I ask him, "How you get this job?" He answers, "My dad knows one of the corporate guys." So hiring someone just because daddy's knows someone = "EDGE". No ****** wonder our economy is downhill. I believe we NEED only the BEST in our schools as well as in our Businesses, Corporation, work place, etc; or we'll lose this Global Competition.

I've been in the same kind of administrative career for the last 10 years or so. I'm not sure working in an office is the right path for me, but I have no ideas what I could do. I do not have a degree and my only work experience is administrative. Is there such a thing as a career counselor for adults? How do you go about finding one? Thanks!

I'm trying to leave retail and work in the banking industry; However, a lot of bank jobs require that you have 1-2 years customer service experience. Would working in retail count? I interact with customers a lot.

Anyone ever applied at a financial institution and got turned down because of their criminal record(which has nothing on it. Only 7 traffic violations)? There is a speeding ticket pending and that is all. Anybody have any experiance with this kind of thing?

I have the chance of a better paid job. But it is more stressful with a lot more hours. Should I go for it or stick with my lower paid low stress job. What is the point of having extra cash if you have to work 50+ hours a week and you have not got time to enjoy it.

I am a registered dietitian. I was hired as a director of dietary department on 11/2/06. As a head of the department I have a lot of responsiblities. I get to write up people, can hire, fire, maintain the whole kitchen. I have no previous supervisory experience and I have to manage the whole kitchen, this makes me nervous. Everyday I drag myself to go to work, I almost hate it. The hours are too long, alot of paper work, am there from 7:45AM to 5:30PM, salaried. Very tiring, cant do long hours. I feel as if they hired me because they couldnt find noone. Also, in three months I am planning to take off 5 weeks, co. dont know this. While working there I have applied to other places, and am getting interview calls, but am telling them I cannot start until March. I just want to be a dietitian not a supervisor and a dietitian. Can I quit this job by the end of Jan, what reasons should I give? They really need a dietitian, ppl there like me, because I work hard almost 9-10 hrs/da

I try so hard in school, and I have never gotten straight As. High school (especially mine) is rather difficult and I am the kind of person that really needs to study to do well. I get GPAs like 3.7 and 3.4...but I want to get a good job when I grow up and I want to go to a good college. I know I am about average, but can I still find a sucessful job if I'm not perfect??

I could not find the job in my field for over a year and half, and I have tried everything, however I worked something different and that job offered me perspective of how is it to work in those fields I got education for. This gave me an opportunity to learn so much about myself and what I like to do in my life. I figured that I am the happiest in fashion industry, when I need to go to work, I am happy, and excited, I used to be a model, and a photographer, my home is fully designed - I am very artistic - yet my majors are : Psychology and Criminology. I am good at that too - however, I realized that working in my 2 fields often puts me in touch with illness, crime, sadness, grief, lots of negative feeling on a daily bases. I have talents and knowledge that companies did not need from me -so in that sense my skills are wasted. However, isn't art and fashion my life calling since all paths led me to this again and again, despite the fact I got education in some other field?
