Should we just keep to "my writing skill" when we refer to just a skill. But I see many people use "improve my writing skills". Are both phrases above correct? Please explain in details.

I just started a new job and I really hate it. The commute is okay, but they require overtime each and every day. I was looking for a job with work/ life balance and got exactly what I did not want.

I am looking for another job, but am trying to keep this until I find something. I just hate going in to work each day and try to take vitamins and drink herbal tea just to get through the day.

Has anyone else dealt with this same situation? Each day is just terrible.

The people are okay but the work is confusing and there is no one to train. I asked about work/ life balance during the Interview and they said that there was work/ life balance. Now that I am working, I see that there is not.

I used to have a union at my other job, needless to say, I didnt' need them becuase they were doing nothing while taking my money. they never did much to make me happy at my prior job and yet had the nerve to increase the workers dues. I had no choice, but I wasnt' happy at my job, I actually liked it. it seemed to me that everybody that was pro-union over there was lazy or had no reason to be there. they all wanted to know how much each person made, and godforbid that I get a pay increase while their shiftless asses were stuck at the same as everybody else.

I don't know though, I could be wrong, but my experience with a union has taught me that Unions aren't worth taking a job for. I'd rather get my degree and get me a career. I'd rather have my pay increase on my own merits, not on some Union negotiations. what's your take. I just don't think Unions work anymore. what's your take

I used to be really really hard working .. and when I left my workplaces I had shining references. .. until about 1 year ago.

I had a temp job working for government for a year ... then I went skinny and came obsessed with my weight which let to drepression. Basically I was of work for four months as I was too emotionally and mentally distressed to work. I left there in Feb as my contract ended and went back to work for two months before leaving. After this I got another job working in a factory, I worked in the offices there for six weeks and then my reference from the government came through to them. They sat me down in a room and said my reference was good apart from the fact that I had a few months of work, and they wanted to know why. So I told them and a week later, I was invited to the bosses office and he asked me to leave! He said it was due to lack of business. He wanted me to go there and then! I told him to give me a weeks notice as I have comittments, morgage etc.

Lets say that you are a manager in charge of hiring people. I know the odds of this are slim but lets say that you have two resumes on your desk and by all appearances these two candidates are equal in all aspects. Each have equal experience , both candidates have the same degree. The only differentiating factor that you can see is the school that obtained thier degree from. One person received their degree from a big name school like U of M, Vanderbilt, M.I.T, etc... and the other from some local community college.

Question: Which candidate would you be more inclined to hire?

I know I’m an extremely quiet worker, shy in fact. The rest of the office is arranging a Christmas lunch and so far, I’ve not been invited. They’re talking about it now, even as I type this. Not only that, but someone’s given out some Xmas cards today and guess who was left out? I’m such a lovely girl (sorry, but true), and all I’m guilty of is being a very quiet person. I feel so excluded. I’ve tried to converse with them, but come the next day, it’s back to being excluded again.
