I'm looking for a new job again. The other day, I contacted my manager at my second-most recent employer and asked him to be a reference. He declined, saying that he thought I was a great guy and had a lot of potential, but wasn't comfortable being a reference for me. To be honest, my work wasn't the greatest at that company -- I had an illness in the family and lost focus somewhat at work -- but having to explain a lack of a ref. is a problem. Suggestions on how to handle?

Is asking someone to be a character reference only better or worse than having no reference at all?

Hi, i get £7 a week for pocket money but this week i lost £3 for nothing. My brother lost 50p for saying a ******* bastard and i lose 50p for calling a person on tv fat. is that unfare or what? what one is worse out of them? i am 14...do you think i should still lose pocket money at the age of 14. I think that is for young children.

i am a very beautiful female. and i know that because i always get compliments and everyone around me tells that....
however, i have a problem.....
i find it really hard for me to find a job.
If an interviewer is a male, i almost always get a job, however if its a female, i dont even get a thank you for comming. No matter what i do, a woman wont hire me (and i went to like 20 inverviews where an interviewer was female) , even if i am qualified!!!
my point is....I found this my dream job and i want to persue, i send out my resume to them and 2 days later they called me and said that i am qualified and they want to meet me for the interview....i found out thru the HR office that my interviewer is a female and it made me depressed...i really really really want this position, and i know that i am qualified, but i am afraid that i wont get hired again b/c of my looks........my friends say that they are always jealous of my looks ....so what should i do? i really want this job

I wanted a Human resources degree because I felt it left me open to find a job in any company. Every company has a HR dept. But lately I've been playing w/ the idea of a probation officer and I want it bad! It's the first thing I've become passionate about since I started this whole journey BACK to school! Can I become a probation officer w/ a Human resource degree!?!

service users have complained. i feel stressed / ineffectual.
manager says they are going to try + help me
i think i have overstated my abilities at interview (selling myself)
what is the point of emphasising your strengths at an interview?
what you get the job you can't dliver the goods

When I came to this job I couldnt believe Id got it, the money is amazing and because I work for the MD of the company I seem to have a lot of power in my role here.
But the stress is unbelievable and as much as I love the money, Ive been thinking recently would I rather go back to a lower paid, less pressurised job.
Should I stick it out and see if I can overcome the stress / pressure issue or should I just go get a lower stressed and lower paid job?

A meeting for my division was cancelled yesterday and I did not inform the maid. Her supervisor called me this morning at 9:30am to ask if the meeting is still on, and I said it was cancelled yesterday and will be scheduled for a later time today, I also asked her to apologise for me - to the maid.
The maid however brought up the stuff (coffee, tea) and put it in the room and told me that I need a plug to keep the coffee hot (those were her only words and left, I sensed attitude)

What do I do now, cause I am new in this company?
The coffee is still on the table in the meeting room getting cold!

I'm having this final round interview in a few days time. It's a position in a company's business development department and I love it so much.

The first round interview I joined went on okay, it wasn't like a face to face interview but roughtly 25 candidates were randomly put into groups and assigned various tasks, etc. It lasted for 4 hours, although I didn't feel very confident (this is actually my first professional job interview), at the end of the interview I got a chance to talk to the CEO of the company , and he was like, u did well, maybe I will see you next week, etc. two days later I got an e-mail from him and was told that I've got the chance for the final round.

So now I'm a bit of lost, I know it'd be tougher and be quite challenging, but dunno what questions they will ask me. I really cherish this opportunity so please give me some opinions on how to do it well. Thanks a lot!
