Careers & Employment - January 2007

The weather is horrible right now...very icy roads. I live on the 2nd floor of apartments and the 2 flights of stairs to go down are completly iced over...like a ice skating rink..very slippery.

First I get a call saying do not report to work due to weather conditions. Then about 1 hr later another manager calls saying you have to report to work!

My major problem is that you would have to put in leave...and I don't have any. How do you think this would be handled by a manager?

My significan others daughter does not work. Her husband is employed full time. She is always borrowing money from her dad. She runs up all kinds of debt. She shops all of the time, but has no plans on getting a job soon. Her house is filthy because she shops everyday and is never home to clean.
I watched a show today about families in huge debt, but the wife does not work. The first thing out of the financial adivsors mouth to the women who dont work was "your going to have to get a jobs
I look at these women who expect everything with no job. 2 cars, cell phones, nice clothes, shopaholics who run up increadible credit card debt. They have the courage to get on TV and complain about their debt.
My mother didnt work didnt have a car, no cell phone and was an excellent stay at home mom. She was not extravagant.
What is the deal with these women who complaint about the money, but dont work. Am I too harsh or is it ridiculous to think you can spend money and sit on your a.s

i used to work for a popular company and quit after 2 and a half years because i could not get promoted. i put in my 2 weeks. i actually put in 2 in a half weeks to finish the pay period. i had something come up and cut my notice down to instead 2 in a half weeks to 2 weeks and 2 days. the blackballing by a certain manager comes in when months down the road, i found out that i was not a rehire. this manager is mad because i cut the notice short and put me as a no rehire because of it. i even offered to extend my notice by a week to cover myself but he wouldn't let me. would i be able to file a suit based upon this.

The thing is, it's more stressful and you have people depending on you for just about everything in regards to our company. I believe in myself and my strengths but I still feel afraid of the change and the jump. How should I do this??Please anybody that has a plan or what would you do??Oh and in regards to the money, yes there will be more money coming from that position than where I'm at.

My husband went on a job interview and they said they'd call Mon or Tues. The last time this happened, I urged him to call to check in and tell them he was still interested in the position. He did so but left a voice mail message. ( I think he should have spoken to the HR person directly). A few days later, he got a reject letter.
Now he is afraid to follow up by phone with the other firm.
How exactly do you word a follow up phone call to let them know you are still interested and see if a decision has been made without sounding "pushy". Any tips?
(I think he may have left a "too confident" voice mail message that turned them off - he had several followup interviews and they didn't even offer the courtesy of a return phone call - just sent a letter.)

Hi, should I send the employer a cover letter if they only say "e-mail your resume to..." or should I just briefly introduce myself? Thanks.

I would like to retrain as a nurse and was wondering if anyone knows how I could do this? I am 23 and have professional qualifications in the field I work in and would need to work as I train if possible. Would it perhaps be better to be a nursing auxilary before joining a course? Is a diploma ok or would a degree be better? Hope someone can help! Thanks

I am applying for a huge internship in Washington D.C. and they are having me list ALL of my prior work experience. Well I worked for about a year at Subway and need to figure out a proper way to list the job title. Listing "Sandwich Artist" is definitely not a good way to make a great impression on my application.
Any suggestions?

My cousin works where. they have meetings once a week. At one of these meetings, everyone was required to stand on a table, shout the comapny's name and RAH RAH RAH!!!! She refused to do so, as she has trouble with her back and didnt feel up to climbing on top of a table. She is also a VERY refined person, but she did join in the cheers while standing next to the tables. There were about 10 people at this meetng, all got up on tables except for her. I used to work for this company myself, and they did do some strange things but this a little too much. Has anyone ever heard of this? Or is she exaggerating? One weird exercise I had to do was stand with our eyes closed and allow a coworker to approach us(we would not know who it was) and lead us around the room. I was very uncomfortable with this and was very happy not to be picked, just to watch. I am not a touchy feely person. Why do companies do stuff like this? Why are people becoming so much like sheep??
