Careers & Employment - January 2007

I am an international student. I am a bright student with a major in Mathematics. I don't know where to look for companies that would hire int'l students. I am not specific about job responsibilities, I just need to find something that's respectable and pays relatively well.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

I took a job with a company I previously worked. The reason I left four years ago was that the company laid me off. I emailed my old manager about 6 months ago to see if they had openings, which they didn't have at the time. Then, about 3 months ago, I was offered a position. The job is very similar to what I was doing when I left the company, and it seems like a lot of the old problems are still there as well. When I accepted the position, the manager assured me that the comany was doing well financially, making profits, etc. and that they really needed help around the office. I was going to be his "lifesaver". Things started out well, but now things seem slow. They recently laid someone off. The official reason was that they couldn't afford him. I was reassured(without me asking) that I wasn't in any danger of losing my job. The company then proceeded to hire an assistant for the sales manager. She's told me she's going crazy with nothing to do. What's going on here?

I am computer programmer and hanged on single project for about 8 months. I wasn't being able to promote to take the position of my manager who left the company because of personal reasons and issues he has in the company. Similar to this project was never done before in the company history and no one can continue the job I am doing. It is because every one who wanted to take over my source code at least takes 1 month to understand each part of it. So they are too dependant on me. The customer always reports his satisfaction of my job to Top managers. The manager replaced is fully incompetent and to me will lead the company to closure. I brought this manager to company as my employee actually he was living in my neighborhood they never even taken my idea into consideration before completion of the project. My thought always fluctuates so that I cannot concentrate well. Is it my problem or it is the problem of company mismanagement?

"Well, we're interviewing other applicants" or "This is the first round of interviews" could be some examples. What are some of yours?

I graduated from law school and passed the bar but I don't want to be a lawyer. I have over $70,000 in loans to pay back and I don't want to be poor for the rest of my life. Is it a good idea to start all over and find something I like better? Is it worth the risk because I don't think I will be happy working in some dead end job no matter how much I hate practicing law (at least you make more money doing that)

Everytime I shop at Abercrombie & Fitch, I always get asked by other people who shop there, if I work there. Last week when I was there, I got asked five times from people who were shopping there for assistance. Would this make me a future potential employee at A & F???

I also mailed and emailed my resume to A & F Headquarters this week, do they usually respond to your mail-ins/emails? How are there personal and group interviews conducted & what are the typical questions they mostly ask you? Are the interviews mostly conducted personally or in a group? And when a male applies for a job at A & F, during the interview process, does the hiring manager take into consideration to see if the male is very muscular, trimmed, good looking, etc....???

I am webmaster who is working on some up-and-coming websites, but I'm not quite where I want to be finacially yet. So, to supplement my income, I work 5 nights a week in a restaurant as a cook.

My problem is this: I have been at my current job for almost 2 years now and I cannot catch any breaks with the owners or management. EVERY TIME I WALK THROUGH THE DOOR, they are talking about some new policy about this or that. They constantly tell us cooks what we did wrong the night before, etc. I have gotten one .50 raise in the last 2 years. It's absolutely ridiculous. I am sick and tired of it.

The owners treat us like crap. The managers are complete idiots. I was talking with another co-worker this evening and the manager actually walked by and told us to shut up and get to work. I'm 26.

I'm tired of being treated like a child and working for cheap owners. And, above all, I AM SICK OF THE RESTAURANT INDUSTRY.

I seriously can't take restaurant work anymore. What are some other options?

Everytime I shop at abercrombie, I always get asked if I work there even when I'm not wearing A & F clothes. Like the last week I was there I got asked five times with questions like:

Exscuse me, do you have the keys or can ask someone to open up another dressing room?

Excuse me, do you work here?

Excuse me, do you have this in a smaller/larger size?

Excuse me, can you help me out with something?

etc.................................

Would this make me a future potential employee at A &F?

I also mailed and emailed my resume to A & F this week. Do they usually respond to mail-ins/emails, or do I have to go to the store in person to apply? How are the interviews conducted, is it mostly personal or group interviews? What are the questions that they usually ask? And when a male applies for a position there, during the interview, do they take into consideration to see if he's very muscular, trimmed, and good looking, etc....???

I work for a global corporation- and would like to apply for a job within the company in another country. This job is in a different dept. The procedure is to send our CVs to the local HR manager.
If I do not tell my boss that I am applying for another position- is the HR manager oblicated to tell him? Or should I tell my boss that I am applying for the job? (Do not want to incase- I do not get the job and then get fired.) Or is it 'safer' to apply for jobs in another company?
