and don't know how to get any experience because everyone I look requires a lot of experience. I tried temp agencies too. Has anyone gotten a simple accounting entry level job simply by completing a degree? If so how?? And I don't know anyone in accounting nor anyone who owns business.

My resume is somewhat spotty due to moving and economy-related issues, and then pursuing an education in an entirely new field. I want part-time work while I finish my education. Is it ok to put a brief mention in the resume under certain jobs (as to why they were shorter stints)? Otherwise I feel like they may think I'm flightly when I'm not & throw out the resume. My attendance & performance is A+.

I'm in public relations and I'm basically very good at what I do: writing and media relations. I'm a reliable workhorse. But creativity and "brainstorming" are part of my job also. I can come up with creative ideas when I'm alone and have time to think (I'm an introvert), but if I'm in a meeting with others, it's like I can't think! Everyone else can come up with a ton of ideas on the spot, but I throw out maybe one or two. When I do come up with an idea, half the time, the VP makes a face, critiques the idea or looks at the prez as if to say, "Should I waste my time even writing that idea down?" I feel so inadequate by comparison and intimidated. What do I do? Am I doomed to never go past the Account Supervisor level? I'm afraid to go to another agency, for fear things could be even worse there! Things are bad where I am now, but the turnover is low. I think I could stay as long as I get along with the VP. How do I grow professionally? How do I learn to brainstorm successfully?

I am a preschool teacher in CA. My employer wants all the teachers to take CPR/first aid training. We did this 2 years ago, so I guess this is to renew it. Anyhow - this is an 8 hour course done on a saturday after completing a 40 hour work week, or over two evenings, 4 hours each, emidately after completing an 8 hour work day. Is this legal to require us to do this for free!? Shouldn't we not only be getting paid, but recieving overtime? And what about travel expenses if we have to drive further for this training? Does anyone know where I can find legal documention to prove my case? Thanks! I didn't question doing this for free last time (probably because I was a new hire), but I don't want to do it again!

Also, as a veteran I can tell you that while in the Navy I was always threatened with the spectre of never getting a good job if I did something wrong while serving, and yet no company that I have ever worked for has cared about my military record -- maybe if I had become a cop or joined the FBI, but regular people just don't really care about anything but your skills and what you can bring to the job.

I have two good job offers on the table right now and am having a hard time deciding which to take.
Job one has good benefits and a company vehicle. It is 40 miles from my home.
Job two has more benefits, no company vehicle and is 60 miles from my home. This job pays $18,000 more.
The most important benefits (health and retirement) are similar.

How much is the vehicle really worth? I expected a higher salary from job two because it is Westchester County, NY. If I look at a salary calculator between the two jobs, job two looks low. Does that matter since I am not leaving my home and will live here no matter which job I take?

I live in CA. I've heard that employers in CA by law, can only go back 7 years in your criminal history. Do they or can they check my juvenile records? I know it depends on what type of job it is. I am applying for a hotel customer service job. No big deal. Should I worry? I've worked at other places where they've checked out my back ground.

Suppose you got a job offer (for an office job) and the pay was low. You negotiated and they met you a little less than half way. You still don't like it, but it's just business so that is their offer.

This job comes with no benefits, none. It's an hourly rate and 40 hours a week, a temporary gig, that might turn full-time but who knows. Certain things are okay about the job, but really you're not excited about it---and not just because of the money.

If the job has no "benefits" in the HR sense of the word, what other things can you ask for to make up for the mediocrity? You can't ask for more vacation days, since you don't get any. A better job title is not applicable. You could ask to work from home sometimes but are not sure if there's a real reason to (there is hardly a commute).

You believe you'll immediately start to look for another job as soon as you start working there. Is it even worth it to ask for these perks, if you can think of any?

I have an interview coming up for a position as an Activity Director for Alzheimer's patients. Although I worked somewhat in Activities for seniors, I have a few questions for those of you in that field. Maybe you could help me prepare for the interview.

1. Not having been a Director as such, what would you suggest for starting salary? I have a 2 year dgree.

2. What would you wear for such an interview? I always thought shirt and tie, but I'm told there is such a thing as OVER dressing for certain positions.

3. What kind of questions would you ask.

I'm so excited...I would LOVE doing this. LOVE working with seniors.
Thanks.
