Careers & Employment - January 2007

I am a student right now and I will be graduating in May this year, so I am in the midst of applying for my first job. A friend of mine suggested that I call the HR department of the placing I will be applying for and introduce myself and let them know that I will be sending in my resume. Is this a good idea? If so in my introduction, what all should I talk about?

he would go behind me and say things that will make my superiors querel with me, but he wont come face to face to ask me to leave the office. And he also hates the fact that I am pregnant. He wants to know my EDD but I dont want to tell him so he asked my collegues and superiors to ask me. I actually feel like resigning form the job but I have not gotten another one. WHAT SHOULD I DO

I used to work as IT consultant dealing with software writing n prjt mgt in software firms. I was quite well paid during my employment for 5+ years in few firms. last 1 year, I quitted from my IT and try sales job which I fond of too at that moment. I went to join a MLM which engage with sales n building team of people (to fast retire if I make it to mgr). after 1 yr, i realised that it doesnt suit me and I quit.

I FACE a lot of issues when trying to get into the IT job market. some companies aren’t convinced that I want to get back to IT job after last sales job. And when asked what last drawn salary, I couldnt name it as in MLM business, one is building own business and dont earn very much.

These are e questions they asked in interviews
"What your last drawn salary ?", "why you want to get back to IT as you already went to sales"

My problems are :
- how do i get back to IT job, by convincing employers that I am resourceful?
- shld i write in resume my last job was MLM ?

I stumbled across them before. It says you get paid to take surveys online. Of course it gives you the shpeel about making thousands working at home. But I wonder if you can actually make a few bucks on the side. It seems like a scam since they want you to pay $35 right off the bat then you can "make money". Has anyone tried this and made money?

I have a 3 month notice period in my NHS contract. I have been offered a new position abroad and want to only serve a months notice. Where do I stand legally? It is not a direct competitor, nothing sensitive so I do not think gardening leave is an issue - but what can the employer do to me and what are my rights as an employee. 3 Months (for a non specialist position - managerial) seems very unfair to me, trapping one in the position. I have worked here for four years and have an excellent relationship with my employer.

I am 16 years of age, and i have longed to get into business. I have explored many avenues, and have not yet found any that work because of my age.

People don't take me seriously because i am young, but i feel i am ready to take the leap innto business.

I am studying business, and i feel i can make a lot of profit.

In the future, i will strive my hardest to earn the largest capital that i can.

So i am asking, what jobs do you think could fulfill my dream.

Or what sort of business could i go into at such an early age?

Thanks for all answers!

Regards

I'm doing consulting for less money, but a lot happier. I help others get their businesses off the ground but can't seem to get the nerve to do it for myself. I relocate anywhere, I have a great work ethic, but suddenly can't decide where my passion is and where to put my efforts. Did I screw up?

I'm just curious. I used to work for an employer who paid us half a day's pay for every unused sick day we had remaining at the end of the calendar year. Where I work now, we get nothing. If you do get a reward, what type of place do you work (office, insurance company, etc.)?

Basically, I graduated from college and a couple months later had a baby. Now that she's almost 5 months old, I am ready to re-enter the workforce. I have 5 interviews in the next 3 days. So if one of the earlier ones decides to offer me a job, but I want to wait and see if another one might be better, how do I tell the interviewer that without destroying my chances for employment? I mean, if they can interview candidates and choose the best fit for them, why can't I interview jobs and choose the best fit for me?
