Careers & Employment - January 2007

I am shadowing someone who is already in my chosen career. I ask questions but sometimes I am quiet, and doing my observation like I need for my required College classes. But, I feel that I think she thinks that I'm not interested when in fact I really am!
I ask questions but should I be doing so every 5 seconds on everything? How else can I show her I'm interested? Is it okay to be quiet? Do I need to talk about myself? She talks about the profession and about that things that come up and all the logistics and I say Good or that's great! But...how else can I show her that I'm really interested?
Also, In the beginning I smiled alot but I then became normal...is this seen as fake or disingenous? Do you think I just need to relax? I also don't go to lunch with them. I guess because I'm not great at small talk! Help please? Thanks!
(Choppy conversations with pauses in between I suppose is what I mean.)

Just ended a long term relationship and lacking energy, and focus. I have never taken them but am sure they help a lot of people. Paxil or effexor has been recommended, any thoughts or advice? I am tired of feeling bummed out.

I've been working for my city now for 4 years, since August of 2002, but as a temporary worker. Originally when I started working I had 2 years or xxxx amount of hours before I was terminated. Anyways, my boss prevented that and also was able to get me 1 raise in those 4 years. Recently, I've taken and past tests for higher paying permanent positions but because of school I couldn't work for the hours they wanted. Well, now I'm not going to school and I'm wondering if there's a way I can get the city to get my on permanently because if they lose me the whole project the city is working on will slow dramatically... Any insight would be great...

Basically, I haven't worked recently (long story, forced to quit by Big Corp. due to work injuries, no interest in legal issues). Anyhow, I have since recovered (as best as possible in my own way with help & support of family/husband & without doctors, pt, etc.). Now I am ready to get back to work! Here's where I need Help, please. What do I say about why I quit good fast-track corp job so long ago (will worker's comp record come up in background check?) & haven't worked at a "real job" in 6 yrs, other exp. worked part-time & went to school before, also former co-founder of closed company? I want to work at heart & soul non-profit (lower pay ok) arts related orgs (been volunteering off and on for the past few years at similar orgs in other cities two hours away, commuted to finish my BA degree while caring for my uncle who had cancer, he passed away before I graduated). Also, how do I state volunteer experience on resume & especially on application (usually no room for this info)?

If you were to send one warrior off to fight a dragon, which one would you choose out of these..?
The strongest one?
The wisest one?
The bravest one?
The most experienced one?

...and why?

If we were in a world where there could be only one profession, what do you think it should be? Do you think it should be a doctor to cure illness and keep health alive? What about a construction worker to build shelter and keep people safe? Or a wise religious leader who teaches that one should have faith in God, and that everything will turn out alright when he is in control? Out of all the jobs in the world, what do you think?

I worked in Primerica. They had women groups and black groups
This is racist and sexist. Whitemen demand equal rights in the workplace. Or report them to authorities.

I've applied to several jobs but have gotten no responses. I don't have any experience, and I believe it is this factor that's keeping me from getting hired. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how an entry-level microbiologist can get her foot in the door?

A friend of mine has been asked to sign a letter agreeing to work certain days of the week if the employer asks him to. The friend is just starting this job.

My impression is that an employer can ask you to work whenever the employer wants. But, I have NEVER heard of anyone signing a letter concering their job --- assuming the job isn't at a very high level within the company.

Have you ever signed a letter that details anything about your job when you are first hired?
