I have not worked since April. I have had quite a few gaps on my cv, partly due to bereavement, and associated upheaval to do with that. Previous to that I have left a couple of jobs and been out of work for a while before getting another. Also how can i put a positive spin on 'time out' which i have had lots of. I know i'm a good friendly worker with varied experience but how do i convince people. On paper my cv looks a bit gappy. I want to be interviewed at least - not even got to that stage for a while. Hope you can help

Whether yes or no, what sort of work do you do if you don't mind my asking?

My last two jobs have stability, 31/2 & 51/2 yrs respectively, but before that, hoo-boy, job hopping was my thing with periods of no employment. All the job apps. I've filled out previously want very specifics accounts of your work history, who, where and how long, etc. and I dont want to lie about those aspects of my former irresponsible life.

I just confronted someone at work. I thought she was talking badly about me behind my back. She said she wasn't and now I feel really stupid. What do I do?

Would someone be able to give me a good, straight to the point sample of a follow up letter for a phone interview I had today?

I have communicated with the HR manager serveral times via email about the position (entry level marketing coordinator) and she called me today for a phone screening. I think it went pretty well and I want to make sure that I stay on good terms with her.

Also, when would be the approiate time to send out the email? My interview was about an hour ago.

any suggestions?

thanks!

I have been working with my current employer for 5 months. Its a good enough job and I have been treated well and have performed well. I got a very favorable review at a recent performance evaluation. All in all things are very positive. However, another employer asked me to apply and is now interviewing me for what would be a "dream job". Should I tell my current employer I am interviewing at all or wait until I have a firm offer from the prospective employee? If I should tell, when? My interview is in 4 days.

5 people at work decided they didn't like me. They swore at me. Messed with my vehilce. Withheld information I needed to do my job. My husband says my attitude brought it on. What could I possibly do to deserve my mental health and personal safety being put at risk?

Does anyone knw any other jobs other than an undertaker or mortician that involves working with dead bodies?

For example- in Hannibal Rising it shows Hannibal working in some medical place where bodies are laying on tables- what would that be called?
That's the only example right now I can think of, though I'm sure there more.

Ok I live in one of the states that has a very poor economic job growth. I want to move to CA. I have targeted an area that has real potential for my college degree. I am in the process right now of moving. (taxes done, car fixed, tending to financial things)Then I just got a call from a potential job employer. I have an interview with them next week. I pretty much have my mind set on getting out of Dodge for a better life, climate, low taxes. The only reason I would stay is because the job mite pay alot. Then I could get some plastic surgery which causes me daily anxiety. I could also get an extra bonus on my resume with this job. (Security clearance) Unknown though.

I am way over qualified for this job. Since the requirements were high school education. An I have a 4 year degree. The job may pay 36-49k a year.

What is the amount I should stay for and say no and move. I need something related to my feild on my resume badly also.

I just had my 2nd back surgery. After my 1st, I have been lucky to keep a job for a few months till my back gives out. I have no family or close friends since I was adopted and cast out at 15, so I have no one to help or lean on. I work till my back gives out...then I lose all I have. I have been going through this since 93. I am not lazy, but my mind goes quicker than my body allows, and I have to work to stay alive. It is hard, a few months at a time. Thank God for friends. But how do I prove I really can't work? I can work for a time and feel ok, but not for long. Just like a test they had at physical theripy of climbing a ladder. It took about 2 minuets to climb in pain. I could do it with pain, so they wrote I can do it. Gee, so much for being honest. I could do it, doesn't mean I did it like a normal person or not have to suffer later. Any ideas?
