Okay, I had my year review yesterday, and I thought I was going to get a promotion, which they have been promising me now for 4 months. They said, oh we don't know when it will happen, but it will happen. They did start to finally train me on my new position, but I don't want to be doing all this work and then not be promoted at all. I did get a small raise for my year review, but i'm now only making $12.36 an hour and having to pay for my insurance. I have to have help from my parents which is not my intention at almost 31 years of age. They say they don't mind, but sometimes at night, I almost cry because of my pitiful life. I have a Bachelors degree in Sociology and I struggle with why I can't seem to get any better paying job. I know I should be happy that I even have a job, but when you are almost 31, and still depending on your parents for support, it is sad. Any advice on the job situation? Thanks.

What's a good career that requires no college education?
I'm stuck in a customer service job, working at a museum, where I literally do nothing all day. I want something challenging, but have no college degree.

I live in an area where the job market is slow. I don't know if I should move, or would even be able to/want to.

Please don't say sales unless you say what I should sell.

Is there a short time certificate out there that will get me a good job? Possibly one I can get my attending courses online?

I am conducting reference checks on someone we are considering for employment. He only has one employer referenced and two long time friends he has "helped out" in the past. I am not sure what to ask them.

Hi
I am a 34 year old professional female who decided to take a career break a year ago after having worked all my life.
Last year I got married and (me and my hubby) decided that I should stay home with my 8 yr old daughter (from a previous marriage) and to give a shot at being a "homemaker".
Being a homemaker has definitely made my relationship with my daughter a stronger one but I do miss working full time and putting my self to work.
I have been for the past few week job hunting and I am under the impression that having taken this career break (which reflects on my Resume) has definitely close the doors to many opportunities out there. I have sent out Resumes and have answered mady Ads with no results.
I even went to a Head-Hunting Company and got an interview with a famous Insurance Co. They offered me the job for much less than what we had previously discussed! My recruiter had the nerve to tell me to take it since I have been "off the market" for a while!!!!! Help!!!!

I used to get a job offer from company A while I was working for company B. Upon knowing I am leaving, company B offer me more money to stay. I really need that money because I just make a big purchase so I stay. Though it pays good, job at company B doesn't excite me if not boring for me. Now company A called me back and asking how I am doing. I think they want to know if I am still interested. What should I do? If I have to change job, it has to match the pay that I am making right now.

I have been working for the past year as a relief Receptionist at a busy Real Estate Office. I love it. If the Property Manager goes away I am called in and if the Receptionist goes away I am called in. The Receptionist resigned two weeks ago ( while I was filling in there ) as she got a different job so I assumed I would be a candidate for the job. Found out late last week that I wasnt. He said to the Property Manager that I would cost to much because of my age and he ended up employing a 18 year old who he will now have to train. I am 38. To make matters even worse he has asked me to come in tomorrow and next week to help her out as the Receptionist leaves today and the new girl still isnt confident enough to do it alone. I am pissed!!!! I said I would do it because money is money and I want to see the boss myself as everything I know is from the Property Manager. I expect him to call me into his office and I want some good stuff to say to him. Any suggestions on what I can say ?

I was planning on giving a 2 week notice in a couple of weeks or a month or so. I work in a small 4 person agency. I already felt badly about my decision b/c boss is a great woman and she paid training and all, but I don't like this job and am looking at other options.

Well, today I learned that the other gal here is going to go work for another company...she hasn't given her notice yet, but cannot turn down the other job, her personal reasons.

Now I am thinking her staff will end up cut in half, and during the summer job season where there are more jobs than workers...

I wanted to wait about a month before giving a notice, but now don't really know what is going to happen...

Thoughts?

I admit, I hate telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen (I swear a new Edward Jones office must open up in my neighborhood every other Saturday). However, a recent topic made me curious to hear the other side of the story. What is a day in the life like for telemarketers and door-to-door salesmen? Why did you take these jobs?

A HUGE corporation called and they are interested in me. I told them that I was still working at my company, which I quit 4 months ago (the reason being is because I made a bad career move that I did not want to put on my CV); therefore, having to explain why I left for no good reason. Will they find out? Would they even call to see if I worked there? From what I understand, if you are presently working, they will not call your employer because they don't want to jeopardize your present working environment. Anything anyone?
