I've just worked about 7 months after graduation. the real reason for me to change job is sb. in the office is not doing things in a professional way, and I was kicked out of the project, and I think I won't have the same good opportunity in the near 1 or 2 years....

my question is can I tell the new firm the real reason or show my dissatisfaction?Is it a good thing not talking negatively of the old firm? I want to say "career develop" reasons, but for the 1st year new graduate, it doesn't make sense switching so soon.... thank you...

Okay, this issue is about 'not enough work' :-). I am new to the company. Been a month here. I have these pockets of time where I hv nothing to do. I have asked several times about getting more responsibilities & now I am afraid I feel like I am bothering them? They entrust me with an ongoing extra task which I finish quickly, and then I am left with no work again. All the extra tasks that I am given, I finish it quick. My boss mentioned they want to give me more work, but so far, nothing yet. So how should I be handling this situation? Just keep killing time and wait for them to give me more to do, or keep reminding them politely at the risk of being a nag? What would you do? Thanks in advance...

I live here in Austin, TX and I wanted to know if there are any positions where I can work at home answering incoming calls maybe as a CSR or some other kind of job. I am not quite sure about the position I am in right now because they just laid off people so I am looking for a job where I can do from home. Don't want to pay any kinds of fees for the scams on the internet and looking for a real legit work at home job . Do you know any available in my area? Also I would like to work a shift during the day and not overnight or some crazy hours like that?

we able to break where ever we wanted-as long as we checked in. Yesterday our boss told us that we were all required to break in the same place. The place that we can break is in the bowels of the building and is unbearably hot with no air circulation. My Union contract does not say anything about having to break in one particular place. Also is there any laws against making employees break in a place that is potentially hazardous to their health?

Serious answers only-please. Thank you in advance.

How do employers gauge life experience and maturity vs. grades and diplomas?

Consider the example of a person who drops out of college (lets say a graphic designer) because it's too expensive and there's too little real-world skills being taught).

So that person goes out in the world, works as a freelance designer, and learns, on their own, the real-world skills needed.

How do employers consider that?...as a strength - for having courage and foresight, or as a weakness for not going through the same motions as everyone else?

The more I love my job, the less it pays!! (I've had several). I've had a well-paying job that made me miserable. Ok, if money can't buy happiness, is it worth doing a job you feel called to do or work a well-paying job to retire after 30 years, comfortably? (No guarantee of that these days, either). Ok, answer away!

I recently started an unpaid, part time internship and I've been trying to find a full or part time PAID job during the days I'm not interning (ya know, so I won't get evicted!). However, it's been weeks since I've been applying to places with uber flexible scheduling, and not one call has come through! Should I give up the internship and go back to working full-time or keep it and keep looking for that flexible-schedule job?

Looking for a new job but my credit is bad. Do most employers do credit checks or is there still a good amount that don't?

I was a top student in school and university. However, I can not perform well in my workplace, I feel it is very hard for me to trust someone completely, and when I question them, they will feel uncomfortable. Also, untrusting sucks up a lot of energy from me to double check things, and the energy could be otherwise used in other more productive activities.

I read some books which suggest different workplace culture requires different level of trust between employees: The bigger the organization, the less trust required; otherwise, more trust needed; Also, government sectors and workplaces employing hi-technology people management require less trust.

Could you give any comments regarding this from your own experiences?

Could you also give any advice on how to improve your trusting and be more trustworthy?

Thank you very much.

I work for an architecture firm, I started with in December. My boss decided to close down the division I worked in and layed everyone off. At the end of the day yesterday, he called me into his office and told me he had to fire me. I pleaded with him , almost in tears to not fire me. He told me that he would honor that and move me to another division of the office, granted that I learn that other end of the business. He gave me a deadline of 6 weeks ( May 1st), He said if it’s not working out he will fire me. He was nice enough to let me stay but I am very scared. I have already started sending tons of resumes out. I’m Scared, and have bills to pay, what should I do????
