Careers & Employment - March 2007

I am finding the show "The Apprentice" be be more about product placement and execs trying to get an actually lower paying job just for the fame and fortune. The goal of being an apprentice is to learn and most of the folks choosen, are already highly successful folks, some making 7 figures a year to get a $100k job for Donald Trump.

Isn't the goal of being an apprentice to learn a trade? In this case it's business management. 99.9% of all "applicants" are already doing well in their choosen field. Would it not actually make sense to have a show about REAL apprenticehip? Take a person doing factory line work and "mold him or her" into a business apprentice? Looking at the background from most of these folks, seems they are there just to padd the resumes and not really attempting to become "an apprentice".

I've just received a receptionist job at a gymnastic's place and they aren't paying me much but there are also 3 shift and I'm during the third shift and only work three hours a night.

Today is my first day and they didn't tell me how to dress or anything. I'm also nervous I'm not sure how well I'll do or what excactly the responsibilities are or what I need to know, which I'm sure they'll train me to do, I guess it's just first day jitters.

In any case, they didn't tell me how to dress but when I went in there the receptionist was wearing gym pants/capris, flip flops, and a company t-shirt.

How do you think I should dress and what should I expect?

I have a job working in IT and dealing with computers and it bores me to death. I have been offered a position as a hotel manager making slightly more than I do now. However, I work days only and being a hotel manager would require possibly nights and weekends depending on if you have a staff that will work or not. I love customer service and I think that I would like this field better than setting bored at a computer everyday, but then again I think about working IT for the government and its benefit. I have a business administartion undergrad degree. Hotel Management would be more Human Resources and dealing with people more and I like that part. I don't think I care to much for the possibility of bad hours having to possibly work weekends and nights. I think I would like to work in the field though. Right now in IT i am a contractor and maybe could get a gov't job.. I hear conflicting info. What should i do!!!

recently it was decided at walmart that the third shift in the bakery was shut down leaving my mom to go to a different department. my mom is now in this department and the other night someone called in an order for 13 dozen doughnuts she was told about it and refused to do it and was sent home for it and was written up as well can she report this because she's no longer tied to the responsibilities of the bakery.

The second interview was last Tuesday. The interviewer said they would be calling this week to make their final decision. I know they are somewhat interested because only 4 people made it to the 2nd interview. Since it is Monday, should I call? Or wait until mid-week for their phone call (if I even get the job)?
