Careers & Employment - March 2007

Hi friends,

I was raised and educated in London (UK) but I have recently been contemplating employment and career opportunities in India. My BA (hons) was "Modern History" and my MA was "International Politics and Human Rights", however most of my work experience has been within banking and finance.

I am interested in India's defence establishment (military - army, navy, air force) as well as the Intelligence organisations such as RAW.

Please offer all relevant and constructive advice, opinions and ideas.

Thanks friends.

but I think no bra will be better, especially since I'm not very big and I have very prominent "headlights" that I think men really like. Suggestions?

I am desperate to leave my crap job cause I am so unhappy here. My boss is power mad, I have no actual work to do, its so quiet you could actually hear a pin drop and about 99 per cent of all conversation is work related. It's driving me to despair. If I joined at the very end of last October, by law, do I still need to give the normal 4 weeks notice. I don't have a contract just a job offer I had to sign giving details of salary and holiday entitlement.

I am working in a small Solicitor office. I have a law degree and am currently studying for exams to qualify as a Solicitor. I have been working for a few years in Solicitor offices and my role was very much dealing with clients, working on my own inititave etc. About 1 1/2 years ago I started my new position here and was told I was legal executive, that I had law degree so would be dealing with clients that he had a secretary and a receptionist so I would be doing legal executive stuff only - as I have in previous roles. Since then the secretary went on maternity leave and then came back for a few weeks and left. I have been answering the phone, opening post and when the receptionist is out I am responsible for all her duties. This has never been requested of me just handed to me and expected. There is someone else in the office who is training as Solicitor (she has done exams and she is not expected to do anything). Is he taking the piss or is it normal for your role to change?

The company I work for is offering all staff a very generous voluntary redundancy package. I am eligible for this and the money would pay all my debts (which cause me no end of stress) and give me enough to live on while finding another job. I'm well qualified and have no worries that I won't be able to find another role reasonable quickly. However, I really like the job I'm in now, I enjoy the work and get on well with my team. My career prospects are good if I stay here and the organisation have invested a lot in me in terms of training etc.

There's a lot to consider - other points of view would be appreciated. Stay here where I'm happy or take the money and run?

I started a job last year being a receptionist. I help out the accounts floor and feel I know quite a bit about it. I want to leave my current job as its sh!t and I dont want to be a receptionist for the rest of my life.
I would like to work in accounts, but I have know "real" experience and obviously no qualifications for it.
I would like to know what would I ask to be if I went to an agency? would it be accounts assistant, credit control assistant, accounts junior? I just dont know what to say or put down on the online jobs searches.
And also, would you take me on with the knowledge that i have no real experience, just doing the basic's?
Thanks for your time.

So far I have 10 interviews, but none of them hire me. I work so hard in all my interviews. In all the interviews I thought I had a chance to be hire but they all come out disapointing. I feel that I need to know someone in the industry in order to get a job. Is that true??? Or I need to work more harder.

Don't tell me easy is relative... I'm not an idiot, this stated I do NOT find brain surgery / rocket science easy, so please don't just say the SAME quote I have found plastered all over any easy job question. Let me clarify; if you know of any job that has no experience or degree nessicary, and either pays well, or requires very little time and pays decently please list it.
