Careers & Employment - March 2007

If you got fired from a retail job and then you apply for positions, what would you put in the box of the application where it says"Reason for leaving"? Or when the interviewer asks you if you have ever been discharged from a previous job? I worked at a Clothing store in Houston Texas for 4 years and whenever my friends and family came to buy things, I would give them higher discount rates than normal. When my manager found out, he fired me on the spot. What should I do for other positions? Should I hide the fact that I got fired or should I tell them the truth. Please HELP!!

Oh and in regards to your pay - we can afford $175/week to start and will give a review in 90 days and again at 1 year.

We will also give 2 weeks paid vacation, paid holidays, 4 paid sick days and will provide all your personal care products you need (shampoo, soap, skin care, you name it) + a private room and a shared guest bath.

We will furnish the room with everything you need including a computer with high speed internet, a phone, tv, dvd player and cable tv. We'llput a deck in your room too if you want one.

We have 3 cars so once you are licensed you may use our car and we will add you on the insurance.

I'm in the process of filling out the sf86, and it asks to list any charges or conviction of a felony offense and to "report information regardless of whether the record in your case has been 'sealed' or otherwise stricken from the court record". Will I be able to the required security clearance for the job????

I am studying to be a Pharm Tech and someone said jokingly, when I asked about job duties, that one of the duties is getting addicted to hydocodone. Is it easy for PT to steal medication? I figured that it would be imposible since inventory is done and stuff. Plus, what do they do with old expired meds? Throw them out? I'm just curious because this is not the first time someone has hinted at addiction when being a Pharm Tech. I would never steal since I need my job, but I have had a few pills missing over the years when I went to get a prescription filled for this and that and it has now made me wonder...

I recently overheard a conversation that my boss I believe was having about me on the phone. I am not sure if he knew where I was or not. Talked about salary, resume on the internet. Lack of a girlfriend in fairly suburan area. All was aware of dark horse of myself arriving late to class after having a one night stand right before a test in their training . Each traine costs 100k for a year in expense to be trained. Major metroplitian area filled with young singles is 30 mintues away. I applied for a transfer with the job 6 months into it. I am in training program the company has office in the major city but I am in their suburan office. Since I have applied for the transfer things have steadily gone down hill. I have been continutally micromanaged and belideled. Cited negatively in performance reviews,issues have been fixed. An heard the boss said he things I will quit since i wont be transfered. If I hang it out will I ever get transfer? Will they fire me, or want me to resign?

I'm really confused on what career I should go for. I've thought I was sure about twice (Law and then Computer Science) but as time went by the zeal for them quickly left as soon as they came.
If choosing a career comes down to what you're really passionate about and your talents, then I really wish I could get into the film industry and become a movie director. I can't help but feel like that sounds like a hopeless daydream.

I don't have a door to close and need to get along with her, yet I can't focus on my work and get depressed listening to all her problems! Otherwise, I love my job! Help!!!!!! Any suggestions?

Well, i am probably going to be a Pharmacy Technician and when I asked people what kind of work it entails, someone joked around and said "You'll get addicted to Lortabs?" I'm don't even see how this is possible since you'd be fired if ANYTHING is missing and I thought only pharmacists could fill the prescriptions. Also, are their any Pharm Techs out their and are their ways to have access to that type of medication or is it impossible, as I would think. I'm just curious about this as I've heard some jokes in the past about this, so I'm just curious if Pharm Techs really have any access to these scheduled drugs. I just figured you'd be watched like a hawk and it'd be impossible, plus everything's counted. Also, another question, what do they do with the expired meds. Do they throw them out or maybe give them to people who can't afford prescriptions like Red Cross or something? Anyway, just curious about these things....
