I am of the opinion that state government jobs will always be around. You always hear about states trying to trim their budgets and cutting funding to programs, etc. but it still seems like a safer line of employment to be in than any type of job that can potentially be outsourced to India or China. It even seems like airline pilots face an uncertain future as planes may eventually fly themselves. Newspapers are facing a crisis as people get their news from other sources and several national papers are expected to eleminate their book sections in the near future. At least in a state job you have job security and are guaranteed a pension, right?

I got called on Monday because they wanted to ask me more questions like if I could work in the morning and not in the afternoon like they at first said, I said yes that would be fine, then they asked I had anymore questions I said when can I start they both laughed and said I really liked that. Then said they would hope to call me back with a decision soon. So what do you think? Should I call back and check if so when?? Oh and then today 05/22 another place called me for an interview for the same position just different location, but I really want the first one. PLEASE HELP!

I just had to fill out an application for customer service, and one of the questions was, what experience do you have with "cold calling."
What the heck is that?
Thanks everyone in advance

Example, a store which in the past allowed employees to smoke during their breaks outside the back door now has a policy that states that there is "no smoking allowed on company property, including the loading docks." The only place that the smokers are allowed to smoke is in their cars in the parking lot during their breaks. What do you think?

We are going to have to replace an employee that isn't working out. The management team is deciding which is the best plan of action. Place a blind ad for her position so that we won't have a hole in the workstaff until we find a replacement (a warm body is better than no body approach) or two, fire her then advertise for her position so that we can search without secrecy (the sometimes no body is better approach). Have you ever replaced an employee while they were still employed? Which approach did you take and why?

I'm interested in going to school for pastry arts, but would like some experience in a bakery before I commit myself. I've checked a few places, but they only hire people with experience. So how do I go about getting experience?

I am a professional that took time out of my career to have my baby. I'm now looking to go back to work (sort of). I've turned down some offers, but I had one last week that I thought would be good for my experience etc. They offered me the job but the money was less than I was asking. I thought about it over the weekend and then called back Monday as planned and told them I am interested in the job but I'd like more money than they were offering. The recruiter said he would pass it on and let me know. It's been 8 days now and he has not called or e mailed. He told me once on the phone that he always heard my kids making noise in the background and wanted to know if I was ready for this job and if that would in any way affect my job performance. I'm wondering why he has not called. The kids or the money? Any suggestions? My kids are my job right now and I don't see why it would be a problem for them to make noise in the background. But I'm open to any thoughts or suggestions.

I'm looking for a job, but it's somthing I need to enjoy, so my option was the library.....how much does a librarian get paid and how old to you need to be before you apply? I'm almost 16, so I should be able to get a job soon...am I too young to work at the library? If so, is there any other work that can be done at the library? I would really appreciate it if someone gave me very relivant infomation.

I currently commute 15 min to work everyday and I enjoy my job. My annual salary is 50k. I got a job offer for 80k per year... but the commute is 1.5 hours (2 hrs including traffic) each way. I need to stay in the current area I'm in right now to, so I can't move. Do you think its worth it?

P.S. I live in Northern California

I have been working as a receptionist for a year while taking some time off from my career as a teacher. I worked as an administrative assistant right out of university while I was earning my master's degree.

I want to know if anyone agrees with me. Shouldn't everyone have to be a receptionist at one point in their lives in order to know how awful administrative staff can be treated? When people don't return their calls, we are the ones who get screamed at. Yes, literally, SCREAMED at. What do you think?

I was off of work per company approval through a company approved intermitant Family Medical leave act, and while I was off of work, I missed a scheduled rules exam for my job. The federal law says, I can not be punished for being off during this time, but the company I work for suspended me anyway. I need a good lawyer because this is causing me severe unnecessary hardship.
