Careers & Employment - June 2007

I'm accepting a job offer at this company...and they are asking me for "Anticipated Start Date." There is a quite bit of paperwork that need to be done before this date for my new employment and I'm not absolutely sure how long this process will take. Would you think "Anticipated Start Date" can be postponed for a few days if everything doesn't work out like I originally planned?

What does the typical working day involve?
What are the hours like?
Pay?

What's the best way to get into it?

Obviously within the UK, so could Yank answerers please keep their irritating "Boston/douchebag/like h'yeh" answers for their own lame boards.

Thank you.

I work at a hotel as a shuttle driver for a few months now, I have to pick up LOTS of heavy bags (luggage) and the other day, I picked so many up that my lower back really hurt and continues to hurt after a week of no work. I didn't go to doctor. My bastard manager keeps calling me to see when I can come back, because he says this time off thing is not working out for him.
What do I do? I need money, but can't lift those heavy bags and now my back hurts.
Thanks so much for your help.

Why is it that when I answer the phone with the name of my company (EX: Good morning, thank you for calling ___________) customers always say... uhhh yes where am I calling? Or when I answer the phone and the customer starts telling me his whole life story when I dont even know what hes talking about and hes just holding up my other calls? Why is it that ppl are so stupid and they dont know who they want to talk to when I answer the phone, they are all like uhh... mmm... uhhhhhhh, uhh, ma'am uhh, can I talk to.. uh uh uh uh uh... hmmm. uh. Aghhh that makes me want to yell at them. Why is it that when ppl call a business they ask, yes who's this? What diffrence does it make what my name is? Why, why are ppl so stupid when it comes to calling to a business?

My partner chose to quit his part time job at the end of oct/beging nov 2006. Due to unforseen circumstances I ended up moving in with him and his parents. I have a full time job at 39 hours per week. I pay £200 per month for the pair of us because he is unemployed. We spoke about it & he suggested doing a course to get a qualification to ultimately get a better job, but have a part time onside run along side his course. I was the ever encouraging girlfriend & agreed to pay the £75 per month for his course till he got a job. He then got a job in mar 2007 that was only 4 hours a week, and he quite after 3/4 weeks.

Now he says he can't be bothered to look for work or do his course, which will cost just short of £3000, regardless of wiether he does it or not now, which i am subsequently paying.

He talks about having our own place and family and stuff, but he doesnt understand that until he gets a job its impossible! He thinks all I do is nag when I talk to him about it. What to do?

My supervisor passed around his daughter's girl scout cookie order form thing and I ordered one box of cookies and so I waited a while and I saw him pass out other orders to folks but never recieved mine so one day I confronted him about it and he told me his car got burglarized and that his trunk was messed up and could not get into it and supposedly the my order was in the trunk. So I was nice and said ok well whenever you can get them will you give them to me he said yes. Well its been since Feb now and I confronted him a few more times said he still couldn't get them. Now I am fed up so I would like my money back, I just don't know how to approach my supervisor about it without being mean. Any ideas of what I can say??? Thanks!

I'm anti-social and physically disabled (arthritis in my hands/shoulders limits my ability to lift, type, and perform any sort of repetitive motions) and I'm working with a state program that helps disabled people find work. The only problem is that I don't really know what kind of job would be good for someone who hates to be around people.

I used to work in retail, but I hated it and can't stand the thought of going back to that line of work. I would appreciate any thoughts and opinions anyone would be willing to share. I've got a good opportunity to get back on my feet and become self-sufficient and not rely on government money to survive and I'd like to make the most of it.
