After ariving on time, having signed an offer letter, I filled out all the paper work they wanted me to (W-4, I-9, etc.), I had to sit in a cubicle for 2.5 hours with my stomach tied up in knots waiting to see what was going to happen next. The pay was good, bennys good, etc, nice people, would you have walked for been more patient?

I have a gray pin stripe A line skirt that goes to my knees (nothing skanky). One stripe in the skirt is blue, so I'm wearing a blue short sleeved vneck sweater with a satin tie around the waist. I'm debating if I should wear a white or blank tank under the sweater. Black simple heels. Does that sound ok??? I didn't want to go too casual but definitely didn't wanna wear a suit.

I want to get a certification or degree in the healthcare field... hopefully something that will require 2 years of school (associates degree) or less. Any recommendations what certification or degree you think I should get?

I love working directly with people, I have excellent communication skills, but I CANNOT handle a field where death happens a lot, and I also can't do anything in a dental office. Any help would be appreciated.

The real estate market in Illinois (Chicagoland area) is slow right now, so there is not a big demand for new homes to be built. My boyfriend is a carpenter, he is in the union and does mainly residential work (framing). If he were to be laid off, what are the best areas in the U.S. for carpenters to find work?

I've just started a temp job today (medical secretary) in a most awful dirty, smelly office from the 60's! I like to start and finish my working day early (hence the whole reason I temp) and the first thing I got when I walked in this morning is "You'll have to work shifts, varying between 08.00 to 5pm and then 9-6pm". I said no. Anyway they agreed to my hours and now I've 'GOT' to take my lunch at 12noon. I don't think this is right somehow. I don't think I should be told when to take my lunch when I'm just a temp. What do you reckon?

we have this anoying coworker who dosent do anything all day except jack around. so turns out this guy thinks that he is next in line for the mgmt position which we all laugh about because he is always in the boss's office due to trouble.

anyway so somehow they blew smoke up his behind and told him that he needs to start being a leader and learn more if he wanted to advance, what they were really trying to say is that he needs to step up and work more.

anyway now he goes around bragging and does all these things he wouldnt touch before, he just volunteered to take on a major project that none of us would even think of doing all alone.

we feel bad for him because mgmt used the same strategy on all of us before to get us going and lied to all of us...thinking we were next for the mgmt position.

will he ever get back into reality ? he just turned down 2 other jobs because he thinks he is moving up

I have scattered work experience that spans a few industries.

I am reorganizing my resume (advised by a recruiter) to show the specific dates and responsibilities to match each employer.

In one particular industry I had several employers because they were short term contracts.

I would like to know how I can best organize these employers so it will not appear to be perceived as negative by a potential employer?

Thanks

I've applied for about 7 jobs, and I haven't received not one call yet. My friend told me to ask their managers and introduce myself to them. Hard thing is, is that I rarely see the managers.

So, is there any thing I have to do to get the managers attention so they'll accept me. I mean, I'll work anywhere in my city, since I really need money. I also made it a goal to get a job this month.
