Careers & Employment - June 2007

High school seems to be passing quickly, I'm already going to be a junior in highschool. And I am quite confused on what it is that I really want to be, I'm really focused on Photography but after researching pros and cons, being a photographer may not be the best choice although it's my main hobby.

I'm interested in ( Photography,Modeling and Psychology)
But don't know where to begin, I want a job that will pay good and something i will be focus on,
I'm good at computers but terrible at math.

it can be something aside from the three top things i've mention any ideas on what i should do this is worrying me a lot.

Please don't tell me to talk to my parents, that's not going to work i've tried various of times and i don't get a good respond.

Thank you =D

I have been at my current job for 7 years-in July. I work in advertising sales. I have NEVER received a pay raise. I am salary based + commission. Besides selling advertising, I am responsible for maintaining our website, rate sheets, and maintaining the ad database on our computers, as well as troubleshooting w/the iMacs, etc. I am only paid $7.50/hr + commission. In the past 12 months alone I have reached my sales goal + many times 50% above that. I think I deserve a raise. My requests for one go unanswered, matter of fact the head manager is avoiding me. I like my job, but, am getting really aggravated. Others around me who have been here fewer years have received raises. Any suggestions? What is a reasonable raise to expect? Thanks in advance!

I'm starting to feel down. The last paying job I held was in 10/2006. Usually I don't search for jobs and if I do I'm picky about it. Some of the interview calls I get from of those calls I only go to 50% to the interview. I do great in the interview and I know for sure interviewer is impressed with me but then I always get rejection letter. Then I question myself what is it i'm not doing right. I want to work and I know if they hire me that i be very good employee. Plz help. Oh i asked one of the company for feedback they never provided me that

My husband is working at a new job (started 2 days ago). well the foreman running the job puts down 8 hours and then leaves after 2. Once he leaves, the crew has to leave. This guy has been doing this about 2 years. My husband has worked for this company before, many years ago. Should he say something to the boss about this? He's nervous as the new guy and they may not believe him. He's also afraid that if boss finds out and he never said anything, he could be fired for that. Or they find out and say well you really only worked x amount of hours so that is what we will pay you. I can't even begin to think of an answer and any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got a job oppertunity on the internet. When I applied they said I must recruit nine more people to make a total of ten. They say they will apply for our visas and pay for our air tickets. Accommodation will be free. I am suspicious. How can I check if this job offer is genuine?

I have been a state certified for my state for over a year now. I haven't been looking for a pharmacy job until now. Do you think it'll be hard for pharmacies to hire me since I been AWOL in the pharmacy industry for so long now.

What retail stores pays good for a pharmacy technician job? (Wal-Greens, Rite-Aid, Target, Wal-Mart, Sam's) I saw the Costco in my area was hiring and I was interested. They said to apply online but would it be better if i go and talk to the pharmacist in-person?

Why do most pharmacy tech. job requires 1-2 years exp. How do we get the exp.? The only experience I ever got is from my externship.

I really need a pharmacy job now since my current job cut my hours short.

I put an application in last Thursday in for a job and my friend took one a day before. She got a call today but I didn't. I had more academic awards and club memberships than she did so I don't understand why I didn't get a call too? Might I get one tomorrow? My references were my pastor, previous employer, teacher, and a family friend. Was something wrong with those? Please help. I really want this job!

Maybe you help manage a small business right now or repair computers for a living, but what things did you want to grow up to be when you were a child? A doctor, a lawyer, a zookeeper...? What were your career goals?

Ok so i joined this website that you join for free to take 1 survey a day for free. First i think the website starts with tinyurl or something like that, but anyway, you have to be 18 or older to take any of the surveys, so I put in my mom's email address and birthdate. Throughout the survey I was asked if I want to recieve info from some website thingie, but I did not notice that i could press a skip button instead of a submit button. I don't know if I will be charged to get that info so if you know please tell me, otherwise I'M DEAD!!!!! Also, give me the name of that website cause I forgot the name. I really appreciate it if you answer!

My boss said to me today, well if you can't perform, I have several other workers who are just as qualified to work your job.

Has it really come down to that? Employers used to beg for workers to stay. Now they don't care as so many people are out for the same job.

Funny story. I've been trying to get a job at this bank for quite some time. Last week I finally got an interview and it went well. They said they would call me on Monday to let me know if I got it or not. But on Monday, they never called. However, I got a call today from the HR manager at the bank (who does not work at that branch) and she offered me the job, which I accepted. However, when I was telling someone about my great new job, they told me they heard it was robbed two days ago. I looked it up, and sure enough it was. A masked man came in with a shotgun and a fake bomb and walked out with a bunch of cash. No one was hurt, but they haven't caught the guy and have no leads (He didn't drive a car, so they can't trace that. He rode a bike, which makes me think he lives close.)
The bank is not in a bad neighborhood. It is a rich, small rural town. This is the biggest story the city has had since the Frog Jump Championships last year.
What should I do? Should I still take it?

If you had the choice that is. Both of us are professional and well seasoned in our area of business. I am confident we will work well together. Perception is what worryies me. The trial to diminish that perception may be difficult. Should I go forth or rethink this decision?

I have had several good interviews but I have not heard anything. After a follow up call I was told I will be notified either way.
