I have a small problem. normally I would wear a business suit to an interview but I had surgery on my shoulder and I cannot wear a business suit because I am unable to put my arms over my head and I would be unable to zip up the dress w/a zipper in the back.

The interview is at a banking firm so the dress is very business. I am unsure what to wear. I have a black shirt dress that is below the knee. Would that be acceptable? Or just wear a button up shirt and dress pants?

I am not talking about politics. I am talking about government agencies. I guess I am also wondering if you know of any good government jobs.
Is math the best degree to have? A type of engineering? Computer Science?
Thanks for your input!

I've had some bad luck with jobs lately. One I was laid off after one year and the other I'm being let go after two years because the new leadership wants to go a new direction with the position and I don't meet the new qualfiications. How to I communicate to potential employers that I want a job where I can stay for the next 10-15 years and I am loyal?

I am thinking of becoming a 911 dispatcher. Anyone have any advice or stories about that job. I hear that it can be pretty stressful. But it sounds really interesting.

OK, I just grduated from law school. Now, 2 companies want to hire me, comapny A and company B.

Company A: I trained there before, I know one of the partners who is VERYYYY successful, and I would be working in his team. Bigger firm than company B (second biggest in my country), lower sallary (but I TRUELY don't mind, the difference ain't that big anyway). Right next to me, will be walking to go there which is aplus because traffic here is horrible.

Company B: Smaller firm, yet a big one. 4th or 5th biggest here in my country. Bigger sallary, but would have the title of "trainee" for 2 years, and THEN specialize. 30 mins by car, traffic and parking are horrible.

How can I choose???? Thanks!

I have about 1 1/2 years (going part time in a counseling psychology program) but I would also have to do a one year internship simultaneously. Trouble is you have to be under supervision another 2 years after that to get a license. I heard that in Maryland you don't need a license. No way I'm going to spend all that time since I already have a job I like. But if I could avoid the supervision part, I'd go for it. Could I still get a job without a "license?"

I REALLY like the though of being a paramedic EXCEPT for my dream of international aid. I love everything about a paramedic career except mobility. I'm ONLY really considering nursing or being a doctor because they help but are ALSO able to volunteer their skills to people in need overseas. As an immigrant I know how spoiled we are here in Canada compared to the rest of the world. I would love to be able to help people (physically with personal skills) to give them a second chance at life in underpriviliged countries. Both doctors and nurses are able to volunteer their skills, but are Paramedics? I haven't been able to find any info on it. I mean programs like -doctors without borders- , not ones where you pay to help(Paramedic careers don't make you rich ;P ). The only way I know of is to join the military...but I don't want to join the military just for the slight chance of being able to us my paramedic skills in foreign aid. help....

This was about me being quiet i wrote about this yesterday but just incase you dont know they always complain that i'm too quiet, not that im anti-social, thats not the case at all, i'm just different from everyone. i speak to the customers, isnt that ever enough.

my name is always coming out of someone's mouth behind my back, they think i dont hear, but its becoming alot worse now. i dont feel comfortable at my job, and plus ive only been there for 5 months, it would look bad if i just left instead of staying there for at least a year.

they can't accept that i'm different, alot of times theres nothing to say, i can't just come up to people and start talking about things like "hey did you hear about the fight!" thats what they mostly talk about. wouldnt it seem wierd if you just came up to somebody and started to them! i dont know what else to do, im 20 and a half years old, should i suck it up and move on or just get out. (if thats the way life will be in the job field)

I am a massage therapist working for low pay but with great co-workers/atmosphere . The drive is far and I am struggling to pay off my current tuition. I am being offered a job that pays about $3-5 more but without tips (though my tips are low anyways) This job would require that I work over double the hours (causing me to not be able to attend as much school, which means I would graduate later) and I would work doing very hard massages with only 3 minutes in between each massage to rest. Then again my other job I only get about 7 minutes inbetween, sometimes much less. This new job offer is about 5 minutes away from my house. Personally I don't really want to work doing massage for companies but being a girl and not wanting to travel to strangers houses or have them at mine, I can't work from home. I want to get a job doing make-up (I'm an esthetic student) but it's hard to do, even getting a job at a cosmetics counter is hard without sales experience. All I have is massage. Whattodo?

I just recently got a new phone number and I registered with the donotcall.gov list three days ago. They say it takes 31 days for sales calls to stop and I can't take it. I'm getting like 20 a day & I don't answer them so I don't know why I'm complaining but they're SO obnoxious & these people just KEEP CALLING BACK. So my question is: does anyone know of a FASTER [than 31 days] plan to get these people to leave me alone?

A company I'm interviewing with wants me to fly to Chicago and I am in NYC. I can't afford to fly out there and stay in a hotel but I'm guessing I shouldn't have to. However, nothing about being reimbursed was brought up. I was simply asked if I could fly to Chicago for an interview (via email), I have not yet responded. How should I proceed?
