when you're a 24 year old college student?

I work at a retail because the hours are flexible and I don't have any other job experience.

I am 20 and currently doing part-time work as a telemarketer for my university during the summer.

My vocal teacher offered me an opportunity to sing Soprano 1 at a church. You sing twice a day on Sundays and the pay is supposedly pretty good. However the church is located 45 minutes drive from my location. I don't have a car, and I'm not sure how long it takes by bus.

Would you try for this singing job or just forget it because of the transportation problem?
( I don't live with my parents either, so I can't ask them to drive.)

Recently, I have read many articles screaming the shortage of "qualified" patent attorneys and that there is a shortage of "talent" in this area. Now, I understand the "language" of recruiting/staffing and am wondering if this so-called "shortage" is real OR, like other so-called "demand driven" phenomena in law firm hiring just reflects the current attitude of the legal community--that there are 2 types of attorneys: (1) acceptable with proper pedigree that tends to favor privilege over all else, as it ignores that some very intelligent students may opt for a more economical approach to legal education as opposed to merely looking up the latest rankings; and (2) UNACCEPTABLE as not having the blessed five-points on the star, all of which tend to reflect acceptable class variables. I ask this because there are countless unemployed but FULLY LICENSED patent attorneys in my network of colleagues. Where are they? With the other UNACCEPTABLE but capable attorneys--in doc review pits.

Hi There

I have recently been made and offer that jointly start up a business, now before I carry on I am currently a full time student (and University) and am very dependent on that status. Now my question is that if I become a partner within the business will that nullify me full time student status? and is there anyway of avoiding loosing that status?

I have degrees coming out the wazuu and still the jobs are being given to people who don't even have half the qualifications that I have. It makes me so angry that I just want to say to hell with all you bastards. I'm getting so tired of playing this losing game. You spend a fortune on getting the best education avaliable, and then the job goes to someone who is not even qualified. If I had all the money back that I spent on getting a good education, I would not need to look for work...I'd be a rich man. What kind of society is this anyway? I'm so tired of being crapped on. I just want to run away and live in a little log cabin in the woods, and they can all take their god damn job and shove it where do sun don't shine. This rat race is really wearing me down, and I don't know what to do about it.

I have looked on places like gumtree but all applicants need generally at least 2 refs in this line of work or experience......but how do you start out?! Please help! Thanks!

I'm redueing my resume because I haven't had much luck on finding a job and I think it's because the only education I have is HS. Would it be wrong to say I'm working my my associates in some type of degree just to boost my resume a little. I will be working on my associates degree soon, but haven't started on it just yet.

I was a Junior Network Administrator for a fortune 500 company mid 90's to early 2000. I turned my attention to another profession for some time and am looking to re-enter the IT field after completing my degree. In beginning to prepare my resume, I began a search for my former company. As it turns out, they are no longer in business under their previous name and have since changed businesses altogether. I've contacted their HR department and was told that they do not keep records after seven years. I want to list this experience on my resume, however there is no way for someone to verify that I did in fact work for them? What is the best way to address this in a resume and on an application.

Here is the question
What are your top 2 strengths?
If someone had a resume identical to yours, how would you describe what makes you unique? What’s not on paper?
If you can, please explain significance testing in your own words?

I know that each place is different in terms of emplyment and time, but i'm just a little extra anxious since its my first time trying to get a job. How long should the usual waiting period for them to contact me to tell me whether i got the job or not?

Thanks in advance.

I started a new job and its soooo boring. I can't quit because i'm only going to be working there for ten days anyway. I never feel like going in the morning and I get really sad and tired and I just don't feel like talking. I ask people if they want to do surveys on the phone and some people are very rude which makes it even worse. What can I do?

It seems some people are oblivious to what a call center rep.has to endure throughout the course of one day. Is it really constructive for people to endlessly repeat themselves like they are fixated on the crisis, or to whine like spoiled rotten little children who don't get their way? This does not help them get their problems resolved. Who would expect to get help when they are throwing a fit? Do most customers really understand what it's like working in a call center?

I need advice! For the ones who are working as a radiologic Technicians, MRI Technicians or Sonograper, please tell me which job you think is the best. I am really interested in those career fields. In the states I live in, you can go straight to the sonographer program but you have to go to Radiologic Technician program first to become a MRI Technician. I think to go to Radiologic Technician program gives you more opportunies in the future. Is money better than how much Sonographers make? Is it hard on your body to do the MRI technician job? How hard is the program? Please help me. Thanks!

You have job offer contigent of verification of education, background etc. Your final degree education is from another country from 18 years ago.
The only verification left is education and it could take time because things in that country work kinda slow.

The new employer needs you to start at a particular date and for that to happen you have to give in 2 weeks notice before education verification is finalized and before u get an final ok confirmation from new employer.

Would you give the 2 weeks notice and take risk that all would go ok? Or you wudnt want to risk in case things go wrong.

There is no issue with the education except for the verification process.
