I know that most guys have to wait on lists for years, is it the same with firefighters that move to another state and try to get work in that state?

If so would you be willing to tell me how you like it..?
Is it difficult to work your way up? (I heard avg. turnover is 25%/yr)
How difficult is the work load during tax season?

If your willing to talk about your experiences with me; could you leave a note saying it is okay to e-mail you and ask you about what work is like? If so that would be great.. I'm just wondering about some BASIC things..

I've never had a serious job but i'm thinking about taking another vacation...simply because that's what i do..i work really hard save a lot of money and then go. I don't have a career. I just work wherever i please but i was wondering. I just moved to this job in april and was thinking about leaving in october. i only have 3 jobs on my resume. the first i had for 2 yrs. than i went on a huge trip. then i got a job in jan and held that for almost 4 years. I moved to my new state to get a differant job and change surroundings. I had to leave the first job because of various reasons even though i was a great worker they won't give me a good recommendation. so now i've been at my new job since april and i want to relocate back to my home state...or possibly somewhere else.
since i work in jobs that don't have a high retention rate anyway or that always need ppl do you think this will be a big deal or no?

Boyfriend was sacked from his last job on a technicality but it ended up as Gross misconduct! He has an interview 2moro and is cacking his pants that the old firm can tell the new people he got sacked, what for etc etc! I'm trying to convince him that it's illegal for old company to do that! I thought all they could say on reference requests now was yes person worked here or no person didn't work here!? Anyone know for sure how much detail they can give and whether it can include facts? Help us please before I rip his hair out!!!!

I just graduated this May and have minimal HR experience. I took an HR job that pays only 27k, and I'm struggling with my bills. I have student loans, car payment, and all of my living expenses to pay and it's HARD. Can I make more somewhere this close out of college? Should I keep looking?

Say I have made a big blunder out of somebody's life and in my own ways I try to make amends. But it seems like that concerned party does not know and it is like that party continues to harbour ill thoughts about me.

I have other options but radiology tech seems interesting and easy enough to not stress me out. On the other hand, im at a point where I need to start making some real money and Im not getting any younger, so if this wont cut it financially then I will find a new path. Anybody have any suggestions?

This particular boss that I work for is also my landlord and I feel like that he wants my labor just go towards knocking off on the rent only? I also have other people that I work for as well
that are not my land lords but they actually pay me at a better rate and I don't really have any problem being put off being paid. What should I do?

i want to go to college next year, and i'm totally lost on what i want to do exactly.
i was thinking double major in computer science and environmental studies & ecology.
and a minor in philosophy.

i want to do something for the planet so we don't kill it, but i also don't want to be poor.

would i be able to make a decent living off these majors/minor together?
what could i do as a career?
and could i finish it in 4 years?

i'm going to be going to college next year when i'm 16, yes i can go to college at 16. it's called simon's rock college of bard if you're wondering what the college is, i am going to talk to them about double majoring and getting a minor. so i'll finish at the age of 20 (hopefully), would that in any way hurt or help me?

Legal professional input? A human resources manager conducted on site oral swab drug test, stated MRO reported as a failure. The company, union, nor MRO would release the results to me. HR manager had to turn over so called result in order to stop my unemployment benefits-which I am still receiving, as result CCF incomplete, results missing MRO name or signature anywhere on result. I have received information I believe to be proof the HR manager deemed positive herself (most likely typed "result" herself.) No MRO participation in test or result. Do I have any right to sue this woman personally in civil court? Is there any criminal charge to be made here? She also committed perjury during Appeals Tribunal hearing (which a lawyer already informed state would most likely not pursue, due to my benefits not being denied as a result of her lying. She also responded to my request for a service letter, stating I violated the company policy which I did not. Input-please?

In Ohio, if you get fired from a job after working there for over 16 years, for any reason, can you still get unemployment benefits? Thank you for reading this.

p.s.

I am not the one needing these benefits, my job is excellent and I just got promoted, and I love what I do.

I am trying to make a resume that doesn't sound so *all over the place*, lol. Any serious suggestions are greatly appreciated!

From day 1 I knew it wasn't going to work out but I gave it 3 months to see if it gets any better and it hasn't. Do you think I would still be able to list this job on a resume or is 3 months ridiculously short? And do you think my employer will get pissed off, especially because when they hired me, they made it clear they wanted someone who wants a permanent position (at least 1 year), and I said I fit that description.

I want to start off by saying im a lifeguard at a town beach. One day I went and smoked a joint with two fellow employees. This occurred on the grounds. I was relieved from work for two weeks but now it has been brought to higher officials regarding liability. i live in NY if that matters any. I was wondering what could happen to me? Should I just quit the job?
