Careers & Employment - July 2007

No telemarketing, or retail or restaurant. I work hard at my job, and will be studying harder with my apprenticeship schooling. Between rent, tools, and other expenses, I need a part time, short term "moonlight" job to catch up.

I am currently working in a hotel reception. I am getting the best salary I've been able to find after i finished my University. The thing is...It was a good job to start with but now find it too hard to be away from home all week. I have to travel two hours by bus to get to work so I stay at the beach where the hotel is. It's a dead boring place to live...No people live here..Just a few other employteees that I have nothing in common with. Should I quit before finding another job..Or should I wait a liuttle longer till' another chance comes out.????

Or would you take the risk of starting a new job, where it pays better, but who knows what your coworker might be like?

Im a fifteen year old that just got done with freshman year in high school. I am saving money so that I can go to college and eventually be a therapist (the kind that helps people with problems). What should I do to get ready? Should I be involved in anything special....like a club??? Please break down the process of becoming a therapist! Thanks :)

There's this administrative assistant position on a university campus career center. What should I wear for the interview? I'm a male. Do I have to wear a suit? Can I just wear nice dress pants, shirt and a tie instead? And what should I bring? A notebook folder for my resume or a shoulder bag?

If an employee of less than 3 months quits a job without giving a notice, is there a databank that employers can post negative comments to, where other prospective employers can query to find out info? Or is there a way for an employer to post something negative like this (if the employee did nothing illegal, just didn't give notice) to someone's credit report?

I work at a daycare center, and the director just came into the room today to say that it is mandetory for all staff to stay late tomorrow. They didn't give us any prior notice that this was mandetory. Is there any pennsylvania state laws that state that you have to be given a certain amout of times notice of things like this???? If so what is it???? Also can a job hire you for one thing and without notice move you to another position???

been told by an agency to go for another interview despite my protest that its less money as he says I will have more opportuntities there to learn etc and may get bigger bonuses. not sure to trust him or not and I really cannot afford £10k less especially as i will be paying more for travel and probably work longer hours :( but there are opportunities there to learn more but then again with learning more it means more pressure and not much personal time.Thing is i know if i don't go for it the agency will drop me and if i'm successful and they won't budge on the money and I decline the job the agency will drop me too and in the finance market you can't afford to get a bad name wiht agencies

I was wondering if anyone knows of a website where job hunters can go to see how a certain company rates with it's own employees. I came across one the other day but, of course, i can't find it now.

Thanks in advance!

From the age of 11 I wanted to be an accountant. I trained as an articled clerk for 5 years, qualified with a regional prize for my final and, I think, became a pretty good accountant - even, apparently for my proffesion, I had a "wicked" sense of humour.
I entered the big world of industry, was so successful that I was offered and took a high management position but was no longer mostly an accountant. High pay, lower satisfaction - until I had a heart attack attack at 47 years of age and took early retirement. Excellent invalidity pay and now pension but some doubts.
Should I have stuck to my chosen career with more satisfaction, albeit at a lower level of pay, (and possibily avoided the stress/heart attack) or did as I did.
Your views would be appreciated.

I have a terrible, condescending witch of a boss that I have the privilege to be leaving in about two weeks. In the next two weeks, I'd like to make her life as much of a living hell as it can be, but do it legally, and smoothly enough to keep my job until it's time to leave. I know for a fact that I will not need a reference when I leave b/c I'm going to grad school with full funding for the next five years. Here's the kicker - she works for the city and is a vindictive, evil woman, so everything has to be completely legal. Anyone answering that I should just be mature and finish out my prison sentence (haha) is just wasting their time.
