i was fired from GAP because I confessed to discount abuse. The STUPID LP agent shut me into the office for over an hour, pretty much pressuring you into confessing something, because they say they can find out ANYTHING you've done. Later that day, 3 others fell victim to the same thing. I thought it was so wrong, and did not have to lead to termination. I LOVED that job. But could there have been anything i could have done to save it?

I have been working on my resume. In the experience section, I have listed my main duties for each job with Bullet points. Now, should I write a description of that particular duty under each bullet point, or just leave it as is? I am so lost when it comes to this stuff :(

I got offered a full scholarship books,tuition,lab coat for a Nursing program at a Community College.

And I got accepted to a University that I want to attend however,
I have to take out Loans to pay for it..
I think taking the scholarship will allow me to earn an associates in nursing and I could use that and apply for a Degree Completion at the University???

If I take the scholarship I will nor have to worry about how I will pay for my tuition...

I have talk to a few Nurses and a Dr to get some advice and I have been told that a Full Scholarship is just about unheard of and to take it..

And I have been told to follow my heart and go to the University.

I do not want to depend on Loans to get me threw school.
I want advice from other students and Current Practitioners

I live in greater london, I have just finished my exams in college and i will hopefully go to university this september or the next year. I have applied for loads of simple jobs like working in a shop, garden centre and even being a cleaner, but they all just don't reply to me or turn me down. Alot of my freinds have jobs for the summer, I have even tried all the theme parks near me and everyone has taken up those places too. Its so annoying!! It is probably because I have never had a job before apart from a couple of work experiences, but people have to start from somewhere, right? How do i find out about restaurant vacancies or high street shops? Thanks.

I'm wondering if you have to give in a two weeks notice even though you've only been working for a month. This is in Canada and I'm wanting to quit. I've been working for ONE MONTH at this retail place, how do i quit? Is a notice required? I'm still on probation and I feel like I must quit because there are so many rules, like being 2 minutes late through traffic is no excuse (3 lates during 3 months = terminated), sell a certain price during your work shift (6 hours = $900)... when theres absolutely no commision... even for my sister's wedding i had asked my boss that i need a day off for it but she schedualed me and told me i have to find someone to "switch shifts" with. Can someone give me feedback and answers... both negative and positive.


BTW, MY PAY IS ONLY $7.25/hr.

and no criminal history to get a job as an OTR driver?
I do not generally do well in job interviews. My communications skills are not the best. I was working as a technician for a fortune 500 company for several years. Have been unemployed for the past year.

I have not yet attempted to find a truck driving job. I have heard that there is a shortage of drivers, but I suspect there are plenty of unemployed people who would be willing to give truck driving a try. If you have any knowledge of this industry, would appreciate your comments.

I am interviewing for a position which is almost a mirror of my current job, but the pay scale starts significantly higher (and my current company is unwilling to offer a raise despite exceptional performance). How do I address this inevitable question ('I see you have similar experience at X Company? What is your interest in working with us at Y Company?) while sounding professional? I cannot offer an indication that growth prospects, etc are better at Y Company

I'm 53 and have been working in the same field for more than 30 years. I'm tired of all the stupid sucking up and having to listen to snotty 30 year olds who are more skilled socially tell me what to do in my technical field. I'd love to retire but I'll probably never have enough money. So I'm working in a job I hate that I can't leave because my family needs the income and medical benefits. And don't tell me to "follow my bliss," cut back on expenses and just have a wonderful time. In America, if you don't have decent health benefits, you're screwed and if you're 53, the chances of getting hired by someone are pretty slim. I'm also working a lot of hours and between that and a difficult home situation, I don't have time to "take classes and improve myself." Not that it matters. I'm so sick of corporate America but I'm stuck with my life. So, how do you suck it up and deal with this? I don't want to hear from anyone under 50. You have nothing to tell me.

I am trying to get a second part-time job but seems like everytime I fill out applications and I fill them out the correct way and also give my resume, I never get any responses back from the employers, I think its because of my age I'm 48 and all they would hire now is the young people, I thought age was a discrimination, I filled out applications for like dunkin donuts several times and retail stores and for foodservice positions, right now I'm an assistant manager where I work at but its not an everyday job its mostly a weekend job like fri, sat, and sundays, every once in a while we may work for a whole week and then we may have sometime 1 or 2 weeks off until something else comes up, the young people gets hired before me. can someone plz give me a good answer? Thanking you in advance

I was recently fired from my job for sending un-related work emails. You know, the funny jokes emails millions of people forward everyday. In my case, because I was a supervisor I was told that I should have known better/funny emails to subordinates/coworkers was inappropriate and against company policy. Although I saw it as boosting moral, I have learned from this and vow to never do it again - ever. My question is, how do I put this on a job application without getting my application tossed in the trash? I have excellent work history and references. I spoke to my previous supervisor (who was crying when upper management let me go) and although he thinks I was an excellent employee - the company policy forbids him from giving any type of references (only HR can do that). I'm applying for a position in the police department so I want to keep my integrity without disqualifying myself from the applicant pool.
