I sent in a resume and they said they were looking for someone better aligned with their needs.

How do I ask what their looking for, or why they don't think I'm right for the job?

Ok so i've been at this job for about 3 weeks, and i cant take it anymore. I work over 40 hours a week with no pay just commission., but i havn't had any sales since i started. The whole company is very slow, not just me. So ive been out for 2 days now with an excuse of a death in the family, which is not a lie. I dont feel like going back again because I'm not making any money at all and cant afford to work for no money at this time. I dont know how to go about quitting bc they are gonna think that i was out for 2 days bc i was planning to quit. I feel bad but i cant afford to be there anymore. :(
What should i say?!

By the way my bf works there too and we are both quitting..ugh!

Okay here is the situation. I found an employer that gave me a project/job with AIG. So basically, I work for AIG, AIG pays my employer, and the employer pays me. So first of all, I started working 3 days ago, but the employer still hasn't given me any forms to fill out in order to have it in writing that I'm working through them. They haven't given me a time sheet nor a I-9 form or any form that I have to sign for about the wage they told me. One of the girls who is also in the same position as me e-mailed the employer about getting paid, employer forms, etc. And this is the response the guy gave us:

You will be temporary contract employee and will be paid accordingly every 15 days. No benefits for temporary contract workers. You will be paid for the hours you worked and approved by the Client Manager. Any overtime will be paid at the same rate.

We will discuss about the rates for the time you worked at our office.

Hi, I am a teenage girl looking for a job to get over the school year and I was wondering what kind of jobs (if any) I could get a car dealership? I LOVE being around cars and I think I would have a lot of fun being there every day. It doesn't have to be with cars, but can you be a cashier or something?

I would love ANY advice, and if it helps I like Ford the best.

The other full time secretary in my office just received the title "clerical office leader". Ok. I have more seniority and knowledge than this woman. She is not "over me", just the two other clerks, I also make $1.00 more an hour than she does. Yet, I still feel offended. Granted, i'm not interested in acquiring more work, it's just like a slap in the face. Any thoughts/comments on this? Am I being silly?

I recently got a job in customer service and I'm so nervous each time I go to work. I'm really shy and I'm not really good with interacting with people. I'm scared that I'll mess up and the people will get mad at me. I've been training for 3 days and I still can't get things right and my boss tells me that I'm making a lot of mistakes. I feel like I'm too shy for this job or any other job out there. I really wish I could get over my shyness and just be good at my job...

I started two days ago in a restaurant as a dishwasher, they pay extremely well, but I just don't like it...I think it might be there is so much to learn and requirements about where dishes go, what you have to do, etc, and it's fast and I'm not used to it. You think I am going to get used t it?
