My 17 yr. old son has done some misc. work for people over the summer. Mowing lawns for neighbors. He also helped build an addition, and did some roofing work. He was paid cash for these jobs. He was paid by the job for mowing the lawn. But the other work he was paid $10 hr. cash. Can he put this stuff down on a job application? How should he word it? Does he say self employed?

The job applications he will be filling out will be for his first job. He filled out a few applications last winter, but didn't have anything to write down for employment. He's hoping that the little bit of work he did over the summer will be helpful. He's just looking to get a job at like Walmart or something.

I work as a cashier at Target.
I started two and a half weeks ago, and today I realized how much I dislike it.
It's boring and I'm wasting my time.
School starts in two weeks and I want to quit before then.
I work tonight and am supposed to work for the next five days but I'd much rather not.

I guess my question is, would it be horrible if I called today and quit via telephone? If not, what could I say?
Would they force me to work two more weeks?
Or should I just say I'm going on vacation this Friday for two weeks, because there's no way they'd give me that much time off, so I could quit with an excuse. Though I suppose that would be immature, but who cares? I'm not planning on making this my career..

I've just never had a job before and need advice on how to go back to the lovely days of unemployment I miss so much.
Thanks.

No one is perfect... Is there anything you did on your first job interview that you regret?

Did you end up getting the job? If so, congratulations! And if not, how did you learn from your mistakes?

Well now i've found it and the job is being offered to me, but the job i'm at now where I am miserable, the other person that worked here was just fired yesterday out of the blue, and now it's just me, but I was planning to leave way before she got fired. I want the new job sooooo bad, but feel guilty every time I think of leaving cuz' of what just happened. Mind you that I have been treated kinda unfair since I first started here. My boss even came to me and said don't leave, but she doesn't know I want to leave. What should I do?

What happens if you are off work for an injury, workman's comp pays for Doctor and also sends you a check, but then you quit the job before going back? Need to know if they will try to make me pay for the doctor visits, or repay the one workman's comp check I will recieve.

I just got sprained ankle and Doctor put me off job until the 15th. Job is unnecessarily dangerous due to foremen drinking and driving, and foremen and most crew members breaking all other traffic laws, causing extrememly dangerous traffic situations, and sometimes work accidents. (There is alot of driving involved). Snitching is not an option and would probably be futile, as I am sure management already knows of their behaviour. (Turnover at this company is so bad that they will hire anyone but a quadraplegic).

If I decide to just not go back, will this be a legal deal-breaker of some kind, and will I be stuck with bill for doctor visits? Will I have to repay the 1 workman's comp check I will get?

and without doing a background check?

Are they desperate for the money? I'm trying to see things from their point of view, and I have no experience in recruiting.

True story--this is a "contract" position--and they wanted to start me "today"---and said they'll Fed-Ex drug test paperwork this week--and if I don't pass, what they'll do is terminate my contract. Currently, I have no contract. I have signed nothing. They haven't even checked my references---they only have my resume. Something doesn't feel right about this.

I would really like your opinion. Thanks!

you have ever worked at.??? I'm talking about the most money, how fun it was, and ...why was it the best.???
My best job was as a Bell boy at a hotel, because I got salary, tips, a free hotel room, got to see customers in all types of dress, and got to eat free in the cafe. It was fun too...

We live in MI, and have been contemplating a move to another state (which one is unknown at this time). I'm wondering if moving to another state with a better economy is a better idea than to continue to loof for jobs here.

I have an interview tomorrow at 4pm at Spencers Gifts in the Plaza Bonita mall and I needed some pointers on what to expect the interviewer to ask. This job interview is different than any other job I've applied for. Has anyone worked for Spencer Gifts and remember what the interview was like? I'd like to be prepared because I REALLY want the job!

I have an interview with Cintas this week for a route sales specailist. The job, from what I understand is picking up and delivering uniforms and upselling other related products. The hiring manager said to dres to impress. I should have asked him to be more specific, but i did not. Do you think a tie and dress pants are too much? I am planning on wearing khakis and nice shirt.

What difference does it make if you made more or less on your previous jobs than the one you are applying for?

I do not and will not work over 40 hrs because I'm only paid for 40 hrs. On the contrary, my hubby works about 60hrs a week while he is on salary for 40. Would you do it? I hate it because it takes away from time with the kids and family in general. Any thoughts? Would you do it?
