Careers & Employment - August 2007

The reason I ask is because I have not had a "real job" for about 7 yrs now, (raising 2 boys....plenty of work!!!) and I'm ready to look for a job now. A big part of me feels that I should lie and say that I have been working, while another part of me feels that honesty is the best policy! I really doubt that any employer would hire someone who has been unemployed for that long. What would you do?

People usually dont mess with me. i back was coming from the doctor and she asked me what happend and then she told my boss like i wasnt gonna tell him. me and my boss talked about the whole situation yesterday, and she went and told him like it was a surprise to him.?So i was really offended by it, so i gave her a call and left a message to ask her what her motives were. Am i over reacting or is she just trying make trouble? Word of mouth told me that she used to do what she wanted and when the females started filling the job she started getting really bitchy like she runs stuff,but she doesnt... anywho, what do you think?

I am a very experienced Admin Assist, working towards my BS, but I recently earned my AA and was wondering can that earn me more money? Or is my AA just a 'no increase in pay' stepping stone?

I am currently employed and reside in Michigan and I have been looking for a job the past two months. I originally planned on moving to the East Coast and was applying there, but applied to jobs in California as well.

Well a few weeks later I have a job offer from a company on the East Coast but while on my way back from visiting the company I received a voicemail from a company out in the West Coast that I was interviewing with the past month.

Both are very tempting and would do wonders for my career, what's the best way to approach the situation and not burn any bridges? I'd like to see what the West Coast company has to offer but they would like to fly me out a week and a half from now, while the East Coast position would like me to start ASAP.

I have been doing this crew leader job for more than 4 months and now all of a sudden my supervisor is going to let that man come back and is telling me that im not qualified for the job, but he sure did't mind me working that for the past 4 months if he did't feel like i was qualified why did't he take me of of it earlier, im only 21 and most of the crewleaders are 30's + my supervisor talks down to me like im a little kid and treats me worse than others cause im young, i have just as much knowledge if not more than the other crewleaders, its not fair to kick me to the curve just because im young!!! i don't act imature and i don't want to be treated like i am.

I graduated with a degree in Spanish in 2000, but since then, I've mostly been working menial jobs, though for a year and a half now, I've also been working part-time as a Spanish tutor at a college. I would like to use my degree to land a better job, though, so will the fact that I have spent the last several years working crap jobs keep me from landing a well-paying job that would in which I could use my linguistic skills?

2007-08-05 06:41:09 · 1 answers · asked by Anonymous in Other - Careers & Employment

I hope this is the right place to ask this question so, I really need more hours at work and I'm scared to ask for them. You see, I work a part-time job in retail and I leave for college in a week and won't be working there anymore for the time being.

I asked my boss for more hours a couple weeks ago, and he said he would give them to me, but I haven't gotten any more hours than usual. My work has not been the very best lately so I'm worried he doesn't want to give me extra hours because of that. But I really need extra money for school and it's my last chance to work since it's my last week.

About half the employees are teenagers who're off the schedule this week because of school, so I figured they could spare more hours at least! But I'm afraid to ask because I'm scared he thinks my work has been bad. How should I go about asking him for more hours when I already did and that got no results? Please help, all help is appreciated!

I accepted a job at a local dealership as an accountant. The pay is $35,000 to start & I have to work Monday thru Friday, 8-6, & every other Saturday 10-5. When I interviewed with the current controller & her boss, they explained that I would eventually take over the current controller's position. However, I have been there two weeks, & I have ascertained that the current controller is a TOTAL CONTROL FREAK. She has wanted me to do deposits, book deals, etc, basically the stuff the clerk does. She refuses to show me anything she does on a daily basis. Now I realize I have been there only two weeks, but I have worked for a dealership before doing the same thing. She also set up the accounting system & it must be followed EXACTLY as she has it. She lets me know daily mistakes I have made. I really do not think this lady will leave & if she does, is she going to give me autonomy or micro manage me? I think the job gives her purpose & also did I mention she is the gf of the owner?? Advice?
