Careers & Employment - August 2007

i am insecure of my self because my body is think and slim compared to other average guys ...

when i attend an interview i feel that my slim body makes me think that the other person when he sees me he get the idea that i will probably not fully fill my position as a grownup guy ... and i always felt that other people see me as a teenager because of my body ... am 27 years old

i am not muscular at all ... not even a little fat ... that make me so insecure when i stand to other avrage guys ...

i am 1,72 meters high (5.6 feet) and weight 60 kilos(132 pounds) .... am not short , but thin...

my question is , how can i make my self feel better about my self psychologically ...

i am working on my body now, lifting some weights ... but in the mean wile i need to improve my self confidence from the inside

thanks

I realize that three fourths of success is one hundred percent connections. (if that even reasons) As such I was wanting to ask anyone out there who might be knowledgeable in regards to building up connections amongst people. In short I am a young college student who has a burning desire to be more successful than everyone else. It is a nature in me that will not accept to be anything less than absolutely the best at what I do, no matter what that is. i also know though that I have not a clue how to get to know the people at the top in order to build a network of people that I can use in the future.
So how does a young, relatively unnoticed and unimportant, college student meet people whom he has absolutely no chance of meeting under normal everyday circumstances? what can i do to get my name out there so that people will remember me when I go knocking on the door of opportunity upon graduation? Thanks for your help!

When I was first hired here I was hired as the receptionist all I did was answer calls. As the course of the years now I have taken on many different duties.

Such as keeping the company Presidents agenda and screening all his calls.

Coordinate all of my company’s travel which my company consist of very intensive travel (RACE SUPPORT) I handle all hotel agreements and corporate accounts.

Order all of the office & kitchen supplies.

Handel some HR forms for new hires.

And answer all the over flowing calls still.

Right now my job title is Admin assistant/ Travel is that correct?????

My job is SO boring to me! Ive been at this company 4 years, it's a very good company which is why i'm still here. I dont see myself moving, i also dont see myself loving any job. I am in school for a masters in communication, I work in publishing sales, more on the support side of things. Im kind of hoping that once i get my MS I'll be able to do something else...but for now i'm really bored to tears. Anyone else feel like me?

I live in Illinois and cannot find a job because of a Domestic Violence Charge in Florida over 4 years ago. I know I have to state that on my application, but I've applied for over 50 jobs and have not even had a bite. If I don't put this down and they do a background check, then I'm going to look like a liar. What can I do?

If you worked at a great company as an intern (because you didn't have any work experience after college to being with), that pays GREAT, but you are not using much of your skills, but there is another part of the facility that has what you would like to do that does not currently have a position open. Would you stay here until that other area opens a position, keep doing what you are doing now (for 1 more year) which is some-what career related, or leave and find a permanent job within your field?

My answer:
I have no idea when they will open a position in the other area
Or move on? I dont want to move on because I feel that just 1 yera of work experience that is not as much career-related won't cut it to get me a permanent job, or they might even say "you still don't have enough experience.. you need at least 3 years..."

Have you ever worked for or are currently working for this company? I was looking into this and wanted to seek others experience with them. I see they are registered with BBB and been around for about 10 years. Let me know how you liked/ disliked it.

I'm filling out a job application online requiring me to input two professional references. I need to fill these parts in as the fields cannot be left blank. I have one person in mind I could ask (a former supervisor) but need a second.

I've been self-employed for the past few years, so I don't have any recent supervisors or coworkers, and my supervisors from past jobs (besides the one mentioned) left their departments long ago and I have no way of getting a hold of them. It's been years since I've been out of school, so I don't have any teachers, counselors, or community service leaders I could ask who would actually remember who I am to vouch for me.

The only other person I can think of is my current client, but I don't know any etiquette regarding asking them. 1) The job I'm applying for has nothing to do with the kind of work I do for my client. 2) I don't want my client to think this other job will take away from the work I do for them--I want to continue to work with them.

Ok, so im between those two. Ive asked friends and family about it and as predicted friends said game designer and family said psychologist. I like grame design because of the variety of jobs out there and because of my vast imagination and drawing abilities but I also like psichology because im a very good listener and i find the human mind interesting. But heres the thing: i like psichology but i dont like reading and i like game design but i hate math. So yeah, let me hear out your opinions.

I have just recently moved up to a full-time position at work, and have 14 holidays (not including weekends or stat holidays) to use before December 31. I don't want to take my time off too soon, but my company prefers it if I use all of my vacation time before the end of the year, since there is no rollover to the next year. Between now and the December, when are some acceptable times to use my holidays?

Okay, so I got the application to the following stores:

EB Games (video game store)
American Eagle (clothing)
Gamestop (video game store)
Pac Sun (clothing)
Barnes and Noble (book store)

Basically I'm just applying for positions such as cashier, customer service person, you know those store positions.

So when I go to turn in my application, who should I give it to? The store manager, or the person that gave me the application?

Also how should I dress while giving the application, decent, casual, etc?

Thanks!

I am thinking about changing careers. I have a BS in Marketing, but I may like to be a lawyer. NOT one of the sleezy bag type of lawyers either!

But I have read conflicting info on the subject of whether or not there is a need for lawyers and I heard enrollment is down in law schools.

Any Idea.

The deadline to turn it in is Friday. I just found out about the job yesterday and have been scrambling to update my resume and write a pertinent "letter of interest".
Will it look bad if I turn in my resume tomorrow? It's supposed to be either mailed or emailed, but I'm afraid the mail won't get there in time. The job has been posted in the paper since july 24th, but I only occasionally peruse the employment section. Will it look terrible if it arrives on the day before the deadline?

I'm considering turning it in personally, and not even mailing it. Should I do this? The ad specifies either email or mail, but I think emailing a resume is unprofessional. Please advise!!!!

I am seperating from the militarty after completing my 4 years of service. Would you be more inclined to hire me or would you hire some kid that took the 4 year college route? Also I am about to finish my assosiates, am 24 yrs of age; so that is just about the age of my fellow job hunters. Anyways if you were the Interviewer who would you pick and why? Thank you.
