Careers & Employment - September 2007

It seems no matter what kind of job I get, I simply can't keep them.

It's not the work, I don't mind the hard work. But it's the people. I just can't deal with them, I'm so bad at dealing with people...

Anyone have any advice on how I can keep my job? I'm working at Sonic at the momment, but I'm so close to quiting because I can't deal with the stress :(

If someone at work is rude and inconsiderate and seems to always try to make trouble for other people, can that person be fired for it?

I am now planning on starting my career in the states banking on my previous exp. I would like to know the industries that i could apply for and the different job roles that fit my skill set. Appreciate your responses.

I work part time in an office. My boss keeps adding the amount of work he expects me to get done, but he won’t increase my hours. We keep having the same argument…he says “Why isn’t this done?” to which I reply, “Because I didn’t have enough time to get it done”. He doesn’t seem to understand that I don’t sit around eating Bon Bons at my desk; I am working as hard as I can and still spinning my wheels. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

It's a long story, but my last business venture did not pan out. I got a job doing paperwork at flu clinics during school hours, but I just got my schedule, and I would only have 4 days to work over the next two months. I am deeply disappointed.

I need to work during school hours to be a good mom. (Or at least the kind of mom I want to be.) And I'm not going to sell "stuff". I am a very well-rounded and talented person. But having to work during school hours makes it difficult to find a job.

I went for 5 interviews meeting VP's, EVP's, Presidents, HR & the hiring manager and was offered the job, on paper. One issue which had been discussed with an EVP & HR was rather than a discretionary bonus, as national sales director a bonus based on asset growth is more aligned with their objectives & my preference. It was received positively & with enthusiasm. It seems they have changed their mind as far as I can tell as no one is phoning me back. Over the last 10 days I've contacted HR & the hiring manager with polite follow up messages - no replies. My references are pristine and include a bank president. They had a third party agency call to check - odd judgement call - but worse, my references felt they were uninformed & unengaged. The bank president gave a glowing recommend nevertheless. Clearly another candidate has appeared, cheaper & possibly better - I wish the best to the company & hope they get both...but this seems rude to me, is this standard hiring practice?

Ok here's the deal, I applied for a job for which I interviewed for and know that it went well. When asked how much I was looking to make I said between $34K & $36K/yr simply because I figured that if I said anything more they question why since I was making about $31K previously. Now, I've found out that someone else from where I use to work at before also applied there. However, the differences are the following:

He's been there 5 1/2 yrs. I was there 2 1/2 yrs.

He worked in data management, I worked in contracts.

Although they won't know this till either of us begins working there, I know that the quality of work put out by us doesn't compare (I have the upper hand.) not to mention that the other person is not as reliable.

And finally, He's asked for $50K/YR.

I know that they've asked him to come in for a job offer later on today, he knows he won't get the $50K/yr and has mentioned he won't take the job.

When you are in commute, and there's traffic congestion on the way or something, and that's making you late.... Do you ALWAYS call your boss to inform him/her? Or can you kind of hope that the boss won't see you coming in late?

Have been working for company for almost 6 months. Coworkers making job unbearable. Have been offered other job and have taken their offer. They are allowing me two weeks before I start new job, but am afraid if I give notice that they will fire me and I need the money from my last week. I really am happy about the new job I am going to be starting, but I don't really feel I owe them notice considering the way they treat me here (unappreciative and downright rude to me). What do you think?

My husband graduated in May with a BS in mechanical engineering. He has been looking for a job since then with no luck. He even had a professional resume done. Do you have to start off as something else? Is there a secret? What can we do? We live in NH.

My boss' offered me a full time job. I began to prepare for it and spent money, then they bring me in the office to tell me that I am not qualified for it although they told me days before that they knew I could do it. They are worried what other workers might say because they have a little more schooling than me. I have been promised full time since I started this job, Now I feel like I have been looked over and screwed . They did not even let me try to prove to them that I can do this job. Then after letting me down, they tell me I am one of their best workers and that I am always there and they feel bad they cannot find a position for me. This sucks, I am seriously thinking of giving them my notice. What do you yahooers think?
