Careers & Employment - September 2007

I know you can't work full time as a regular employee for the University, but seeing as the Athletic Association is a different entity, is it possible to work with them full time while still pursing a degree, and still get benefits etc.? The reason I am asking is because I have been offered a job with one in the Video Department, and I am working out all scenarios right now. Thank you!

I've lost most of my personal records in a fire, and I need the dates for my past jobs for my resume`; I've read that you can be fired if you put false information on your resume`, but I only have a rough idea of when I started and left each job.

Sponser or donate to a non profit organisation, helping young people with mental health issues? Is there any websites out there that people can just randomly donate to the cause, without it being a registered charity?

Thanks.

Or should I rather ask, what's a good way to be assertive to your boss without causing a conflict? If I feel as thought I'm being treated unfairly, how do I say no and express my reasoning? I work in a restuaruant and when there is no one on schedule whose only assigned to clean up the lobby, I'm usually the only one who is picked to do it. I think it's a personal issue or because I'm a guy. I remember recently I clocked out and I stayed 30 minutes over my schedule doing someone else's job. The lobby looked a mess and my boss came in and "told (not asked)" me to clock back in and get the lobby cleaned. Now keep in mind my shift is over, so the lobby is the third shifts problem. I had things to do and I was already late for a rehearsal, so I finally worked up a nerve to tell her I had to go.

The two programs I may complete are Radiation Therapy Technology, and Diagnostic Medical Sonography. Could someone tell me from their own knowledge about becoming registered after graduating the programs?

Basically, how long does it take, how do you prepare, and should you start working in the meantime?

Thanks! : )

This is a "what if" scenario: I interview for a position that is located in a city that is 900 miles away. I get offered the position. When do you think they would expect me to start? I know that I would have to pack up and move. If they offer relocation assistance, would that effect the date of the first day on the job? What type of relocation assistance do most companies offer? What if you own a home that may take a long time to sell? Thanks in advance for as much information as possible!

Is it absolutely necessary to wear a suit with a jacket on an interview? If so, can the blouse be untucked and the jacket open? I can't stand the jacket. They are short and my stomach isn't flat. It makes me self-conscious and uncomfortable. Any ideas? Both would be neatly pressed. I am not a sloppy person.

It's a guide for low income, homeless and displaced people that lists where they can receive aid such as food, shelter, medical treatment, and guidance. It's based off of the successful "Dove" guide distributed throughout Europe. Please check it out at whereguide.org and give your comments (good or bad). Thanks!

Should job description and duties be in complete sentances or bulleted summaries---and if yes, use of periods appropriate, and if not---it is simply a personal preference or a universally understood neccesity. Thanks

Is your biggest challenge:

Advertising?
Finding New Customers?
Finding leads to build your business?
Internet Marketing?
Getting a high ranking in the search engines?
How to build a website?
How to follow up with your customers?
Finding the training and support to make your business grow?
How to develop a budget and/or a buisiness plan?
Organizing your workspace?
Managing your time?
Other?

If you don't have a home business, but are looking for a home business, what is your greatest challenge here?

Finding a product and company that is legitmate?
Finding coaches and mentors?
How to research what is out there?
How to afford the start up cost?

Thanks!

My colleague got a promotion and her old job is up for grabs. I'm bascially her understudy and I was very interested in the job in the beginning and I expressed my interest to my boss. My boss didn't seem too impressed with me as far as taking over and I figured that management was probably looking at other options, which was fine, though I couldn't understand why I wasn't at all being considered. In the meantime, I did some soul searching of my own and realized I really don't want the position, though I do want the money, and have decided to look outside my department for other options in the future. As it turns out I'm now being considered for the job, I think they're desperate, but I no longer want it. Will it look bad if I still don't apply for it because I'm no longer interested? Should I apply?

This is long, and complicated. Please read, as I am looking for the best advice possible.

At the end of April, I received the official offer letter from a company, and I accepted it at beginning of June. I graduated from college, and officially started September 4th.

The biggest factor when making the decision was the location--the company is in a smaller town about 50 miles out of the city. I could've chosen to live in the suburbs a little closer to the town, however, the company's offer letter included a company car--which meant if I was willing to drive 45 minutes each way and pay for the gas (total 100 miles everyday), I would be able to live in the city and commute without adding miles to my personal car.

I just saw this job ad online and I'm not sure they're still looking to hire people. Should I just contact the employer and ask him?

So here's the deal...I recently moved to Atlanta, GA and I am have a tough time finding work. My background is in administrative support, most recently as a legal secretary for 2 years at a criminal law office in Florida. And I have a bachelor's degree.

An acquaitance suggested that I try being a cocktail waitress
(specifically at a gentlemen's club) in the meantime to make some quick money. My question is how likely is it that I can be hired with absolutely no experience in the food service/beverage industry?

I've been checking ads (craigslist, local newspaper), and I found a position as a cocktail server at an upscale restaurant in a 5-star hotel. I know it doesn't take a Ph.D. to take an order and serve someone a drink, but it goes back to that whole "lack of experience" thing. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks a million!
