Im getting laid off from my current job but I am going in for an interview at JCPenney for loss prevention. I have no retail or LP experience but they want me for an interview anyways so that is good. But I know my chances of getting the job are smaller because of the lack of experience. Should I use the fact that I catch on quickly to new things? At my current job I had no experience going in, and all I did was pack parts into a box and tape it up (very easy and simple) but the supervisors wanted me to run their biggest, most productive press after working there for a month. So maybe I could use that example to pursuade them to hire me. Give me some good ideas, anything should be helpful.

On walking into the factory, the MD noticed a young guy leaning against the wall, doing nothing.

He approached the young man and calmly said to him. How much do you earn?" The young man was quite amazed that he was asked such a personal question, he replied, none the less, "I earn $ 2,000.00 a month, Sir. Why?"

Without answering,the MD took out his wallet and removed
$ 6000.00 cash. And gave it to the young man and said, "Around here I pay people for working, not for standing around looking pretty! Here is 3 months' salary, now GET OUT and don't come back".

The young man turned around and was quickly out of sight. Noticing a few onlookers, the MD said in a very upset manner, "And that applies for everybody in this company".

He approached one of the onlookers and asked him, "Who 's the young man that I just fired ?" To which an amazing reply came of, "He was the Pizza delivery boy"!

I'm a student nurse, and a male. I was just wondering if any experienced male nurses knew what the best magazines to order would be, or any great websites to find scrubs and equipment? Thanks for your answers. I am very excited to actually be able to practice as a nurse and I haven't had much luck finding men's scrubs/clogs... Help!

I keep hearing that it is so hard to get a good job and even harder when you have something like this hanging over your head. I am 34, working on my bachelors, and have changed my whole life around. I just want to get a second chance at a successful, good life. Sometimes I get scared I will spend all this effort for nothing if no one will hire me.

I work for a O.T.B in new york.It is a politically driven job.Depending on what party is the majority in the county thats who runs otb.About two years ago the the tables turned and power changed and NOBODY got a raise.They also took away overtime,if you work on a holiday there is no time and a half and not even a cost of living raise.Also im not forced to do political work its but its looked down upon if i dont and the hopes of a merit raise goes out the door.So no matter what i do for otb doesnt count its what i do politcally that does .Being connected to someone political helps your sallary as well, but good luck if your not.The scale of pay is either fantastic or not guess what side im on?Is this legal to operate a company like this?If i want to complain,i have no union or a relative in politics to protect me and they would fire me just like that.

Hi everyone,

What do you think about my life? How can I improve it? (Sorry for the poor grammar--English is my second language.)

I am 22 years old. I am a lower middle class. I am a virgin. I am a good person. I am studying full-time (last year in a Master's program) I am working two part-time jobs. I want to save my money ;therefore, I have no cars, no phones, and living in a little room. I hardly have a social life because I am spending my time working and studying.

Sometimes, I am proud of myself because I will have my master's without debts or student loans. Sometimes, I feel so discourage and down to see other people my age have fun and enjoy life while I have to work so hard.

What do you think? Please advice. Thank you so much for your kindness.

I just started working for a great company two weeks ago. And I'm really excited about my new job -- However my boss who btw is really handsome, Is a little hard to read. I suspect that he’s attracted to me by the way he looks at me. If I don't react to his subtle suggestive behavior - will he fire me?
Help: What do you suppose I do...I really like my new job, and don’t want to jeopardize it?
Should I tell him I am attracted to him too, but would never pursue this type of relationship at work. Or flirt or come on time on the job. I am really not that type of person. Besides he's married with children. I am not married and do not have children, but would never even consider having an affair with my boss.
Every time I walk into his office I notice the beautiful pictures of his wife; but I can’t look at them…it just makes me feel really bad. One night working late in the office my boss -- while no other employees were around - My boss walks slowly pass my desk and groans sexually like he's was getting off!

Is this just all in my head, or is this some type of weird office attraction?
Should I give it a few more weeks to decide if it's really an attraction, because maybe he was just tired because it was late???

Or maybe he just looks at everyone the way he looks at me like he’s having some type of deep thought? Is it I who is crazy or what’s really going on here?
