So, I have this job that pays marginally well, & to be honest; I do not actually have to work hard at all. However, after 17 years, I am at the same salary I was 5-6 years ago. Plus, there exists a "ceiling" on how much I can earn. At which, I am at the max, & have been for YEARS!
So what do you cool cats think?

ever since i can remember I have wanted to be a doctor. recently, i have felt that maybe this career my not be the best for me. i talked to some people, and i think a lawyer could better suit my personality. the only thing is, my family is full of doctors, and if i became a lawyer, they would be pretty mad, and think that there are too many lawyers and they don't make enough money. is this true? is being a lawyer a satisfying job?

I am considering applying for a couple of jobs a state hospital in the are that a i live in. It's the largest hospital in the area, by far.
THe requirements are that you have customer service experience and have an associates degree, which i have, there are a couple of other things like, knowledge of poweroint and excel and etc and previous secreterial a plus which i don't have previous secreterial, i know only a little of poweroint, access and that stuff from college.

However my mother who is a volunteer at a much smaller hospital thinks that i ought to go and become a volunteer and that would be a good start,

1. she has worked as a volunteer for over a year and has gotten no job offers thier.

2. I am already working hard 40 hours per week at a crappy job that i have had for four years and am looking to replace.
and i am not thrilled about working for no compensation, also they are somewhat often calling her in for more volunteering.

WHat should I do???

I just lost my job in the Mortgage Industry, and I've been applying to several places, but nothing is coming through in my area. I am considering taking a job at the Home Depot or Kohls just until I figure things out, and to have income of course. The thing is, when I go to apply to these places, I don't want them to think I'm overqualified to stock shelves, because my resume shows dollar amounts and sales quotas, etc...

So my question is, if I'm applying to a part time or full time hourly retail position, that any 16 year old kid can do...should I gump down my resume?

And second, If the interviewer asks...what would be the best response to give, as to why I'm demoting my career?

This girl is a perfectionist and is snoby and bitchy! And she thinks she knows it all. She is pretty good, but I know I am too. Its just I'm prone to mistakes, but so are others including her sometimes. Should I speak with my boss about this? I don't like her pointing out mistakes to my boss since this makes me look bad. Please help!

My friend came to me with a problem, and I don't quite know what to tell her. She is beginning an internship tomorrow, and she and the lady that will be her boss during the internship, have already gotten off to a wrong start. First of all, she is requiring that for this internship, my friend have transportation and a laptop. My friend had neither of these things, and could not possibly afford a car, so she explained the situation and the lady was fine. However, the laptop was a must, so my friend took out a loan and bought a new laptop. The problem is, she had to start her internship several weeks late until she had the money to buy the laptop, because her supervisor did not want her to come into work without a laptop. So now, the lady has complained to my friend's Professor in school (internship is a required class course), and my friend is scared to go to the internship at all now because she thinks the lady hates her. If you were her, would you quit or suck it up and go?

I was fired for threating a coworker when she was at my house and she went to work and told the supervisor. They fired me. Me and the coworker were lovers. But anyway if an employer finds out I was terminated will that keep me from getting a job?

Tomorrow I have an interview with a celebrity actor to be their personal assistant. Should I hide the fact that I'm pursuing acting as a career and that I have an agent and have experience and am a member of the Screen Actor's Guild and that I go on auditions or is it ok that I reveal this info as long as I make it clear that I'm not looking to be discovered while working for them, I'm just there to soak up the knowledge and gain experience. Or should I just hide the fact I'm an actor and say that I'm unsure what I want to do in the entertainment industry but I have many interests acting, producing, directing...

Before I got fired, I found out that many people that I worked with knew about it. One of the girls that worked for me actually told them. Isn't this illegal and what can I do about it?

I'm supposed to find articles about Career Changes. And then later would be asked questions like, How do you know when to change a job? What advice could you give to employees considering a job change?

The articles should be from range between June - Aug 2007. Thanks!

I have been working for a multinational company in London as a graduate last 4 months.. As a foreigner, It was very difficult to get a job for work permit, but my company helped it. It also offers great training, perks, pay, possibility of international post after 2 years etc..
but the job is boring and meaningless. I was desperate to get a job so took this position as financial analyst, which is all about number crunching and excel running etc.. I don't know if its just slump and the job could be more interesting when I'm a senior but I do some pieces of meaningless tasks.
I'm already demotivated in 4 months waiting for leaving office and holiday everyday. I dont' feel confident about my performance either, because I don't have passion for it.
In addition, I'm studying for accounting qualification which was condition of the employment (paid by the company) so I'm worried if I get stuck in finance...
I can only change my job within the company after 2 years, what should I do???

I left my job of 12yrs and pursued a new opportunity. I started my new position in 06/07 - a major life decision for me. When I was hired, my manager had recruited me, told me the dept. was growing, and that the company had excellent opportunities for advancement and to build a career. At the time of the switch, I was also 6.5 months pregnant.

I took the position, started training, & began to perform my duties. Now, just 2.5 months later, they announced that they are reorganizing and that some will terminated and others will be re-assigned. I was reassigned.

The new position is going door-to-door selling products and is definitely a step down. I was in a 2nd level manager at my old job, 1st level at the new job - where I was an account executive for about 22 retail locations. I have been told that I can either take the position or that I am basically resigning. And to top it off, they told me this on my due date! No unemployment is available.

Is this fair? Can I take action?

What is the typical waiting period between an informal and formal job offer? Should I expect the contract via email or mail - maybe just an invitation to sign in person? Even though I've already informally accepted the job, should I call to clarify?

Thanks for any advice.
