Ive been looking for a salesperson to call on other businesses but no one seems to want to apply ! I cant believe everyone has a job as a lot of people are whingeing about foreigners coming over here taking them etc etc or is it that they want to find namby pamby jobs where theres no effort needed. Does no one want to work nowadays ?. What has happened to the British work ethic ?

I am thinking about going to school to become a medical assistant. I have been in and out of crappy jobs for some time now and I'd like to do something that would at least give me some job stability. Is this profession a decent one? I'm not looking to be rich, just content and steadily employed. Would someone tell me some information about the in's and out's of medical assistants. Thanks for your answers.

I work in retail and most of us are friends. So as we work we chat, so long as it doesn't interfere with our jobs. Well lately I was asked to train a new employee, she has been pulled into the office three times by HR. Apparently she's been told that if she continues to allow me to talk to her (outside of training) we could both lose our jobs. However, no one has said anything to me.

It seems to me that if I'm the one causing the problem that they would talk to me. Am I incorrect in assuming this?

Also before anyone suggests it, both of us usually finish our work well before the rest of the groups; and during cashier training we both kept a 90% speed rating for cranking out customers.

I just don't get it

I applied at Subway which was hiring, so i handed in my resume and the manager said she'd call me the next day or so.
She never did ...so i gave it a week but i ended up having to call for an interview.

The interview went well and she said she'd call me that afternoon or the next day about when i could start...still nothing.
Is there a reason why she never calls? She seemed very nice..As the applicant, am i supposed to call back and ask when my traning starts?

How can I control my mania at work? I get very intense (I am sure everyone is used to it now) and just can't handle talking to people sometimes. I am sure they think I am mental.

Is this such a bad trait to have anyways? I am able to get things done that take others double the time, but I don't have the best relationship with my boss at the same time.

I am almost 16 years old. I am not sure what i want to be when I get older, but I am interested in law. I got interested in it by watching law and order:svu, and now I want to learn more about it. What are some jobs that involve the law? I thought of a lawyer of course, but I don't think I could do that, since I have social anxiety. my anxiety isn't all that bad as I am on medication but being a lawyer is something that is porbably not possible for me. But I would have loved to do that. So can someone tell me some other law jobs? Thank you!

I am about 15 years younger than the other woman that work in my department. When we are all together, they huddle up and basically exclude me from the conversation. One on one, we are fine, but when it's the three of us together, they huddle up and basically ignore me. Should I confront the situation or just let it be? They are older than me and we are in different pages in our lives!!! I would like for all of us to get along really well all together, but feel like retreating. What should I do?

have you ever heard of an HR rep telling someone not to ask for more money because they dont want to look greedy? I am transfering with my company and my wife is applying for a job with the same company in the new location. She is very much over qualified for the job that she is applying for and they are offering her way below what she deserves, $14 dollars an hour. She asked for $15 an hour, which is still way below what she should be making, and the HR rep advised her that she shouldnt ask for more because she did not want to look greedy. is this the most retarded thing you have ever heard or is this a common practice?

I hate being a nurse so I returned to college and earned a bachelors in business management. Upon graduating, I came to the cruel realization that I made more as an LPN than I could at an entry level management position - how depressing. So I've spent the past few years just avoiding both and working crap jobs just getting by. Well now I'm ready to get back in the game and get a good job, but damn, I really don't want it to be nursing - not any hands on nursing anyway. Suggestion please!!

I am 27 & ready for a different career. I would like to get into the medical field and one day become a RN and work with infants. I applied to my local college and the problem is I did terrible in high school and I have never taken the SAT or ACT test so the college is telling me I will have to start out with a mini-certificate in CNA and work my way up. Which is ok with me. But everyone I tell this to is constantly telling me that CNA work is not worth it, it's filthy, dirty work that won't amount to anything. I am getting really discouraged. People keep telling me I should skip all that & go straight into the RN program but I can't. The college already told me that I would have to start with a mini-certificate....even a LPN is a certificate & I can't even start with that. Please provide any encouragements & your advice on how I can get started in the medical field if my only option is to first get my CNA? And what can I expect? Thank you :-)

I joined a company recently, and I think I screwed up, though I know that I have the right in this
at first I was sitting on the wrong place where I don't have a direct contact with my colleagues who are working on the same account with me.. so I asked the manager o replace me next to them in order to make work easier.. so he agreed and went out with me to show me my new place as it was an empty desk ... but guess that caused jealousy.. the receptionist girl said that she kinda "reserved" that place before me and that the boss told her she will sit on that too!! I was surprised and she talked to the administrator officer and he said the same thing too !! I was completely shocked.. so the admin. officer called me the next morning tellin me to hold until we sit again with the boss to discuss the matter.! but I didn't listen to him, explained to him politely the situation.. but I think that made him angry not listening to him and went to my manager and gave the wrong impression about me

I went to lunch today and got a southern style chicken sandwich from McDonalds, took a bite and realized that the chicken was completely raw.

Now I don’t have lots of money, how much would it cost to try to sue McDonalds!

Does anyone know of a lawyer that would take on a case probono?
