I have a job interview tomorrow for a personal support worker position at a nursing home. I know I should bring an extra copy of my resume and a copy of my references.
Should I photo copy anything else, such as high school diploma or certificates for other things?

So I just got my status from Mass as per my Unemployment Insurance and my old company has me listed as a voluntary quit. I called and asked how they classify these things and the HR person got snitty with me and threatened me vaguely, that I didn't want them to change it and that I'd do best to leave it as voluntary quit due to a relocation if I wanted to get a good reference from them.

Well, Unemployment called today and I gave them all the particulars of my leaving. But now I'm worried that they'll call my old company and decide in my favor and as retaliation my old company will tell people I was terminated and give me a bad reference.

Is there any way I can just call Mass Unemployment and tell them it's not worth it to me? I need to be able to get a new job more than I need 6 months of UI and the HR department of my old job on a vendetta against me.

Really.. my work is pretty boring lately. I had high hopes when I joined the firm but now i feel like I am totally overqualified or atleast this job is pretty easy and repetitive. I am not challenged enough. I have already told my boss about my frustration. She said that she would give me better challenging jobs until they find an analyst to do the stuff that I am doing. I do not trust them though and also I know that it is a time delaying tricks that they are playing. Its very difficult to find people with my skills in the market and so I know that they need me. What shall I do to move to a role that has more visibility and is challenging? Any ideas or if anyone has gone through this..I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

my friend and i were having a discussion on what we hope to become one day. i told her i want to be a dentist, ultimately an orthodontist, and she told me she wants to be a lawyer. i didn't bring up a single thing after that, but of course, she had to go and bring up salary issues.

i most definitely am not becoming a dentist solely for the money. i really am doing it for the benefit of others (i get teary eyed when patients undergo smile reconstruction on extreme makeover, i really do! lol), but considering all the time spent learning and studying and staying in school - i believe the money is definitely something to like, as well.

to me it's obvious she's going in law for the money, just the way she talks about it. she said lawyers make more than dentists.

it's not a big deal to me, but it's got me wondering now. who really makes more money, lawyers or dentists?

I am working as a secretary and would like to feel as if I am doing my part, as I feel in my current job, I'm not really needed. However, I don't feel confident in my abilities and do feel guilty that I might be leaving my colleagues in the lurch, if one of them goes on holiday or is sick, then they would have an extra burden on them. I don't know what I can do, but I feel useless and sometimes v. depressed when I am at work most days.

Hello,
I have an interview tomorrow and on the 30th of this month and I would prefer to do the job on the 30th, but if I don't get it and might get offered the other one then I would take that one. My prroblem is, what do I do in case I get the job from the 24th offered, but I still have to wait for the interview on the 30th and the results then.
If I get offered the job on the 24th, what shall I say to them? I don't want them to know that I am applying somewhere else and that this job is my second choice.

I know of a job that will be posted in the next month in another department of the company for which I work. I know the guy who is vacating the position. I also know of a guy who would be a well qualified applicant for the position but is not intrested for non work related reasons. I want to ask them the right questions so that I can tailor my resume and prep for a potential interview. I see these 2 guys as huge assets because they will give me honest answers and information about what is truely required for the job...information that might not be available in the "corporate" job posting/description. What questions should I ask? I want to tailor the answers to be better prepared for a potential interview, as well as make my resume more attractive.
The job is an IT support position...basic hardware break/fix with some minor networking and IT setup for presentaions.From what I see he is the IT go-to guy when something computer related malfunctions or is in need of an upgrade.

I have a 2 year gap in my work history. During this time I was in drug and alcohol rehab, and ended up in a work release program, where I worked a couple of jobs and was incarcerated. This all occured out of state. How do I account for this time period; 1 - without drawing attention to my criminal history, or 2 - that I lived out of state. I dont want to lie, but dont want to be too honest either. Any suggestions. By the way I have been clean now for over 3 years, and do not live the same lifestyle as before.

I was wondering what are the pros and cons of a PA vs an RN. My buddy, who just applied for PA school, is trying to tell me that he'll eventually be able to do surgeries and make more than the average physician. To me this isn't true. I am trying to be a CRNA and wondering if I would have more advantages than a PA? He wants to get into Orthopedics, and I'm just wondering. Money wise who makes more and what does the schooling allow what to do?

i know that it is not good to write it in, however i am seeing alot of recruiters requesting for this piece of information to be stated in the resume as well.

i have searched and for resume writing tips etc, but most if not all will tell you not to write this in.

so how/where do i write this piece of information in after every employment description? any other ideas or tips regarding this as well?

and, i am new into the working force, so i had included holiday jobs that i did in the past, its quite weird to put a leaving reason for those, but i see some recruiters stating 'Please stae a reason for leaving from EACH OF the previous employment(s)'

i dont want to come off as inattentive to details right from the start!

help me please!
