My aunt has more degrees then I can count…

She speaks 4 languages fluently & a hand full more enough to “Get By”…

She has taught English in Inner-City Chicago Schools…

She has edited text books…

She has taught English as a 2nd language in Spain…

She has taught English to a Middle Eastern Prince…

She worked as the Head of HR in Amsterdam for 7 years…

She worked as Director of HR for the France Campus & was Head of Staff Development for the Singapore Campus for a world renowned International Business School for 7 years or so… Where she had to deal with both students & staff from each and every inch of the Globe & find a way to make them all happy!

Yet she has been back in the US for over a year now & hasn’t had a single serious job offer.

If she didn’t have friends with extra room or a friend with an unrented apartment she would be broke & on the verge of being homeless…

So I pretty much know I am going to be fired tomorrow. I had some issues with a sick child lately and missed some work. They wrote me up on it in the past and I had to miss again due to that reason. I have noone else to watch him when he is too ill for daycare. Anyway I came to work today ( i missed Friday) and the boss told me "we will be having a meeting about this". That was it. So all day I waited...nothing. Well policy is that HR is called from another building and they come in for it too. The HR lady was gone today. So tomorrow I know it is coming someone told me they overheard it Friday. (nice I know) so what would you do? I feel humiliated to go in tomorrow just to hit the door...but I want to say my piece too. What would you do? Go in to be fired basically or call in and say I quit see ya? Can you get unemployment for absenteeism if you have a sick child? HELP shift starts at 7 am!!!!! :(

I stopped work earlier this year because of a very serious episode of the mental illness I have battled for years. I am stable now and applying for a job.

For obvious reasons, I do not want to mention anything about my illness on the application or in the interview. It's none of their business, and it would prevent me from being considered for the job (I live in a small town that is still about 40 years behind society).

I am not a whackjob and I am very talented, but I am at a loss as to how to answer this question. "Personal reasons" is a HORRIBLE answer - way too vague. I've heard this from lots of HR people. How else can I answer?

If you are a PI, do you like your field? Is it difficult to become one?

What other careers would work for me?

My friend has a job as a tutor at my old tutoring place. He's 13 and gets paid $6/hr. I want to be a tutor and get the same pay becuase we are the same responsibility. I used to go there, but got in a lot of trouble, but she knows i can handle it. I have experience with kids by volunteering to be an assistant coach for lego robotics. So what is the best way to ask for a job?

Thanks in advance.

I have had attendance issues in the past for a medical problem on my job. I got a write up for it a while ago. My child was very ill and I had to miss another day last Friday. I got to work today and they said "we have to have a meeting about this" then no one came to call me? Then someone told me that HR comes from district when they fire and they probably are coming tomorrow. My trusted coworker told me when I called in the boss said out loud to some other staff "This is it for her!!" as if to indicate a firing. My question is was it legal for her to disclose that info in her statement to staff she made? And can you be fired a day after you came back to work? This is important real answers only. I plan to use the info in case I am fired tomorrow. Thank you I live in WI.

I live in Portland, Oregon, and I want to find a job that will use my skills and education. I have a Bachelor's degree in English (no snide comments or jokes, please) and I am willing to enter any field that can use my writing, editing, researching and communication skills, but I simply cannot find skilled positions to search through. Monster.com, Worksource.org, craigslist.com, yahoojobs -- they are filled with shady sounding "work from home; make $1000 a minute!" or "Macy's needs a sales associate" positions.

I currently work in an unskilled position with virtually no opportunity for advancement, and I want to know where and how to look for jobs for formally educated people who want an opportunity to grow.

I've only had one job that lasted for 3 weeks back when I was 15. It was a server in a retirement home that my mom pushed me into when I wasn't ready. I broke down crying almost every day and quit after about 3 weeks. I don't put it on job applications. I'm 17 and a senior in high school and I really need a job for a lot of things.
I've been applying for jobs since at least January or my junior year, and I've never even been called for an interview!
I've applied at Bealls, Publix, Target, Wal-Mart, Atlanta Bread Company, etc. Tons of clothing stores and super markets.
I can work pretty much any afternoon until night, and weekend mornings(I need the rest of day for school work)
I can't understand why no one wants me. I don't do drugs, don't drink, I'd always be polite and cheerful and follow all the rules. But for some reason everyone at my school seems to have a job but me.
Am I doing something wrong? I call back and ask about my application but I never get a response.

Please, How can I stop crying.
I am working in a contract job and I just missed out on extending my contract - it went to someone else and I feel so stupid because I didn't ask for an extension earlier because I was down with cough and now they hired someone else and I can't stop crying!
I hate and don't like myself for making stupid mistakes like this, and although my former boss told me not to worrry and he'll see what he can do, and although I have written a petition letter to God and I earnestly and sincerely feel that I still want to work there and help others , I can't shake off the feeling that I am careless and i dont like myself for that.
I m wasting precious time and I m mentally and emotionally exhausted.
I have been working contract jobs ever since graduation because I am unable to get any good permanant jobs so far. it seems so easy for others to get great jobs but so hard for me. I can't understand why and I really wish that my contract could be extended.
pls help
