Yep, first time I ever applied to a job, and I have got an interview now!

This is for a job at Subway.

What sort of questions can I expect? Also, I don't have a suit or anything but I'm thinking it won't be a formal interview... so I can dress casually.

Also- Do they tell you at the interview if you have the job? Or do you have to wait, if so for how long?

Thanks!

Interview is tomorrow, I will tell you how it goes ^^

I have been trying to search for RETAIL jobs for months. I really, really need a job, all my friends seemed to easily get one but me. I look younger than i am, im not small in height, i just look younger, which is why i don't think people will hire me. Its not fair! I hate this disadvantage, what can i do?

I need help rewriting my resume. All these places I've been using to help me with my resume say things like "Give examples of specific increases you brought about". The trouble with that is that although I've been in the hospitality industry for over eight years, neither of the two jobs I've held have had that particular potential - there is no quantifiable way for me to measure what kind of an impact I've had on the revenue or customer base. (I could make a number up, but that would be dishonest of me, and I am nothing if not honest to a fault.) I'm wanting to move up to a management position, and although I've never done it before, I feel as if I would be very capable. (People aren't born managers!) I've trained others before, I have excellent multi-tasking skills, and I have a personable demeanor that is approachable for both employees and customers. What would be an effective way to showcase my talents, other than using hyperbole and obvious buzzwords? Thanks!

someone i know has been sacked from their job, after being there for just 3 months. he didnt have a signed contract. i know this guy and know that he blagged his way into job and then failed miserably to keep up to his expectations. he was slow and lazy and was found out bragging to another firm that he was the manager. he also has taken off numerous days sick and not phoning in to inform the manager.
the manager who is a very easy going guy had had enough and rung him to find out where he was and told him its not working out and he shud look for another job.
now manager is worried that the guy may kick up. its only a small firm and couldnt take a tribunal.
i got some advice for him and was told that as he had only been employed for 3 months he doesnt have full rights of someone employed a year. is that true anyone

I am working towards a degree in finance in school.
Right now i do more of IT/Marketing stuff for a growing company and the hours are very flexible and the environment is great. I love working there.

Now i have a chance to go and work for Merrill Lynch as a temp in operations doing low level job. Around the same pay or more. Hours are very strict and job is boring and tedious.
However, this would be a huge resume builder for me. It's an operations job. I hope i dont feel awkward as a guy there.

What do you think?

I was so excited about the job, but now i heard more about it and don't feel too excited anymore.

But even if i go to ML i can still work as a consultant for my current company.

Unfortunately, the places I'm looking at, you have to wear khaki pants. I get bad/heavy periods. I will need to call off during that time. Its a really big problem for me. What do I do if I get a job where I have to wear hkakis?? I can't wear them with my period. I won't do that.

This seems like the logical thing to do but maybe its not professional enough, is the email itself ok to be used as the cover letter or should I make it a seperate attachment like the CV?

It is a career that requires both creativity and dedication so I imagine it's pretty difficult to break into the market. What courses should I do at university and how can I prepare myself for a lifetime of spruiking?

Here's the skinny: I'm 25. I made good grades in school and went to college for a time before I dropped out. I have a relatively successful career in Marketing, but it isn't exactly what I pictured myself doing for the rest of my life. I have an aptitude for logic and details as well as public speech and communication in general.

I am not currently enrolled in college. But, here we go. I've always been interested in law.. but never really -really- considered it as a career path before. However, I'm getting older.. have a family.. and am, to a certain degree, unfulfilled by my current career path. Also, I'd like to make more money. Though, by the time I actually graduated law school, my salary would probably be comparable to a recent law graduate.. probably a bit more.

So, what are the chances of me going back to school and making it? Would it take me more than 7 years, could I do it in less? Is there a such thing as a"happy" lawyer? Anyone go to law school "later" in life?

Not that it matters but the two things I am considering right now is either being a Toronto police officer or go into nursing.

Im a 26 year old professional Mother. I left my career and I am in school full time. I thought I would like waitressing and the money is great to keep the bills paid (over $500 wk) but I HATE it. I need to find a job ... OBVIOUSLY I will have my son in the best hands. My Mother will help somebody watch him... I just need to figure out a good career that I can make good money and work after 10:20 am and 12:20 am after I get out of school. I was thinking about the YMCA because my son could ride the bus there from school and then we could ride home together. Anybody have any other ideas?
PS - if I wasnt a mother... and I wasn't already concerned with childcare...I wouldn't be posting this message. I need a job that works with my schedule but makes great money.

I hate really long explanations, so here are just the bare bone details:
-My current job hasn't been treating myself or the other employees well at all
-I have a job offer making slightly more money
-The person I would be replacing is quitting next week and they need someone immediately

Do I just give a few days notice? (how rude)
or
Do I just take the other job?
