I still have over 120 hours of "leave time" that has to be used up before December 31, 2007. I have tried to use it but I am a supervisor and when I leave even for a few days...well it's just more trouble than it's worth. I wind up cleaning up other co-workers mistakes and making more work for me in the long run. No paperwork was done, alot of customer complaints, security issues, etc. I'd rather just get paid for my hours owed, but it's not the policy here.

Want to know if it's worth applying for a job as a valet.

I'm 17, have 0 points on a liscense but a speeding ticket, failure to present registration ticket, and another ticket for being parked on the side of the road and 'creating hazard'. I have completed a defensive driving class, and I also have a full motorcycle liscense. I regularly drive a stick-shift car, and have been for about a year and a half, in addition to passing my driving exam on a manual trans. One of my good friends works as a valet, and he is 17 as well, so if there is any rule about being 18 to be a valet, it must be easy to get around. There are plenty of places to valet around where I live, and I wouldn't necessarily want to work with him. My car is a Dodge Ram truck, so I am pretty good at parking because most cars seem very small compared to what I have to park.

Basically, will the tickets affect getting a job as a valet? Any particular things I could do to make employers 'look around' this?

I am going to be graduating in Feruary of 08 with my Bachlors degree. Most of the jobs that I would like to apply for require a Bachlors degree.
My question is do you think that I should apply for those positions now, or should I wait till I have my degree?

I'm looking to get a part-time job at a Pharmacy. This would be my first one.

I've got the application filled out and ready. I'm gonna go in and ask for the manager, and hand him the application. How should I do this?

What I was thinking:
I go in, see the manager.
I introduce myself, give him a firm handshake while looking him in the eyes. Then I tell him I'm looking for employment here and then hand him the application.

Is this good? What more should I do? Should I tell him anything else??

Please help. Thanks!

I just found a young man in my company who is very good at having ideas to improve almost anything in the company, from how to make people welcome, to how to improve the financial records, to suggest programs that would improve our performance as company. Currently he is a trainer, and spends the week training employees, he´s quite a speaker. But definetively he´s very good at innovating and generating ideas for everything. I would like to relocate him in a position where he is in charge of generating more and more ideas, Do you know similar jobs? How would you call this position?

I am getting endless job rejections, day in and day out. It is really demoralising me sending my CV everywhere and getting knocked back. Is this sort of mass rejection happening to everybody else? How can I keep my spirits up when I just feel so depressed and angry?

I want to start a non-profit organization to refurbish old school buildings or old apartment buildings to make livable spaces for families that need somewhere to live while they are trying to further thier education. (either college or some type of training program).

I have known many people who just didn't go to any training after highschool because they couldnt afford to pay the bills, eat, & have enough time for studies afterwards. I want to beable to give them cheaper living space so they can acieve a higher level of living. (example: husband goes to college full time while wife works part-time and takes care of kids). I would charge rent at a reduced rate & that money would go back into the program.

I just dont know how to get the start up funds to refurbish the first building. I know plenty of people who would help with the labor, but no one is able to help finacially. Any advice?

Does this mean I should look for employment someplace else? I dont know how do deal with this because my manager is in on this, I have no one to turn to for help. Any one I try to befriend, ends up making fun of me or ignoring me. They say things about me that are not true,they sabotage my passwords on my computer, and find ways to generally make my life difficult at work.
Is this just the way the workplace is or am I missing something? I am finding ways to cope, but I dont to "cope". I just want to be left alone to do my job. And get along with my co-workers. I believe I act in a professional manner,( no gossiping,proper apperance,e.t.c.) so this type of treatment is a mystery to me.

A lady at work told everyone she has 5 years experience in an accounting firm, yet she seems to be rather lost when preparing or explaning basic trial balance - and not comprehending basic practical tax questions.

I know it is none of my business (I am not reporting to her, she is not reporting to me), but I'm such a sticky nose, and it is burning inside me - what is the best way to ask her, whether she has glossed up her resume or not?

She doesn't do any "dirty work"; having 5 y exp, she comes as a supervisor, supervising other junior/senior staff in doing their work.

No I won't talk about her behind her back at work... I only do it here where noone knows who she is :-P

I've been a bank teller for 3 months and just recently started feeling like I know what I'm doing. These past 3 months I've felt like quitting because I was always asking lots of questions but today something just "clicked" and I really felt confident and like I've really caught on.

Is this common? I've felt like such an idiot for the past 3 months. Is it normal to take 3 months to really "catch on" or am I just "slow"?
