I'm looking to change careers into the medical field and I am very interested in being a MRI, CT, or Xray tech. However I can not quit my full-time day job because it does pay me good money. Any ideas?

from a man that I met in a chat room. We have been talking for some time now, and he has offered me a job in Dubai. He wants me to fly and meet him there.

How dangerous would that be? I dont know the local customms, still it is rather starange that somebody would offer me a job just like that.

He says he has a "gut feeling" about me.

Have you ever heard of something like that?

I just graduated, oppurtunities in Michigan for teachers are slim to none. I don't know if I should stick with the teaching profession or move into nursing.

I am a manager at a hotel. First, I was hired for a sales entry level position, but because of my experince in a more senior position I was giving the Sales Manager position. Even do my job offer letter stated EMM (which is the entry level position). My pay stayed the same as an EMM. I was given a desk on the back section of the office with 4 other hispanics (even though I was suppoused to have an office because of the new position I was given). I did go to HR about this, but before anything was done I was suspended. My boss overheard me speaking with a recruiter that contacted me. The whole time I have been working for the company I've felt spoken down to and not apreciated even do I am the first one to get there and last one to leave. Number one in sales for the hotel, so they cant say is because lacck of productivity. Not enough done the Assistant went thru the company laptop and walked in on a mmeeting with myself, the hr director and sales director and showed sexy pics of myself.

I left Wednesday at 2pm. My normal day ends at 3pm. My coworker did not tell me till 11:50 that I had to file and put a 3 inch high stack of papers in abc order and file in one of my bosses' desk. She new about this since 8:30 am. I was in the file room going through files.

This was right before my lunch @ 12:15pm
Well, could not concentrate that day
It was Thanksgiving Eve and I needed go shopping and get home.

Everyone else left early without notifying me at 12pm I and the acting boss were the only ones in the office. I had to close up, answer the phone and clean up. The acting supervisor said it was okay to leave at 2pm. I left both bosses an email stating I could not accomplish the task given that day and That I would finish it first thing Monday.

Should I have just stayed till it was done (I would not have finished till 5pm) ? I am thinking really I screwed up?

i dont want to be a complete jerk.
but.
i have been working for her for a year, and she has never said anything nice to me. I've tried absolutely as hard as I can, and have taken care of many things she should be dealing with herself. In my one year here as a simple sales rep, I have created the company logo, taken care of all of the advertising going out of the store, and set up several deals with the area the store is located. All of these things raised revenue for her incredibly.

I haven't gotten a raise.
She doesn't believe me when i call in sick (this has happened only twice), and she even calls my house rather than my cell to make absolutely sure i wasn't lying.

i just had to ask off one week at the end of december for major jaw surgery, and she called and yelled at me and told me that i needed to get my act together and grow up.

so tell me how to quit, and leave a sting, without sounding like an ***.

:)

I interviewed for my dream job a few weeks ago and the hiring manager said she will be making the decision this week. At the interview, I wasn't asked to fill out an application or provide a list of references. I'm getting really nervous about whether I will get an offer and I think that if I can get the hiring manager to hear from my references, it could seal the deal. I plan on calling her this week to check up on the status of my candidacy and I would like to provide her with my references without coming across as too pushy. How should I phrase this?

My education is: diplomas for Office Receptionist/Legal Clerical and Medical Clerical. Certificates for Ward Clerk/Geriatric Aide/Nursing Assistant and Medication Aide. I am 60 years old. My last job was 1/92. I was a Med Aide with no med or documentation errors. I need a job but feel too old to begin again as a CNA (heavy lifting). I use our public transit. I am scared to death of failing. Should I go back to college to become a Medical Assistant (then will be 61)? Am I too old to be hired? Help!!!

It sounds too good to be true, which usually is the case. Is there anyone out there who has worked as a mystery shopper or knows someone who has?

My daughter is 19.She loves working with and is also good at interacting with young children.She is trying to figure out a job she can do involving children.She has thought of a physiologist or teacher before but doesn't want something that involves many years of schooling.I have thought of something like a Neurotechnologist.She is open to that but makes it clear that the medical field is not the main thing of interest.It's working with children.Anyone have any ideas for her?

The job would also entail moving across the country, and I'd still have to perform my current tasks. There is a "promise" of promotion...

Hiya, I'm 15, but 16 in March.
I have been looking around for a Saturday or after school job and have ran out of ideas! I've been to clothes shops in town and they don't employ 15 year olds.
What else should I try?
Is there anywhere you know that is employing 15 year olds, or should I just wait a few months until I am 16 and get one then, although I need money now!
Thanks!
Oh and I don't really want to be doing a paper round or walking peoples dogs ( I have to do that with my dog! )

I want to study to be a medical transcriptionist. I have looked at local schools and I am unable to find one that just focus's on Medical Transcription. All the schools are for working in an office and have alot of un useful things. I don't want to spend money and then not be able to get a job. I wanted to know if anyone had taken an online course and if so how effective was it? Did you get a job? What online school did you attend? I would like to work at home. Anyone with experience please help...

I have a full-time job and recently took on another one for just Sundays (retail). I'm supposed to go today. I worked there before and it is full of drama and stress. I was thinking the extra $ would be good since I'm fresh from a break up and out on my own. I'm not sure the amount of $ I'll get will be worth the drive, drama and lack of days off. I don't know if this is just laziness or if I should follow my gut and not do this. Any thoughts?
