Careers & Employment - December 2007

I am from a foreign country and have a very empty resumee since work is so scarce there. Now I finished my studies here and I am not the youngest anymore either, but I do not have any work experience whatsoever. I just worked part-time and temp jobs in my life to get by, but won't get any reference for that. Would I be better off making up places I worked at before?

While I have been going to school I never held a constant job. I always did jobs on the side as they were more flexible and I could cope better with them. Now I know that potential employers will look down on an empty resumee and I am not sure how I can explain that.

I am a private person but I find that the number one problem that I have with co-workers is when they want to know about your personal life. There are things in my past that I don't want to disclose because they are painful. What is a diplomatic way of telling a co-worker to mind their own business?

i'm sick of my job, i haven't been showing up or giving my boss a heads up about my absence...and i hate making excuses, so i really dont want to deal with it anymore...
now if i keep not showing up.i'm assuming i will be fired, which is what i want, because i need unemployment for the next few months while i'm in school.
i just want to know how the whole firing process goes? such as paperwork il have to sign? or does he just simply tell me i'm fired and that's it?
i have an odd relationship with my boss, we dont connect, i despise him, he's phony and i could go on..i just want to leave the job without having any contact with him.
and how do i file for unemployment?

I am a permanent employee in local government. I'm not a contractor. I am interested in training that will cost $2500. My government is small and stingy. They talk about things being expensive often. I feel like I would be asking for something that may be too expensive for them, however the girl in HR says I can just talk to my director or supervisor.
Now, can asking for training assistance do any harm in my relationship with my employer in case they decline?

Hey everyone. Im moving to Vegas from Cali to attend school and i need to find a job. I have previous experience working as a server. Im currently 20 years old so would that be a problem finding a job? I also heard that some places require a type or tam card or something to work inside of a casino? I was thinking of just getting a bunch of applications to different resturants to see if they needed servers, but would anyone reccomend a place? I wonder if anyone knows a place with good tips? :D I would greatly appreciate any information or advice. Thanks!

It's something called a Financial Sevices Rep III at a large financial printer. Problem is when I do internet searches to guesstimate salaries the jobs I find are clearly not describing the same position as this one- same title, totally different responsibilities. Is it wrong to ask the prospective employer for the salary range? They want salary requirements along with resume and I don't want to blow it.

I have been promoted from car park supervision to security duties having passed a very vigorous examination viz-a-viz an outline knowledge of criminal modus operandi and a comprehensive background check (which revealed that my Grandmother's sister was, in fact, an abortionist-Thankfully not relevant) My application ticked all the boxes and those who take just one egg from our supermarket six egg boxes may no longer expect to get away with it, willy-nilly.

So right now my aunt is in quite a difficult situation. Her husband took out a 100k loan a few years ago claiming that it would be spent to fund his children's college tuitions, but now it's all gone and he can't even pay for his son's community college classes. He's also in huge financial trouble right now... One of his cars was recently towed away at night because he had failed to make the payments for the past 4 months, and now he can't even pay his $20 phone bill. My aunt has a feeling that he gambled it all away, but she has no proof of this. So is there a legal way she can find out how he spent the money? Like can she hire some kind of accounting investigator to see where it all went?

I worked for a vet. A female puppy comes in odorous, covered in urine due to tape around her legs. I washed her in some nice smelling shampoo. As the Doctor retapes her legs, I made the comment: "Now you smell like a women". The next day, Im fired for sexual harassment. The Dr was offended by the comment. Granted there is more to the story, alot of drauma, but im just asking about the comment.

One of my co-workers received a write up she doesn't agree with and she refused to sign it. HR told her she is required to sign it and if she doesn't she would be immediately terminated. In all my years of working I have NEVER heard such a thing. Please, if possible provide a website stating the fact if at all possible . I live in Illinois
