I am a general manager in the Midwest for a major casual dine-in restaurant. I'm fairly good in the service industry. I received the Turn Around GM of year for the whole company. I like what I do but it can be vexing at times, to say the least. I want to move back East to be closer to family (Virginia, N.C.) Not opposed to a career change. Any suggestions? I'm 34.

I was offered a job at the Green Mill and i start in a few days. I figured it was going to be a full time position but i was told it was only going to be part time when I got hired. I took it anyway because I need a job. I just graduated from college and am living on my own and will have to pay off loans. everything is so expensive where I live.

I applied to a ton of places and am still waiting for "thee job" but all I am getting is waitressing offers so I am taking what I get so I don't end up on the streets. Now I have a possible offer at Red Lobster. Is it possible to take both jobs? what conflict could arise from it? Have any of you taken 2 waitressing jobs or two similar type jobs before?

job pays great,great benefits insurance,retirement etc. i hate what i do and the people i work with. no one here likes their job and only stay for money and benies. im out of town 90% of the time. i have to stay 10 years to get full benefits for retirement. working conditions are hard and dangerous. im made to feel guilty because of the money and told at my age im pretty much stuck here. this is a construction type job and everyone except me is in their 20's. im in good shape now but i can feel the wear and tear on my body. my passion is art. im a portrait artist. i can make a living at it but wife says there's no retirement or benefits so it's not worth it . so is this really my only avenue, 10 - 15 yrs of hell wasting away to retire so i can actually do something i love and good at?

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!

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.

I am 26 and I have had three jobs in my life, one in which I was at for 6 years another I had for two and a half years and my most recent job I was at for three months and I left that job for personal reasons. It has been over three months since I have had a job and it seems like no one is willing to give me a chance to prove myself. I am asking if I look like a job hopper and how to get past this and find a job?

I attend college in Minnesota and will relocate to the Denver metro area in January 2008. I will begin sending my resume out in February. In a perfect world, I would be able to schedule all of my interviews during a one week period in the summer.

What is the appropriate way to go about this? Should I mention that, "I will be in the area between XYZ dates and would be available for a face-to-face interview at that time?"

I would like to thank you in advance for taking time out of your day to assist me in my efforts. Truly, your help is appreciated!

Best Regards,

Joshua

Ok, so I am a 14 year old that has beeb cooking since 13, so only about a year of experience under my belt. I was an apprentice at an upscale french "bistro" for 8 months. I worked as the pantry cook for the summer. The restaurant is really slow during the summer, because of the older clientele. I only worked lunch, and the most we ever had was 65 lunches. it was my first job on the line, so I got really nervous. No matter how many people, even if there were only a couple of tickets, I would get nervous. I was also pretty slow, but I progressed as the summer went on. After the summer, i couldnt have a job there b/c i only worked lunch, but then i was in school. Now, I am working at an upscale catering place. there are 3 chefs teaching me and paying me! I have been practicing my knife skills, basic cooking skills, and just trying to get more experience before i get back on the line.
So was i just nervous b/c i was new to the line? or am i just not meant for the job?..............

I just asked some questions if I should leave my current job for a video store. About 99% (including me) say I should make the change.

I was looking at the application and I have two areas that I need some advice first.

First, is says are you currently employed? Yes, I am, at Taco Bell. I'm not a big fan of it and want to change. But the part I'm concerned about is "Can we Contact Your Current Employer?"

I want to say no, just in case I don't get the vid store job, taco bell wont be mad. But if I check no, will this hurt my chances?

And two, they ask if I would be "willing to relocate?" I again want to say no (I'm only 16), but really want this job.

So what should I do for these two sections of the application?

By the way, in the Two Weeks Notice I give taco Bell if I get hired, I'm gonna say I have to quit due to school or a spring sport (so if I don't like the new job, I could come back).

I'm 16 and I started working part-time at Mcdonalds at the end of October and I hate it. The pay is bad and I hardly got any trianing so everyone is always angry with me all the time because I don't actually know what I'm doing. The only reason I got a job there was because I couldn't get a job anywhere else so I thought if I just put up with it for a while I could quit and use that as experience on my resume and get a job i actually want. So my question is how long should i work there so it looks like significant experience on my resume? If i quit at the beginning of January next year it would look like I'd worked there for 4 months or should I wait until march so it looks like 6 months or should i wait even longer..ugh. Also how exactly should I go about quitting keeping in mind that the manager and i aren't exactly best friends ( she talks to me in the voice my parents used when i poured milk into the VCR when i was six)

I am currently working a part-time, seasonal (Christmas) job at Bath & Body works. While I've loved their products for years and will continue to, I am not enjoying the job as much as I thought I would.
I want to turn in my two-weeks notice this Friday (my next shift), but since it's a seasonal job and I'd be let go anyhow after Christmas (or in early January at the latest) would that even make sense to do? Should I just stick it out till the end of the season? Should I give notice of a different timeframe? I don't know what to do!

Thanks

I am a recent college grad (graduated June 06) and I have been temping until I found this job about eight months ago. I went to school for office administration and couldnt find a stable job..just temp. I started working at this insurance company as an accounts payable clerk. I did very well and a position opened as an administrative assistant. I aksed if i qualified for the position, they said yes and that it was a promotion and I got the job. I spoke with my supervisor when i was given the job and she said she would make sure i got more money (in exact words) I didn't hear anything as far as a raise for a few weeks and i asked her what was going on with it. she said she would find out and hasent gotten back to me. Its been about a month now. They said it was a promotion and I would like an increase in pay since i am doing four times the amount of work than i did in the previous position. I want the experience but im only making 13/hour and i need more money..when shouldilook

I have been working for a bank for a couple of years now, but 8 months ago I started in a different department. I like the company (even though the pay sucks and it won't get much better). However, my boss (who is always watching me because she sits 6 feet away from me) is such a negative person. I feel as if she is bringing me down with her. She has every disease imaginable to the human race. I have had a cough for the past two weeks now. I'm on medicine, but it's just not doing much. I just feel worse knowing that I have to go to work tomorrow. No matter what I do, it's just not enough for her. I don't know why I put so much stock in this pitiful job of mine. By no means is this a career, but I live in a little butt-hole town with not alot of opportunity. My husband loves it here and really doesn't want to move. I feel so stuck. Any thoughts?

I work in a fast food type restaurant, which isn't a McDonalds or anything, and my manager/owner records all of our movements and conversations that go on without our knowledge or consent. None of the employees even knew that he had microphones until one of them overheard the manager listening to two other employees talking about the manager. The cameras themselves are in plain view, but there is no visible microphone attached to them, nor is there any that are in plain sight, so my question is it it legal for him to record us audioly and visualy without us knowing hes doing it?

However when I explain about it in an interview. Well this look comes on a persons face and I just know that I am not going to get this job. So workers why won't they let a person like me have a part time job?

I just started a job at Hungry Jacks two days ago part-time as a crew member, but then decided I absolutely hated it and quit without any notice. i.e simply didn't turn up the next day & unplugged phone. The reason for not giving notice is simply this: the manager was a total jerk and would have abused me had I told him I wanted to resign. I plan on mailing back the uniform and sending in a letter of resignation at some stage if I don't officially get fired before then (not that I care in the slightest). My question is (excuse my stupidity): can they sue me or something for not turning up to the work without any notice? I really don't care about the pay or anything else, I just quite simply DO NOT want to ever see or hear about that place again. I'm trying to pretend I was never employed there, even for a very short amount of time.

Leaving aside how unethical it was to quit without informing them, could there be any legal ramifications?
