It has been a year since I finished my MA and during this year I have only been working on a part time basis. This is regarded as a gap in my career and many employers frown on such gaps greatly.

It is a cycle. I can't get a job because I have a gap in my record and the longer I remain without a proper job, the longer my gap is going to become.

Any ideas on how I can find a way out???

Do I say Company ABC (now Company CBA), or Company ABC (acquired by Company CBA), or another way? What's the standard way of wording this?

I was thinking about becoming a personal grocery shopper for people who need it. I need to make some extra money on the side, and I thought maybe this was a good idea. What kind of percentage or fee do you think is fair to charge?

For example, I wanted to be a Respritory Therapist, and I ended up being a Retail Manager, and now a Merchandiser.

As kid's we are in such a hurry to grow up, and when we become adults, wonder where the time went....

I was laid-off "due to downsizing" from a company in which I was employed 11 mos. It was a customer service job in which I hated and I'd like to leave it off my resume in general. If an employer performs a background check, can they discover I once worked for a company and failed to mentioned it?

I'm very good at editing and stuff like that.
People say I should do modeling, but I don't know how to start. I'm not allergic to anything.
I HATE babysitting. I'm a girl.
Most of the businesses around here allow only 16 and over, even though at 14 I can get a permit from the highschool.
I pick up things pretty quick so I'm willing to learn pretty much any kind of work. I would walk dogs, but I just moved here and don't really know anyone. I'm also capable of something with more responsibility. I need ideas though. Help. I need a job.

I'll appreciate it if someone can help me.

Ok, so about a week ago I got a job through a staffing agency and now I am already working. According to a staffing agency website, job seekers don't have to pay anything. And now the company I am working at give me a paper to sign that say that if i terminate my employment at their company, I'll have to pay on a prorated basis. That is even after 6 months of employement, which I know I can't quit before that.

I didn't know I'll have to pay if I want to quit. I never meant to stick with this company forever.

Is it like this with all agencies or have I been misleaded?

plz plz plz help

I'm starting a teaching job at a small private school (in 5 days!!). I have 3 small children, so the schedule would be great. HOWEVER I just got called to get drug tested for the Post Office, which pays good, and I'd start out PTF (part-time flexible). The pay is almost double what I'd make at school! What to do???? Is God gonna be mad at me if I quit my job at a Christian school (which I've barely started??)

A colleague at my work who has the exact same position as me and actually started the same day as me has been given more responsibilities. I feel she is actually very poor at her job and often cuts corners and says she "doesn't care".

The only reasons that I can think of how we differ is that she is about 3 years older then me and is also of african descent, and I seem to get on with our supervisor just aswell as she does, if not more as she takes more time off.

I feel quite upset by this and I am unsure what to do or how to take it. Thanks

I need to write 2 letters of recommendation for two seperate people that walked out on a job because they were a) fed up with what was going on there b) sick of the way they were being treated c) so many other things. The letter(s) I'm writing are more like character recommendation letters, but I've never written a letter of recommendation before, but they can't get letters from their previous employer because all the previous employer would do is talk smack about them even though all they ever did for their employer was 150% beyond what was needed. Any advice?

I have my BSc and a diploma in medical laboratory sciences. Theres not much oppurtunity where I live for a career in this, and I really want to stay where I am as I'm buying a house very soon here. Oil is getting big here on the east coast of canada. There are several companies here. Hebron has just signed on. I would be interested in getting a job with an oil company but don't have an engineering degree or geology background. Are there any jobs someone with my background would be suitable for? Thanks.

I've only called off twice, I'm always 10-15 minutes early, and I do my job. In fact I've gotten several raises, and he's constantly praising my work. Yet, every time I apply somewhere, they tell me I had a bad reference. They can't tell me what he said, but they said it was the place I work at now.

How can I avoid this? What it is, is he's trying to keep me. He only has a handful of good workers, and I'm one of them. I know he can't do this, but I want out - NOW! I'm not financially able to take him to court if that's my only option. Oh, and I'm not the only one he's doing this to. There's another girl that's been trying to leave too.

How can I bring him up in job interviews without sounding like I'm lying or that I'm a jerk that doesn't like her boss? I'm so confused. He's such a jerk, and I really want out. I want to work under a photographer to learn and get out of the minimum wage jobs.

In the last few years I have gone to a lot of these things here in San Francisco. But I all ways get the felling that after they tell you that"We don't have anything right now for you". I wonder how many of those files that they start on people end up toss away as soon as you leave the office. Has anyone ever worked at one of there places?

Okay, I couldn't find the email that had the address my to a 2nd interview which was 70 miles away. I called 55 minutes before I was supposed to arrive and let them know I was going to be late. I arrived 15 minutes late. In haste to leave, I locked myself out of my house without my keys and forgot to bring copies of my resume. I think the interview went well, and I'm very qualified for the position. The position is to be a leasing agent at an apartment community, I have a real estate broker's license and 4 years experience in leasing/property management. I already emailed a thank you letter with my resume attached.

Is my tardiness and not bringing my resume going to hurt me that much?

I did get the, we have other interviews over the next couple of days and we'll be in touch response which I've gotten several times with other interviews.

I have a job interview tomorrow morning.
I am already employed.
The job I have applied for is one of greater opportunity and is in the same industry I now work in and have over 10 years experience in.
I know all the basics - smile, make eye contact, dress for success, etc.
But are there any other ways in which I can make myself stand out from all of the other applicants?
I desperately want this position as it would be a wonderful career advancement - but I don't want to seem desperate!


Also, would it be improper to wear a black skirt?
Would it seem too formal or like I was attending a funeral?
I planned on perhaps wearing a black skirt with a light colored dress shirt.
If anyone has any tips to offer I would be most appreciative!!

In my last job, I had such a terrible boss that I am affected mentally and emotionally. He was an extremely intimidating person who commanded respect. He had a way about him that made people in the depatment look up to him and everyone wanted to please him. If we got kudos from him, it made our day. If we go negative feedback from the boss- we were crestfallen.

Anyway, he decided I was not good enough for his team and fired me. He liked to stare, smirk, yell and scream at me and he liked the fact that he was able to intimidate me. He liked playing the bully. I knew he was a bad man, but something about him made me want to keep trying to please him. Well, I failed and now the fight is out of me. I have struggled going back to work and would rather just watch TV and play with the Internet.

Can you relate?

I am looking for entry level position. I want to call some different companies to get the name of who I should mail my info to, what form I should mail it in etc. None of these companies are advertising that they are even hiring. What is the best way of calling and saying I want a job with you without sucking up or sounding desperate?
