Other - Careers & Employment

All right here's a little about me first. I am 21 years old with no college degree (1 full year though), 1 daughter (just turned 1 year old) and a wife of 2 mths. I just left Wal-Mart because they pay highschool wages for everyone and have two jobs being offered to me at the moment. One would start next Tuesday which is Procter & Gamble. (The distributor of your toothe paiste and body ointments) I'd be driving a forklift loading semi's and what not started at $12 an hour with possible 50Cent raises every 90 days for first year. Offer number 2 is FerrellGas. Here i'd be delivering propane around town putting my class B CDL to good use. They'd start out at 12.50 an hour and raise who knows when. P&G is full time Ferrellgas is part. I am currently taking 2 classes in college and both jobs would work around them. What should i do?? I'm leaning towards deliveryman (outside work, work 8-4 M-F) Where as P&G 2p.m.-10p.m. sometimes Sat. and Sundays. What should i do??

In April 2007 I applied for a job in Texas and I live in Michigan. I was interviewed by human resource, manager, senior manager and a co-worker. All the phone interview went well and the senior manager asked me to come on my expense for the interview I told him thats not possible since at that time I didn't have funds. The trip would of cost me $1000 and no guarantee of a job he said there were 4 people on last stage. Then I never hear from him nor I called them because I knew there answer. Then in May I get a call from HR calling the job has changed to higher position for which i'm not qualified. I see the job opened again in August I found that from the manager when I applied him and he told me to apply on website and yes another position opened. I applied on Aug 27 on the company website and have not heard from them. I'm really interested in this job and willing now to take the chance and pay but I also feel I found so desperate.

A new super came in moments after a co-worker ran out of the room all upset about something. Her friend was right behind her. Super "where is everyone" I said "J" got all upset about something a ran out and "Y" chased after her, so me a super twiddling thumbs they did not come back for 45 mins. Next Day "J" rips me a new one for saying she left upset. Duh... I was being nice, I gave a good reason why she was not there, not, I don't know, which would make her look bad. These work place drama queens drive me crazy. We recently had someone else fired for work place aggression. I have plenty of stories, not enough time.

I handed in a resume to a store about 2 weeks ago with my friend. They just called her right now, and she asked if they'd call me too. The lady said 'oh, shes up next'. But coincidentally my phone was off, so my friend called me and told me to turn it on immediately. It's been 30 minutes, and I haven't heard from them. I want to call them, but what am I supposed to say? Any help is appreciated.

I just finished School and I recently had an exceptional job offer for a job that I applied for a long time ago. The problem is, that it is in the wrong state. My family is planning on relocating in two months (I was unaware of this when i applied) and I have been seeking out jobs in my new state for ages with no good responses. I would ideally love to take the job in my current state and have this job turn into a telecommuting position if posible. How can I find out the possibilities for telecommuting prior to accepting the job without raising concerns with my new employer? Can I negotiate this into my job counter offfer? If so, how? Do you reccommend not mentioning the word "telecommute" now and asking for the telecommuting option when the time comes? I look forward to your advice.

I already have my degree, so I don't have to take the class. I just did it because he asked me to. He is paying for the course itself, but studying and going to school takes time which I'm not asking reimbursement for. Should I ask him to pay for my text book or atleast half? It cost $90 and I really can't afford that right now

Many people I knew had jobs throughout Grade 11 and some threw Grade 10. I never got one and only now it's before my last year of school (Grade 12) that I am searching for one. And my mom said the process can take months. How am I going to afford post-secondary education with so little time to work? Have I waited too long?

My currently employer is paying me very very little money (and no insurance to boot!). How can I look for a higher paying job while still working at my current one? Usually new employers want to contact all previous employers for verification. Any inputs would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have been employed for 7 years by the same company and I make good money but can't work days, which is what my family needs. I'm considering quitting. What can I do to make as smooth transition from my steady job to hopefully one that will allow me to be there for my family? What are the unemployment/welfare laws in Texas. I'm looking to do some training to find a 9-5 career. I know I'll be taking a huge paycut. I just want to do what's best for my family. I'm tired of other people raising my kids (babysitters). How much time does Texas state assistance help you financially? Is there job placement? Do they give you enough time for education/training? How long would I have to find employment? etc.

I manage a business with very extreme business cycles - the summer and holiday months are very busy where the fall and spring months are very slow.

I have 4 assistants who all need hours.
-One is the former manager who stepped down to a part time role when I took over. He doesn't want to work weekends and prefers to not work nights. He's been with the company for about 10 years.

-One as hired as an assistant about a year ago after having worked for about 6 months as a regular crew member. She mainly wants to work weekdays but will work some weekend days and nights. She is also pregnant and will be going on maternity leave in 2-3 months and I don't know if she plans to come back after her baby is born.

-One was hired from the outside about 4 months ago when I was in a tight situation. She was hired for 25-30 hours per week.

Here's my situation: I'm 22 and graduated from a reputable college a few months ago. Now I'm living at home and in the process of applying to professional school. I regret not making many friends in college, because now I'm stuck at home by myself, sad and lonely. I found a job as an SAT tutor that pays $25/hr, which is great, but I won't have the chance to meet new people or make new friends, aside from the high school students who I will be tutoring alone in their homes. So, I'm thinking of getting another job in addition to the SAT job where I can meet more people my age. Where should I work? Starbucks? My concern is I have a degree and shouldn't settle for minimum wage. Or maybe I should for the purpose of meeting people? Or maybe at a restaurant where I can earn tips? Any suggestions? I live in San Jose, California. Thanks :)

Here is the deal:
On Mondays and Wednesdays I don't have class until 12
On Tuesdays and Thursdays I have class at 9am.
In addition, I am a waitress working until 12am on some weekdays and until 2am on weekends.

Should I wake up at the same time everyday and try to get into some routine? What time should I plan on?

Do you have any advice that can help me?

My wife loves kids and wants to make some extra money by babysitting 1 or 2 kids 5 days a week at our home. Does she need some sort of license to do that? Can she put an add in the paper for that if she's not licensed? Are there any laws about that? We live in Utah.

My wife has been working about 10 hours a week (mostly from home) for an accounting office. She has a few years of accounting experience, but not many other marketable skills. Her position is being done away with and she needs to find another job.

She wants a job that she can work about 10 hours a week preferably from home or possibly away from home just on weekends. If she worked more than that we would have to pay for childcare and it wouldn't be worth it.

Can you suggest any job or type of job that might be good to consider?

Do they ask to speak to the main manager or your old manager the one that you list on the application?

I'm just not ready to finish school as is expected from me, and then get some career that I may or may not have the rest of my life. I am in school and I work in the mortgage industry I like it, and want to have a career in it, but for some reason not right after I graduate. Is it odd that I want to finish school only to serve 4 years in the air force, or to join the air force and then finish school. I want to serve my country( i know there are more ways to do that then joining the military) I also want be in a new environment, I have lived in pretty much the same city around the same people. and I want a job that may or may not end up being my career but it will be a different experience I would not have had otherwise. I know there is a war going on so joining would make Iraq a possibility which doesn't scare me I just know that would be hard on my family. so any advice or alternatives, besides joining the peace corp first. I have thought about it already
