Other - Careers & Employment

This is will be my first job, and I chose Best Buy because I saw a "Now Hiring" sign on the front. I chose merchandising specialist, because I'm only 16 (going into Grade 12) and I need a job, and merchandising specialist basically meant working around back packing and unpacking and putting stuff in their place.

I can only work a a couple days a week because of school and I as above mentioned I don't have any previous job experience. Who thinks I'll get the job?

The people who hired me already know about the trouble I have gotten in from me and my former employers. But my new coworkers continue to ask questions daily. What should I do?

I go to an antique store and there is a sign on the door that says "Help Wanted." The owner of the store has two of the same shop and doesn't work at the one I applied to. I asked for an application and took it home and returned with it complete a half hour later. Everyone was very sweet there. A few days pass by and I hear nothing so I return to the store and as about the status of my application. They said it is up to the owner to do the hiring but they said they will remind him about it. A few more days pass by and still nothing. I call the store the manager works at and he said he has heard about me and he will look at the application and call me. A few days go by and still nothing. I call again and a sweet old lady picks up and said "Oh I know about you yes it's good you have called b/c we are very busy." It's been a few days since that and I still haven't gotten a call. I really want the job and I am starting to get worried.

I have 2 positions where I left them and I'm trying to figure out how to turn these explanations into a positive rather than making the interviewer doubt my loyalty and ability to stick with a position. The first one - I was temping and took a permanent position where they then downsized and I was laid off. The other - the company was going out of business, so I resigned to look for other opportunities. How do I turn this in MY favor rather than having an interviewer continuing to probe, why, why why???? They drive me crazy - when they ask that and make it sound like I was committing career suicide by resigning. Do you have ideas for what to say that will make me look good rather than having to go into detail about the past???

I have been searching for a job for months, and now I have one, I can't seem to stop being nervous about what my first day will be like. I just think that I am going to mess up or not know the industry enough. I am a recent college graduate and there is no formal training for the position. It just seems like its going to be very stressful but its a great opportunity. How can I get over this worry. What are some methods or ways I can prepare for this career change. Its in advertising btw...

I might be getting a job, and this lady that is helping me get it said that I should open up all day Saturdays to work. The only problem is that I go to church saturdays and I am not willing to give up my religious beliefs just for a job. She said to tell the interviewer that I can work all day Saturday, but I dont want to compromise church, but I also dont want to lose the job.

I am currently at a job that I used to love. I've been with it for almost 8 months now, recently got a raise. I enjoy working with most of my co-workers and I do like my supervisor. A couple of items that makes things difficult for me, first my schedule. I'm not full time and I'm not part time. I'm what is called "flex time" where my hours can vary between 30-35 hours and there is no sign of that changing or moving up to another position, which brings to a second problem. Due to recent budget cuts, they have stopped hiring people and stopped promoting people which is what I want to do and have made it clear with my supervisor. I am in a position where a person can move up quickly. My supervisor had the position I had and 10 months later, he was a supervisor but because of money issues, that isn't happening anytime soon and the company opened a customer service center down in Phillipines doing exactly what I am doing but for cheaper. I have enough money in my bank account

I'm wondering if I am going to be denied unemployment if I am pregnant? The requirement is you must be "ready, available and capable of working full time" and being pregnant, you still are capable. If at first I put on the form that I was unable to work full time, which isn't true but I botched it, but then spoke with someone over the phone at the agency afterwards and told them I could- they said I had to wait until I receve paperwork so I can fill out an eligibility form and then they sent me a medical form I had to fill out but I just sent it back and said that I have no doctor or medical condition I would need one for so we can just clear up this mess... now they say my account/case is impending investigation of availability and I'm not going to be paid until a decision is made (in my favor). So I don't know what the heck to make of it all... does anyone have any knowledge or experience w/ unemployment?

I have been working now for over 20 years in a professional office job. I have worked in a variety of professional jobs in a number of different companies. Only one thing is true at all jobs: I have never had constantly enough work to keep me busy all day. I look for work, I make work, I beg for work and do everything I can to get and do more work. None of these efforts are good enough. I am just not challenged and am never busy enough. My bosses tell me they are impressed with all the things I get done. But I am still bored and not challenged enough.

So do you have enough work to keep you busy all day at the office?

I am 23 and currently attending college. I work at a job that is pretty much stress free (as a cashier at a drugstore). I am happy there. My aunt emailed me a flyer advertising a cashier position at a grocery store. The pay will be only about $1-$1.50 more per hour. The grocery store is in a terrible traffic area. The drugstore that I currently work at is a close stress-free drive from my home. I do not want to switch jobs because I am content. What do I do? How do I tell my aunt that I am not interested?, she is a bit overbearing.

Ok so I work at Wal-Mart. I hate the place, but hey its a paycheck. It a great place to shop, not so great place to work. I'm still on my 90 day probation, but sense yesterday I have been feeling under the weather. I went in yesterday even though I felt I crap, But today when I woke up my body felt really weak so I called out. So my mom told me it's not good to called out before your 90 days. I really am sick though, I have a really bad cold. I have been in bed all day. My body is weak. The only reason I got up was so I could eat. Then I had to get on the computer so that I could pay this man on EBay for my schoolbook. right now I'm going to drink some tea & lay back down. Anyway am I going to get in trouble at work? I already got a verbal warning from a manager who thinks I work to slow. Man I hate that place. I do my job & their still on my back!!!!! I'm really thinking about quiting anyway.
