I don't like going out and looking for employment, especially when I am out of work. I just despise looking for employment. Is there a way to make it more likeable or motivational when looking for employment?

i turn 16 on september 3rd. ive needed a job for some time now but i dont want your typical "would you like fries with that" occupation. i babysit here and there, i do yard work and help clean peoples houses for some pretty good cash...but i think its time for something more stable. so can anyone give me some job ideas? heres a list of what i DONT want

* fast food jobs
* mini market/grocery store jobs
* servant/maid jobs (they get very annoying very quick)
* online selling junk...thats retarded
* no 'start your own business' stuff...i have neither the time nor the money

i wish that i could get a job as like a clerk or something...something that involves paperwork and would put my brain to good use. but i dont know of any jobs i can get being as young as i am

anyone have any clues?

I got a job this week working for a web developer/e-commerce business. They needed a "college student" to finish a "quick IT/Networking" project. Basically, their IT guy quit, and left the place a mess.

I have already completed wiring the network throughout the building, and everyone is up and running. They have asked me to organize some of the hardware and software, as it was previously a mess.

Currently, it seems, I am employed project to project, I would like to stay on with this company but I am primarily a web-designer, does anyone know of any techniques, or have any advice on how I make the transition from, the guy sorting through boxes in the corner to a new designer?

I am sure I am slightly less qualified than their other designers (not totally familiar with Flash, etc), but are there any techniques I can use to sell the attributes I do have?

I'm wondering what industry I should try to get my foot into. I recently became a single mom to an 8 month old. I need to work full time, but I have no real experience, nor do I have a college degree.

I've had experience with web design, Photoshop, and other things internet-related. I have also done more than a few years in the "fast food" industry (which I am NOT going back to). I've been a housekeeper for a resort management company. But I'm getting laid off at the end of the summer season, and I need full-time work that pays more than minimum wage!!

I don't even know where to begin to look for jobs, I am working on a resume, no matter how small... Right now, it looks like I'm going to have to strip or something to make above minimum wage (eeuuww).

Any suggestions, for how to find a GOOD job, with little or no experience besides what I've listed??

All answers are appreciated.

What is the maximum hours and what is the minimum?

Does it depend on the company?

I've read that forty hours and above is considered full-time (but I haven't really looked into this).

I'm going to be a freshman in college (full-time student) and I just got a job. It's in the airport and I only have two other coworkers. They want me to work for four days, eight hours every week. That comes to 32 hours. Do you think that's too much for a full-time student?

I don't think I'll be able to handle that.

I always read in career publications that you must ALWAYS negotiate your salary, even if you are happy with their number, because hiring managers expect it and lowball you on purpose. I also know you're never supposed to give an exact number, but I was pressured on the interview and gave them a range.

Can I still negotiate if they offer me more than I asked for? Can I play the "I have a higher offer card" or is that a dangerous game to play?

Please helpppppppppp?

I got a call from HR for a job and she left the message wanting to know if i'm relocating to there state and she wanting to discuss my resume so i called and he said r u relocating to that state i said this i don't have any plan on relocating to o that state however if i get the job i'm willing to relocate on my expense. She then said can you come for interview i said yes. She said she will forward my resume to a manager and see what happens if the manager wants in person or phone interview. I asked her how long it will take she said she doesn't know. I sounded so nervous and i think i did really bad.

She didn't discuss my resume. Does it mean i should forget thsi job what you think?

They say to choose a job you love so you'll love what you do. I've yet to find that job.

I hate the corporate world, the business suits & ties, the blackberrys--everything. That's just not the type of environment I ever want to make a career working in.

I recently moved and have been searching for a decent job. Is it worth my sanity to go be a bank teller, for instance, when I know that's not where I see myself long term just for the sake of earning a paycheck?

Have you ever accepted a job offer at a place where you knew you couldn't see yourself working long-term?

I will try to explain this without making it complicated. I am 19 years old and have never had a job. Before anyone judges me and decides that I am lazy, I assure you that I am NOT! I have been sick since I was 15 years old and only now healthy enough to begin working. I have looked forward to working for years but I could not have handled it (physically) before. Now that I am ready, I am not sure what to do. I assume that because of my age people will expect me to have job experience, which I am worried it will affect my chances. My other thing is I am healthy enough to work but not 100%, which means I need a job that isn't stressful (physically). I also can't work with food in any way (long story). So I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for jobs that would fit my needs. Also, any advice to make me more appealing since I don't have any job experience would be great.
Remember, can't be physically stressful and nothing with food. What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

I've worked in my job for over 2 years now, I have done the same shifts on a saturday and Sunday for the duration of the two years, I have always worked 14hrs and had a steady income (i have another job too). Since a new manager has started my hours have been decreasing first to 12hrs and this week I'm only working 10 hrs. So slowly but surely Im missing out on hours. This month a total of 16hrs. The problem is, is that the new people who have started are taking my hours this isn't right is it.

I am in my late 40's, have been working a temp to perm job for a year, and have gotten no negative feedback in my performance - I am an expert in my field, and my boss has the means to hire me, but doesn't want to 'seal the deal' - every sign possible shows he's happy with my work.

They've hired several people in their 20's and 30's

How could I prove some type of discrimination ? In my state, it is illegal to record a conversation without the person's knowledge, so I can't tape him.
