Other - Careers & Employment

well I'm 25 working as a part time builder not a bad job but I wouldn't mind a job where basically I get paid loads for doing nothing. Because I'm fairly laid back and don't like to give orders. The job that I've got doesn't give me enough hours and doesn't pay very well. I've basically spent the past ten years going from job to job but nothing really sparks my interest. I like to play alot of video games, I love going on the computer. I am actually good with people but feel as though I should be an employee rather than an employer as I don't like to give orders but idk But I feel as though that I need a career otherwise I'll get to 30 with no job and that would be just weird so yer can anyone help.

I've been looking for a job in product development/production. and have had no luck.Can anyone help me or give advice?? Other areas which I'm interested in possibly pursuing are event planning and real estate but don't know how to get started in either field. I also can not afford to take a pay cut by starting at the bottom again.. I already have 5 years experience in my current field. I'm also willing to re-locate. Please help! Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I served 6.5 years in the Navy as a nuclear power officer. My education is in Industrial and Systems Engineering. I'm currently a program manager for a defense contractor. But I don't enjoy this job. How do I go about becoming a park ranger while supporting my family (i.e. not going back to school)? I know park ranger/ forest ranger jobs are hard to get, and you usually have to take seasonal work with the service, with the hopes of it leading to full time work. Is there any other way? Thanks.

hi
i have a weekend job at a local small supermarket, during my time of from university i tend to do more hours during in the week basically whatever hours the manager can offer me ill do. I only have one year left at uni so i would be looking to leave the company next year. however today the manager asked me to go on a duty manager course! i have always liked the idea of doing the course but will it cause friction between myself and others who have been there a lot longer and intend on staying with the company on a more permanent basis than me? the manager knows my situation reagrding uni and said she would really like me to do it still! should i take my friends advice and think about number1 for a change as afterall it will look good on my cv or should i give up the opportunity of duty manager????? (by the way i am 19 years old)

Okay ya'll, I worked for this company for 4 years, and quit abut 6 weeks ago. I haven't been able to find a new job, and now the old one wants me back. I quit because of scheduling issues which they say we can work out. The only thing Is I was so miserable there and it turned me into someone I am not. Even my friends and family notice it. Should I go back? What do ya'll think?

what would you do if the contract at your job ended and they were supposed to extend it by this past friday -- they did not -- and now they're telling you to come to work on Monday and they'll talk to HR (but there's no proof that you will get paid or that they will even do what they say as they are full of ****)...? Would Monday be your last day (even if you do NOT have another job) or do you keep going to work in hopes that they'll get their lying, lazy butts together enough to do as they promise?

I asked HR about my benefits in regard to "if I were to leave my job, when would the benefits terminate", etc. They questioned me (but did give me the answer) and I replied that I just wanted to know as I have a lot of school/internship things coming up in the future and I wasn't sure if I would end up having to leave my job if I couldn't make the hours work together.

The HR rep told me that I HAD to tell my boss that I was "thinking of leaving" and that they would at least give me the opportunity to tell him before they did! They said "nothing is kept from the managers." I was totally shocked and really upset by this.

Is this legal? ethical? normal in HR?

p.s. I have not talked to my boss, but from what I heard from other employees HR stopped by to see my boss (which NEVER happens) and brought a "termination of employment" form. I'm just a very part-time employee in a basic position--not anyone crucial to the functioning of anything!

Okay. So I had an interveiw at coles bookstore. im just in highschool. they said they'd call by friday. i cant wait, i want to know if i even have a chance.so here are the details.They are hiring 6 people. i wore a knee length white and olive green skirt, white tank top with white button up sweater and white flats. i answered the questions, but didnt go super prepared cause i didnt want to be fake. I knwo i didnt do the best i could, not at all.. some things really caught me off guard, like "define team spirit" and sutff like that. I was reeeally shy because i was so nervous. i was so shy they said it could be a problem, but i assured them im usually a people person. Now, my friend also got an interveiw there the day before me, and got called the same day and got the job. she said she wore regualr clothes from stitches, was a little shy. so, she got the job the same day she got interveiwed.. does this mean i wont get it? ughhhhhh im so worked up, i want this job so bad.

My Boss is a very A-type person who is keen to get ahead. However, he's not a great mamger - he raises his voice to silence me when I am trying to explain a point. When he delegates something to me with a deadline I work heard to do a good job and meet it - and often he doesn't even bother looking at it or if he does he gives no feedback. I've seen him take credit for other peoples work and I suspect he does it to me. I don't want to quit or make a scene as I'm in a company I really want to build a career in. Any ideas for managing this guy?

If you left a job and then later re-applied to the same company, do you have the right to know what's in your file? Specifically, if they've marked your file as "do not rehire," is H.R. required to tell you that? If you ask?

I worked for a company for six months, but I recently had to leave because my supervisor was sexually and racially harassing me and the owners of the business refused to do anything. Now, I'm looking for a new job. Of course, I understand the red flags that must go up in a prospective employers head if I tell them I left my previous job because I had such serious issues with my boss, but I know it will also look bad if I say I've been unemployed for the last six months. Should I just make up some lie about what I've been doing the last 6 months? Any comments or suggestions? If anybody out there is a employer, I'd greatly appreciate your opinion.
Thanks alot!
