Is it hard to get a job as a mechanic w/o a degree nowadays like everything else?

Ill be 18, high school graduate, w/ about 25 credits and a little job experience towards working on cars; would that be enough to get a mechanic job in New Mexico or should I finish the associates degree?

The first is a full time employee, She is older than the other employee so she has more experence than the other. My problem with her is she complains about anything and everything and my other employees are tired of it. Plus she is not learning at the rate at which I previously thought she would.

The second is only part time and much younger, plus they're not as experienced, but they show great promise. My problem with him is they sometimes act childish and like to pull pranks and such.

Both are very hard workers, so this will not be an easy decision when the time comes to make it.

Ever since I was little, I wanted to be a Vet. Now that Im older though, I have been thinking about other carrers that work with animals, like wildlife rehabilitation or working to help animals that have been abused and persecuting their neglectful owners. I still want to be a vetrinarian but im worried that I wont be able to deal with the blodd. Would I get used to it? Give me your opinion.

it looks as if it will go through! How is this possible, he quit and moves to PA and now wants to collect unemployment. My husband is a flooring installer and he can hardly afford our bills. How can someone be allowed to do this? He can just go and claim that he was not given his pay (which he was, but my husband withheld some of the last paycheck because the employee got into an accident with my husband's van and wouldn't pay him for the damage. My husband specifically told him NOT to drive the van.)

Now we have to appeal, what should my husband say to win the case.

BTW, this employee lives with his mother and has $600k sitting in the bank so don't think we are trying to screw some poor homeless jobless individual.

And after he quits he moves to PA (we are in NJ), we think since he was moving and he decided to quit, like most people would. Doesn't the person reviewing the case realize that, his address is so far!

I am a special ed teacher and I was offered a new job by a different school district this year. I resigned from my last position the end of the school year. The reason being I didn't like the micromanagement, lack of flexibility, criticism, or the severe needs of the students. The position at this school is a little different but it is still special ed and the principal seems eager to hire me. My dilema is that I have some hesitations with accepting this position because of the problems of this previous year. The real pro for this position is the salary. I'm looking at other job positions within the school system (non-teaching). Accepting a different position will mean less pay but less responsibility, more flexibility, and less stress. Please give me any constructive input or advice. I just want to make sure that I am not over thinking this thing or jumping the gun

A co-worker resigned from an over demanding position, which required her to do a two person job. She asked for assistance, did not get it, so she resigned. It was becoming too much for her and the company did not want to give her a raise or hire extra staff. The company has a hiring freeze and expects other people in the department to pick up the slack for the next six months. They do not intend to hire extra staff soon. Is this fair to the other employees? Do these employees have a right to demand compensation for taking on additional responsibilities? If yes, what demands are reasonable? Should these employees start sending out their resumes, if no one seems to be listening?

I have been at a company 4years. I have had a medical problem that I only communicated to my supervisor, but have not ask for any special situation, no additional time off, and glowing reviews with raises & promotions, never written up for anything, numerous service excellence awards. Then I get an infection and have to go into hospital (not directly related to my medical condition) and while I was away in the hospital (short term disability for just about 2 weeks)I supervisor announces in a meeting to everybody what my medical condition is. Glowing review dated 7-29, manager says I am getting a merit increasebut on 8-3 HR calls says supervisor says there is "deficit performance" what exactly is unknown. Now I doubt I will the merit increase I was told on 7-29. I was wondering what recourse I have now that they wont what me because I am sick, even though I never needed or ask for anything different than anybody else. How can they tell everybody?

Can they fire me because I am sick?

I hate being stuck in an office. I don't know everything but I know a little about a lot. I love money, the night life, the lime light, beautiful people, exquisite food, fine wine, casino's, and tropical places. What do you think?

No stupid replies just to get points, please.

Do employers who would refuse to employ somone on the basis of

Interest in ROCK (metal, nu-metal, emo etc),/PSY Trance(rave) music with the coloured radical haircut/tattoos etc to go with it.

Maybe they are into swinging, an ex pole dancer or porn star.

Deserve their company to go bankrupt or clients reject them as not basing their choice of employee on the base of:


Brains.

Skill

Qualification

Experience.

Talent

Passion for the job

Niceness

etc

Logical thinking

Rationality

Crerativity

Problem solveing..

Being prepared with back ups so can deal with things when they go wrong

Having the right equipment to do the job

Ie what I deam professional

But instead on image. Oh and a pole dancer could get staff fit with morning work outs and a porn star should be good with cameras. Not to mention an ex lap dancer should be unbelievably effective at selling to blokes

I just wanted some thought about interviewing with the same company again. I had an interview with a big 4 accounting firm a year ago but it did not go so well. It is a year later and interviews are coming up again. I am a college student about to graduate and the big 4 accounting firms usually do a lot of hiring in the fall. I am applying for other jobs also but I really want to work for the big 4. I plan on getting my CPA which hopefully would open the doors and increase my qualifications more.

I have worked the same dead end job for 6 years. After 2 and a half years without a pay raise they finally gave me a 50 cent raise a month ago, which IMO was a slap in the face after 6 years of service and many broken promises and excuses. I felt like they never really treated me that well, even though we got along OK on a personal level.

I have already enroled in college and am going back to school in a few weeks. I am really nervous about how to resign as I can see an altercation with the owner who is a bit of a hot head. I want to quit the right way, but I feel like I owe them nothing more than the bare minimum.

What is an acceptable way to put in my two weeks without starting a fight? Has anyone used a letter of resignation? If so how do you deliver it in a way that is professional???

My dad recently went for a job interview and he will hear within two weeks if he will be called back for a second interview.

Now usually, he sends a thank you letter. However, I told him not to send one until he receives a call saying he has a second interview and then after the second interview, send one.

What do you think? What should he do? Any advice would be great!

Thanks! :-)
