ive hit 30 or more (probably more!) businesses with applications, having the unemployment guy re-do my resume for future applications, also, i believe in my skills/abilities to do any job i seek-theres just one thing, they arent calling me back!!! ive got a reason why though, i havent been working in the past year and i cant explain in the interview how to get over that one major bump. Help, since august/07 ive been out looking for work, and quite frankly, im letting this get to me in the worse way. im thrust into the workforce by a lingering divorce that seem to not happen fast enough and jobs are dodging me like a plague. can employers look up my past workplaces and get a bad review without my knowledge? i had one business say that because they called up my last employer, they would pass on employing me? now im worried that somewhere, theres bad news spreading around me...? Im gradually slowing my momentum and its getting tiresome.. any suggestions out there? im not getting any yngr.

I am 18. I quit my last job back in May. I honestly was a very good worker, but I wanted to get out of what I was doing. Having the summer off was also fun. Recently I started looking again. I applied to a few places, but I have not recieved a call back from any of them. So I haven't even got as far as an interview. I'm really confused about why, I come across as a normal person, I don't have anything odd about my appearance such as piercings or tattoos. I really need to get a job because I won't be able to get a credit card without one, I am planning on getting a cell phone soon, and I am going to be at school next year. Although my parents will assist me with my education it obviously isn't cheap to live. Theres nothing wrong with a bit of extra cash, you never know when you might need it.

I wear a lot of the empire waist cut shirts at work and I ALWAYS wear a tank top underneath. I have a large bust so sometimes, my tank comes down and I have to pull it up because the last thing I want my manager (or anyone for that matter) to see is a lot of cleavage. With the tanks, a little bit peaks though even if I'm not leaning over and just sitting at my desk (I work reception.) I have button up shirts that I wear as well and some days I wear turtle necks so I like to think I have a good balance with my wardrobe. So really, how much is too much?

After I leave university, I'm considering taking a position where I will be abroad for long stretches of time. I'm 24, have never been on a date, and don't really have any close friends. A lot of other girls are planning their careers around marriage and family. Should I just assume it won't happen for me and plan my life accordingly. I'm very excited about this job and the opportunities it presents

I have a part time job and recently I started pursuing a second job to make ends meet. I was told by my first job that I have to fill out an Application for Outside Employment, that is, I have to ask them permission to have another job. I've never seen or heard of anything like that and I was kind of steamed because they don't pay me very much, they don't give me benefits, and the scheduling sucks. Has anyone else ever run up against this? Is it common?

My managers have decided to sack everyone in Jan!

One of the managers could not bear to tell us so he left early and claimed that he was going to work from home.

Another manager called me out, then hit me with that.

I then said is there nothing we can do?

We are telephone medical bill collectors, I even said I will make the branch progress.

He is an operations manager, but is always working from home and saying that we are not performing and making money.

He said that he will tell the rest of the staff on Monday, we break up for Christmas the following Friday! NICE!

The manager has told me not to say anything.. but I dont think it is far, I feel sorry for everyone, one girl is pregnant and thinks she will get full maternity. Another is a single mother who has to pay nursery fees, another chap has a pregnant wife who is due in January.

What do you think of this scenario?

How can I better prepare my self to land those good paying jobs. I want to have a general idea about what to say to the most asked questions. I really want to land a good job.

I have worked as a secretary for a small but expanding company for 6 years now. My pay hasnt gone up an awful lot in that time, my work is now boring to me as it's the same day in day out, I'm losing all motivation and feel so tired and bored all the time. I've worked hard in here and feel like I'm not appreciated. I would love to do something with real job satisfaction, helping people or animals (as I love both) or doing something that makes a difference but now that I'm 26 and getting married in 6 months time I feel like I'm destined for a life of children and housework and feel as though I've left it all too late to do something else. By the time I'd trained for another job I would be settled down and it would all have been a waste. Does anyone have any advice of a job I could do which wouldn't take much training etc which I would love, and also get job satisfaction. I just feel like the last 6 years have been wasted.

it seems that 22 year olds with a piece of paper a degree either technical or an associates who have zero work experience or nearly zero stand a better chance at a job these days than do 40ish or early 50's year old people in excellent health, who have years of solid knowledge in a field,they have their HS,and some college.
They are seeking not to do stepping stone from one company to another rather one company faithfully give their energy,many years of experience,yet it is an up hill battle if not impossible.
Employers ,Board of Directors all who themselves are this age are ignoring a huge number of potential employees based on age bias,curious.
The younger people fuss about SS well without employment SS and other Goverment programs are the only way for these vast numbers of Baby Boomers to go.

I would like to be a hotel manager, but reading these things kinda make me second guess.
I want a job I can just specialize in and not go to college for ever. I want a job that doesn't keep me in an office and not bore me to death. Perferably a job that involves some travel.
Any ideas would be great.

I've been doing construction work for nearly ten years so I'm no stranger to hard work, but I need a change. I think working on n oil rig would be great because of the pay, work to time off ratio, and the scenery changes. I've found one web page that guarantees a job in 90 days, but it has a nearly $200 membership fee. Befor I go spending money like that I thought I would seek advice here. Thanks in advance.
