But this morning I received a phone call from the same company and they said that they were exteremely impressed with me and would like to keep my information on file as they are going through a major merger in the next 6-12 months.

I was given the impression that they are kind of testing out their new pick and if things don't work out then.....

At the end of the phone call I was told that he would not be suprized if they called me back in 6mos or less.

If a candidate was not selected the first time around, then why would they be considered again?

I am someone who is desperate to get outta the craphole that I am in. Mixed signals like this are very discouraging and downright depressing.

Any ideas???

I am using Resume Maker and all the templates don't have any objectives. My former temp agency also told me to remove the objective. I need your honest advice.

my wife and i are both family doctors. She makes $140k while i make $120k, and i have no problem with that. I am actually proud that she is worth more than me in the medical market.

But, while at a party, a friend of mine was outraged that i made less than my wife for some reason. i told him that i was proud and had no problem with that, but i think he had issues with male-biased thinking.

We are a very young family of three and I would like to relocate to TX because it has been listed as one the best states to move to as far as quality of life/cost of loving is concerned. I am particularly interested in the northeastern region (Dallas/Ft worth region). I need to know how I can go about finding a job. I am educated/worked in the finance field (worked in NYC for 2 years). My company has no offices in TX. I would like to get a gig before I move so does anyone know of any agencies that can help with my situation? A lot of agencies I have talked to are asking me to move first then they will help me, I have a baby and I do not want to move without a job, too risky. I also wanted to know which are the best towns to consider when moving there, I mean I want to be able to get to work easily. My main concern though is how can I get a job when I am all the way in the east coast?

I am a temp right now and getting hired (finally) on Aug 13. But now that I know I am hired I've realized how bored I am with the job. I am challanged, dont get me wrong, but I am sick of the ride and just bored bored bored with doing the same tasks all the time. What can I do besides getting yet another new job?

I can't seem to stick anywhere (be it because I am a temp and the job ends or I just get sick of the place.) I am college educated and have a degree in Professional Writing, but there are no jobs in my degree where I live.

What I am trying to ask is how do you start a career without going to school? I mostly have skills as a mechanic working in a tire store and working as a Bradley mechanic in the military. I don't want to work as a mechanic anymore. I had a job as a technical support agent but that job was too stressful. I love computers but without a college education I really can't work with computers. I attended Digipen for 2 semesters but don't have anymore money to attend. I have to go back into the Army because I have applied to over 150 jobs and haven't been hired for a single one. I have had lots of interviews but no one has given me a call back. I know what I want to do but don't have the money for it. I want to make video games, write novels and stories, even make films. I don't know where to start. I am 29 years old and need to find a job where I can make my living. Any responses will help.

Thanks.

I am stupid for deciding to become a casino dealer when I was 21 years old. I started out working in the casino cage making $9 hour thinking to myself this will never get me anywhere I need to make more money than this. I began to talk with dealers that worked there and they told me this is a great job you make great money for playing games all day. I was naive I was seeing dollar signs before my own happiness and began to go to school for it

2 months later I got my first dealing job at the Claridge making approximately $15.50 tips and $4.00 base. Things were ok I seemed to like it for a while. BUT this business began to rear its ugly head. Mandatory Holidays and Weekends, Unfair Callout Point Systems, Aggressive Supervisors, NO benefits ( work 40 hours and they still call you part time) NO chance for promotion (When youre hired for part time dealer, thats pretty much all you will be for as long as you work there) Bad Schedules with different time starts and different days off every

I don't know what my passion is.. I don't know what I want to do in life.. All I know is I hate working in manufacturing, that's nothing to be proud of and I dread going in to work every day... I'm misserable in this and many other areas of my life.. this is one I'd like to start fixing as soon as possible though.

so i'm in the process of interviews for a new job.
there's 1 that sounds ok but i know the commute & it was part of the reason i left my last job. i'd actually have to pass my old work to get to this place...not sure if that's something i want to do. they also have another office in my hometown that i'd be at 1 day a week...if it was the other way around that'd be different.
there's another that i applied to 12 days ago & haven't heard back from yet (yes, i am hopeful). it pays considerably more & is closer to home.
with my dad getting older, i'm very concerned about his health (he lives downstairs from me, can barely see out of 1 eye & had a leg amputated a few years ago...oh yeah & he hit my car a month or so ago when he was going to park in the driveway...his truck was altered so he can legally drive...)
so the distance & commuting time does play a huge part in my decision. i need to be able to get here if there's an emergency

I have had 2 weeks to prepare for mine and it is happening tomorrow morning, yet I still feel like I'm not ready. I have been going over possible questions that they might ask and coming up with answers,etc. I did this last time too with my last interview, and even though it did help a little, I still messed up on one or two questions and was so annoyed with myself. I'd like to hear other peoples experiences too, would put me at ease a little, especially to know that I'm not the only one who has botched things up on the day no matter how much preparation!

There are lots of tools out there that are supposed to help you to find your professional calling - e.g., what color is your parachute, the myers-briggs personality inventory, the strong interest inventory, etc.

What do you think is the most useful and accurate? Anyone have any data on which has the most effectiveness on helping people to figure out what career path to pursue?

I am 15 years old and have had trouble with depression and have been in trouble with the law, I understand that this is the time to figure out what you want to be when you grow up. I have decided between two professions; A psychiatrist, to help out kids that suffer from depression, or a cop to help the community and to help kids not be drug users and make mistakes like I have. I need help in deciding, thanks all.

at becoming the controller. The owner has hired me to replace his girlfriend at a local dealership. But I make $35,000 and work 45-50 hours a week. They have told me there will be a significant raise within 6 months and I have this in writing as well. I will be replacing the owners girlfriend as controller. I am not sure how much of a raise they will give once I do become controller, however, I will have to work 8am-6pm Monday thru friday and 9am-5pm two saturdays out of the month. Is this all worth it?
