How long after an interview should you wait before contacting/following up with the interviewer? I don't want to "bug" her, but I want her to keep me in mind...

I have been looking for a job since summer started. Now it's half way through summer and a local friendley's is giving interviews the day after tomorrow. I want a job. But my father told me that if I got one even this late in the summer it would only be for the summer. Because of school. So would walking 2 miles in the heat then spending all day every day on my feet for minimum wage or less be worth a job that will only last a max of 8 weeks? Should I even bother this late in the summer? Should I wait until something better comes along? Will something better come along? Would it be idiotic to not at least give this a try? What should I do? Should I walk two miles every day to friendley's and two miles back for money that won't even pay for driver's training? What should I do?

If you could have ANY job/career possible what would you chose to be? Why?

Personally, I'd love to be an Astronaut. I’ve always been interested in space, stars and whatever else is out there.

You might find this funny, but I have no idea what to answer if the guy interviewing me asked "So, why do you want this job" or " What made you decide to go for this job " ....
I wont freak or anything, but I might stutter.

Any heads-up answers regarding types of questions that could be asked in any interview (regardless of the career) & the 2nd question I just wrote down.

Very thankful in advance.

No, I'm not scared (as in he is mean, loud, rude or obnoxious), but he is very inteligent and although I do a good job and he keeps telling me I do, I sometimes feel less as smart and tend to be very quiet around him. How can I get over it!?!?!?

I'm 18 and considering getting a job working for a company that installs air conditioning. My dad is freaking out that I won't stick with it and stuff but I really want somebody else's opinion/expierience. The pay is great and so are the benefits. Is it hard work?

..and it sucked. Some of you may have seen my previous posts about all the problems I have encountered in my job (which is fast food by the way) and the rude co-workers I was with. Well, I had about enough of it. I went to talk to my manager today, in my uniform and all, to tell her that I want to quit and my reasons for it. She didn't even really want to hear WHY I was quitting, which I found a very poor choice. If she doesn't listen to why her employees are quitting, what's that going to do for future business? (others have considered quitting too). She was all like "This is really late notice, you could have at least called earlier." and I HAD called this weekend, but she wasn't in. I also had set up an appointment to talk to her about my concerns a couple weeks back with another manager..and either he never told her about it or she totally ignored it. Either way, they didn't care or take me seriously. I offered to keep working this week, but she just made me leave.What do you think

Its causing me a lot of stress and I have become ill as a result over the last few weeks, especially as many of my colleagues have had their shifts changed. So far I have been fobbed of with excuses such as; 'you are the only one left with enough experience to support the new management team' and 'we don't know what to do with you yet'. I have had three new managers in as many months and the term 'chocolate teapot' just about applies to their ability to resolve the situation. I am considering quitting over this but may lose out on a potential redundancy payment which would be quite high as I have been there a while or asking my doctor to sign me off with stress as I feel that bad about it. I am torn though as I feel very loyal toward my employer. Any suggestions on the next step.

I see so many jobs advertised for PA's that require a PA to book travel arrangements. The thing is, I live quite a sheltered life and although I currently do secretarial work, I've never flown or been abroad and wonder if this may prevent me from being able to do these duties. I've no idea about planes, flights or countries. Do you think this may hinder me from getting on?

It is the end of a job interview...what are your last comments to the interviewing panel? Looking for something creative, but not off the wall. Something that will make you stand out from the rest.

This issue is a great source of frustration for me. I only have a vague idea of what i like. Whenever I have tried to pursue something I was refused the opportunity to even train for upgrades. Perhaps I'M just looking for someone or something to give me a tiny idea of what to do.

Education in high school was very difficult due to problems with my parents. It is due to past experiences that I would like to get professionally involved in the addiction's industry.

My question is what kind of careers could i possibley train for to effectively treat addictions both mentally and physically?

Does anybody know of a site that can tell you what jobs are in demand in your area and how much they pay? My husband is considering a job change and wants to go back to college but was wanting to research some careers. We live in a small town and don't have a lot of options?? He has taken some networking classes but he is unsure of how available that job is here?

company... the guy really wants to get my bf in and helped him fill out the application and everything. My bf's current emplyer was contacted and his previous ones also. All really good things were said about him. The only thing is that the manager called my bf back and said that he just got his driving record back and it was horrible (hes applying for a mechanic job, his driving reocrd is bad because he got his license suspended a year ago for driving without insurance and he had a few speeding tickets.. no DUI or nething like that) so anyway the guy said that there is another report that he has to run and that hes still working on it and that it's "not dead"... he called 5 days ago and said all this on the machine and told my bf he would call back later that day when he got the report back... he never called back and its been five days... is that really bad??? do you think he wont get the job because of his driving record?

I have a wonderful job and great bennies but nothing lasts forever...and I have been told that I have great legs and smile and that I should get into MODELING...but honestly I would settle for anything lucrative just so long as I get to be me femme self and enjoy doing whatever it is I do for work...

First, does anyone have any idea where I can start as far as a modeling gig goes? Do you know of any agencies in the Massachusetts area and how does one get taken seriously...

Second, what other jobs could I go for that would prove to be worth while...I am NOT looking at stripper or drag queen so don't even go there...I was thinking more along the lines of secretary or data entry to be more specific...something legit and something I can go home at night from and know I made an honest living...

I would really appreciate any ideas and advice on this subject...and thankx in advance !!!

I am planning to just stop going to work, quit that is. I don't like the place I'm working at. I don't think they treat the workers fair where I work at. Anyway, If i just stop going to work without letting them know, will it go bad on my record? Should I let them know that I'm leaving? I'm not under contract or anything.
