Hi!
I'm going to the interview soon. It is very special position for me. And I'd really like to get this job. I'm not interested in money at all. I just wanna do that job. So is it ok not to tell the salary I want to the interviewer. If yes, what is the best way to say and explain?

Thanx!

I had a volunteer position for 3 whole years and I did it every single day just like a real job, only it wasn't paid. Do you think I could put it under the "Work Experience" area of my resume?

It doesn't seem fair to me that a lot of manual labour jobs only pay the minimum wage. Surely, doing dangerous jobs and working out in all weathers is worth more than that? Manual workers are far more likely to suffer injuries or industrial illnesses than office workers, so why are they paid so much less?

Everyone I've talked to says that it's not what it used to be, of course only a couple of them have actually worked in this profession and it was many years ago. So I would really like some insite on what it's like now. I am wanting to move to LA and if can't find a job then I am thinking of being a flight attendant but don't want to make such a bold move in the wrong direction. At the moment I live on the east coast, and California is calling my name. Please help with some advice. Thank you guys!!

I am obviously a female. And I am wondering about those who have pursued there whole career in engineering. I think if I get a good enough head start I could achieve the goal. But is it a good broad career path? Could I do a lot with it? I mean, money is kind of an issue, but I want to know from people who have made their lifes off an engineering degree. Was it worth it? Or would you pursue another career if you could start all over?

Bear with me, as I try to explain this:

I began working for my current company last year. Started out as a Sales Rep.

My boss, the Store Manager took a position at another company a few months later.

I became the Interim manager. I would have gotten the manager spot if I wasn't moving at the end of the summer. Instead, I was given the Assistant Manager position and asked to work full time.

I worked full time for about a month while they looked for a new store manager that needed to be trained during the summer so she'd be ready to take on the responsibilities.

Once she was hired, she didn't feel like we needed as many hours or that she needed to be trained so she cut my hours down to one day a week. (Let's just say quite a few customers have been complaining about her, but that's another story).

I'm leaving in three weeks to move to another state. I found out a week and a half ago that the new girl wanted to hire one of her friends for my position "when I leave"

I need desperately to move out of my parents house by mid-August. I have been applying for jobs outside of the area since May, and have gotten no leads. My resume was written by one of those workforce places, and so it should not be too bad. I am in my mid 20's.. with summerly clerical experience working for a department head at a hospital. (Director of Nursing). Same company hired me back each year, even created a position for me one summer. But that is only a temp position and does not accomplish my goal of moving away from my current area. I hate sales, I absoulutely suck trying to sell stuff. I need garunteed income for bills/rent.. Not commission.. Ive been looking in Admin Assit.. and all of my searching has been with online job searches.. Is there a better way to find a job in a different state? What jobs should I be qualified for with my BA? HELP!! I need a job my parents (uptight) will let me move out on my own to work.. I need to become financially independent!

I was just curious what the qualification and training involved is for air traffic controllers. I always thought it would be an awesome job. I do have a Bachelor's Degree and I'm working on Master's right now and will finish in May of '08. I know it's a stressful job, I was just wondering what training is needed. How could I find more information on this profession?

I graduated back in 2002 with a B.S in chemistry. I was unable to find any decent chemist position after graduation. I didn't know that a B.S. in chemistry was so worthless. I didn't spend 4 years in college just to get a $12/hr job. I eventually found a job with an insurance company, working as a claims rep....basically just on the phone all day filing claim reports. After 2 years working here, I got so disgusted with it. This was such a dead-end job with no future potential. So I quit. My father owns a gas station, for which I have been working at since June of 2005.

Now I just feel so lost and unmotivated. College did not prepare me at all for the real world. I didn't gain any useful skills that I can take to the workforce. When I tried applying for chemist positions, they told me I didn't have enough experience...so I applied to chemist jobs that asked for an associate's degree, so I can gain experience.....and they told me I was OVER-EXPERIENCED because of my bachelor's degree!!

I feel like the scapegoat at work. Everytime something goes wrong, I am the first one they call at yell at BEFORE they get their facts straight. Three times this week, customers have called to complain about this or that and I have gotten the brunt of it even after I proven that the problem lay elsewhere (other parts of the supply chain). No one ever says "you're right, I'm sorry". My co-workers tell me that I need to stick up for myself and get just as pissy as everyone else so last night, after a nasty voice mail from someone, I returned it with my own pointing out their error. Of course, it will be turned around to say that I had an "attitude". I am looking for something else but how do I deal with being the scapegoat until I find something?

One of my co-workers was on the clock, when he saw his friends come into the restaurant. He took them outside (whilst he was meant to be working) and started doing burnouts in the car park. The smoke from the tires started causing some of us to choke, and when the shift manager found out that the crew person was outside doing burnouts, he shrugged and walked away completely ignoring the situation. I don't think its fair on everyone who was doing their work properly to let this go unnoticed considering we all get paid the same, and this particular co-worker of mine has lately become arrogant and rude often throwing food at others and harassing others (yet it goes unnoticed).

The burnouts were recorded on the store security cameras - should I report it anonymously to the store manager who will actually do something about it, or will this be a bad idea? What should I do?
