Other - Careers & Employment

This is a survey type question, and I’ll be using some of the answers I get in my APA Phychology research paper.

Do you feel more productive at work when you have flexible hours compared to when you have set hours. And give reasons why or examples?

Best answer (ten points) goes to the longest most detailed answer.

I love babies and when I grow up (I'm 13) I want to have a career that involves them. I don't want to have to do surgeries on babies though. So what are some good high-paying baby careers?

Im told most resumes are only glanced at for a few seconds and must catch a interviewers eye within that time. Is adding a little humor a good idea?

Why are so many people so negative towards the new employee? If they make a mistake, instead of saying something positive like "Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.", they say something like "What are you? Retarded?". If they're not doing something fast enough, instead of saying "We try to get things done in a quick pace", they say "You're a slow worker.". Why is this? Can't they understand that "new" means exactly that: NEW. The new person has to "get their hands dirty" before they can fluently move from one thing to the next. They don't know where everything is. They haven't been trained on everything yet. I wish these people would realize that having a bad attitude towards the new person is actually WORSE in the long run. I also believe that a lot of people nowadays are not qualified to train other people. They always show them the most basic way of doing something, not the optimum way that the company looks for. It seems a lot of details are skipped in the training process. Why?

I have been doing the job for 18 months, but find it hard to sell myself, as I just organise naturally. The team was global, about 30 people. IT application, numrerous releases from design through release. I just seem to have complete writers block

Even if you only have one liner it would help

Thanks

I want to be a fireman, but i need a job that has enough pay and benefit to protect a family. Is it a good enough job to support a family by itself? Does it come with health benefits and like insurance and pension and all that stuff that will cover me and my family? If it varies by city, i live in Los Angeles or more specificly, San Gabriel Valley. I want to make a difference in people's lives, but my family comes first, so does it pay enough to support a family? And what kinds of benefits does it give me? In general, will it give me enough to live a comfortable life, including retirement?

On some resumes, Career counselors recommend putting professional organizations and union in which a person belongs to or assoicated with on their resume; does that include the following; NAMBLA, PPFA, ACLU, among others?

HI there,

I'm 22 years old, and currently in a dead end job, i left college because the last thing i wanted was to spend the rest of my life fixing computers.

So I’m wondering if anyone out there knows what good, stable careers are, I’m a little scatter brained about this, every day I think of something new to be, recruitment consultant, mortgage advisor, financial advisor, management… I have no idea what I really want to do! All I know is, I want to have a safe and secure future, and I’m willing to study for it.

I was going to be a freelance photographer but my eyes are starting to go, so this has put me into a bit of a frenzy to find a new career, if anyone has any good idea’s I’d love to hear them!

I’ve also heard about lists that predict good careers for the future, if anyone has any of those that’d be great.

Cheers!

Ok I will try and tell the story quickly… Here’s the deal… I went for training to become a Head Cashier, I am on the schedule 2-3 days out of the week as a Head Cashier. But I am not a Head Cashier according to my HR & I won’t be receiving a raise. Also, to top that off I am only PT, and was told they can’t give me full time. I asked for 3 days off now keep in mind I’m part time. They told me no because that week they needed me for 40 hours. So I am working 40 hours, 8 hours a day, Full Flex but they can’t give me FT. Why should I let them do this to me? What should I do? Should I quit? SHOULD I CHANGE MY AVAILABILITY SINCE Im NOT GETTING FULL TIME? SHOULD I TELL HIM NOT TO PUT ME ON THE SCHEDULE FOR HEAD CASHIER UNTIL I GET A RAISE?

To read my entire story… the unshortened version read my blog on the website below:

Please give me advice

What are the chances that they'd publish your book, if it's really really good? Do they buy it and you get paid for it? Or do you get money if people buy it? etc etc.

2007-06-23 12:52:33 · 5 answers · asked by Anonymous

I one day hope to have published a book, but I know that's a tough business to break into. But I love writing, I write so much and I think it would be great if I could find a career where that was a focus. I'm currently at a community college working in a generic associate in arts degree (university transfer) and I looked through the catalog...and they don't really have anything that caters to writing besides two creative writings courses with no attachments to a specific degree. I plan to take them both, but I'm just in limbo taking random classes. I've thought about journalism, what kind of career is that and stuff? (well what it is is obvious haha.). Any thoughts would be great :)

I have pasted below a direct quote from one of the many on-line job search engines? (the errors are real too)
Would you say this is an accurate statement? Are they really saying that I need to re-create my resume in the body of an email?


Tech Format:

Hiring managers have short attention spans. These people will not click on a link and visit your website. They will not read an attachment. Therefore, you must include your resume in the email text.
The email should be in ASCII text. Most hiring managers do not use applications that support HTML. Make sure you're not sending HTML email by checking the preferences of your mail client. your mail client.
Set your page width to "narrow" (60 characters max. per line). Use a hard return at the end of each line if you are in doubt.
Forget about trying to line up vertical columns, etc. They will not hold their alignment. They will look silly.
All headings should be capitalized. Lists should be set off by dashes (-) or asterisks

I just got hired in a retail setting but the store I work in is always empty with no or little customers. On average maybe only 10 customers come in per day. i was hoping that my main job would be sales, but since there are barely any customers I am really dissapointed with the position and I'm always bored there. What is a nice way of telling my boss that I'm going to quit because of this reason?

This person does similar things that I do and seems to have a lot of competitive advantages over me: better knowledge, more spare time (no family). Recently my manager offered me a possibility to grow, but now I feel that this person could be better at all the things that I am doing.
