I went in today and i was interviewed by the girl who's position i would be taking and also the HR manager for like 1 minute? which I thought was odd. She asked me one question only why I would like to be an office manager? She then said for me to follow up in a few days time and she didnt say that she would be in contact with me but for me to contact them. She also said for me to think about this opportunity and for me to call back in an email I recieved today. What does everyone think about my chances? I am realy confused. Dont they usually call you?

A while ago I applied for a waitressing job, and today they called me and told me to come in for an interview. I was hired, but after they hired me they told me the 50 million rules: no jewelry, no makeup, no nailpolish, special shoes must be worn, hair has to be in a bun. All kinds of stupid crap. I'm not interested in the job, but I just sort of nodded during the interview, because I didn't wanna jump up and be like "No thanks!" How do I gracefully get out of this?

Much thanks,

I'm writing my resumé right now and I have a question about apppropriate resumé format. I've worked for one company for 5+ years and i've held several different positions/jobs at this company due to restructuring, promotions, etc. On my resumé, do I list each position in its own entry even though they were all for the same company?

Rough example:

Employment History:

Personal Assistant / Nextel Corp / 2006-2007
-duties, responsibilities etc.

Receptionist / Nextel Corp / 2004-2006
-duties, responsibities, etc.

Mail Courier / Nextel Corp / 2001-2004

Do you see what I'm saying? The problem is that it takes up a lot of room on my resumé even though each of these listings are for the same company... So, do I give each of these positions their own listing or should I structure it another way?

Any suggestions?

I'm 22 years old, I'm currently a customer service rep with an insurance company I have been working with since I graduated HS. I enjoy the job, but the income potential only goes so far, and I'm always looking to the future.

I love the job because of customer interaction, I love helping people and giving them an experience that makes their day. It makes me feel good and makes going to work every day a pleasure rather than a hassle.

I want to work a job like this my whole life, but there is little room for advancement. Higher up positions decrease customer interaction, getting rid of the part of the job I love. I don't want to make mega bucks, just enough to own a house and support a family, while being able to go home and see my family every night.

What kind of careers fit this profile? The only thing I can think of is banking but I dont even know if I am thinking correctly. I'm willing to go to school, I just need to find the right path first!

My official title is a "admin assistant". I work REALLY hard. Most days are very stressful but I have a salary that makes up for the stress and demands of the position. However, no matter how much I do at work or well I do my job - people always think they can dump on me and show me little respect. How do you demand respect from your co-workers without getting fired?

I've applied to around 10-15 jobs. Some are better opportunities than others. Say I get an interview and an offer from Job A that is one of the less attractive jobs, but I've just been asked to interview for one of the nicer jobs? What's the proper way to ask the people from Job A to wait for an answer from me. What's a polite length of time to mull over the offer before I need to say "yes" or "no."

FWIW, these jobs are various science technician jobs, some with Universities, some with state agencies, and a few with private companies.

What is the salary equivalent for $20 an hour, $25, an hour, $30 an hour, and $35 an hour?

I'm pretty sure it isn't as obvious as (x amount per hour)*(x hours per week)*(52 weeks) because we obviously don't work 52 weeks a year. There are forced vacations (christmas, thanksgiving, july 4th, etc), as long as personal vacations and sick days.

i have a pretty good job right now with benefits & retimrent and pretty good pay. also has job security. problme is im a custodian which i cant imagine doing the rest of my life. i have a chance to go to an American Barr Associatoin approved paralegal college, but the schedule there conflicts with the schedule of my job. so in order to complete the program i will hae to find a day time job which probsably wont be as good as my current job, but i will get the good degree out of it and then have a chance to move up and its more of a career track than the custodian thing. so should i quit my good job and temporarily get a worse job for the sake of furthering my future in the long run? what do u think? thanks !

So i'm 18 now, and I want to start making money, working, and learning the value of the dollar. My only problem is what sort of job do I pick up? I've never worked so i have no experience, it wouldn't make sense to jump into something difficult. I'm not a very social person in general, and I mean shy in public, when i say that, but I think i would manage with having to deal with people on a daily basis quite well regardless of that. I just don't want to start with a grocery store job, I want somethign reasonable in a nice environment. I've been considering several book stores such as borders, but how willing would they be to hire someone who has no experience? Any suggestions on an appropriate job? I would rather NOT be on a register, but if that is what i must do , then so be it.

I'm 20, been in the Air Force for almost two years. I hate my career field, it's made me despise people. It would be very hard to cross train into a different field, because my is critically manned. Anyways, I have no idea what I want to do when I get out, (go to school yes), but for what job...I don't know. I've been trying to figure this out for years. I feel stuck, because my current "job" has great perks, but I have no heart in my field. I work hard and with pride, but I'm not happy. I don't want to get out and get a crappy job and say I used to do something better than I am now........I don't know what to do.....I'm not happy and I need some advice please. I have no problem finishing up my enlistment in good standing, I just don't know what to do after that...

I've just finished my first year of college and now am back home for the summer. I really need to make money so getting a job is crucial. But at the same time I want a job that I will really be able to enjoy and benefit from. I've done fast food jobs before in the past a really don't see myself going back to something like that. My majors are International Business and Spanish and I'd like to find a job that might allow me to advance my Spanish speaking abilities (I'm fairly fluent right now) as well as enhance my knowledge of the business field. Plus I'm sure it would look great on my resume if I have experience working with my two majors. Does anyone know of any good jobs that I can look into?
