I was fired almost a year ago where I only worked there for very few weeks. It was my first real career job. I already received the job and accepted it. Now I need to meet with HR and I have 5 references (none from previous job) They are all excellent and related to the job except it was mainly internships, independent study and volunteer work. However, some I have worked with for a year to several years. I plan on putting this job I was fired from on my application under employment history. Will they just verify this place or inquire info as well?? I already gave 5 refers so I see no need why they would even contact them and ask detailed questions. I do know they will only tell just little bit of info. But I am wondering if they will then ask me for the actual supervisor contact info? I hope not since I do not and will now use her as a ref or give consent too. If I decline could they force me. I just dont think she is capable of assessing my abilities since its was a very short time

What is the best way to prepare for a job interview where you will meet with several people at the same time asking you a set of questions already prepared? I do not know the questions I just know how it is set up. I have all of the qualifications so how can I stand out and show them I am the one for the job. I really want this job and I do not want to be nervous!!

I'm feeling all nervous about it. I haven't had a new job for 5 years and I can't relax! I'm off this week - finished the old job last week - so i'm spending my time ebaying, cleaning and packing my house up as I'm relocating. How can I stop feeling so nervous?! I know I can do the job but I'm just not good at new starts!

Right then. Back again with more work/career related drama. Please help, kind, insightful answerers...

For the last 7 months I have worked in a sales support/office admin role for an IT for a small company. Directors are lovely, hours good and location great but v boring and very average salary (16K). Some telesales involved (yuck!!). I work entirely alone, and live alone too so I am very isolated.

Offered another job by large local (real) estate agents. Role includes office admin and sales admin, meeting and greeting vendors and sellers and database management. Much less responsiblitly but more money (20K) and work in lively busy office.

Current employer (IT company) accepted my resignation last week but now say they want to match the money (20K +), employ another member of staff to share my workload and keep me company, change role to suit me better and move to a nicer office.
I am SO confused. What would you do?

If i went into a agency, would this be good enough for them to find a suitable (include training) accounts job for me?

I would dearly love to tell them exactly what I think of them, but a high level of professionalism prevents me from doing so. What would you like to tell your employers if you thought there would be no consequences? Don't hold back - I won't tell!!

I hate applying to jobs online...I don't think the company ever looks at my resume..It seems they are ignoring me...I have a very good resume and great potential for working with the company...Why am I not getting any response from these companies...If I do a walk- in at the company and ask them for a paper application they always say apply online...I do that and I keep getting ignored...Do any of you out there ever get any luck with applying for a job online or is it just me???

I keep coming across jobs where you have to pay administration fees to get paid/join/sign up - apparantly to pay for 'admin' and paper work fees.....or you don't get paid until you have secured customers for them....what has the world come to.....i've even come across an 'employer' who tries to evade the issue of pay, and feeds people full of garbage info. about a 'company' that hasn't even been set up or probably doesn't exist......this sounds dodgy.....why are people ripping each other off out there ?!!!!!!!!!

i been at my current clothing retail job now for 6 months, and i'm due my review this week.

the job started out ok, i was full of enthusiasm as it was something i'd never done before and i needed the money. from the outset i struggled to keep an interest in certain aspects of the job, like putting out deliveries, and have always been slow at this. at my 3 month review i disscussed what i thought the problem was and we came to a solution. but i was still slow and they stopped me doing deliveries, so now i just tidy up and serve customers. i have more bad days than good. my motivation and enthusiasm are at all time lows, i dread going to work and have to drag myself there. i havent completed my action plan and i have never really been interested in "the tides of fashion" anyway.
i think they'll terminate my contract as i feel i no longer meet the "all round person" job criteria or should i just resign and get it over with? and should i admit all this at the review?

My final year of uni, after a year of travelling, I feel I need to get a job having spent my student years doing an English degree and amateur theatre. So I choose to do accountancy (seemed like it pays ok) and secure a job with one of the top 4 firms. 2 years on I'm 25, 18 months from qualifying, and thoroughly miserable in a job I'm good at, but which I hate as its completely 'not me'. I feel know value in my work, and dont feel I give anything back in it to the community. I'm itching to get into writing and travel, but my job eats up all my free time, I've got a mortgage, and I dont know how I can afford to quit and look elsewhere. On top of that I'm suffering from pride and dont want to feel like a quitter.

It all sounds thoroughly self indulgent but its eating me up...

Any ideas? I,m sure I'm not the only one in this boat...

My boss really likes me and has asked me out for breakfast and for beers in the past. He has a really bad reputation because he has a tendency to say things without tact. He is several years older than me, married without children and often complains about his wife. He is drop-dead gorgeous and knows it, but he's everyone's definition of a total ---. Strangely, I find that I have a soft spot for him, and when he's asked, I have given him lifts when his wife finished too late to pick him up. Recently, our conversations got too personal and he started flirting a lot. I complained about it and he got upset and gave me a real hard time at work for a while. Now he's re-started! I have a great boyfriend, and yet I find that this horrible boss is always on my mind. I think about him all the time and it's driving me insane, because I think I'm more scared than attracted--he's always staring at me so intensely and it makes me nervous. I feel like Little Red Riding hood. What should I do?

Hi ;

I left a very good job in 2000 after fours years work to get a new career and went into further education for about a year...

In 2003 I went back to work for a not so good company i a not so good position because of the dip in the I.T. market infact people wondered why I was there?

In 2005 I left thinking I would never reahc my goal without leaving and three months later found work in my dream job Project Analyst....

In 2006 Mid way I left becuase this was not my dream role

I then took time out more

and then start of 2007 went self employed as I ran two businesses whilst I still look for more work...This year alot of agencies have been calling for work as a report writer but without data management systems which is what i think i should be doing

I never really got better work than my first job and think actually this is my comfort zone...I want to go back but am worried about the fact I left in the first place and then tried so hard not to go back!!

Help
