I just go offered a job that pays about $2.50 more than what I make now. & I get a nice work space and a desk and a lot of perks. (so I'm told) But here's the problem, I've been working at my current job for a year and a half & I just got promoted to Manager at and I feel that I shouldnt just leave this company cuz a good rep is hard to get and a easy to lose! And this town is so small and everyone knows everybody! Population 2000! I figured I gonna stay here at least 2 years to get more experiene as a manager and then seek better employment so I could have a fighting chance! So the question still remains what do you think you would do in this situation?

I have about an hour and a half left from work and there isn't anything to do. My supervisor isn't around and one of my superiors told me to just go home. But I still don't want to because these people might still need my help.

Just had a job interview and I like to send in a thank you letter. Should it be a blank thank you card personalized and hand written or just a plain letter typed and thanking the hiring team?

Sadly I only remember the HR lady's name but during the interview process of 3 people, I remember one, sort of remember the other but completely forgot the third and no, they didn't offer me their business card :(

Should I just adress the thank you card/letter to the "hiring team" ?

Thank you, your advice is much appreciated!

I see people in both my jobs coming in jeans sandals and expect to get the job. One argument is well they don’t have nicer clothes but you need them if you get the job to come to work. You don’t get a paycheck then go shopping before work. Another is they should take me on my qualifications. Bull you need to dress like everyone in the company sry to say but appearance matter as do first impressions. So what could be another excuse for looking like a slob at an interview

I worked at a company for two months and then left. Within these two months, I was never trained or learned anything I was suppose to do. This is was one of the top reasons why I left. I felt I was told something else to accept the job, and through the grapevine, I find out the position I took has a high rotational right. So basically I sat around for two months while waiting for someone to be trained.

Should I list this job on my resume because actually I didnt do anything the job entailed. I feel like if I do I might get alot of questions because of the timeframe, and if I dont list it, I feel like it might pop up later.

Help!!!

I graduated university almost 2 years ago, and have been working at crappy, boring (oh so boring) jobs since then. I now know what I want to do - (be a professional writer - not necessarily creative, but I want to work with words for sure), but REALLY am not ready to go back to being a starving student (especially now that I am getting older and am liking having real paychecks!).

So what would you do? Go back to school and suck it up for a chance at career-happiness? Or suck it up at jobs I can't stand and slowly find my way in the writing world unguided?

p.s. I live with my fiancee and we'll likely be getting married soon. He doesn't make enough to support us both.

thanks!

I was offered a promotion and raise within my company, however if I would take this job it is a longer drive that puts me driving right through downtown and I wouldn't have weekends off anymore... What are your opinions of what I should do?

it asks,"list 2 persons not related to you, whom you have known and worked with at least one year." well, I haven't had a job for a year(i'm a teenager). who should i list? nobody at my old jobs would probably even remember me, much less able to give recommendation.

I've wanted to be an airline pilot for as long as I can remember. However I've been working in IT for the last 3 years and am only now ready to commit all the money to training and then hopefully get a job. I have a private pilots license so I know I enjoy flying. I think I will enjoy being an airline pilot, but how do I know? I've spoken to others about it and from what I've heard, I will love it... but I do not want to change career and spend all this money only to end up in a job which I do not like or is not what I thought it would be. Any advice?

Ofcourse, a good boss and a good job will make perfect match. But, if you couldnt get both- all other things being equal- which one would you prfer: A great job where you might question your boss's values, or a so-so job where you got to work for a person with integrity?

I've been unemployed for a little over a month now and have sent several resumes to various potential employers online, but all I ever get back are sales job leads some of which I'm sure are bogus. Is monster.com, careerbuilders.com, hotjobs.com etc for real?

Everytime we go on a company retreat or off-site training session, our company insists we share a room with another employee (same sex). Since we are a nationwide company almost always it's someone we have never met before. I understand the costs issue, but I'm just really beyond the "sleepover" situation. Last conference, a bunch of employees got drunk and their roomates got to spend all night dealing with them getting sick. Others had horrible snorers in their rooms. Do you think that a company should make employees share a room?

It's my first job ever and I'm 16. The McDonald's is in a mall. I try my best to be fast but it takes me time to get everything accurately and there's always a big lineup in my line. My manager said they're not trying to compare me with another girl who is new like me but he did. He kept comparing me. She's like perfect, she does make mistakes but not as much as me. During our training, she kept asking soooo much questions that I never even got a chance to ask my questions. As soon as I wanted to speak up, she kept intrupting with her questions. I know I give that as an excuse to my manager. I dont want to loose this job because it's my first job ever and so I wont be able to get a reference for my other job cuz they'll say bad stuff about me. What do you think I can do to speed up but yet be accurate and keep my cool under stress? I dont really care if I loose this job, but that doesn't mean i will stop trying and not improve, I just feel I'm not ready for this kind of thing...
