I'll begin by giving a little background on myself. I'm 18 and currently attending a community college with plans of transferring to UC Santa Barbara next year to work on a B.A. in Communications. I have a strong, deep, clear voice and have performed in my high school musicals/plays. I gained a lot of praise about my voice and that heeded me in the direction I'm headed now, which is communications.


However, I'm not sure where my best bets are. I've been told that with my voice I would do great on the radio, acting/TV, or singing. All of which I know are very competitive. I've also heard that the communication degree is one of the easiest to get. So, should I limit myself to just a communication degree? Or would it be wise to double major in Com and perhaps Drama so that I gain acting skills in case I do land a job on camera? Also, what other kinds of careers would be good for someone like me?

Someone told me that before I decide to move to another state I had best secure a job there before I move. Is this possible? Can you interview for a job before you meet the people you'll be working for in person? If so, are there any specific sites I can look at that list employers who do online interviews? Or do I have this scenario wrong and you cannot secure yourself a job in another state until you are actually there (because I'm not talking about just an application but a real interview)?

Sorry if this is loaded. Thank you!

How can I get a job? I am 32 and in college to get a B.A. I have never really worked before because I mooched off my parents, but after I get my B.A. in about a year I'm going to need to work, so I was wondering how could I start working without having any work experience? Any help would be great, thanks.

How should I inquire about employment at a large company by doing a cold calling visit? (A physical visit) What should I say to the receptionist so that she would let me talk to a hiring manager? Or who should I ask for? I’m worried that they would simply tell me to go home and check the openings online. I heard that hiring managers a lot of times don’t look at resumes sent through online job portals, and the only way for hire is to have a contact in the company. I don’t know anyone, so the point of my cold visit to talk to people there. They would all be busy, so how can I get to talk to them? And what should I discuss with them? Job duties descriptions are sometimes abstract, without appearing incompetent, how do I ask about the exact functions? If I don’t know which position to apply for, how can I discuss my possibilities there? What time and day of wk would give me higher chance of success in doing the cold visit? I would like to apply for a salaried position in management. Thx.

I've been to several interviews now and the employer always says that I will receive a phonecall. Are they testing my patience or what?! Does anyone ever get hired on the spot? Or are they trying to reject me but don't know what to say? I am soooo frustrated!!

I had applied for a position a month-and-a-half ago, had discussed a plan with my managers, and was assured of this position, after one month of training. However, my official job title is not what i applied for; It is supposed to be a temporary position. Recently, I was informed that the position that i want, applied for, and discussed with my managers was internally available through the company (unknownst to me; I believe my managers should have informed me), and the position had been filled, by someone else. Now, I feel I have lost the opportunity for this position for at least a year, and i'm not willing to stay with the company that long, because the position I want pays twice as much as I am currently making. So, I am trying my options to aquire this position. I would really appreciate any response, for or against, and any suggestions.

I applied for a district management position for a Agriculture/Nursery company. They called me in for a interview, and they read my Resume beforehand. They knew I did not have a BA in Agri- business, and that I had only an AA in Agriculture and 2 CP's in Nursery Operations+Landscape matience.

Once I drive the 45 minutes to be interviewed I wait for over 30 minutes to be seen. The Lady takes to me her office, and the questions begin. She starts telling me i'm not qualified for the position because I do not have a BA in Agriculture or Business. Then pretty much suggests I could take a lower paying position that I was not interested in the least bit. She was quite rude, and I was really pissed off.

I tell her that I'm simply not interested, and furthermore I'm very upset that she even called me if she was not interested in considering me for that position.Let me make it clear that she knew my background before coming into her office. She called me personally and asked my background

University people think that all students who enter and graduate will be great and ready for great jobs. But its not the case speciallly for shy, reserved super quiet people. I managed to graduate but i never did talk. i'm not good at speaking and i've never had social skills .

So now 4 years after graduation i'm just with a temporary 12 dollar an hour job, . . . i may be smart but that means crap in america. Maybe in other countries you can get by with just smart but here...if you're not outgoing and cheerful you're nothing to companies.

im a shy quiet guy and i will not change.
But as evidenced by my current job, i do more work than many of these talkatives who just slack off and dont do work. isn't worrk ethic, rather than outgoing personality, more important?

Then the jobs that dont require outgoing personatliy, pay so little. how can you live?

I am a boy and I am 13 years old in 8th grade. I really am trying to start buying stuff. The problem is, I am not allowed any help buying stuff. I pay for pretty much all my stuff. I really want a macbook laptop but do not have 1,000 dollars. I want a job that I am allowed to do for extra money. The thing is...is I live in an apartment and my town doesn't have paper boys. I want a job which I can make maybe 800 dollars in about half a year. I don't know any jobs I can though. If anyone has job ideas that would be great. also, if you say like babysitting or dog walking, tell me how to let people know about me. please be nice. thank you!

I am leaving my job at the end of December, thankfully, but I would like advice on how to deal with my boss until then. He is a nice enough guy, but very lonely, and tends to take any expression of politeness as a cue that the person denoting it wants to shag him. How do I continue being polite to him while making it clear that the only thoughts of shagging in my head are related to my boyfriend, and this after office hours.

I had an interview on thursday. The interviewer and I hit it off pretty well. The interviwer did not ask a lot of challenging questions, and when he did, I was able to answer them with great detail.

During the interview process, he told me about the benefits and introduced me to "the people that you will be working with". He used the term "what you will be doing is...". I was also asked what I hoped to accomplish in the first 30 days of my employment. I have a follow-up interview the owner of the company early next week. The interviewer encouraged me to email him any questions that I might have about the position.

I know that all that seems encouraging, but I would like a second opinion.
