I work as a Recruitment Manager looking after a small team and recruiting on my own desk too for a small satellite office. Frustrated at the lack of input or support - about 3 months ago i asked for help. To date, my bosses have not helped at all and often ignore my e-mails or calls. Today both bosses came to visit and said the office is not commercially viable. So, they have given me a choice - walk and the office will be closed. We will all be paid until the end of December. Stay - and I have too sack two people, then they will set targets that I have to meet. these will probably be set far too high to actually achieve - and with the fact that I will now be the only consultant in the office - virtually impossible. If they are not met - they will close the office anyway, but will dismiss and not pay us anything for december. So, I'm backed in a corner - damned if I do, damned if I don't!! Help and advice please?!!!! should I stay or should I go? My boss is calling me tomorrow.

I will be receiving a formal job offer from a company by the end of this week, should I give notice to my current company now or wait until I have said offer in hand? Also, is 10 days enough notice? I want my last day to be a week from Friday, should I just wait until my offer comes?

Do they usually have all your background checks/references back? I only ask because I changed some dates on my resume. They called my references I know that. They called me and said "everything came back" we want to offer you the job contingent on a drug screen. I took the drug screen and was told someone would follow up with me. No one ever has so I don't know what happened. I am not on drugs so it is not that. How long do those tests take to come back?

I have a degree in International Studies (with an emphasis in politics and Spanish) and I have no idea what I want to do with it. I graduated in May and no one wants to hire me, though I live in TX and speak Spanish and graduated at the top of my class from a major university. I'm tired of school and would like to work for a bit, but am not against furthering my education later in the future. The problem remains, however, that even if I choose to further my education with another degree, I have no idea what to study. I have done all kinds of internet research on what positions are out there and still have problems matching my skills and my interests to positions available. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I think if I was an employer I would think more highly of someone who had good negotiation skills and goes after what they want and at least took a chance. What do you think? I will be interviewing for a job in which negotiating advertising rates and packages is my main task (this is what my expected experience is in), if I dont try to negotiate my own pay could that actually make me look less qualified?

I just turned 18, and I'm a jeans-hoodie-and-sneakers kind of dresser, described by many as a "tomboy".

So, I just got a job in a small clinic as a file clerk, and the dress code is "business casual".

How can I conform to the dress standards without being super uncomfortable? A skirt is foreign to me, and wearing slacks makes me feel like I'm 35. I'm also a wuss - I tried wearing "professional" shoes and at the end of the day, my feet were drenched in blood (no joke). I still have trouble walking due to all the cuts and scabs I still have - the shoes were my size.

How can I make "business casual" comfortable for me, and appropiate for my young age? I hate sounding like I'm whining, because I know that's just the way the workforce is, but I'm stumped. LOL.

I want to major in psychology in the University, and I may want to be a doctor.

What I really want to do is;

1. Just like a therapy counselor, hear individual problems and advice, counsel them. But I do not want to be a mere therapy counselor, because it is a low-paying job.

2. I want to be able to prescribe drugs or health food, or at least be able to recommend to people.

What kind of job will I get with majoring the psychology?

Here is the list of what I want from the future job;

1. High-paying salary.

2. Growth possibility. It means, whatever I do, I wish there is a possible way to get promoted or get bigger scale, like moving into much larger space office, dealing with more high-class patients, spreading my reputation, etc.



Is it possible to become both a counselor and physical doctor, that I can prescribe a medicine?

Other than the above, by getting degree on psychology, what else can I become?

Thanks!

If you have applied to a place once before and they come out with another ad a few months later, and you apply to the same place again, do you have a better chance of getting the job since you have already applied?

Would you recommend any tests be taken when considering a career change? I'm 40 and bored and can't see doing my current job for another 20-30 years. I don't mind going back to school, but I don't want to go back without a very good idea of something that matches my interests and personality.

Are there any good tests for career changers? Obviously, the test itself won't really give me an answer, but maybe it will help me narrow down the options into a usable group.

Thanks.

Ok,
So I put in my two week notice this morning and am feeling really great about the feedback. Everyone is very supportive and wished me luck. But now I'm like, "What do I do for 2 weeks.....?" No one really has any more expectations of me and my boss (I feel) is pretty much gonna ignore me till I leave next week. And having been a Supervisor, the employees that know, really don't care to bring their problems to me anymore.

It's weird....So I guess I sit in the back office and act important for 8 hours...

What do you think?
Have you ever been in this situation before?

Thanks for any reassurance....

I've done a few odd and end jobs but basically have been home (SAHM) for 17 years. I have applied for office jobs but now they are all looking for Excel or Word or some other kind of expertise but not the same for all jobs. I feel like I was just thawed from a deep freeze! Any suggestions on how I can become more computer savy to an employer regardless of what programs they work with?

I did have perfect attendance and I was a hard worker, but I got fired for two days in a row no-call-no-show. (I was sick, but i know, i still should have called). My manager fired me the next day I was at work after being sick. How do I smooth things over with her so I can make sure she won't be a negative reference when I am applying for another job?

I mean, if you dress in a suit, and smell fresh, and you put "homeless" on your job application, does it really mean any thing? or should you lie and just put the address of where ever your car is, and your PO box?

It's not like I'm a complete introvert or even have social anxiety - although, in a way I suppose, I do. But I just don't like dealing with people - I hate having to put up the fake smile and pretend to be interested in what people say. I also, for some reason, hate the boss directly giving me projects (face-to-face).

Of course I'll mostly get B.S. answers here (spam, "you should get out" advice, or "no such thing"), but I'm hoping I'll get at least one newsworthy response.

I'm OK with having to deal with some people - just not in a way where I'm forced to smile or talk to many. Some have suggested librarian (because I love reading/books), others have suggested professor (even though I'd have to lecture, much of the time deals with research & many professors I have seemed to hate people anyway).

I'm guessing unless I become a webdesigner or ebayer I probably won't get paid from home. So what jobs have the least amount of contact with people as possible?

I was thinking about something today. My life's dream job is to one day own my own campground. The only problem is, I know this would be something you can't make very much money at, so it seems kind of useless to even consider it. Should I try to consider going for this someday down the road anyhow? I grew up in Boy Scouts just about my whole life, and I always enjoyed being out at camp. There is an old Scout camp nearby me that I always go to and help out with stuff and have the time of my life, even though I'm not being paid for it. There is nothing I'd love more than to have my own campground someday, but is it a worthwhile thing to get into, or is it a bankrupcy waiting to happen?
