Other - Careers & Employment

Hi, I'm currently a waitress, been one for about a month. I've worked various other jobs and really miss them partly because the people I did work with pulled their weight did their work. I have enough college hours to substitute teach, however I do not like kids that well. On the flip side, my waitressing job, ironically the smell of food cooking in large quantities(a restauant or fast food), makes me gag. I really was in a bind and needed the money. Right now I'm still going to college and fixing to go online for my Bachelors so I can have a full time job. So if you were me, would you stick with the waitressing(btw pay = 6.50 an hour, I work 15 hours, and we split our tips, we average about $17 a night). Substitute around here($55-75 a day).

I just started at Old Navy and I was wondering about the employee discount...do you get your discount off the sale prices, or do you have to choose? I used to work at a store where you either had to take the sale price and no discount, or take the discount off the full price.

Or, is it best to keep doing what you are doing until you simply can't do it anymore?

I have a number of things that I would love to do, but my overdeveloped sense of responsibility says that it would be foolish and financially disastrous.

Any thoughts on what I should do, who I should talk to, agencies, "life coach", ways to evaluate whether one path would be better than another? Have you done anything like this and succeed? Advice?

I want a career in the animal care/conservation field but I don't know where to start. Most of the jobs available for people of my experience have nothing to do with animals. I am already volunteering at my local nature reserve, attending talks and guided walks on wildlife, and studying a course in animal behaviour. What's a good first job for getting my foot in the door in the wildlife field?

I'm asking this question partly because I'm curious and partly because I could use some input. I'm now job hunting and I get overwhelmed at the prospect of writing cover letters and resumes for the various positions for which I'm applying. After all, it's best to write a cover letter and resume that's individually tailored for a particular position you're seeking. (In other words, one size doesn't fit all.) I know that in order to improve my chances of landing a good job, I'm going to have to apply for LOTS of different positions, so I imagine that a lot of my time is going to be taken up by writing resumes and cover letters. And not only is my time going to be taken up by writing, but it's going to taken up by brainstorming, as well! Does it really have to be so overwhelming?

I worked for a company 2 years ago, and left on very good terms. My boss said if I ever wanted to come back I could. Well, now I need to. I am very open to relocating where I am most needed (this is an international company). Should I ask for relocation expenses to be paid, even though I am the one that originally left?

NOTE: I will not be returning to the place where I was when I worked there before.

Would that be unfair of me? Should I just wait and see if they offer, then if they don't, ask for it? Otherwise, it will be nearly impossible for me to move my family as we are stretched WAYYYY too thin as it is. (I know this is not company's fault...but they regularly pay for others' relocations.)

Thanks!

I am a department head where I work. I have been offered a different position with the same company, more money and an upgrade into a pre-management position. ALSO much more stress, I will be in charge of about 10 people under me. It is the only way to go if I want to be in assistant manager line. I do, it is more money and I am not worried about being capable. It is just a huge change from being in my own department running how I want and knowing I do a good job there. It will mean a lot more stress in my life, however. I have already had one heart attack, totally related to stress. However, I have worked a 7 day week for 3 years and still can't meet my bills and avoiding creditors is definitely stressful. What do you think?????

My manager was furious with me when I handed her my polite resignation letter. She was aware of my job application to another company, and I had asked her permission prior to putting her name forward as a referee(which she agreed to do). Her anger was directed towards the fact that some of my colleagues were aware of my interview success before her. However, I made an appointment to see her on the same day that I received my formal job offer, so feel I could not have acted any quicker. She would not take my letter from me, and did not acknowledge my hard work over previous 4 years. Am I right to feel aggrieved, or should I let this go? I'm considering contacting the Human Resources dept to complain about her behaviour, but do not want to act 'over the top'. Any advice please? Thankyou.

I've had several abusive bosses over the years, and I often wonder if they actually think that they're improving either their own situation or that of their employees by being verbally abusive. After all, their behavior does anything but engender respect from their employees or promote a positive work atmosphere. One would think that they would realize they're doing something wrong if they have employees who walk out on them out of the blue. Plus, one would also think that they would realize that a positive work atmosphere promotes greater productivity.

Not too long ago, I read in a book about resume writing that it's not necessary to put down EVERY job you've ever had on your resume, especially if it doesn't pertain to the position you're seeking. However, if that's the case, does that also mean that I can omit certain jobs from my work history on a job application?
