Other - Careers & Employment

I have been researching two-year associate's degree programs that would lead to a decently paying and stable career, and have come up with a radiological technology program (x-ray tech) radiation therapist, and sonogram tech.

My question is dicrected a people who do these jobs for a living. I am not crazy about working with people. To be honest I don't like them too much, but most of the jobs I've done in my life involve working with them and no one ever guesses I don't enjoy it (I'm polite, intelligent, professional and pleasant.) I would rather work with animals but none of those jobs pay anywhere near what I need (vet school is not an option.)

My question is, do the careers I mentioned above have a lot of interaction with people, or just the obvious "Hi, come in, sit down, I'm going to x-ray you, OK have a nice day" type of thing?

I realize this is a weird question. PLEASE don't respond by saying I'm terrible and shouldn't be allowed near people. :)

1. Best place to get it on line?

2. Is it something that can be obtained by going to Barnes & Noble, getting some books, reading and studying them and then taking the exam?

3. Are there companies who are willing to sponsor a person to have them obtain their license?

4. Is it different if I want to obtain a residential as opposed to a commercial license?

Any answers will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

I always thought job hopping was a negative, but my husband has a friend who never stays at a job for more than like 3 months. She gets a job and after about 2 months starts looking for a different one. The thing is, new places keep hiring her, so apparently the job hopping is not affecting her negatively. I have jobs I've stayed at for a year and when I have interviews they ask me why I was there such a short time. My husband's friend works places for 3 months at a time and has no trouble moving to something new. Then my husband was like, "her resume must look incredible". But I always thought job hopping was considered a negative thing.

My husband has taken a job in Seattle and we are moving in 2 months from the Midwest. I am currently a school counselor at a large school and looking for a job. Any websites that are helpful? The cost of houses are unbelievable. We have pets so renting is not an option, or is it? Any suggestions? Are banks a bit more flexible since the cost of housing is so high? Do educators earn higher salaries? We currently own a huge home here but paid 1/3 of what it would cost in Seattle area. Not sure how people afford to live out there. Would appreciate any information.

So I really need to get second a job after Christmas to make some money to pay off (what else) annoying bills. I would like to work at Macy's or some clothing retail store (like Express or Pac Sun)...I'm a guy btw...how hard is it to get hired at these kinds of stores? Are most hiring or is it unlikely? Also, do you usually apply online or at the store?

Ok, earlier this year I failed my third attempt at college and in the process I lost my financial aid and I'm on academic suspension. The truth be told that I really didn't know what I wanted to do and I was also lazy and heavily depressed. Things have changed now and I know now that I want to be a Journalist. Do I need college? If so, then what should I do or should I give up? If not, then is there another way?

I worked as a temp for a company until they hired me on as a perm, however, they still treat me like I'm a temp. Should I start looking for another job before they lay me off?

I have applied for two other positions in my company (in a different department). Do I need to tell my manager at this point? Both of these positions are more aligned with my interests and background than my current position and considered a promotion. These types of positions are rarely available in my company, so I thought I should give it a shot. I'd prefer to wait until I at least secure an interview. Any thoughts?

I need all the tips I can get! If you've got names for headhunters in Italy.. direct contacts.. I've sent my email to newspapers there but as usual no response. I hate sending emails to info@... addresses! They usually go to the recycle bins!
I know I can do translation, teach English or Arabic and of course write. I'm sure being trilingual is an asset to someone out there! Help me make my dream come true!

I'm wanting to become a manager at Chili's and hopefully climb the ladder. This next year I will be completing a Bachelors of Business Admin in Management, then completing my MIT training program at Chili's.

Is the restaurant industry a good field to get into, or is it drone work like Retail (Used to be a sales manager at Blockbuster and hated it).

Would completing an associates of applied arts in Culinary be a good move?

Help!!!

I am tired of being rejected by hiring mangers. They think they are superior because they have a job. They like to belittle vulnerable applicants. They are just little worms who had a little luck. So, big deal they have a job. Maybe next time they reject me, I will offer to feed them a knuckle sandwich. I will make those worms so frightened that they will make me a job offer.

I am sending a resume and a cover letter via email first time in my life. But, I have three questions to ask....
Could somebody help me out?

1. Should I attach a cover letter as a word document, or should it be a body of the email?
2. If I should send the cover letter as a word document, what should I write on the body of email?
2. What is the appropriate title of this email?

Thanks!!

do you think online applications are fair? i mean i guess applicants don't really have a say in the matter, but they seem to make my life alot harder. a few years ago when i filled out paper applications, i actually heard back from people. by applying online, you don't know that it's actually being recived by anyone. with all the silly tests, it can take an hour per application without the promise of so much as a phone call, and your denied the chance to make a good impression. i remember how i got all of my previous jobs, being a friendly 19 yearold girl...i would just go in, smile, speak enough to show i'm approchable and well spoken and somtimes that was enough for the person to say "well...come on back and i'll interview you". these days...i send out a dozen online apps and just don't hear back. thats like 12 hours worth of time that i will never get back. is anyone else pisssed by this? anyone else think online apps are making it harder to find work?

I'm getting married in June so we are going to take a mini-honeymoon to north of us. Then in the winter we are going to go some where warm! (we live in wisconsin)

I just started a job this past July and earn ONE vacation day a month. I have 3 so far, by June I should have about 9. Not enough.

In July, my fiance's family takes a trip to canada for 10 days, which I would LOVE to go of course because we'll be newly weds.

Can I ask at work if theres unpaid time I can have?

Does anyone have any knowledge about how that works? I LOVE my job and plan on staying there forever and they are so easy going with changing times I work, but I'm full-time so as long as each week I get 37.5-40 hours they don't care.

I was THINKING maybe I would go part time and then my vacation days would be covered but I'm not sure thats an wise option

How much time is your job giving you unpaid?

I guess also any tips how to go about (asking HR or my manager) this would be great!

Most specifically, that involve being on boats. I'm not really looking for something that's science related, more like cargo, or shipping or something. Hell, anything'll do....but I'd prefer the latter. Thanks in advance. Oh, and please don't say pirate. I'm looking for something modern. Thanks. ^_^

I'm considering truck driving as a change in careers but as a beginner, do you need to do the long hauls or will local companies hire you? And for long hauls, how long are you away from home, how many hours can you drive in a day, can you take breaks as you need to, how long are you at home before your next trip, etc? Anyone who can give me some details on a trucking career is an angel and the information would be so appreciated. Except for a few speeding tickets which I got deferred, I have a clean driving record.

If you read my previous question, this will make more sense. I want to open my own day care when I get older.

Anyway, when I turn 16 this following summer, I could get a job, or I could babysit kids. What do you think I should do? I would enjoy the babysitting, but isn't work supposed to be "work" I would consider babysitting as..FUN. I don't know what I should do. Any ideas?? I really need some HELPFUL ideas.
Thanks so much. I don't want this question to be a waste of 5 points. I don't know if I should babysit, (I don't have anyone yet) or work at a movie theater or something..
