im trying to find a job but the ones ive applied for need me to be there and i have a 2 yr old son to take care of. i had a good job before even while he was younger but i really didnt have a dependable babysitter. i felt bad going to work and she would back out while i was there or she would back out right before id leave the door to take him there or she would not even be home when i do get there! i was thinking of doing babysitting services or trying to find something on-line, like a
transcriptionist or something!

everyone's saying that elementary school teachers make nothing and I'm a smart girl and I should go into some better....

I personally really would love working with kids and teaching them new things. I've worked at daycare before and done a LOT of babysitting. I love it. But it's true. There's not that much money here. I was thinking of opening up the best daycare ever... with really good programs and very healthy food.

Do you think I should go for it? (of course, I will do all the research and get licenced). I'm 20 years old by the way and sick of studying university math... I hate it! What was I thinking...

I need to find a job, very soon. I feel like I dont know how to prepare myself though, so it makes me really nervous. When I ask for applications, and when I turn them in, there is usually a lot of people there buying things, does it look bad to wait in line to speak to them? There is a store that I really want a job at, but I havent gotten a call back yet. I turned in the application last tuesday, so I was thinking about going up there and asking about it, is it too late for that? And if there is a lot of people there in line, should I wait in line to speak to the person behind the counter?

I've been assigned a huge project at work that's going to take a lot of time and effort on my part; and I feel like, if making what I'm making now, I'll be under-compensated. I was just wondering if $1.12 an hour is too big of a raise to ask for. I don't want to look like an idiot when I talk to my boss about it.

Seriously I think a job claiming to know the public concensus and stating it loudly would be perfect for me.
How do I go about it?

Should I call? If so when and what should I ask or say?

The interview was on Oct. 17 and the last round of interviews was conducted on Oct. 22. They mentioned 2 weeks from Oct. 17 which would have been yesterday.

I am going on an interview tomorrow and somewhat unsure on how I should present myself.

Should I show them how smart I am or will that just turn them off? I have a passion for what I do but fear to show it for they might think that I am just trying to show them off.

Should I act slow and weak, letting them feel that I am trainable and willing to learn? The obvious answer is somewhere in the middle but where and how?

Don't know much about how to sell my self, so please help me out. How should I present myself?

I was just looking around on my company's shared drive and I noticed an excel salary sheet. Being a nosey person, I opened it. The thing I noticed was that I'm getting paid as much as the boss's son. This wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that I'm a degreed engineer working as the lead consultant on multiple projects and he was hired to do administrative and computer assistance work. This seems wrong to me. I know I've been underpaid for a while now, but this really brought it to my attention. I also know I probably should not have opened that file. Should I ask for a pay raise? Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I am in my 40s and have never had a sense of exactly what I'd like to do for a living. I don't like what I do now, but it's what I do and it pays the bills, so I do it. I know I'm not alone in feeling this way and wonder what others think about being in this situation.

I keep looking for a free source of information on defense contractors. Almost everything out there either costs to join, has out-dated lists or you have to go to multiple sites to get a little bit of information. I'd like to use my decades of military experience to make a decent living. Almost everything I've found from the Transition Assistance Program classes is useless. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I am trying to find out why it is that housing is so expensive if salaries are not that high. Maybe I'm in the wrong field. If you ask people face to face how much they make, they usually lie.
So,
What do you do?
How much do you make per year?
How long have you been working in this particular job?
Thanks.

I applied to a job that is 2 hours away from where I live and commuting everyday would kill me. I was telling my wife I really need this job because it is a step up from what I am doing and I would be working with the same company. I dont want her to move and leave her job so I suggested I could live in my car for six months just so I could get the training and be able to get a good job when we move out of state next year. She thinks Im crazy but there is no way I can afford to pay for a hotel or a place to live. My work place has a gym, a cafeteria, and showers. I have a sports utility vehicle with enough room to lay out a mattress. I could work, work out at the gym, shower, have dinner, study the new material at the restaurant, brush my teeth, then go to sleep. In the morning I could shower and go to work. I could go home on Friday in the afternoon and go back to work Monday morning. What do you think?

I'm not talking about jobs that are great in pay and you have to be skilled at something to do it. I'm talking about small minumum wage or maybe a little above, no expierence required, anybody should be able to get jobs. I know too many people that have trouble even getting jobs at fast food resturants let alone any other parttime or fulltime customer service job. It's not that their under or over qualified. Or have bad criminal backgrounds. Or have mental or physical disabilties that hold them back. They keep searching for just a job that can put money in the pocket, they appliy at every place that's hiring and nobody hires them. These shouldn't be places that have high standard or qualifications. So what is it that people do wrong that ruins there chances for a job? I just don't understand it sometimes. Is it the way they look or act? Is it something they do on the interview? What could it be?

the standards that people employ in their working life have gone down and there is so much money-grubbing and constant demand for more, more, more for doing less. I'm not saying that work life should be on a volunteer basis, but what is it with the over-valuation of effort people put into their jobs/career?
