Do you have a job that at any point in the day you could just stand up and yell "I LOOOOOVE MY JOB"? Or is there a certain profession that you would love to do or that you know someone that loves to do it? If so, what is it and why do you love it so much? If you don't want to give an explanation and want to just tell me your job, that's fine to. I'm just asking your job, not a specific location, name, employer, etc.

I worked at a big college with several campuses for about 8 months and had a disagreement with the college curriculum. I got some low-level administrators annoyed with me since they didn't like an upstart giving an opinion and also maybe to cover their unimaginative butts. Then they started to do things to undermine me. When I quit, they all said they were shocked and almost begged me to stay. The college just hired a new President a couple of weeks ago. He gave an introductory speech (which I read) to the college community. He described his 'vision' for the school and it was EXACTLY what I had been recommending. I'm thinking of calling the President's secretary and requesting a meeting, then tell him I'd be great for the place, and take it from there. What do you think? If I do it, how can I discuss the circumstances of my leaving?

I went on an interview, and was asked why I was leaving my present job. I said to advance any further I would have to move out of state and I do not want to take my kids out of school. The lady interviewing me then I hope you have someone to watch your kids.

I don't believe she can ask me that, but I am not sure since I brung up the fact that I have kids. I wanted to know if that was inappropriate for her to say

I have heard differing opinions about this but I didnt think you had to but a couple recruiters have told me that you are going to have to give it up at some point. I feel like you might be cheating yourself if you are actually honest enough and give your CORRECT salary, the company might try to lowball you. At least this is a situation I found myself in around 6 months ago.

any thoughts on this?

biggest weakness is, what would you answer? This is a two-parter.....would answering "I tend to trust people too much" be a bad or good answer? What would YOU say if asked this.

I'm going to a job fair in town, should I bring copies of my resume? Is a long sleeve collared shirt too formal? Also, I am well groomed but I have a goatee. I shaved my sideburns for the purpose of appearance, but what about the rest? Do potential employers look down on facial hair?

My coworker is retiring in December. The thing is , since she is retiring, I will be out of a job as well.
Anyways, I was offered a job that pays $4 an hour more than what Im making now. I would love to quit my current job and take the new one, but I feel guilty about leaving my co-worker to look for a replacement for me 2 months before she is ready to retire. Should I feel guilty...and what should I say. Thanks !

I thought the 3rd would be the one...but im working in the most boring, non engineering part of the plant and i want to quit! I think i would be stuck in the position for a few years. what would you do?

I had a interviiew for a great IT job with the state dept and all went well and the only salary that was discussed was they said they were pretty sure they could give me more than I am making now. Well today the HR dept called today to schedule the criminal background and drug test, the funny part is a set salary and other things haven't been discussed, do you think this will be discussed durring this time or do you think that HR already thinks that my manager has already went over these things?

I've just started a new job , this is my second week, its a huge step up from where i was and i really don't want to lose it, it seems to me that one of there lead guys has it in for me and wants to see me fail. he acts like he is all for me being there but i know i am taking the position HE wants. he creates impossible situations so that i will fail, like telling me to have certain things taken care of by a certain time but neglecting to mention certain details that i need to complete the job. so things wind up not being done and he trys to say he told me everything when in fact he didnt.he is supposed to be training me for the position and as far as the owner of the company knows that's what is happening but he isn't. he leaves me out of the loop on everything so that when the owner of the company comes around and asks me simple questions about one thing or another all i can say is i don't know. this guy has been working there for years and i don't know what the owner thinks of him

I'm applying at this local clothing store and this would be my first job ever.I currently have an application in hand and it's asking me to list previous work experience as well as list 3 references. Do you think I can get by in the application without having to list any references or previous work experience since I have none whatsoever. Are those things necessary to get hired if it's your first job?

Just curious. I've been unemployed/underemployed for two years. I have a long, diverse, steady work background ranging from general labor/factory experience to various office positions (clerical, proofreading, order entry/customer, etc.); I've also got really good references from former co-workers and bosess, although I kind of left my last "real" employer on bad terms (about the time my appearance issue "developed" come to think of it. I thought maybe I needed to learn new job skills or hone up on my interview skills since I'm in my late-thirties, so I returned to school to pursue a new career path; I breezed through the year-long program with a 4.0 gpa and was assured by the instructors my work skills, interview skills, etc. were very good. I've been on so many interviews where I'm qualified or over-qualified for the job and cannot seem to land anything.
By the way, the ailment I'm talking about is a benign skin condition on the side and back of my scalp that appears inflammed.

I just got back from a job interview. After the interview process they sent me for a drug test. On the paper work it stated the reason for the drug test was "post job offer"
When this was done the interviewer stated that the job was contingent with the drug test and the criminal background check results. Does this mean that the job is mine if these tests come back normal?
