Currently I work as a Graphic Designer in Tucson, AZ. the job market here for my line of work isn't great and the pay at my current place of employment also isn't great. I'm looking to move out to the east coast in hopes of getting a job there and also being close to family. My problem is with the resumes I am sending out to companies out there I get no response, while if I send the same resume to jobs in my area I get plenty of response. Is it due to my location? should I move first then look for a job? Any advice in finding a job when out of state or even convincing someone to interview you even though you're not currently in state?

I left my job in Sept. 06 and would like to put something on my resume that would be appropriate so I don't have a big gap. Maybe something like Individual consultant, I haven't been employed but have done some computer work for a few people.

I'm an 18 year old male with light brown hair. My hair is currently a medium length (it's not short, nor long like a girls hair). It goes down to about the bottom of my ears and flails up around the edges all the way around. I have two job interviews coming up in a week for a retail sales associate and a key holder's position. These will be my first jobs interviews and I was thinking of ways to possibly have a better chance of getting the job. Then, it struck me. Should I get my hair cut for the interview or leave it as it is and cut it if they request it?

ive had to take off a lot of days for my 18 month daughter because she has asthma and bad allergies. There are many on top of many dr appts and just plain her being sick days. So Ive only had 3 days this year where I was sick 2-1/2 of which I was hospitalized and have Dr. excuse notes. And Ive had to use my vacation days to cover baby's dr appts and times she was sick. Now I am completely out of sick and vacation days. I know my employer is going to use this as ammunition against me so that they wont have to give me my annual raise. Is there anything I legally to cover myself in this situation and make my attendance look better?

Yesterday she pulled me into her office to accuse me of stealing food (and the day before that I was written up because my hair was still wet and the day before that for not wearing hose--I work in a cublcle typing all day, I do not deal with customers, etc) and today she comes to me and says so how are you TODAY (all caps because thats what she emphasized) to which I said I am just fine TODAY (emphasizing same word) to which she said I need to see you in my office NOW. In her office she stood so close to me I could see her mascara clumps and told me that if my attitude continued she was going to write me up, that it was unprofessional and subordinate. Then she turned her back to me, opend the door and said end of conversation--and raised her eyebrow, waiting. Didn't trust myself to say anything so I nodded, to which she said, a nod isnt going to do it, saying I understand would be appropriate. So I growled I understand and as I walk back to my desk she says "Thats all i ask (with

I have been giving them a number and I hope it's not too high for the market. I wanted to go a little high since I really got screwed on my last job. Some people at my old job were making $5 an hour more than me and I know I was more skilled and qualified. I don't want to make the same mistake again, but I also hope that I'm not so high that I don't get a call for an interview.

Im a 19yr girl from Australia and am currently studying law at a really top university. I worked really hard to get to where I am and enjoy my course, although it is quite hard and requires a lot of work.

Recently I was approached by a modelling agent and after doing a few test shots and castings they offered to sign me! The only problem is that if I do sign with them I am obligated to go overseas for shows etc and have been told that I would not be able to continue with uni (at least in the short-term future). What should I pick?? Im really confused because I dont want to throw away all my hard work but the prospect of modelling is very exciting. PLEASE help!!!!

I am an accounting major, but I hate it. My parents forced me to major in accounting. I am not going to change major now, because I will be graduating soon.

However, I just don't see myself getting up every morning, doing accounting for 10 hours each day. I like animals, I want to work at a Pet shop, or groom dogs or something. Or maybe do something that has to do with sports, or maybe work at a casino. That would make me happier. However, then I won't be able to make enough money to move out and will be a loser and live with my parents forever....

Please give me some advise.

I don't like those vehicles and don't know if I could work selling them if I don't like them. Know what I mean? I'd rather sell the types of cars I like. Should I go work there, learn, get experience, then go work for dealer of cars I like? Feel free to elaborate.
