I've noticed that some US companies have their offices scattered all around the world. When they want to fill out a position outside US do they give jobs to the people native to that country or is it possible that they will hire an american and let him relocate?

After nearly nine months my boss finally realized I was out of my contract. I didn't say anything because I had spent the time looking for a new job in a different career. As fortune would have it, I am set up for a final interview for a new job, but at the same time my boss and I have agreed on the details of a new contract. I expect the contract will be given to me about a week before the final interview. Should I try to stall signing for a week or two? Should I tell my boss the truth that I'm waiting to hear about another job? Or should I take the bird in the hand and forsake the two in the bush?

Are you putting applications in for government jobs with great benefits?
Are you submitting applications to companies which promote from within?
Are you looking for a job that you would actually enjoy?

I ask because at my job my boss will decided that she needs to promote someone to fill a job and she will ask them. Well I wanted to be promoted a few years ago and I asked her, (no one had ever done that before apparently.) When I asked she said yes and it was a good idea. After a year I asked for another promotion (no monetary raise just a different/better job) and again she said yes, good idea. Up to this point I have been doing good work and working hard. Well I was talking with one of my coworkers the other day about another type of promotion (she wants to learn how to do a better job) and I said she should ask our boss and the coworker flew off the handle saying how rude and disrespectful it was to ask like that (she knew I did that and was saying it to make me feel bad) she said that our boss chooses us and how could anyone ask such a thing. It made me feel like because I asked I didn't earn the promotion like the others. Was I wrong to ask? Did I earn it?

I'd like to become a server once I'm 18 (2 weeks), but almost every place I find requires at least 6 months of experience as a server. What are some restaurants that do NOT require that, that you guys know of? I'm already living on my own (w/ boyfriend) and Circuit City is not paying the bills!! I don't think I'd be able to become a hostess first and then wait to move up either... I really need to start making more than $500 a month. =]

Thank you!

ppl here gossip too much, instead of concentrating on their client, they're more interested on your personal life. who slept with who, who's dating who. no respect for each other, its a dog-eat-dog culture. I have a job offer with E&Y, should I take it ? are all accounting firms like that?

Ok here's the deal..I am in the process of attempting to get a job that I really want...I passed the phone interview process, I passed the initial face to face interview process and was selected to interview at the company's headquarters out of the state I live in. I went to the headquarters and interviewed with two different senior level managers yesterday (Friday). I was under the impression that I would be offered the job before coming home, anyways I am a bit worried now because I wasn't able to really get a good sense of security that I will be given the job. I gave a great couple of interviews and feel that I was solid in selling myself and my abilities. I will have to wait until Monday to see what the verdict will be. Is this somewhat normal for a company to make you sweat it out and for senior managers to be somewhat emotionless so you don't get overly confident or what I do under pressure? Any feedback from anyone who's gone through this?

So I got hired to drive a sales route for a food and beverage company. Basically I deliver and stock the stuff. I like the job so far, but I've trained for 2 weeks and I have 3 more to go. Spending 9 hours a day in a car with a trainer is annoying. The guy is a cool dude, but after a while you run out of things to say. I just wish training was over so I could be free again. The reason I picked a driving career was to get away from co-workers and bosses in the first place. Plus, I always get uptight when I first start a job. Arrrrr. Do you guys hate training as much as I do?

I've been thinking, ever since I left High School over 10 years ago, I did nothing but work in shops. As the years passed, I grew to hate retail work very much & found a new career in cleaning. I'm proud to say that nowadays, I am a much happier & healthier person ever since taking up 2 part-time cleaning jobs as I really enjoy them & earn a heck of a lot more money than I ever did in retail.

So, my own personal experience has led me to ask what I would consider two very important questions.

1: As long as you're happy, healthy & are earning good money, does it REALLY matter what you do for a living?

2: Are too many people too fussy nowadays about their choice of careers?

I used to work as a dental assistant, but now that I'm 40 I don't want to do that type of work anymore. I worked a couple years ago in a manufacturer warehouse assembling electrical lighting ballasts, lights, etc. I was getting paid $13 per hr.
I stopped working there so that I could start my own cleaning company, but I really hated cleaning, and so a year later I applied back at that same lighting manufacturer, but now they hired me and are only paying me $10 per hour.

That is only $2 above minimum wage!!!

They expect hard work for only $10 per hour? I used to have fun jobs when I was young that paid mimimum wage, so how come now I can only find hard working jobs that require skills to only make $2 more than minimum wage?

I live in Washington State, and the cost of living here is outrageous!

Is it because all the Mexicans & Chinese are taking the jobs? Making it an "Employer's Market"? I'm pissed I have good skills but the pay is just above minimum wage!
