I graduated from college with majors in Wildlife Management and Biology a year and a half ago. Since then, I've worked at crap jobs and had one seasonal wildlife job. Frankly, I'm sick of looking for jobs every few months. I now realize this comes with the territory and I'm thinking I want out. Any suggestions for a new career?

Do you have a job that you love? What is it? WHAT SHOULD I DO???!!

I'm a receptionist and a client keeps calling in and saying creepy things to me like,
I know where you live.
I Love You.
I'm going to come to your house with glass cutters and cut a hole in your window and sing to you.
He's also invited me to come to his house & boat & vacations with him.
I never go along with these creepy things he says. Several times I've told him "That's Weird" or "Your Creepy". What can I do or say to stop this guy from saying creepy things to me.

Basically, a work colleague in our office is planning to buy a new car. Fine. BUT, every time I ask him what car he's getting I get the same reply; he just says either 'handbook' or 'owners manual' and walks off with a 'knowing smile' !! ??
This seems quite odd.

Want to know if it's worth applying for a job as a valet.

I'm 17, have 0 points on a liscense but a speeding ticket, failure to present registration ticket, and another ticket for being parked on the side of the road and 'creating hazard'. I have completed a defensive driving class, and I also have a full motorcycle liscense. I regularly drive a stick-shift car, and have been for about a year and a half, in addition to passing my driving exam on a manual trans. One of my good friends works as a valet, and he is 17 as well, so if there is any rule about being 18 to be a valet, it must be easy to get around. There are plenty of places to valet around where I live, and I wouldn't necessarily want to work with him. My car is a Dodge Ram truck, so I am pretty good at parking because most cars seem very small compared to what I have to park.

Basically, will the tickets affect getting a job as a valet? Any particular things I could do to make employers 'look around' this?

I am going to be graduating in Feruary of 08 with my Bachlors degree. Most of the jobs that I would like to apply for require a Bachlors degree.
My question is do you think that I should apply for those positions now, or should I wait till I have my degree?

I'm looking to get a part-time job at a Pharmacy. This would be my first one.

I've got the application filled out and ready. I'm gonna go in and ask for the manager, and hand him the application. How should I do this?

What I was thinking:
I go in, see the manager.
I introduce myself, give him a firm handshake while looking him in the eyes. Then I tell him I'm looking for employment here and then hand him the application.

Is this good? What more should I do? Should I tell him anything else??

Please help. Thanks!

I just found a young man in my company who is very good at having ideas to improve almost anything in the company, from how to make people welcome, to how to improve the financial records, to suggest programs that would improve our performance as company. Currently he is a trainer, and spends the week training employees, he´s quite a speaker. But definetively he´s very good at innovating and generating ideas for everything. I would like to relocate him in a position where he is in charge of generating more and more ideas, Do you know similar jobs? How would you call this position?

I am getting endless job rejections, day in and day out. It is really demoralising me sending my CV everywhere and getting knocked back. Is this sort of mass rejection happening to everybody else? How can I keep my spirits up when I just feel so depressed and angry?

A lady at work told everyone she has 5 years experience in an accounting firm, yet she seems to be rather lost when preparing or explaning basic trial balance - and not comprehending basic practical tax questions.

I know it is none of my business (I am not reporting to her, she is not reporting to me), but I'm such a sticky nose, and it is burning inside me - what is the best way to ask her, whether she has glossed up her resume or not?

She doesn't do any "dirty work"; having 5 y exp, she comes as a supervisor, supervising other junior/senior staff in doing their work.

No I won't talk about her behind her back at work... I only do it here where noone knows who she is :-P

I've been a bank teller for 3 months and just recently started feeling like I know what I'm doing. These past 3 months I've felt like quitting because I was always asking lots of questions but today something just "clicked" and I really felt confident and like I've really caught on.

Is this common? I've felt like such an idiot for the past 3 months. Is it normal to take 3 months to really "catch on" or am I just "slow"?
