Other - Careers & Employment

I am unemployed and I am looking for work. I have applied for jobs but the only thing employers tell me is they don't have openings just yet. I have been told if you want to get hired, you have to keep going almost everyday of the week until you wear the employers down to the point they go ahead and give you the job. I hate to be a pest and bother people after they already told me they don't have openings at the moment and to be patient and wait a few weeks. Should I go ahead and keep bugging them until they hire me?

i'm sorry, what i need are not the ones that make me do a survey or offer anything or sell. as a house wife, whom i am bound to stay at home due to some health issues, my previous work was an english teacher, so i'm wondering if there are on line teaching careers out there or anything related. like writing articles, checking grammars, maybe even secretarial or typing jobs. which are definitely LEGITIMATE ones. but please, no selling, no doing surveys, or offering anything to anyone. sorry...i just need some help so i can help my husband in return with our finances. thank you so much!

I told my boss that I will be leaving at the end of October and, after the initial shock, he has become so demanding that I can hardly breath. He wants me to finish 2 projects, write everything up and pass most of what I wrote so far to him.

In particular I have put together a Grant Application with my own ideas, my research, my effort, and now he demands I pass it on so that he can apply.... Am I right to say that this is my Intellectual Property?
Thank you

In the past the last few jobs I've had they didn't check references. I have no good professional references because all the managers I have had, I never kept in touch with. Places I worked for went out of business or the managers quit and we didn't keep in touch. I have a job now but it's very little money so I applied for something full time again. A managerial position and they called for an interview the very next day. The interview is this weekend and I would love to get this job but I am concerned about the references issue because if they can't check references other than friends and one old co-worker is that a strike against me for the job?

At 26 and with 2 B.A's i can't get a job interview in the Schaumburg/chicago area to save my life. I left CA and a pretty good paying career to start a new life in Illinois. Ive been here for about 3 weeks but havnt found ANYTHING. i apply to all kinds of stuff...even basic office work. nothing. I have experience supervising, presenting, writing, etc. etc. I've always gotten a job offer after every interview i've been on. i just cant get a damned interview! =( so today i just applied to macy's out of desperation. got the job today as well. and start tommorow at $9/hour.

I'm a little depressed about my life right now. But hopefully things will pick up.

anyone out there having a rough time looking for work?

I have 16 years of experience and cannot make more than 8.00 an hour. I have a 16 year old co-worker that was offered 12 for the same position. The reason my manager gave was because the other person was saving up to buy a car and he was helping her by giving her more money. I am a single parent and have never made more than 13000 a year. I cannot survive like that. This is driving me nuts. My nephew just got a job in my same area of work for 15.00 an hour. None of my jobs have offered me that kind of money. Why and what can I do about it?

if i applied at a job 2 weeks ago, and submit another application today at the same job (except this time i answered the optional questions about race, gender, and let them verify previous work histories) from 2 weeks ago, will the employer keep the first application and discard the recent one or keep the recent application and discard the first? or will they consider hiring me based on the first application and disregard the second application, vice versa or both?

I may have an opportunity to work for JP Morgan, making around 90k a year with a bonus. I was planning on going to business school, mainly to get a job in investment banking or something like this. So, I think if I could make good money in this job it might be unnecessary to go to business school now. I'm only 24, so I think this job could help me get into a better school down the road. Also, I have a ton of debt from school already, so with this job I could definitely pay that down if not off. Advice?

Regarding my job -- I started 2 years ago at $11/hr. After 90 days, I was given a raise to $12. After 1 year, I was given a raise to $16. In my most recent yearly raise, it went up to $18.75/hr.

However - consider this: I'm 38 and this is an office job. I just got engaged and have a degree although not for what I'm currently employed to do. I also drive an hour to and from work each day. The job is pretty easy (probably because I do it very well), but they micromanage and there are rules like no eating at your desk, no cell phones, no breaks at all (except a 1/2 hour lunch), no sick days or personal days. One week of vacation, 2 weeks next year.

Truthfully, it's an easy enough job to me but I'm not feeling fulfilled at all. But jobs in the field my degree is in (arts) are low paying and non-guaranteed. I feel like I should stay, but won't ever be really happy here. Should I just tough it out or should I look elsewhere?

My Dad was a salesman (good one) for over 40 years. He is very smart, but has real bad hearing and needs ideas on what kind of a job he can do to supplement his social security. He drives doctors to clinics now for a security company but hates it 'cause it is so boring and only pays $8.50/hour. Any ideas that are not sarcastic would be appreciated.

I ask this question before at the small business section but was unable to get a solution.

I would like to ask how does a person get back into the workforce as an employee after failing as an self-employed?

Mainly because at the interview stage, a self-employed is viewed with doubt that he/she will want to work under someone else. Anybody care to share their experience?

I work on the 10th floor of a high rise office building. I have a cubicle. No open windows, recyled air /poor venelation.

There is a co-worker who wears extremely heavy perfume.
I have allergies/sensitivities to this sort of thing. The scent lingers wherever she is/has been and it you can taste it on your tongue - yuck! This morning I really had a physical reaction to it. My eyes and skin got itchy, I sneezed and my throat is all scratchy now. I did not have these symptoms until she was around this morning.

I have been hoping someone who is closer to her here at work would say something to her privately. I can't imagine no one else noticing! That has not happened.

I have only been here about a year. I do not want to alienate anyone or cause a problem.

How do I handle this?
Do I say something to her? To our supervisor?
Just stock up on Benedryl and keep silent?
Make a subtle statement by wearing a gas mask when in her presence?

up for one but the thing is I want to RECORD my review.My boss is very "I can't even explain" but let me try. He is like a watch dog. He sees EVERYTHING. He is always looking over your shoulder and it's no just me he does this to EVERYONE. My first week everyone told me bad thing's about him and that he is the reason people quit and just last week he made a female worker CRY. I later heard him saying 'I'm sorry". I've heard people call him everything under the sun including CUT THROAT.My question is would it be a good idea to record my review just in case. Because what I'm dealing with here is no joke.

I have a part time job that pays minimum wage ($5.85) Jobs here are slim so getting a full time job isn't going to happen. I was thinking about looking for another part time job. I was wondering, is working two jobs difficult? I know so many ppl who do it and they seem so damn tired lol obviously that'd be my guess too. But is it really doable?
