Im going to a Gap interview tomorrow for a retail sales position. I don't have any khaki or black pants. I know that if I get the job I wont be allowed to wear sneakers and will have to dress in Gap or no brand clothing... so if I get the job I'll go shopping for some gap apparel. But would it be alright if I wore jeans with white sneakers and a white t shirt ? I only own sneakers.

I need a fulltime job that actually is worth having. I refuse to work for another daycare center fulltime to only make $5 and hour and im definately not working for a grocery store again for the same thing. Which seems to be the only places that hires people who only have a high school diploma. So i need suggestions on where to find a fulltime job in the richmond, va area.

I got an offer for 20% more than my income now, and I def need the money bad, but the thing is, I'm comfortable here and I really don't want to leave. I suppose to get a raise in 2 weeks but they won't tell me what for. The max at my job is 3-5% and that's only 2000 more than what I'm making now. I spoke to HR the other day and the only thing she told me is that my raise is a lil under 5000. What the hell does that mean? A little under 5000 means that I would have gotten a 10% raise, and I know that's not the case. Is she lying just so I can stay. If they do give me 10%, I would be willing to stay, but they can't disclose my increase. I would be pissed, if I stayed and I only get 3% which is what I believe I got.

A new super Wal-Mart store is being built right up the street from where I live. They are still in a big construction phase and have not even paved the parking lot yet. They just finished the outside of the store and are about to move on to the inside details. I know it may be like a month or more, but how would I go about getting employed at this particular location, before they even open? How do I get one of those early "set up everything" jobs, and continue on as a worker after that? I'm pretty sure they have an application online at their website, but I doubt it would list a new store being built. Suggestions on how to go about doing this? I was considering wanting to work in the Electronics department. I have lots of experience in sales of consumer electronics of all types, so that should give me quite an edge over someone just applying 'for a job'.

Also, if you have worked for yourself for years how should your job experience be listed? For example, my husband has been a sub contractor for years and has done work for several different construction companies. Should I list all of those in the job history section or simply state he was self employed and use those companies for references? Any advice would be helpful

I am looking for science jobs in research labs, so in most of them there is some level of risk.

I usually ask if there are any relevant safety concerns as one of my end-of-interview questions. I want to know how to approach this without seeming like i'd be a wimp or un-coopertive, or worse yet like i don't know much about OHS.

Mostly it is a "just checking", and a bit of sussing out if we are "on the same level" with outr attitude to work safety, but also if i got two offers and one was a bit dangerous more dangerous it may be a deciding factor.

The main things i am concerned about are Radiation and human tissue (i'm mopst scared of HIV). I would preffer to work with an employer with an overcautious attitude to both. I would not completely rule out a job that involved one of these, i just want to make sure it is very well controled (e.g. no sharps used with un-screaned human tissue).

I usually mention i don't have a radiation licence in an FYI manner.

After attending an interview, maybe you felt you didn't like something about the place or people, or you didn't like the sound of the job after hearing more about it, etc. What did you do? Was it an easy choice to make?

I temp as a secretary. However, deep down, I am rebellious and hate rules. I'm in a temp booking where I have been asked to make a cup of tea for a gentleman who will be coming into the office this afternoon. Although I have accepted this on the surface, I can feel the feelings of resentment/anger welling up inside me already. I want to progress into permanent PA work and I know this will involve me having make the occasional drink for managers, etc, but I get so inwardly inflamed!!! How can I get over this, or am I right in that I shouldn't be making refreshments for visitors/clients after all?

Hi I am 18 years old turning 19 this November, a Junior College student. Well I am devastated about my chosen career. I am graduating soon with an IT major on October 2008. When I was in my Sophomore year, I realized that I want to be a nurse and work in America but unfortunately my parents didn't allow me to change my major, they told me that I should finish my IT major and then probably study again after graduation. I am getting depressed, I feel like I am wasting my time, my youth... I am going to study again for 2 to 3 years and will take an exam after 2 years so I can work in America.... I am getting old... by that time ........ peeps my same age are making a lot of money already and how about me??? It's frustrating :( help! advices plssss

Okay, so I had decided I wanted to be a teacher. Im at a community college now working on my AA in Liberal Arts and transfer to a 4 year college... But now I dont thinkg I want to be a teacher anymore!

Im interested in other areas like sociology, history and religions. More though on sociology and history. Those are my passions.....But what the heck can I do with those two areas right there besides teach if I major in them? I dont want to be a social worker; they are really underpaid and dont make much. People with a PhD in social work start at 40k... and thats having a PhD!!! And what cant I do with a history major besides teach? Im thinking probably nothing???

I am so confused and dont know what to do. Im frustrated because I want to already be doing something meaningful and earning good money to start living my life with my honey-bunny then have a family. Im feeling so desperate, Im thinking of quitting college altogether and doing a short career thing in nursing.............

i spoke to a man last night who said if you claim incapacity benefit and work part time you can be interviewed under caution he said his wife worked 10 hours a week and had to be interviewed she told them she had this work but they still interviewed her, they stopped her benefit and taped the interview she was not being watched and they did not ask her employer
i looked into this and it does say you can work under 16 hours a week and still get benefit
she said she was not doing anything wrong and was not a benefit fraud
another lady told me that she may have to pay back 1 pound a week as she was not allowed to do permitted work but was told she could do this work rather than go on to income support

what really happens in a interview and can they make you pay back the money if you only have a small income
and how do they find all these things out

I have qualifications, but I do not have the skills most employers look for. I also do not work well in a team and am not a team player. I also have a medical condition which means I find it hard to go to interviews and talk to employers because I am so nervous and they do not want someone so nervous. I am on unemployment and the employment agency is forcing me to work. I cannot tell them about this because they would not understand and I find them hard to deal with. I would like to work for myself, I am very good at writing and would like to do this for a career and am working on it but it takes time. I also find most employers to be pains to work for because they expect so much and with my medical condition I find it hard to learn new things and time is money. People have tried to change me to the image they want in the company but get frustrated and say I cannot learn. I just learn in a unique way and they do not understand or want to understand. What can I do?
