Careers & Employment - December 2007

Been looking for a job for a year now no such luck tho, but just found out he is bad mouthing me saying I yelled and screamed, which turns away any potential employers. I really think that no one will hire me because of why I quit and for the bad reference. Who is gonna hire a "hot head"? I know I need proof that he is saying untruthful remarks but no one has it documented in writing. What other reason can I put on applications and at a interview besides quit due to verbal abuse which is the truth? How do I get someone to hire me for not putting up with a bully ex boss?

When I get a job, I plan to turn off my cell phone when I am off work so that other employees can't call me to try to trade shifts or so that the boss can't call me to try to get me to work because someone else called off. Can I get fired for this?

This is regarding fast food, retail, bookstore, etc.

Hello, I am an Anthropology major pursuing a second bachelor's (BSN). After completion of the BSN, I would really like to go into a graduate program, most likely to be either an NP or a CRNA.

My question is, will the graduate nursing schools look at your grades only from your BSN degree or will they look at all of your transcripts?

Thanks!

What does it mean when a guy winks at a girl? The reason why I am asking is because I work at a health store and it is inside a small mall area. and the other day while I was working, during the morning time, every guy that walked by the store smiled and winked at me.

what do you think they were winking at me for? and why were they smiling?

It amazes me the level of incompetence that is present in my office. Does anyone else have this problem? It seems that most people are just "going through the motions" and there are just a few of us who actually know what is going on.

This question applies to real/semi real jobs in which the advertiser says NO PHONE CALLS please.
I know they received my resume because I always get a resume recieved auto reply so that isn't the issue I just want to know where I have the best chance while I continue to search.

ive hit 30 or more (probably more!) businesses with applications, having the unemployment guy re-do my resume for future applications, also, i believe in my skills/abilities to do any job i seek-theres just one thing, they arent calling me back!!! ive got a reason why though, i havent been working in the past year and i cant explain in the interview how to get over that one major bump. Help, since august/07 ive been out looking for work, and quite frankly, im letting this get to me in the worse way. im thrust into the workforce by a lingering divorce that seem to not happen fast enough and jobs are dodging me like a plague. can employers look up my past workplaces and get a bad review without my knowledge? i had one business say that because they called up my last employer, they would pass on employing me? now im worried that somewhere, theres bad news spreading around me...? Im gradually slowing my momentum and its getting tiresome.. any suggestions out there? im not getting any yngr.

I am 18. I quit my last job back in May. I honestly was a very good worker, but I wanted to get out of what I was doing. Having the summer off was also fun. Recently I started looking again. I applied to a few places, but I have not recieved a call back from any of them. So I haven't even got as far as an interview. I'm really confused about why, I come across as a normal person, I don't have anything odd about my appearance such as piercings or tattoos. I really need to get a job because I won't be able to get a credit card without one, I am planning on getting a cell phone soon, and I am going to be at school next year. Although my parents will assist me with my education it obviously isn't cheap to live. Theres nothing wrong with a bit of extra cash, you never know when you might need it.

I wear a lot of the empire waist cut shirts at work and I ALWAYS wear a tank top underneath. I have a large bust so sometimes, my tank comes down and I have to pull it up because the last thing I want my manager (or anyone for that matter) to see is a lot of cleavage. With the tanks, a little bit peaks though even if I'm not leaning over and just sitting at my desk (I work reception.) I have button up shirts that I wear as well and some days I wear turtle necks so I like to think I have a good balance with my wardrobe. So really, how much is too much?

I am studying nursing right now, and I hope to get my MSN in nursing. I really want to go into anesthesia because it sounds so interesting (I know I can't even spell it right but I will eventually!)

The reason is that I really don't want to deal with negative people. Dont' get me wrong. I love people and helping others which is one of the primary reasons for me going into nursing. But I really don't want to deal with the negative people. Is anesthesia a good career for me because of this?

I have a part time job and recently I started pursuing a second job to make ends meet. I was told by my first job that I have to fill out an Application for Outside Employment, that is, I have to ask them permission to have another job. I've never seen or heard of anything like that and I was kind of steamed because they don't pay me very much, they don't give me benefits, and the scheduling sucks. Has anyone else ever run up against this? Is it common?

I really want a job as a host or a server for Olive Harden. The application I picked up says that they are welcome, but not in lieu of an application. I do plan on filling out the whole application. I was wondering of it would be a good move to include a cover letter and resume? I've only had one other job and I don't want to over do it so I annoy the people that's going to be interviewing me.

Suggestions? Any help is appreciated!
