How did you get your job as an operator?  Did you start as a laborer or did you know someone who helped you get the job?  What are the steps of the ladder to becoming an operator?  It seems like everyone wants experience but where does someone begin?  Help!

Not weird at all!  I've been home since 2002.  Started off, the birth of my last child, and now ended off being medical, had a cornea transplant last december and now about to have the other eye done next month.  I am excited that I should have perfect eyesight beginning next summer, but I am estatic that I may be able to go out and get a job.  Mind you, not a career, my family is my career and I had my own graphic design business, but I mean a J.O.B.  As most career women like yourself, we began working so early and for so long that we don't know how to do nothing.  Alright, so find something to do.  What do you do as a hobby now?  Make it your own career.  Do you know, this million dollar 'make a bear' business started as a hobby?  I'm sure there is something that you like to do everyday that people just know its Your knack.  Take it a parlay it into your new career move.  I'm sure making some money on the side wont hurt either! smile, good luck.

Well, you dont have to join the union.  But, if the job you have requires you to be in the union then you have to stay in the union or lose your job.  The thing is, some jobs, like construction, you need to be in the union if you are working on government projects.  If you are not in a union, then you cannot be at the jobsite whatsoever.  See, if your company has a contract to push only union workers in there, then your boss can fire you if you dont want to stay in the union.  Thats because you cannot work for him then.  And he will be paying for your health benefits when you produce no money for him.  BUT, if its a job where you are NOT REQUIRED to be in the union, then you can say you dont want to be in the union anymore, and your boss has to accept your decision, and cannot fire you.  See, only 8% of the work force join the union.  The majority that do are older people who cannot lose their job because of family reasons.  But, whether in the union or not, if you work at the same job doing the same thing, your boss is required by law to give you the same benefits and pay just like everybody else.  So, thats the reason why alot of people dont join unions unless they are required to for the job.  Why join when everything else is the same?  The only difference is that you have to pay to be in the union.  See?  Its not worth it alot of times.  Just find out if your boss is required to push only union workers in.  Thats all you need to know.  And if hes not required, then tell him that you dont want union anymore, and he cant do anything about it.  But, if hes required, then you can either stay or leave, depending if you want union or not.

I'm currently the VP of Operations and IT for a non-traditional commercial lending bank.  I don't really remember what questions they asked me - but it's important when you're getting someone to do this particular job (operations manager) that they can deal effectively with people (maybe you ask what was the largest group of people they previously managed, or if their current employees were to describe them with 3 words what would those 3 words be), that they're competent with the systems that you're using, or if you're using something special (like you've written your own software) that they're able to pick up on that quickly, and that they understand how to analyze financial data, both for budgeting purposes (i.e. reporting to the board of directors) and for management purposes (i.e. budgeting for employee attrition as well as future growth).

I've gotten many jobs this way....call HER first, tell her you are excited about the opportunity to work and just wanted to know if she has made a decision yet....I had one employer tell me (after I had called her like 5 times) that my enthusiasm and excitement for the job got it for me even when there were more qualified people for it.

Would you be the only "operating" township?  I ask because if there is another you might gain help from them.  I would also go to your county seat and inquire, probably within legal circles, such as County Attorney, on what could or needed to be done.  I would also go up that ladder, county and state, to cover all of your bases.  I don't know if that will help or not but I hope it does.  Good luck to you.

Is there any way you could go into business for yourself?  If you are your own employer then you don't have to worry about getting hired.  Of course, if you do anything that requires financial investment, then you will have to deal with banks or whoever is your source of capital.

Most get hired through networking, but you will most likely still have to join a union. If you are interested, try to get to know someone who already works for one of the production companies, to help you get a foot in the door. \n\nYou can also get experience by working for independent films. Attend all the film festivals in your state to meet contacts. Also try public access TV channels to see if they need crew volunteers.

Just be positive, and know you can do this. People are always looking for someone that want to be at work and help the company grow and make profit. Just let them think that you will be a positive aspect for them. Always act upbeat, and know what you are doing.

to get a job you have to have a job.\n\nso get a job.  \n\nmeaning ANY job.  loading trucks or flipping hamburgers.  doesn't matter.\n\nthis will build confidence, give you a few bucks, and when you go for an interview you won't look like you sleep all day living with your mother.\n\nThen interview,interview, interview.   It's a numbers game.  You will be turned away by most companies.  And that is a GOOD thing.  Because anybody who turns you away knows it wouldn't work out.  They are doing you a favor.  Thank them for it.  Then, after a dozen interviews (or the first) someone will see in you the kind of person they need at their company and who will do well there.   Then you will have a job.  A good job that will last a while.\n\nBut first, to get a job, you have to have a job.   So go get any job.  Now.

The first job I ever had was at a "Bennigan's" Restaurant. I was a server's assistant/Hostess. I worked there from age 16 to age 18, when  I graduated from High school. Believe it or not I really did like it, it was hard work, but good for a high schooler, flexible hours and such. Made alot of good friends..etc...I helped the server's serve and cleaned tables. I also seated people, gave them menus, told them about our specials, and brought them their drinks.  I learned that being a server is a hard job to do especially when dealing with rude people, and I learned not to go eat somewhere and leave a huge mess, someone has to clean it up, and they dont get paid enuff for it, and I learned how hard it is to make a living as a server, people, always tip well, they deserve it. Did I answer all of the question?

"1) Who in here has a job/career that actually utilizes your college education/degree?" \nMine does. I am earning a BA in English and I tutor English to ESL students. I plan on teaching ESL when I graduate.\n\n"2) Did you get a job that you've always wanted (that's why you majored in the field to prepare yourself for it)?"\nWell, I didn't always want to be an ESL teacher. I started tutoring and found that I loved doing it. So, in the end, I did get the job I wanted, I just didn't know I would want it!\n\n"3) Is your current job right now the complete opposite of what your degree is for?"\nNo, this is completely in line with the experience I am getting from my classes.

Well, to be quite honest, I've never known anyone who has made a living with an internet business. That is not to say that it can't be done. However, I have my own business, which is doing quite well. I put a bit of money into it to get started, and I am doing great. I am a DJ/KJ..(KJ-karaoke) and it took a few years to get it off the ground. Now it's to the point that I'm double booked, and (thank God for me having 2 systems) I can pretty much keep up on shows. It just takes a lot of time and effort to get your own business going. Good luck!

I started with a temp agency. The job market is calling for people with experience. As soon I worked for a temp for a few months I had a few job offers on my plate.

I would never take any kind of job (even on the internet) that I had to pay to get started.  Before signing up for anything, ask yourself some questions:  What is the product?  Would I buy this for myself?  Why do I have to pay them to sell the product?

What's a "traning simulator"?\n\nIf you mean "Training simulator", which i have no doubt you did, then the answer is a simulator for any "trainees in bay" to train in. A trainee in bay is probably an unemployed one, but i'm not sure.\n\nOther than that, there's not much I can do.

I started college right out of high school.  I found out that, in the field I was interested in, it was easy to get a job and experience...and the experience was what most employers were looking for.  I have since finished my degree, but I saw a big bump in salary and responsibility when I put experience on my resume and NO bump in either when I put my new degree on my resume.
