Hell, yes! But only because I don't like my job right now.  Besides, I'd like some time off to go see the world and have the vacation of a lifetime using the money I just won.  Plus, I'd need time to study different types of investment so that the whole load won't just go down the drain.\n\nHowever, that doesn't discount the possibility that I may get a job again after all that.  There's a certain fulfillment and sense of accomplishment when you have a job that you do well and enjoy doing.

People will always follow the higher salary/ better working environment -condition.\n1stly you would choose a job that pays better, then you see the shitty working conditions and look for a job that doesn't pay so well but with better working conditions.\nThis is all a evil cycle and once you are satisfied with your working condition you don't make enough money so it begins again.

Point one: as a cashier you have a track record of trust worthiness.\n\nPoint two: as a cashier you have face to face relations with the patron/guest.  You are front line to what ever company you have or are working for.\n\nUse these two attributes to sell yourself to the company you are wishing to work.  You will be showing yourself as self stater with a good attitude, willing ness to work, honesty, and the ability to think outside the box.\n\nNow go get a job.

If you don't know why you want the job, that's pretty sad. Why apply for it if you don't know why you want it?

because my learning and experience has given me the desire to work independently and on a team to assist people.\n\nFrom my past experience, I've always wanted to help others that are in need.

It sounds like you might be worried about your job. It wouldn't hurt to go hunting for a new job on the side..considering your employer might be in some financial trouble. It's better to get out when the getting is good, so to speak.

A good answer would be something like, "I want to learn and grow as much as I can within this job.  I hope to make a positive contribution to the team's efforts and hopefully to advance if the opportunity presents itself.  I am looking for a long-term experience with a company such as this."\n\nMy experience has been that companies want someone who will stay with the job for awhile, not someone who's going to cut and run quickly.  Using that concept as the basis for your answer is probably what they're looking for.

Sounds like you pretty much already made up your mind and you know what position to accept... Think of the big picture. \n\nHow do you want to be living in the next few months?  Would you like a dependable job w/security, sick days, vacation days, holidays and weeeknds off, with room to grow...or hopping you make a sale this week, working weeekends, holidays and not having room to grow..

I've done the same and was glad I did. Your  work life is a huge chunk of your week. Better to be in something you love than in something you would not be as happy with. Money is only money. Happiness can't be bought.

The biggest advantages  (of banking within the branch) are:\n**  Making personal contacts and relationships with the staff.\n     This is great if you want to borrow money at some point.\n**  Customer service is more satisfying in perosn to person    \n     banking.\n\nThe biggest disadvantages I can think of are:\n**  Time spent waiting in queues\n**  Restricted banking hours (as opposed to 24/7, seven days a \n     week on the internet or phone banking)

Perhaps the bank can help you with your question.

Also they check your credit to see if you will be a high risk of; A. wanting more money or B. they think that people with bad credit will be more likely to steal from the company. \n\nIf it shows that you are always in default on your house or car loan then how responsible are you going to be at your job? And on the same note, they will think that you will be looking for a higher paying job while employed with them because you are in debt...\n\nThese aren't my views, I am a firm believer of second chances (I have been through bankruptcy so I know how it is to struggle) but I also have been through many HR and recruiting classes.

I would highly recommend that you work for a few years before pursuing a graduate degree like an MBA.  You'll get a much better feel for the areas in which you'd like to work, plus the real world experience is invaluable when you're studying theory in school.  In the financial areas, such as investment and banking, an MBA would be almost mandatory to obtain a good career position.

Honestly money shouldn't be your deciding factor.  Money will eventually come.  You want to chose the job that will best suit you in the long-term.  Why chose a job that is fun at the start but boring and monotonous after a few years.  True happiness is doing a job that doesn't feel like work.

I worked for a UK company that does mytery shopping for a number of hihg-street names (inclusing shops, pubs, banks and others). It's not a bad job, but the pay's not guaranteed, you might get 10 jobs one week and none the next. If you're asked to buy something, you'll usually get paid for it and you might get to keep it. To be good at the job you'll have to be good at lying (a lot of scenarios involve pretending to be a particular type of customer) and you'll need a good memory as you'll have a long questionnaire to fill out after the visit.
