I don't face this type of problem. First of all you need to check what is written in your letter of appointment coz all the terms and condition etc are all written in it. Once you confirm all the details then you may decide if you are willing to carry on working for the firm.

a good way to increase your odds is to post your resume on monster dot com, or one of the other resumee posting agencies. Then employers looking for something specific can go hunting for it.\nThe very best way is still knocking on doors. But take a relaxed approach. Don't think theres anything magic you can say or do. There isn't and that's impossible pressure you put on yourself. If the interviewer has a job for you, that you are qualified for, he'll give it to you. If he doesnt he won't. Be sure to check back, and always come in the AM's. Guys who come in the afternoon dont get half as many jobs.\nBest of luck.

Networking is really about telling the truth about what you need and want.  So being available is a big thing that people should know when  wanting them to put out their radars for jobs for you. I don't think you need to bluntly let people know you are unemployed. If you simply tell people that you are looking for a new job and willing to act on an opportunity promptly, I think that should be sufficient enough.

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.

When I found myself in that position, I chose to leave the position and search on my own.  It made sense for me because I found the environment to be very unpleasant, and I had sufficient savings to fund myself during the search.  In reference to "Katie's" comments above, hiring managers like that aren't looking for motivated, independent and confident people, they are looking for people who will come into a company and do as they are told.  You probably don't want to work for such people anyway.

You should be looking for a job rather then be on the computer looking for people to just hand you down money.  I understand that your in a bad situation...but there are things that you could/should be doing.  \n\nTry this site post something there and see if you get anything given to you.\n\nwww.craigslist.org\n\nJust find your city and you can post there.

most of the time the employee will contact u after they have reviewed ur resume/app if they don't call to sched an interview then it looks like ur not what they are looking for, which is no big deal unless u really wanted the job which at that point u would call them to set ur self apart from the crowd of indifferent people who have not called.\none thing I have learned is U HAVE TO ASK FOR THINGS as they won't be given to u\n\nNo one is right in this matter as whatever it takes to get thejob

Get out the yellow pages and call companies in your field and ask if you can fax over your resume and to who's attention. You can follow up in a week with a call to that person. Take a look at your resume. Is it full of gobbledegook about you are looking for a meaningful job or discusses your character instead of what work you can do? Employers want to see a specific job objective like to find a sales trainee position where I can use my strong interpersonal skills. Stuff about finding a meaningful job goes in the garbage esp if you can't say what kind of job you are looking for. You should also be telling everyone you knows including relatives that you are looking for a job. Also apply for civil service jobs and look on the websites of the school systems

NO! And please don't start calling. I personally hate it when people do that to me. (And I interview a lot of people.) For a professional position wait a week. Call once. Then leave it alone. It can take up to a month sometimes longer depending on who (and how many people) make the hiring decsion.\nI know it's torture, but in the meantime keep yourself busy by staying out there. Put in resumes or applications other places and keep job searching.

There are the usual suspects: monster, careerbuilder, hotjobs and links through military sites.  They are great resources to get an idea of what employers are looking for and at the same time I have only ever once got a job from the internet.  The job I have now was originally applied for on the www but I had to grab a pair and go to Houston unannounced and tell them that I was there for an interview and that I didn't come all the way there from Chicago to waste their time or mine.  I'm going to break 6 digits this year.  Do what you have to and remember that the www is only a tool, you sometimes need to make things happen on your own.

Yes, I've seen that happen before.  It's really annoying, but you figure if that's their style, do you really want to be working for them anyway?  More likely, they might offer something but refuse to put it in writing so that they can back out later.\n\nEdit: What that probably means is that you're kind of a second or third choice candidate for them, and they're still looking for the right person, but in case they don't find anyone, you're kind of the backup.  It's probably better to follow up still in case you can still get the job, but go ahead and treat it like you don't have an offer and keep searching for a job.

You should just go back to the places you put your applications in and check with them, who knows, they may still need someone. Good Luck.

It means help with finding a job.

My first thought is that they are jerking you around.  But, having to deal with interviews myself, I realize people don't have time to waste on such things.  They must be interested.  You are right on the brink of getting in, but there could be something on their side that does not allow an immediate hire.  Keep your patience.  Continue to show eagerness.  It should work out.  If nothing else, it is good practice for the next time.

Yup.  they do it all the time.    Just work hard and you might get picked up by the company itself... or keep looking for better opportunities. \n\nCheers!

Does your resume say that you are looking for a specific job or is it vague and leaves the decision up to the employer to figure out what you want to do. An objective of finding an interesting job goes into the waste basket. An objective of finding a sales job where I can utilize my strong interpersonal skills gets kicked over to the sales dept. Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

I think a staffing firm would be your best bet at your point. For some odd reason this happens to everyone. I can remember being over qualified for certain positions that I applied for and would never get a call back . You may want to take a look at your resume and make sure it fits and sells yourself properly. I decided to change career paths because the business end of the deal doesnt really get you anywhere these days.
