Job

It's been an interesting week in terms of jobs around here. We're losing some people, we've got some new ones, and Boyfriendo has a new job.  I've been here at the stations for almost ten years now, and I was thinking about that and all the changes that have happened over the years...

I started something new this week on the show that I really like! I think so far we've had a lot of fun with you guys, asking you questions and getting all sorts of interesting, honest, and funny answers.

I've had some changes to what I do at work here over the past year, and I've found that I've had to completely rehaul the way I do my work.  It got me thinking about how everybody else gets stuff done.

Job interviews are hard enough without sabotaging yourself by making some major mistakes that hiring managers say are all too common. These seem like obvious interview no-nos, but they’re at the top of every recruiter’s list of things they see people doing all the time that kill their chances of being offered a job.

If you’re looking for a job, you’ve probably got your résumé online and you may even be attending career fairs. Whether you have a little or a lot of experience in your industry, there are certain working skills that all recruiters—no matter what job they’re trying to fill—are looking for in a candidate.

The economy is continuing its long, slow recovery from the massive financial crisis and recession just a few years ago, and the labor market is improving. But one problem above all can prevent you from getting a new job: If you've been out of work for six months or more, it makes it much harder to get hired. We've gathered a few ways to help you navigate this problem:

A New York real estate company wants employees to take up some real estate on their bodies in order to take up more real estate in their bank accounts.

We’ve been going through a pretty rough economy these last few years, but you’ve been working hard, so why not ask for that raise? It may or may not work, but if you do decide to ask (and you should), you should be prepared to ask for it in the right way.

We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.

Yes, you may have a job at the moment, but maybe you should looking for something new.
