Careers & Employment
I,m in 8th grade and we,ve recently been doing a term on choosing your career. I told my teacher I want to be an author. I,m fairly good at that. But I,ve always wanted to be a musician. A singer to be more exact. I took a couple of singing lessons and I,m okay I [...]

I,ve read other yahoo answers and almost every single answer has a bad perception about the work environment. Is it truly worth applying for the company? The bottom line, in this hard econmony where millions of talended, educated and experience people are out of work willing to work any job and low salaries, is that [...]
I worked at Tim Hortons and made all of the coffee, ice caps, teas, lattes…etc… as well as the food and ran the drive thru window as well as the front cash register. I,m trying to decide whether it would be okay to say (on a resume) that I was a barista. Should I just [...]

She kept in great contact with me as she received the different components of my application, and even called me when the deadline was approaching [...]

They,re annoying and call all the time. But I,m moving to University this summer and was offered to work at a telemarketing firm and I don,t know how to respond to it. It,s flexible and pays more than the retail job I have now. Should I take it? If you don,t mind a job that [...]
I,m 16 and I will be officially leaving secondary school next month, I plan to get a job before the start of July but the thing is I really have no idea what to do? One of my teachers said I could go into shops with my CV and ask if they have any vacancies [...]
