So I had an interview in May 18, 2009 and today is the 3rd of June. I sent a thank you letter on the same day, and sent another thank you/follow up letter a week and a half later. Yesterday, the 2nd of June, I called the company and they said she was in a meeting so they directed me to her voicemail and left a message. It has been a day since I called and no calls back, neither do emails.
Why won’t they call me back? I was confident with my interview, and I was prepared and did my homework. I also looked highly professional wearing a suit and all that jazz. I even presented my portfolio.
For additional information, the job I applied for was a Marketing/PR intern at this high-end celebrity hotel in New York City.

What shall I do? Should I call back and say, “Hello, I’ve been trying to reach you but you haven’t gotten back to me.” That seems rude don’t you think? I need this job, and I want this job. Would it be a good idea for me to just go there and ask for her directly? Would that seem desperate and a waste of time?

I NEED HELP!

Thank you.

I started this job as temp-to-hire status. I work for both the parent company and the fledgling company. In the first week I was there, I worked my **** off and did everything they asked of me. I designed an internal newsletter, redesigned the company website, redid the Powerpoint presentation, compiled two press releases, did two marketing emails for campaigns. It has now been five weeks later and no one has looked at anything I’ve done. Most of the time everyone is gone working from home or on sales trips and I’m left in the office alone. The company also has no working copier, no scanner, no envelopes, and no stamps or postage yet they expect me to do all these direct mail campaigns. To copy something, I have to use the poor quality fax. To scan something, I have to fax it to myself.

I eventually went to a psychiatrist, and when I explained the situation he said, “What in the world kind of company is this?”

Some days I feel I would rather not wake up at all than go into work and feel the way I do. Should I hang in there or should I quit?

My employer has realised they’re not doing too well as a company and are making a lot of negative changes, most of these effecting staff that have always been loyal and hardworking (myself included).

I feel sorry for them, but these changes are really changing what was once a nice place to work, into a miserable place where everyone bitches.
Management have changed our bonus structure and have ruled out wage increases completely (where previously they had a simple KPI based bonus and increase structure). My manager promised me a certain incentive to reach targets - the targets were reached 6 months ago and my queries regarding the promised incentive has gone ignored.
They sent out heavy threatening emails weekly with new rules (which are clearly made to keep a closer eye on staff), warnings and more work (including marketing and other things that are not really in our job description) and todays email even took away reimbursement for work related driving expenses (saying that we can claim these in tax later).
More recently I have been told to that I am relocating to a different office - meaning I have had to move my daughter to a new daycare centre. (Anyone with a child will know how insulting and scary it is- not having total control over your childs happiness).

So how do I know when enough is enough?? Should I stick with this company, whom Ive been with for years and see what happens - or cut my losses and seek new employment?

The bank president sent an email to the entire bank that there will be a meeting for every employee at the main office. He notes that the banking industry is hurting due to the depressed real estate market and poor economy. I’m so afraid of what might happen! Am I going to lose my job?

So I have been doing some ******** craigslist job hunting for the last three weeks. Jobs like receptionist, assistant teacher, customer service rep (I have a BA, and over 3 yrs experience in retail/customer service and education) I know it’s a tough job market out there- i live in Chicago, too… But my god, i’ve sent out about 50 resumes and got maybe one e-mail back…

What can I do to stand out?? I never know if I should be friendly and candid in the email, say a little bit about why I want the job, or just straight up professional with only the resume attached…

I’m 22 and here is my resume for a job I’d really like to nail.

also, should my marshall fields experience be all on one page?

I was applying for a customer service positions on Yahoo Hot Jobs. I got an email from the a lady that the customer service position I applied for was filled but they had one for a real estate market analyst. A work from home postion analizing homes on the market and collecting rent from tenants to give to the landlord. The company wants me to set up a checking account for rent payments ONLY to go in and out of. I couldnt find a website(which I was told was under construction) & both ladies I emailed with have worked there 2years and have strictly done work on line. One is Italy & one is in Wales. I asked alot of questions and seems to maybe be legit but I am worried. Anyone heard of them?? Do you think its a scam?? Is there actually jobs that are 100% online with no main office??

Please critique my resume. Anything will help.
