I completed an undergrad in international business and paired it with an MBA, and BARELY managed to find an internship of 3 months after which it took me over 10 months to land my first full time job, which lasted 8months and which was an absolute nightmare (we're talking 8am until 11pm with unpaid overtime and an abusive (and probably unstable) boss that yelled at and called myself and other colleagues horrible names – think motherf***er, dogs, shut the f up, etc.), where our department finally got laid off due to financial issues. I have gained an enormous amount of experience in that role – especially because it was a startup, so I was helping out in other departments too – yet no company seems to want someone with just 1 year of professional experience. What's wrong with companies today? Do they not train anymore? Do I need to go…

I’ve worked since I was 16. I’ve held two jobs for five years each. This job I took in let’s say February was a retail job doing things I’m not used to. My boss is a friend. We carpool. I discovered I’m miserable working 9-7 everyday, want my life/some weekends back. Emotionally I’m spent and overworked and burnt out so I called out tonight for tomorrows shift. But the store may be short staffed if the other employee doesn’t come in. Should I feel guilty? Still have another job that I’ve had for years. I need to take care of medical

So I graduated recently from a decent state university. Niche program in the university, but the average starting salary is on par with engineering degrees. I learned a lot and had a good time, got an internship last year and plenty of sponsored things and projects to put on my resume. Fresh graduate and I need more money than a part-time can provide. I saw a job and I applied. It's at a manufacturing plant, but it's about 90-10 office-manufacturing floor ratio of work. The previous guy on the job got a promotion and he moved to the company HQ, so they needed to fill someone in. The company has close ties to my university, and especially with my program. So a few of the guys at the facility already knew me from some career fairs and information sessions and whatnot. Interview with HR person goes great. HR person asks…
