Question by : I'm a psych major and I want to work with babies/young children but not troubled ones; any career advice?
I love psychology but I would prefer to not work troubled babies or children. I am very open to any career suggestions because I am willing to go to post undergrad school and not necessarily dealing with psychology.

I do not want to work in day care.

I've looked into speech therapy a little bit but am not entirely interested and neonatal nursing requires too much schooling for me. Any other suggestions?

Best answer:

Answer by TUG
Sounds like you should study Sociology instead. You can be a school counselor, or a social worker in a hospital perhaps.
Think about it.
Good Luck

Question by RonRon: How do employment agencies work?
How do employment agencies work? What will they ask me? What information do I need to have ready for them?

Best answer:

Answer by Cala B
Employment agencies hire people on behalf of a third party and get paid a fee for doing it. Take copies of all relevant qualifications and, if it applies to you, details of previous jobs including dates etc.

Career Advice: Rude People Foul The Nest At Work

Article by Ramon Greenwood

Building a successful career is no walk in the park. Competition is fierce. Pressure and stress are always lurking around, ready to make things more difficult. Tempers get frayed.Good manners are often overlooked in this environment. It doesn't take a career coach to know that rude people foul the nest for everyone. By the same token those who are civil and considerate in the work place have a leg up on the competition. Here are some examples of rudeness one often encounters on the job.

Bad Telephone Manners

One of my clients for career advice declared: "One of the rudest, most irritating case of bad manners is when a co-worker stands in the doorway of my office, while I'm on the telephone, and expects me to read his lips or decipher his hand signals. Then when he walks away, I have no idea what he was trying to communicate; and I have lost the train of thought I had with the client on the line.

"For all I know, the client on the phone could have threatened to fire us or my co-worker might have been telling me the building is being evacuated."

Another example: You are a guest in another person's office when your host constantly interrupts your discussion to take telephone calls.The lack of consideration is compounded when your host assures, "This will only take a minute," and then chatters on for ten times that long, including an update on his golf score. You are left sitting, pretending you are not listening to what is being said.What about the times you answer the telephone and your caller's secretary says, "Please hold for Mr. Jones. He will be with you in a moment." Five minutes later, you are still holding the line. This can be particularly annoying when the caller wants to sell you something.

No less irritating is the secretary who demands to know who you are and what you want before she will put you through to her boss

Bad manners on cell-phones are too numerous to even begin to list.

Bad-mannered Bosses

Bosses can be among the rudest and most inconsiderate people in the workplace.

For example, your boss asks you to come to his office at 9 o'clock. He wants a status report on your top-priority project. You arrive at 8:57 sharp because you don't want to keep him waiting. His secretary informs you he is running a few minutes behind schedule.

"Just have a seat," she days. "He will be with you shortly."

At 9:45, she reassures you that Mr. Big is about ready. At 10:15, you are ushered in to see him.

"I only have about 15 minutes until my next meeting," he says. "Just give me an abbreviated version of your report?"

More Rudeness

Another chronic breach of etiquette has to do with late arrivals at meetings. How often do you drop everything else to get to the session on time, only to have to wait for two or three of the other participants to show up? Sometimes they have to be called and reminded that the group is waiting. When they do come in, it is with little more than a flip, "Sorry, guys, I got tied up on the 'phone. You know Pete, you can't get him off the line."Common courtesy is ignored at meetings when there are several side conversations going on at the same time someone is making a presentation.

What about the boss who takes the occasion of a staff meeting to chew out to a subordinate? Bad manners plus.

And, by the way, whatever happened the common courtesies of "Please" and Thank you"

3 Steps To Minimize Damage

Here are three steps you can to minimize the negative impact of rudeness and help build a successful career.

1. Practice good manners. Set an example.

2. Accept the fact that there will always be rude people who would disrupt your career if you let them. Consider the source and then ignore these people.

3. If the rudeness is more than you can tolerate, speak up. Go into your more diplomatic mode and tell the person involved that you find their rude practices to be disruptive to your best effort to do your job.

I can't promises you this career advice will put a stop to rudeness, but you will feel better in made a common sense effort to deal with it.

Question by acquisitive power: I need a job pretty badly do employment agencies work?
Aren't there places you go and help you find jobs in your area? Are those called the employment agencies? I've been trying to find jobs on the online websites but I havn't had any luck with them. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Shortie
Yes there is staffing agencies that can turn contract jobs into a regular job. Typically they hire you to do a job through them then if the company likes you they keep you if not they just place you in another position. You usually get paid a little then the going rate of that job directly through the company but it's a good start until a more permanent job opens up. I worked for a staffing company for 2 years and it was good money.

Question by Raines: Has anyone had employment agencies not want to work with them anymore?
Has anyone had that happen yet and if so, why did the employment agencies not want to work with you anymore?

Best answer:

Answer by Isabelle
Felony is one of the reasons. Convicted felons have limited rights relative to employment. Private employers and government agencies can inquire into a job applicant's criminal record, conduct criminal background checks and take information relative to a felony conviction into consideration. However, convicted felons do have a right to ensure that prospective employers follow Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines in weighing the relationship between the conviction and necessary job qualifications.
