Need help figuring out what I’m doing wrong… help?

Question by Alexander R: Need help figuring out what I’m doing wrong… help?
I’ve been searching for a job for the past 8 months now, hoping to make some extra cash so I can actually have some fun with my life. (parents are paying all of my basic expenses through college, and I have a scholarship, so I’m fine with that.)

My issue is that I’ve turned in well over 70 applications, ten or fifteen being ones I’ve recently redone, yet I’m getting maybe one interview a month, and I never get the job after the interview. I’m always 5 minutes early, I answer all of the questions promptly, I try to radiate as much confidence as possible, and everything else that every list of “things to do” says to do right.

Any ideas to help me step up my game?
I’m a college Sophomore (19) with 4 years of professional I.T. experience, and 13 years of Boy Scouts, including significant leadership and community service experience.

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong! The problem is that companies never hire the right people anymore. I have the same problem trying to find a job. I actually work hard and do my job rather than stand around gossiping with others or worrying about what to eat for lunch. I’m not sure what people are looking for but it’s obviously not someone who wants to actually work and do a good job. It really shouldn’t have to be a game but sadly, finding a job is. Good luck with your job search and eventually someone will see that you are the right one to hire!

Question by Mrs M: Need advice on a tricky job interview question?
When an interviewer asks ‘what are your strengths and weaknesses’ – I have no trouble listing my strengths that would be beneficial to them. But what to say about weaknesses? That always stumps me….any advice?

Answer by jannersdave
Well Mr Bloggs, at the present time, my only weakness is not being able to show or prove to you my skills and experience within the workplace.
If accepted for this position, “blah blah blah”.

Maybe something on those lines.

Good luck with it anyway’s.

Need poem experts to analyze this SHORT poem. 10 points for best answer!!!!?

Question by Butters: Need poem experts to analyze this SHORT poem. 10 points for best answer!!!!?
The title of this poem is Hunted. It’s by French poet Paul Eluard. If it helps to know, he was a Surrealist poet whose major life events included tuberculosis, a marital crisis, getting into WWI and the French Revolution, and a premature death of his 2nd wife.

Poem:
A few grains of dust more or less
On ancient shoulders
Locks of weakness on weary foreheads
This theatre of honey and faded roses
Where incalculable flies
Reply to the black signs that misery makes to them
Despairing girders of a bridge
Thrown across space
Thrown across every street and every house
Heavy wandering madnesses
That we shall end by knowing by heart
Mechanical appetites and uncontrolled dances
That lead to the regret of hatred

Nostalgia of justice

Ok so I would just like to know what’s going on… Also, why do you think the poem is called Hunted?

Thanks very much. Again, 10 points for best answer.

Answer by TheUnknownChick
What a truly beautiful poem… I’ll give you my interpretation, I hope I help.
Overall I think it’s about an after effect of some type of war, maybe a real war or a physical one. Perhaps a mental one…

A few grains of dust more or less
On ancient shoulders
Locks of weakness on weary foreheads-I believe here he’s talking about the coming back from it, that sort of left over grit and ruble from a tough battle

This theatre of honey and faded roses
Where incalculable flies
Reply to the black signs that misery makes to them- Flies could suggest the things, thoughts or people who died, a significant number of them, black is dark, perhaps they died for replying or an order that they were given.

Despairing girders of a bridge
thrown across space
thrown across every street and every house-a girder is that steel beam used for building bridges, if they are in despair..maybe to leave across space and everywhere in between

Heavy wandering madnesses
That we shall end by knowing by heart
Mechanical appetites and uncontrolled dances
That lead to the regret of hatred- I think hear is where the solemn victory is, going away from the madness coming to an end, to have the apetite and joy filled dance of coming home, “That lead to the regret of hatred” after war it’s a terrible thing to kill someone, something, you can find regret in that

Nostalgia of justice-nostalgia is the feeling of home or something of the past the past wanting of justice, remembering that, remembering how you helped bring to that… That’s what I see in this poem but I’m sure everyone is different. It can be applied many ways, It’s very lovely. Did you know him and Dali were close? Finally, I think it’s called Hunted because appropriately in war you hunt out things you seek, and in turn you’re hunted… go more in depth with that.

I need some insight about a CVS interview.?

Question by Kathleen K: I need some insight about a CVS interview.?
I have an interview at CVS tomorrow for an entry level position, Pharmacist Technician. I was wondering if anyone knows what an interview there may entail, as well as is there a typing test, a reapeat of the online survey I did to initially apply etc. ? If anyone has any insight of the questions they ask, or anything I’ve mentioned previously, please give me a heads up, I would love to get this job!! I need something I can turn into a career.
I think I nailed it. They basically asked me nothing…. We just kind of talked for while, hung out almost. Thanks!

The interview is easy. They will ask you if you have any pharmacy experience, your availability, how you handle stressful situations, are you willing to be called in to work. Anything you’d be asked at any other kind of job interview. No there is not a typing test or survey. You do have to pass a drug test (obviously) and a background check before you they will actually “hire” you. I see you are entry level technician. That means if you are hired, you will have to take a bunch of online tests and classes to work in the pharmacy. Depeding on what state you live in, there may be other qualifications that apply (i.e. do you have to be certified or just registered technician?) Just a little bit of advice, if you are looking to “move up” at this company, consider it taking 10+ years if you’re lucky. If you really want a career as a pharmacy technician, then become a CPht and try to get into a hospital. Retail pharmacy is horrible!

I don’t know what to do with this situation ^ what to say at my job and need help!?

Question by •·÷£a InølvÏÐå(3£ë÷·• [: I don’t know what to do with this situation ^ what to say at my job and need help!?
My English is not that well, sorry for that; but I do need advice or any suggestion what to do in this situation.

I came back to the store n October as a cashier so my evaluation was from that day on since I left on January. One of the GSTL evaluates me as “Inconsistently Effective” I admit that by the time I came back to the store my main problems has been “attendance” in the company. She’s evaluated me from “October to December” Not December at all since I took two weeks off (Final exams) got sick due to so many stress. (Emergency records)

Her comments were “When does traveler check ask a supervisor to prevent fraudulent activity & ask supervisor for help. (I don’t know how to do checks so always asked them nd also for any question or situation I don’t understand.) “Try to Push red cards and interact with guest “(I’m a part time so I worked that year 25 days and did 30 red cards or more! & have great communication with guest. I was a sale floor before) “At first I thought you won’t meet expectation as a team member but you had better these past several weeks”. (Hmm…)

On blackfriday to be complying with the rules of the company “red cards” a pregnant woman fainted in my line. My boss told me to close the register, I was very shocked and frightened by what happened, but continue my work since they sent me to another register. 30 minutes later I asked my gstl to send me to my break (Whether time had passed) But other gstl that didn’t like me says “sends Juan first since she’s new “(She didn’t know I wasn’t)
Last Sunday I had to leave early because my mother was n depression since the next day she had an appointment. My gstl told me try to improve your attendance since you always had an excuse three time that you have to leave early I told her that those days was due to college & I won’t miss class.

The next day I came to the store and joking said to her “you don’t sleep” she replied “ I have responsibilities” in the middle of the conversation I said “That’s why I don’t want to be a manager” She said “ That’s why I’m a manager and you are who you are”

I came to HR Office yesterday; she told me to talk to my GSTL and asked her to explain me further. Also the day I signed I told to another gstl that I changed my mind nd didn’t want to sign she said ok she would erase that BUT DIDN’T …hr left a note about that but idk how to resolve this better. Also my HR made a comment that got me thinking “Attendance can affect your performance at store to evaluate you “my replied was “her comments “My supervisor (ETL) has helped me with my scheduled & changed when ask. I feel bad because im disappointed her

I’m going to turn 21 on two weeks and going to college. I don’t need the money I’m just there to start from the beginning and to earn experience; I know this can affect me in the future. How can she say to better my communication with guest if is one of the best think I have in the store and the reason why I changed my major (business to criminal justice) I love to help people.

From my experience, you don’t need to stay at a job that you’re not happy with. Especially if you don’t really need the money. Leaving this job will not ruin your career goals or tarnish some imaginary “permanent record”.

If the job is causing you more stress, in what seems like an already stressful life, move on. Don’t just quit on the spot, however, be a responsible employee and put in your two weeks’ notice.
