I guess that sounds like a stupid question, but I'm going crazy here! It seems as though every friendship I have had has been with coworkers. The relationships seem to fizzle when I change jobs.
I'm getting ready to start a new job and want to be open to the possiblity of new friendships, but I don't want to get hurt again. Any suggestions about how to be open to opportunities without allowing myself to be hurt?How does a 36 year old female make friends?
I always found that going back to school and taking some courses is a great way to make friends if you have the time.How does a 36 year old female make friends?
Go to bars, places were alot of people socialize. =]
Hi :)
first , u can accept me as friend if u like ,
Just be urself , try to talk to people with ur normal character , but dont be sooo kind or sooo naughty , just be normal ,
And after a while u will notice who is good and who is bad ,
Wish u the best , and to have a lot of new friends , take care
ur friend
Reiko
Be friendly, not overly agressive, have a sense of humor, be yourself and that should attract alot of friends!
Good Luck!
I know it is difficult, but try and make friends outside of work. don't get me wrong...friends from work are ok too. but like you said. they usually fizzle after you change jobs. so try and make friends outside of work. do you have kids? maybe you can make friends with one of your childrens parents. or go to a park with the kids and meet other parents. if you dont' have kids.. join a bowling team or something. join myspace. it is a great place to meet friends. go to my site on myspace. i'll be your friend. http://home.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseac
Friends at work are just people you know. That school idea was a good one. Also, be active in clubs and other activities that are outside the work place. I've always found that once I quit a job, the people I knew at work simply fade away with time. Other than what goes on at work, you may not have that much in common. Sure, casual conversations from everyday events sound good to those at work.But most people, myself included, cannot count how many true friends they have on one hand. Only persistance will prevail here. You sound like you know how to make friends. You probably don't really need any advice as it is. G'luck!
try volunteering in your community...
very rewarding and you will meet all sorts of good hearted people.
Just try to be kinda warm-blooded and more social,and don't be afraid of getting hurt or u will be! You know thats in us,I mean getting hurt or not to get hurt.
hellooooooo
I am 35 years old and I would suggest joining various workshops and groups locally in things that interest you. Whether it's reading, cooking, business courses, dance classes or social clubs you will connect with like-minded people with a common interest.
The more networks you can gradually build the less you will be attached to each and also to strenghten yourself from getting hurt if people don't always respond or continue friendships when you wish to a course on meditation, yoga, positive thinking or networking skills will help you to feel more independant and empowered.
I recently moved and made friends in the local area this way and also regularly drinking in the same venues you gradually get to know people there but that may not be your thing.
Good luck and take it easy!! Sometimes time on our own too can be very rewarding in understanding ourselves and working towards goals - strengthening our spirit as it were!

How long do I have to be a storekeeper in the US Navy?
I scored a 56 on my asvab...I am not satisfied with that because it got me a storekeeper job in the US Navy...I will retake that test again and score much higher so I can qualify for a more better job...Hmmmm, how long do I have to be a storekeeper until I can change jobs?How long do I have to be a storekeeper in the US Navy?
2 years from end of A school.How long do I have to be a storekeeper in the US Navy?
actually the ASVAB score is not the basis for the job...
You probably don't have to retake the ASVAB, a 56 usually means good line scores, which are what qualifies you for jobs... A 56 should USUALLY get you in the door for a good number of jobs... I can't speak about the Navy, but in the Marine Corps, the book answer is 2 years, in reality, it will be when you re-enlist.
Dang! that score seems pretty high to me compared to a 35.
From the time the application for a military school
or job is made out and sent in to headquarters, maybe about 6 weeks ar the most!!

How do you know when its time to look for another job?
I want to change jobs. What can I do to make sure its right?How do you know when its time to look for another job?
When you feel that the job is no longer a challenge, or that you can advance no further in your career, for whatever reason.How do you know when its time to look for another job?
LOOK FOR SIGNS :
01; BOSS SAYS YOU'RE FIRED
02; CUT IN HOURS
03; CUT IN WAGES
04; YOU ARE THE ONLY ENGLISH SPEAKING EMPLOYEE, AND THE ONLY ONE PAYING TAXES !
05;WHEN THE BOSS NO LONGER LETS YOU CALL THEM BY THEIR FIRST NAME
06; WHEN THE BOSS NO LONGER CLEANS HISS/HER POSTERIOR BEFORE MAKING YOU KISS IT !
If you want to change jobs, then it's time to look for one. There is no fool-proof way to do this, you've just got to put yourself out there and start looking. Try and set up interviews on your lunch hour, or try and arrange several for one day, then take it off from the job you already have to go to them. Good luck.
when you kick and scream on the way there
if your not happy with current job then start to look around. if you are always thinking about doing something else then its time for a change. you cant do current job well if you really want to be doing other things. if you are no longer happy when you wake up. these are all good ways to tell you need a change! GOOD LUCK!!
As a Career Counselor, I would tell you to make sure you have another one...It's always easier to get a job when you have one then when you just get frustrated and quit. Additionally, go find out what it is you really want to do. You should go to your local employment office and ask about Workforce Investment Act Services. They are free and can help to guide you in a career choice in what are called demand occupations. If you don't have time to do that; go to the Department of Labor web site: http://www.careeronestop.org It has many wonderful tools to help you decide your next career and allows you to explore what it takes to do them (Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities).
There are several clues as to when you need to look for a job.
1-When you go to and from work with loose bowels.
2-When your supervisor of 5 years knows your wifes name but not yours.
3-When at least outsiders have been hired at more money and your supervisor asks you to train them as they know nothing.
4-when at least 3 people have been hired with no skills because they are minorities and must earn more money under our gracious federal govt's butt kissing plan. And you are to train them to be your boss.
5-When you discover you are actually not in a foreign country , you are just the only one who can speak english.
6-when your companies requires yu to learn to speak spainish to keep your job so you can train the mexicans who are replacing your co workers and probly eventually you too.
7-When you are required to be tested to acheive the increased pay scale the company just hired 6 new guys at to start with. (and the company offers to send you to school on your time to enable you to pass the test which they were not required to pass).
8-When you see an advertizment in the local papers for for some one to fill the same type positions as you are now doing and they are offered an incinitvie to sign bonus of $4000 and several dollars more an hour.
9- When you discover some employees are getting more vacation time than you but have less empoyment time.
10-When you discover there ar eneary as many new supervisors as there ar eemployes actually working and they are remarkablely a lot darker than you are. (could be the weather?).:):)
11-When your new neissan you brought for saving gas requires 40 bucks a wek to operate(your old gas gussing chevy cost 20 two years a go) but your paycheck isn't any higher in the gross. and much less in the end.
12-When the company announces your insurance companyis being changed due to rate increases they imposed. Than th erates go even higher and your life insurance increase every year instea dof every 5 years. You later find out your company i snow insuring you also but will be using an insurance company as a book keeper. you are now paying both your company and the insurance company for the same thjing you were paying just the insurance company but at a much higher rate. (many companie sare now doing this for profit at their employees expense.).
If yu are unhappy.
If you have been employed at the same company fo r5 years or more and have not made noticible imnprovements in salary or been offered a promotion than move on.
If your company offers educational benefits than grab it because it's nearly a gurantee that in the future new management will force you out to bring in his own butt kissers.
Only education and multi job skills can work for you in todays job environment. Few Comnpanies have no idea of loyality to employees they expect form employees.
It's a fact that you will probly move several times in yur career or even annually otacheive any salary range.
search for work in the area that really turns your crank, regardless of pay. you just can't be any happier than when your workiing at something you truely love doing.

Any ideas for a change in jobs/career?
Ok, how do you decide what to do with the rest of your life, as far as jobs are concerned? I have no talent and need to make a move to learn a trade or something to not only make some money but enjoy what I do? Any ideas?!Any ideas for a change in jobs/career?
A job hunt is just a job hunt until we come to that point in our lives where we want to set our feet upon a new path. When the traditional job hunt doesn't work very well at all. A life changing job hunt requires a different approach. You are contemplating a radical shift in direction.
Career planning is a deliberate process of knowing WHO we are so that we can be sure WHERE we want to go or WHAT we want to be at some defined point in the future. It involves an analysis of career/job options that are new to you. Career analysis is based on accurate, valid and timely information from --- reading, interviewing primary resources persons and direct observation of those persons while doing their job.
Here are some sites that can help you plan your career.

How do you get references for a new job, while at your current job.?
Most companies want references, but how do you get references if you're at your current job and don't want to know that you're looking for a job? I know that we can get references from other companies we worked for, but isn't it kinda wierd after a long time to get references for them, especially when people often change jobs, move, or even ignore u?How do you get references for a new job, while at your current job.?
My strongest references date pack 10 years. Learn the game of life -- you're nobody until somebody says that you're somebody.How do you get references for a new job, while at your current job.?
You should always approach your references verbally (either over the phone or in person) to ask them to be a reference and if it's been a while since you've used them as a reference, you should definitely re-approach them to make sure it's still okay to use them.
Do you have a trusted colleague at your present job that you could use as a reference?

Changes to my job description, how should I approach?
My boss has talked to me about changing my work description and basically leaving my current position for another one. She wants my feedback on the proposal but the ';changes she's proposing'; really originated from a co-worker. These changes entail consolidating positions and my co-worker effectively replacing me. I don't think it's a good idea regardless of being phased out. But I can't change jobs right now so I don't want to antagonize my boss. How would you best approach the situation? I can give further details if necessary. Thanks!Changes to my job description, how should I approach?
This is not an easy one. I think the best focus is to create a job description that you feel ok about. Try to have some influence on what is decided. When you talk with your boss tell her what you would like-she asked for your feedback. Stay away from bad mouthing your co-worker. Keep it strictly about the work you want to do. You may be able to influence your boss.
Never let yourself feel trapped. Do your best to create a good outcome, but if it doesn't go your way, you always have options. Good luck.
