I am changing jobs within the same company, what should I look out for? What do I expect?

Look for the subtle changes in culture--like do they watch the clock or can you waltz in and waltz out as you please.  How long is the average lunch.  Who seems to be flirting with who, and be amazed at how little gets done in the Matrix.

Make sure you are available the hours they need waitresses, or store clerks.  Plus, your attitude has be totally customer service oriented. Employers are more concerned with how reliable you are than why you left your old job. Also, don't expect to be scheduled full time.  You may be asked to stay over, and work longer than your shift time, but you will probably be scheduled less than 40 hours a week.

Always state a positive about your current job and a positive regarding the  potential job.  \n\nIt would be a big career move ...\nyour talents would be be a great asset to your company...\nyou're excited to try something new...\nyou think this job has more opportunity for advancement...\n\nGood luck to you!

You could bring out any customer relations experience you recieved in your old job.  If you did any working with customers, distributers, or outside contractors.  If you recieved any "awards" for being a good employee.  Be sure to not hide your references and make sure that your references will speak for your personality.\n\nAlso, don't be afraid to hide what you did before.  But, as you have metioned, you do want to relate your previous work to the new job if at all possible.\n\nFinally, if you have a community college in your area... many community colleges have what is known as a "Carrer Center".  These are typically open to the public by apointment.  Try calling a college near you to see if they offer this type of service.

I would get a new employer or change my choice of work. You must be very good at many things to do such work. I would think there would be openings in the construction field you could venture into. \nSorry for the situation.

You could go another route and mention that in today's job market there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of corporate commitment to the employee and so you have left environments that you did not see longevity.  "It's sounds like your company is looking for commitment and I am as well.  Why don't we take a risk on each other?  I am sure neither would be disappointed."  \n\nSell yourself to them and you.  You all need to take a risk on believing in you.

Ask the Human Resources department for this information and if it's the company you currently work for then they will have no problem giving you this information. If it is for past companies that you have worked for then try contacting the head office and asking them to send it to you and hopefully they will be happy to.

Do as much research you can into the company and what your responsibilities will be. Brush up and polish your skills. But relax no one expects you to be perfect....esp. being a newbie.

I'd stick with your current job.\n\n(1) Permanent position really means you can be fired at any time for any reason or for no reason. Contract actually gives you (albeit not much) job security.\n(2) I really dont see any other positive with the second job.\n\nWhy are you limiting yourself to two companies? Expand!

change job.  It is better to work in an environment where you feel like a part of a team.

Usually a company will require receipts of the move, such as moving company, packing supplies, etc.  contact the person who hired you or the human resources department -- they should know the guidelines.  good luck in your new job!

Well since you're moving in January then thats fact ! You have nothing to be shy about. You have a life just like others in which anything can happen. Just go up to your boss and tell him/her that You have something important to discuss and if he/she has time to discuss sit down with'em and tell them that due to whatever circumstances or family decision you will be moving therefore you would like to give notice. Your boss should appreciate your honesty of giving them a heads up in advance rather then just calling in one day and saying you won't be showing up. Atleast you're giving your boss a chance to find your replacement so they would infact appreciate it more.  So don't be shy about it, be very frank and profesional about it. Its a normal thing.

Oh you are so screwed.  You just put in a 6 week notice at your current job.  Your boss is going to either look for your replacement, or look to get rid of your position and you agreed to stay and let her do that to you.\n\nI know you think your boss is your friend and that she would never do this to you.  But her duty is to the company and she is doing what is best for her company.\n\nRarely, and I emphasize rarely, do counter offers ever work out well for the employee that stays.   By looking for, and finding, another job you let your current boss know that you are going to leave eventually, and you are not dedicated to the company.   Workers that are looked at in those ways never get raises or promotions and end up very unhappy and unemployed.\n\nGood luck to you, you're going to need it.

OK, so first off, I don't think this company is your ideal home.  From here, it's hard to see why, but clearly things aren't working out.  Time to look elsewhere for work?  Yeah.\n\nBut before you go, let's get all we can out of this learning experience.  And, treat the remainder of your time there as nothing more than that.  You're now there to figure out what's up with these demotions.  Three possibilities come to mind, and whichever is true, learning more about it will help you in the future:\n1. You may have found a company with a 'sick' corporate culture.  The general atmosphere may be 'cutthroat' or just dysfunctional.  If that's true, it will be wise to recognize it, and learn how to pick up on those signals so that you don't hook up with another company that's just as bad.  Most companies are not that way, but I've worked for a couple that had some real issues!\n2. It is possible that there is something YOU are doing to rub people the wrong way.  It could be something as simple as combing your hair the wrong way, but whatever it is, figure it out before you leave.  That way, if its something that you're willing to change, it might help you develop a better working relationship in your next job.\n3. You might have just found that you're not ideally suited for this industry.  Perhaps there is something about you and retail that just don't mesh perfectly.  Again, if this is true, it should redirect your next job search into a different industry.  I can tell you that there are some industries that I'm just not as good at as others.  Focus on the things you do best, not the things that aren't your strength.\n\nOne other things strikes me.  You mentioned sending out resumes and thinking about grad school, and that you thought this might have affected your career prospects.  I'm puzzled about this.  How would they have known about these things?  If you were just chattering about it in conversation, I think this could indeed have sabotaged your prospects.  These are things that typically we don't talk about at work.  If nothing else, it can make the people who STAY feel somewhat demeaned, especially if you act like you're going somewhere better, or that you think you're too good to stay working there with them.  The point is, at some point, if you take a new job, you'll have to spread the news, but if you aren't really going, it's just demoralizing to be talking about going somewhere better all the time.\n\nAnyway, regardless of any of this, YES, it's time to look elsewhere.  Go somewhere that they'll value your ability.  Clearly, you're not getting a good connection where you are.\n\nBest of luck to you.
