There was a time that I work for this organization called adult Rehabilitation Center. In the process we didn't get paid for over two and a half to three months. And based on my loyalty in my passion for the job I stayed and weather the storm. Clients and staff what in an upward a my job to keep things mellow every month is the purpose of being in this facility and the part of the facility. Let's just say what it all said and done and we did finally get our paychecks I'm not going to say this worth it it was special to see who were the kid for helping people and who really cared about the job itself. In the process I got a raise and a new position pay much more money. Funny how things work out, tell me she's sitting around the facility for those who walked out. So I took a Year's leave of absence into my mother's illness several months later. Here I am

By working hard & you never know that you maybe be promoted in the future in this job where you started at. Be positive & very proud of yourself.... I'm Mike from Southern, California & been working part time valet over a year now at the Embassy Suites.I'm finally got promoted to full time maintenance dept.""THANK YOU"""

It comes down to a single person in my life that wishes to steal everything from me. I get elected to the presidency and what does my brother inlaw do, He outfits my home with hidden cameras and posts them. Violates every right I have. I call upon the collective to step in. For he refuses to talk with me, So I will take it to the Macro, Of the Collective. Because if I cant have Privacy, No one can it would seem.

I've been at my current job at a financial institution for 5 years and have been trained as our backup supervisor. We were currently short staffed so I of course, being the worker I am, would cover the extra shifts. They hired in two new hires in December which was great! Less stress off of me right? WRONG. Come to find out neither have banking experience yet both make more than I do. And I'm not talking cents more on the hour, its dollars. They do not have degrees or anything. Why is it when you do your job and meet your goals and just want a fair raise they say it's not in the budget but when they hire new employees they give them much much more than their loyal employees? How does that even make sense.

Executive, Operations and was laid off last March. I was employed with my last company for 22 years before they eliminated my position. It's hard out here. I have nothing but respect for everyone going through this struggle. I actually had a company ask me (third interview) to create a 15 minute presentation on what I believed they needed to work on. I did this, and they even said I nailed it and yet they went with an internal candidate. I have a great resume, it means little. My background and any drug test, clean and yet again, it doesn't matter. I wish you all the best and I hope we can really make some strides 2019.

Hi Everybody! As you all know when it comes to job interviews, first impressions are EVERYTHING! You probably know not to be late or be rude to the receptionist. BUT..You also need to stay away from cliched answers that will hurt your chances of advancing to the next stage.

Here are some of what I've heard...

I'M AN OVERACHIEVER - I'm a big believer in people that mean what they say and say what they mean. So if I'm interviewing you and you tell me this, I would really think that you're an underachiever or a decent worker but not a superstar. Why? Well when you label yourself an overachiever you are telling me that people underestimated you. That leaves me the question - why did they believe that you were limited in your abilities?

I GIVE 150% - I can only give 100%, I can't give 150% as there is not one and a half of me to give. So if you say something like this, it makes you sound insincere and you'll probably end up over-promising and under delivering. This is not something hiring managers want.

I REALLY LOVE THIS COMPANY - Hiring managers already know you're interested, so no need to state the obvious BUT you should know as much as you can about the company without actually working there. Reach out to current employees - pick their brain. You need to understand what you can bring to the company and how it ties into their mission and objective.

I'M HARD WORKING, I'M A TEAM PLAYER, AND I'M COMMITTED - This sounds like a great answer and you might think this is exactly what hiring managers want to hear. It's not. I want to hear - I will outwork and outproduce anyone else on this team, I will take on extra education to grow faster than my peers. I will put in my time beyond standard business hours if and necessary to achieve goals and to cross-train in skills that other people have.

But most people won't say those things because most people aren't willing to execute them later on. Hiring managers aren't looking for people who want to work a million hours. They want people to be honest and for people to articulate what they bring to the table and then deliver on it. So always tell the truth.

I'M EXTREMELY DETAIL ORIENTED - Hiring Managers will want to see concrete evidence if this is a true statement. You better know the details of your job and your team. What happened last month, last quarter, and last year? This also include no typos in your resume.

I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A PLACE I CAN LEARN AND GROW - Okaaaay - now tell me what's in it for me? What are you going to contribute? Companies make money by growing revenue or cutting expenses. What are you going to do to move the company in the direction they want and how? When you're interviewing for a role, you should always focus on the company and what the company can gain by employing you. Not the other way around.

Remember during an interview, you're there to convince the company that you're the best solution to their problem, that you're the best person to fill their vacancy. Focus on that and you'll be surprised how far you can go!

NOW GO AND GET THAT DAMN JOB!!

A lateral move in your company/career makes sense when a promotion is not an option but could end up being the best move you can make.

Sometimes your career does not move forward. Perhaps, you are ready for the promotion but there's no opening at your company, and you have not succeeded in making the move to someplace else.

This is where lateral moves come into play. Something that many people are wary of doing. It can feel like a failure or just a change for change's sake. But such a move doesn't mean it's a bad thing, it can reignite your career and put you back on the path to where you want to go.

YOU CAN LEARN NEW SKILLS - Maybe you're a manager who wants to move to a director role. If you get the opportunity to move within the manager level where you'll be gaining new skills. This is an excellent way to make yourself more attractive to fill in the director role position someday.

YOUR NEW COMPANY HAS MORE OPPORTUNITIES - Say you feel you deserve a promotion but your company has no opening. Your boss may offer you a raise and a somewhat change in title ( adding senior to your title) but that does not change the fact that your path is BLOCKED. So what to do now? This is where it would be reasonable to make a lateral move to a bigger company where you can expect to have more promotion opportunities.

YOUR NEW COMPANY REALLY WANTS YOU- Your current employer takes you for granted. Even worse, the company may be happy with you but won't consider that you may want more out of your career. If a new company courts you with more money and more respect, it's reasonable to make a lateral move. From my personal experience, being respected and valued is important but it's never to make a move out of spite, you're only human to want to go someplace that really wants you.

THINK OF YOUR CAREER - While the title, salary and benefits may be the same, that does not mean a lateral move isn't advancing your career. As I mentioned above, you could learn new skills that would prepare you for promotion from manager to director. So when you want to make a move - providing an answer such as - I made the move so I could add customer relations to my skill set.

Lateral moves can push your career forward. You just need to plan and to understand why you're doing what you're doing.

Millions of people don't fully understand what is required to get promoted on the job. As a result, they consistently earn perhaps a minimum wage salary for an extended period of time.

Here is a principle I learned called "cutting the cheese" which illustrates how to identify and set aside the least important things in the workplace, so you can focus on what really counts.

HERE ARE 5 UNDENIABLE TIPS TO REALIGN YOUR PROMOTION: (1) Inquire about, what is the temperament of the personnel in your department? (2) Inquire about, what are the highs and lows morale factors in the workplace?. (3) Inquire about, what are the weak and strong work ethics of the operation? (4) Inquire about, what is the importance of health and welfare program? (5) Inquire about, what are the major suspense dates and deadlines?

Summary: Now that you've done your homework in the grand scheme of things, you can cut the cheese and set those substandard practices to the side, because you have just realign yourself for a promotion.

My friend, do your hard work upfront and the greater profits on the backend (as in the illustration below) belongs to you.

I Believe You Can...!

Thank you Jesus for my job promotion!!!!
