Regions has wonderful benefits and lots of holidays, vacation days and sick leave. There are strick sales goals that you will have to agree to or else you will be written up and/or terminated. I enjoyed working for Regions for more than 11 years. Great place to work.
Working for the IRS is like driving a taxi or a waitress/waiter. You don't start off life wanting to pursue this as your career, you just fall into it. If there is anybody actually looking to work for the IRS all I can advise them is to seek professional help. You're either delusional or need psychiatric help. I suggest to anybody reading this who wishes to work for the federal government to check out this website "Partnership for Public Service." It rates employee happiness and satisfaction based on internal surveys throughout the federal government. The IRS is perennially low on the list. There's good reasons for that.

Great day all, I recently received my bachelor's in social work and i'm having a hard time finding work. I have an interview for a position as an admin assistant, pay is great but outside of what I normally would do. My career is in health care and this is more business. I've researched the company, I guess i'm anxious and despite it being out of my norm, rejection doesn't feel good, even if it is 4a position that i'm over qualified for... whatcha think?
I have been in restaurant management for around 13 years, though they pay pretty good for a job that doesn’t require a degree I just can’t do it anymore. Im recently unemployed, and I’m a single mother with no help and I feel like I’m missing out on their lives. I have a whole household to take care of with no income coming in. I Trust in God, but I’m so worried. I have experience as an office assistant, waitressing, bar tending, and call center experience as well. I recently decided to start cleaning houses and offices to bring in some money but I’m having trouble getting the word out. I’ve posted on local FB pages and Craigslist. I feel like I live on indeed.Any advice?
Hello, so I dont know if many can help me but I may have to move out of state and I would need a new administrative assistant position in Texas, Oklahoma, or Missouri. This is my first move out of state during my whole job history. What should I do?

I have been job seaching for an entey level job in HR. If I volunteer it can only be 1 day a week which is not enough days. I am will to take the bare minimum in pay to start out. I have years experience working as an administrative assistant and would do great as an HR.Assistant. I have joined SHRM and PIHRA so I can start networking, but afraid I won't land a job within reasonable time. Does anyone have this problem?
After 13 months of job searching, 450 resumes sent out, 30 interviews under my belt, I finally got it, retirement!
I found a job in late February. Administrative Assistant in a Customer Service environment. Wonderful, I thought! That's right up my alley!
I trained part-time for 4 weeks on a complex data base, I aced it. I was integrated to the office and was a hit with the customers. Everything was wonderful....except...the co-workers. Drama loving individuals, gossip generating minds acting upon speculation against everyone that worked there. I was the main target from the minute I started. Comments like, you are too professional, you are too detailed in dealing with customers, you need to explain nothing to them, just get them off the phone. Accusations of smoking in the bathroom and then called a liar if I kindly explained, I don't smoke during working hours, after all a 6 hour shift only gave 15 minutes break. Enough time to woof down a sandwich and use the WC. I was sent to get their lunches with my own car, drive broken vehicles to repair shops without reimbursement for mileage or told I had to transport co-workers to different locations and pick them back up (job related and some not). Not included in conversations or my comments / opinions ignored. I had a family emergency during that time, did not take time off, just explained that someone was ill because I was ask why I looked upset and thereafter nobody ever ask how things where going. The two lead "chicks" who were working there constantly picking apart they way I phrase sentences (yes, I speak fluent English, I just happen to have an accent since I was school as a child to a dad in the armed forces abroad.) There were many other things that had been done and said to me and make me feel badly to the point my stress level slowly made me uncomfortable to go to work. So after 9 weeks there, I decided that nobody deserves to be bullied, and I turned in my keys to the offices and never went back. I didn't give them an explanation. Why? They are aware that the drama made for a toxic environment. My only statement was: "You have people working for your company that makes you money, unfortunately I do not agree with your business tactics how you treat customers and others, therefore I have decided that you as an employer are not a fit for me."
Ending statements: bullying happens not just because you are a child, a school student, sexually different, ethic backgrounds, etc. it happens to people over 65 from all walks of life. Suddenly, right around your retirement, a lot of people change towards you assuming you are 1) hard of hearing; 2) computer illiterate; 3) comprehension problems just to name a few.
After working for 46 years non-stop as a productive and responsible employee, I have thrown in the towel. My gain, their lost, and with the currently lack of getting paid your worth, I am really not losing "that much" but I get to keep my self worth and my integrity.
Thanks for reading this and I wish everyone good luck in find a job and I hope that others will not experience what I endure over the last 13 months.
Live long and prosper! :)
