I HATE my work experience HELP?
How long do you have left? I would ask the receptionist and hygienist questions or to help. Ask about sterilising equipment, or x-rays (maybe not). Just ask lots and lots of questions - but not to the dentist whilst he is working. Show that you are eager to learn and want to know everything. Chat to the dentist about why they wanted to be one. And if it gets incredibly bad - ask to help do filing or office admin work to kill time. The problem with a dentist surgery is you can not really do anything other than ask questions.
What do you say or do if someone from a past bad job experience recognizes you 6 years later and is connected to your new job?
You should definitely acknowledge. You don't have to go out of your way to bring up the topic, but you be prepared to admit what happened and what went wrong, and explain what you've learned from the incident and show confidence that it won't happen again (giving that confidence to others). As Anonymous suggests, it's good to be able to laugh it off, but don't be derisive or dismissive in doing so.Generally, people admire the ability to put ego and pride aside when it matters, because it's very hard to admit that kind of vulnerability. Doing so gracefully is actually the best defensive measure because it disarms the bomb (as it were, in that it could blow up socially).So: a brash response is a no-no because it would appear defensive or dismissive; laughing it off as if to make undue light or fun of the events or the people involved is also bad; pretending it didn't even happen is worse than either of the preceding, especially if it opens you to any form of blackmail or if it makes people suspicious.
How do you get over a bad work experience that left you labelled incompetent?
In my 20+ years of career, I’ve observed some cases where good people were put on performance improvement plans simply because new management did not like them and wanted to force them out or new manager discriminated against a person due to his/her race/religion/sexual orientation/health issues.The shit happens (pardon my language) and it can happen to anyone.If you are confident in your capabilities and abilities to deliver, it should not bother you at all. Usually, companies are not allowed to give a reason for ‘termination’ for their own liability protection. Most companies only provide a job title and period you worked during job verification calls. Sometimes, they may provide salary information but not common.You may want to secure a reference who admired your work. The person may not be able to give an official reference for you but you can ask the person to be an unofficial reference.One thing you must want do - forgive the person who has done wrong to you, wholeheartedly, and moves on. If you don’t forgive and leave him/her on his own Karma and let the God take care of his/her Karma, you end up hurting yourself. You simply don’t want to play God and try to punish that person for his/her sins (Unless it’s punishable under the Law of the Land) Let the God (whatever you call it God/Bhagwan/Allah/VaheGuru, does not matter and if you are an atheist, let’s call it the forces of nature) take care of his/her actions and you just move on to your next adventure.
How to get a job with no experience?
Everyone's got to start somewhere. Choose the stores you'd like to work in. Go in and look around and identify different jobs and functions there. Imagine yourself working there. Go to the company's website and do background check on the company. Write a good application letter (there are many good models on the Internet - search in Google). On the application write your skills and try to answer the question why they should hire you. What you wrote "i want to become more responsible and mature since i think a job would do just that" is great stuff - mention that as well as "I am quick at learning new things and eager to learn". Then after sending the application, call or drop in. If you're really interested, someone will soon hire you. I got my first job at a department store because I walked in and said that "I really want to work here". If you don't get the first job, don't be discouraged, learn from the interview and knock on the next door. With such a great attitude like yours, you are bound to get success. All the best!
Bad temp job experience?
I had a really bad temp job experience. I worked at a place for 2 weeks through a temp agency. I did not fit in very well at that company but kept coming in and doing my job as expected. I went on a job interview for a full time position. I was told I had a good chance at getting the new job. I talked to the recruiter at the temp agency and told her that I thought I had a good chance of getting the new job. I just wanted to give her a chance to be on the look out for new candidates in case I had to leave. She became very angry at me, and then told me not to come back to the temp job. I was floored. The way she talked to me was very disrespectful. I now have a new job with an exciting company. I am very happy there yet I keep thinking about that recruiter and how mean she was to me. I am so afraid that I will lose my new job because I don't deserve it. I am trying to pump myself up with positive thoughts, but I seem to keep going back to that awful recruiter telling me "no need to come back". I've never been told such a thing in my life. How can I move on from such a mean person. I am scaring myself with how much it's bothering me.
Does more than 3 years of work experience considered bad in MBA admissions?
!!Going anonymous because everybody hates speaking truth!!All the top best B schools in the world except in India requires at least 3–5 years of work experience to be eligible in order to apply. But in India no colleges nor the companies give a damn about work experience. Any fresher can join the top best college in the country with a good CAT score and descent academic back ground.So companies prefer freshers more over other experienced candidates because they can accommodate them in a small profile and make them do same work as the experienced candidates with a small package.This is really bad for the freshers and also for the experienced. Why it is bad for freshers is that their growth in the company will be too slow and they will require 20 years for what Sundar Pichai achieved in 10 years and for experienced their job is now taken by freshers so that they need to settle with their old profile and same old package.But companies will make huge profits out of it. Instead of appointing one experienced candidate with 20 lakh package now they can appoint two candidates with 10 lakh each and who will do double the work of experienced guy.So Whoever told you about this there is some truth in it.
Should I miss my first day of work experience because I'm sick?
Not sick all year but a few days before I have to start work experience I get the worst cold or flu of my life! I actually passed out at school today when I stood and had to go home its that bad Ive never passed out before :L Anyway it's work experience at a vet hospital and it took me AGES to track a place down to do it and I'm meant to start tomorrow but if I'm still this sick I don't think I'll be able to make it but then I'm worried they will think I'm faking it when I call and tell them I'm sick and give my spot away thinking I'm not serious about itDX What should I do???????
How do you rebuild your confidence/career after a bad work experience?
Start by reminding yourself that this was one experience among innumerable experiences you have had and will have. As someone who’s had his fair share of shitty work stories, one of the most damaging things that happen as a result is that you start blaming yourself and obsessing over all the ways in which you’re inadequate.If that’s what you’re doing, stop.Workplaces are inherently competitive. More often than not, when something goes wrong, everyone starts looking for a scapegoat so they don’t look as bad. If your boss/colleagues are doing this, try not to take it personally - it sucks, but this is just how most people operate.Once you’ve given yourself time and space to calm down, look at the situation objectively. Is there anything that you’ve learnt or can take away from this experience? Is there realistically anything you can do right now to make it better?If you can distance yourself from the emotional content of the situation, and take steps to either rectify it or move on from it, trust me - you’ll look back on all of this later on and realise you’ve done yourself proud.
