Five
Dumb Things Job Applicants Do |
"Are
you the type of employee who would say inappropriate things to clients
or embarrass your boss in front of senior management?"
No? Well, until there is solid evidence to the contrary, someone considering
hiring you may fear you could be that type of employee.

"Let's face it, most of us spend the majority
of our waking moments at work -- and yet few of us are actually doing
work that we're passionate about. But who says it has to be that way?
VocationVacations is the only company of its kind. We offer our clients
(“vocationers”) one- to- three day, hands-on, dream job immersion
experiences under the tutelage of expert mentors. Our mentors are
passionate about what they do and are committed to sharing their knowledge
and experience with individuals who dream of walking in their shoes.
We are a catalyst that helps vocationers begin a long-term, strategic
process of transitioning into work that brings meaning and fulfillment
to their lives. At VocationVacations, we believe "work" can be much,
much more than just a four-letter word. That's why we've made it our
business to offer you the chance to test-drive your dream job -- completely
risk-free! No need to quit your day job. No need to tell the boss.
Just spend a couple days on a VocationVacation, working one-on-one
with a VocationVacations Mentor, to see what your dream job is really
like."
This company sounds very interesting. It gives people
the opportunity to explore another career without having to fully
commit. Like they mention, "a career test drive".

No way would I share salary information with co-workers. Talk about asking for trouble. In one job, I had been working in Financial Planning & Analysis. Come Budget season, I saw how much was allotted for each group, including my own. Being that there were only three of us in the group, and subtracting out my own salary, I was able to guesstimate my colleagues' salaries. Needless to say, I was not happy and showed it. I left soon afterward for a MUCH better position.
