How is everything going with your job?pls ,forgive me to start a discussion in so common way!
yes,almost everyone has his or her job.I have my own also,an international trader of filter paper in China.Every day ,my work is to face the computer and looking for clients from all over the world.Sending some instructions to our potential customers.Almost every day,spending my work time without too much words.but always typing and searching,and making some phones at most.
how is everything going with your job?someone would ask me this question,and I just answering :just so so !yes, it is what I think of my current work .No big up and down.For the happiness i get from this job is the moments that I get the reply of our potential clients ,the moments I get an order from a client,the moment I get paid from my boss.And for the sadness I get is the moments that I get no reply after I sending so many e-mails,the moments I get the complaints form our clients and boss,the moments I have to pay my life with my little salary.(here I declaring that I am not complaining about my job).
Yes,it is seems very common ,and I have ever considerred of changing job ,and if possible,I would want start my own business,but I did not .it is not the time.I shoud stick to this job ,for life and for more experience.maybe 2years ,maybe 3years or even more.
Here ,my friends,have ever think about your current job?something postive and negtive?So share with me,how is everything going with your job??

I changed my job a half year before to get the current job.
what i get most here is i have more time than before. but to me, so much extra time, do not mean more money.
and when i spend my time doing nothing, that means no experience gathered at all.
how about in the very future, I lose my job here, what can i do for my next job. can i be accustomed to the busy rythm in the new company? can I meet their requirement?
how is everything going with your job? this is my most worrying question to be asked.
I think I have to think about my career plan ASAP.
thank you, friend. you let me know what to think urgently.

It is going well. I am getting more hours then I had before and that is always very helpful. I was getting less hours then I want and it was making me want to look for another job. I can't pay for the things I need to with so few hours and the less hours you have to prove the less likely you'll get a loan for anything. I'm trying to build savings as well, so that is one plus for more hours.

hi lightrain,
I do sometimes enjoy the life of being a teacher and sometimes not. However, it is not as monotonous as other jobs.Every day gives a new chances for learning. It is not all the times that I am the one teaching and they are the one learning. There are times in which they are the one teaching. However, what makes me complain sometimes are the unexpected behaviors of students that no matter what approach you give just to discipline them, still you cannot see changes because sometimes, the only persons who can help them is their parents. Sad to say, not all parents can guide their children. Because of poverty, both parents are forced to work hard and the kids are left alone at home in which no one can guide them.
On the other hand, I love the feeling of being idolized by the students. It feels great when you know that they are learning from you and they are learning how to aim high because you inspired them.

Hi annierose,
here I have a suggestion for you.we uesd to be students ,dont we?so we should think in students shoes,not just discipline them.Just as you said ,pattents and teachers should guide the kids in a right way.So we can do now is not critisizing them,but guide them to know what their behaviour,how should they treat their behaviour in a right way.
Hope you can enjoy the time with your students happily!!!!

The only work I do is online. My husband needs to be taken care of and I stay at home to care for him and if he has a doctor's appointment I go with him to his doctor's appointment. I am also an online graduate student and that keeps me busy as well. I am hoping that once my husband's foot heels and we get the goahead for my husband to find work than I will be able to find work so I can start saving up and move out of my parents house because things are horrible here.

There are two different thing one is job and other one is business, in my family my father is a businessman and myself and my brother are in job. so i can give u a better reply of ur problem, a person involved himself into business can't left his business becaus there are many thing whach can be done in business bt not in job. in job u have to perform the task wich your boss say. generally you don't do anything if you are not asked to do so. but in the business nobody tell you to do anything you are person and responsible for the sucess or failure of your business. here you yourself have to think the idea's by which your business can be grown. so there is a big difference between buiseness and job.

I have a couple of jobs at the moment, and I have to say that I am enjoying most of them at the moment. My favourite one is one where I am working from home and writing articles over the internet. This is really good and it means that I am able to do everything else that I need to do in my life without having to worry about whether I am going to have enough time to do it by the time that I have been to work and everything else that I might have to do. Working from home is the best thing that I have ever done, and I hope that it will continue for a long time to come.

I'm spending my 8 hours straight in front of the computer. I teach English to non-native speakers. It's my profession and I'm trained for this job. To some it is satisfying because they earned big but it is not true always. Here in our city ESL teachers office based aren't paid well.We earn minimum wage even we worked in unusual time.
The worst is everything seems difficult these days. Regression comes because of close competition. And the sad thing for me is, our boss loss his drive to work harder and he leaves everything to us.

Everyday,I face the computer doing my online work. There is no one to talk to; however, the TV is on while I am doing my job to keep me company. Working in solitude and in relative peace is something that I have always craved for. I have resigned from an HR position that I held into for 20 years. I have had my fill of people and stressful situations on the job. It seems to me that I have been communicating with people almost the whole of my life that what I am doing now is more worth my time and efforts. If I get lonely during the process of doing the online job, I just log in to myLot to find some discussion that I can contribute to. This is my form of entertainment where I get to earn some extras.

My job now, after 5 months changing from my current job, is so simple. Theres no much challenge. I only make monthly report and some simple tasks if my boss asks. Whole day I just sitting, watching TV while waiting for other officer. You can say that I am secretary but not do much work as common secretary. Sounds boring? yeah,, I have plan to move to another city for another new job with challenge. I did not say that my job now is suck, just I feel lil bit bored. I like my boss, she hired me 5 months ago with good salary, simple and easy job, and short work time (only 6 hours per day). But I need to move on. I want to improve my skills, thats why I need challenge.
