Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get your input as to what I should do.
I am a college graduate, so my degree basically sets me on track for management type positions. I see some of my friends with similar or related degrees in like retail management at major department stores. I actually have research experience in a lab, but I'm not a science major so I'm not really considering lab type jobs because I'm not sure I have the credentials. The problem here is, all of those jobs require large time commitments and I rarely get days off except on weekends. So my questions are:
1) How do I handle interviews during a full time job?
*Do I call in sick?
*Do I just quit if they don't give me the day off?
*What if I had to quit after my first interview and I didn't even get accepted to that school?
2) Do schools do weekend interviews for working people?
3) How much should my prospective employers know about my future plans?
*Should I tell them it's a temporary job?
*Should I tell them I'm going to medical school?
*These two things above were recommended to me by someone who has very little experience job hunting, so I personally think they're terrible. What is your take?
Thanks for your help!!
