 | I found a research technician job which requires references.
The application requirement includes resume, cover letter, and two or three contact details of faculty references.
Will the employer contact the faculty reference?
Because I have reference letters from some faculties, is it possible for me to give these letters to the employer?
Or can I just send cover letter and resume to the employer and wait for a response? Is this a bad idea???

 | I haven't seen one reference for 8 months, and two of my other references for 2-3 years. They all know me very well, but I need to catch up with one of them in person and update him about my progress in college. I graduated this last June. He was my former chemistry professor for a few years, and the community college he works at I want to try for a hourly job at. He knows me well, but still needs to meet with me. It's up to me to arrange the meeting. The hourly job is open until filled, so my time is limited by an unknown short amount of time. Do I apply for it now, given the desperate times in finding a job given all the hiring freezes everywhere, or do I wait to meet with my cc professor next week to make sure HR doesn't contact him before I do?
I'm not getting any responses from major biotechnology companies (my major was in biochemistry) after over 7 months of applying for career positions (entry level research technicians). My application (resume, cover letter, and references) is solid and has no major flaws. I even did an undergraduate research project in my field. So I'm trying for hourly jobs until I can find that career position. I heard back from a contact agency and a company hiring for a lab tech, but that's all. I chose not to choose those companies, hoping for a research technician instead (I believe that I am capable and qualified to work in this title).

| Obviously most serious research jobs are out without more education, but I'd like more options. Teaching (elementary or high school) is the only one I could think of. Thanks.

 | Before you judge, I can deal with people, but I'm looking into trade skills since normal college classes just aren't for me. Like I said, I can deal with people, but I'd prefer a job where I do work without being bothered with civilians, I put a lot of effort as an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart and it was easy, but here and then you get those jerks that be rude cause they can't find something. I felt bad for how bad some of the customers treated the cashiers.
IDK, it could just be that retail jobs aren't for me.
Another thing is, in some ways, I kinda know what I want to do (Mostly interested in Welding), but then again, I sorta don't know what I want to do with my life. Don't bother saying Military, cause truthfully Military is out of question, got med discharged from ARMY cause I needed a waiver for high arches on my feet (Pes Cavus), so now I have to wait like 2 years to reenlist and I still might not be able to join with the way the military is down sizing and the way the economy is going hurts my chances. (MEPS fault for not telling me that I needed a waiver)
I was looking at Plumbing, Electrician, different types of mechanics from Elevator Mechanic, Refrigeration Mechanic, few technician jobs, and welding.
I've been doing a lot of research on Welding, my college does Stick and TIG welding classes and I was recommended to do and get certified for both.
I was told to join a union, then again I was told not to join a union, but I was told if I join a union, I'd get free training and then get a job working with the union.
I want a good description of any mechanic, electrician, technician, welder, or any job that I listed above that are in high demand, so I can do some research and see if I'd be interested.
I might like any skilled labor jobs honestly, it could just be that I dislike retail jobs.

| I'm looking into moving to Australia and will be seeking a job as a research assistant or research technician when I arrive. I am wondering if my qualifications will be sufficient to get a job in research lab that will allow me (a 22-year-old fresh out of university) to support myself.

| I applied for a position of lab technician few day ago. I had a missed call from the human resource today at noon. she left me a message to see if I am still interested in the position. I returned the message when I was available but It was after her work hours, I guess ( around 4 pm), so I couldn't talk to her. Do I still have a chance to get the interview? what should I say when I return the call tomorrow morning?

| In many cases, workers take on starter jobs as they prepare for their targeted career. For example, one might work as a chef at a restaurant while saving up to take advanced culinary classes, while a business person might start as an intern at a corporate business as he or she saves up for grad school in business. What is the equivalent for someone going into Clinical Psychology? Because volunteering does not generate money, I'm wondering what type of paid experience is relevant to the job.

However, I've had a hard time finding out any information about this job, such as the official job title, job requirements, average pay, etc. If there is any information people have from experience, or if anyone knows any resources for additional information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! =)
