I worked as a tutor at same school for 6 years. By the fourth year I was doing more administration and teacher work than just tutoring. Tutors aren't normally hired for summers so when I heard that a few would be I let my boss know I was interested. To be on safe side I re-applied online, did...
I don't think that you need to say that you're looking for opportunities else where until you have a job offer in writing or at least lined up a second interview, then give two weeks notice. If you are hating your job now it might make it worse (resentment on their part). Use the review to let...
I am new to the industry and I question everything I do, being that it is the first time I have seen or worked with any of it. I have had one manager criticize a lot of what I do, which is understandable becuase I want to know my mistakes. However not ever hearing good job or any praise makes...
