Trying to get in good with the boss may mean trying to get in with the “in” crowd.

It's no secret getting a job these days is pretty tough. So that's why it's more important than ever to stand out from the rest of your peers, and we're not just talking clever resumes. See, going the creative route on actual job applications is another solid way to guarantee you'll get noticed, whether it be going overly positive or just plain hilarious (we prefer the latter).

Some fields are better than others. And some you may want to think about avoiding altogether.

Many people use Criagslist as a way to look for work and musicians are no different. Naturally, they don't want to play for charity work, they need money to pay for bills so this guy put an ad on Craigslist saying he was available for hired help. The only problem with this ad is there are so many red flags, he's almost unhireable.

Long story short, I know someone (a friend of a friend of a friend) who was recently fired from his job at a local area store because he caught a shoplifter off the store premises. Since it happened off of the store's property, he was fired, even though he may have saved many from harm from the shoplifter who was carrying a knife. Is it fair?

It looks like even fictional heroes are entering the blogging universe. In an upcoming issue of Superman, Clark Kent (his secret identity) quits the job that he's has since 1938

Can't get enough of the Central Washington State Fair and want to pick up a few extra bucks? The Central Washington State Fair is hiring and are looking for a lot of positions to be filled.

If you didn’t know it by now, employers are using social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as an active part of their recruiting process. In fact, a new survey suggests that even if you are not providing a recruiter with your social media information, most are still looking at them anyway.

The job market might not be so stellar but that doesn’t mean you have to stay with a company that stifles your creativity, demeans you for their profit or makes you spend long hours away from your loved ones. But enough about every job that ever existed.

During an interview, job candidates can generally expect a range of standard questions. But what if a hiring manager asked something off-the-wall like “How can I get to some gold in the middle of the Amazon in the cheapest way possible?” How would you react and, more importantly, what answer would you give?

For most us, the only physical danger we are faced with at work comes from eating too much junk out of the vending machine or standing too close to someone with bad breath. On the upside, none of these things are life threatening and can usually be remedied with a couple of Tums and a breath mint.

If you work at home, you’re part of a growing number of employees who do so. In fact, according to a new report, twice as many people telecommute now than just 10 years ago.
