Quick and Quintessential Career & Job Tips
Job-hunting tips from the June 9, 2003 issue of

Part-time work, in moderation, is actually beneficial to
high-school students because the real-world skills they acquire
on the job make them more disciplined students, Statistics Canada
reported recently. A survey of more than 20,000 young Canadians
found that students who work up to 20 hours a week are less likely
to drop out than classmates who work excessively or not at all.
Statscan reported that in 2000 more than half of the students
surveyed worked between one and 30 hours a week in their final
year of high school. Slightly more than a third did not work
at all, and fewer than 10 percent worked more than 30 hours a week.
Different people leave their jobs for different reasons.
A recent survey conducted on the Web sites
CareerWomen.com,
DiversitySearch,com,
and at MBACareers.com
found that women aren't satisfied with their current job
because of lack of "fit" with company, while MBAs are
looking elsewhere due to lack of career advancement
opportunities. Diversity employees, however, state that
their working relationship with their boss is the most significant
reason for lack of satisfaction in the workplace. Overall, more than
50 percent of those surveyed were interested in seeking
new opportunities.
