So the AAMT is naming their employer of the year.  One year, after Mag Mutual had been bragging that title up for all it was worth, I called the AAMT and asked exactly how many submissions they got and how much competition the big employer of the year received.  I was working for Mag as an MT and found it to be my worst experience so far.  The woman on the other end of the phone laughed and said there is very, very little competition.  I think there were something like 3 or 4 submissions.

Just wanting the MTs out there to not leap when you hear the results.  Please inquire with the AAMT as to how many applicants were considered.  Know that AAMT Employer of the Year does NOT mean it'll necessarily be a good place to be an MT. 

 plans to send card/gift/etc.  to their employer? 

I thought a card to my supervisor (if she is still there) from MQ would be appropriate.  Actually that is the only person I have contact with anymore.  For all the years I have worked at MQ, someone, either supervisor/area manager, etc. has sent a card.  Hope it continues.  Miss the personal touch of working in an office sometimes. 

My second job I don't know exactly how many are in the office, but thought sending a group food type gift if shipping alone isn't a killer.  Haven't been with them long, but they are so sweet, I bet they also send out cards and bet they are personally signed and not just printed. 

Anyone ever hear of or work for this company, IDS?  Just curious as to what they are like, do they pay on time, are they good to work for, etc.  Thanks very much for any info.

two local accounts I earned 23,000.00 and a national I earned 35,400... 58,400 this year.  Don't ask me how many hours, though, I really have no idea.  I'm pretty motivated.  (When people ask me how many hours I work a week I reply as many as it takes  I'd say 40-50/week.  I am also a fitness instructer and personal trainer, about 5 hours a week or so.  Decent money (sometimes under the table!) but mostly I just do it for fun and to be social and wear cute work-out clothes. 

that first year was a rough one... but I consider it part of my education. 

I'm pretty motivated. 

I am currently looking for a new job.  I love it where I work now, but need benefits and they do not offer them.  On applications they want to know if they can contact current/prior employers.  I certainly don't want to put no (as I'm quite sure that would raise a red flag), but I just worry how my current employer will react if he gets a call from prospective new employers asking about me.

Should I write my current employer and explain why I'm looking for work rather than let him be shocked to get a call out of the blue?  Guess I already know the answer, but am so worried.  Would hate to burn my bridges if the new job doesn't work out.  Ugh...I sound terrible.

What would you do?

Thanks!
