i know they aren't supposed to - but in reading some applications and when you sign them it gives them the right to treat past employers as a personal refernce. my most recent past employer says (we went to court with unemployment over this) that i abdandoned my job and i didn't - i was fired due to absense from a medical condition.

OTHER THAN CALLING THEM AND POSING AS A POTIENTAL EMPLOYER - what can i do to find out?

the main reason i'm asking - is b/c i can't get work. this has been going on since january and is getting harder on me and my family - both money-wise and as a family unit. mcdonald's even turned me down and it seems like the ones here hire anybody.

please only reply if you have the answer - no posting just for points.

I have 10,100 fantasy shares, and I don't want to lose my shirt. I bought at $153, and the stock has slid to $149. I have complete confidence it's a solid company for long-term gains, but how long should I wait? Will CEO Paulson leaving for the Secretary of the Treasury have a big effect on this stock's short-term ability to rally?

A guest calls to make a reservation. She tells you her friend made a reservation for $115 versus the $150 you are quoting as a rate. You explain to the guest that her friend did not book with your hotel. The caller becomes irate. How do you handle the situation. *

You'll be suprised some think it is not!

Some call it pulling strings but shouldn't we see it as an avenue for more opportunities?

At work we were listening to gospel & my bosses asked me to bring my cd's. I listen to take 6,Yolanda Adams,Canton Jones,different choirs,Kirk Franklin,etc. My coworker keeps saying that my music is too "black" & that we needed "white" gospel in there. She said my gospel was too soulful & she keeps making these comments to me.

I have an interview scheduled with a company that I would really like to work for and is in a field I know extremely well and like. The main reason I work for my current company is because we help children who have a wide range of learning disabilities, an area I feel very passionate about. I am unhappy with certain aspects of my current company such as advancement opportunity, pay, benefits etc and the new company would have all the things I would like my current company to have. Another twist in the situation is my boss was recently diagnosed with cancer in her brain, lungs and heart. I have worked with her for over two years and it was devastating to hear the news. I don't know what to do - I have been debating leaving for the past year, but on the other hand I hate to leave when we just received news about our boss and we are about to go into our peak season - the summer. New job would mean more financial security for me and my husband and our family down the road.
