should the person be placed in a training unit until he/she feels comfortable or should he/she be placed directly into the unit they will be working in?

you know, in these application forms, asking you "what made you apply to this job".
I was wondering, what you'd say, would you say how good the company is, how your skills match their requirement or is it somethin' on the lines". How exactly would you phrase your answer if you were asked this in an interview.
Would appreciate any help

to get anything to work anymore you need an adapter for it. eg, if i were to buy an XBOX 360 and wanted to hook it up to the internet i would have to buy a 100$ part. if i want to be able to surf the net i must buy a 100$ part. if i want to be able to see the most common picture and video formats (GIF, JPG, DivX, etc) i must buy a 90$ modulator. to hook it up to an HDTV i must buy a 40$ cable. to play a four player game on onew console i must have two 70$ wireless controllers and two 50$ wired controllers. and all of this just to do some fairly basic stuff. there are many more examples out there of microsoft's ability to force the majority of us pc owners to buy extra bits and peices. but yet because microsoft stuff is so common then software programmers progrm some of their software only to run with microsoft O/S's. most people have windows of some sort and not as many people have a LINUX. do you think it is microsoft's fault or ours that we are paying big bucks for so much stuff?

I have a new home that I bought last year (pre contruction) and I am trying to sell this year. Supposedly it went up over 100K in value but I am having a hard time selling because the market is very bad in Orlando now and everyone and their grandmom is selling now.

Should I just get rid of it and try to break even (because I would basically have to lower it to the price I paid just to get rid of it in this market) or rent it out for a few years until the market stablizes and then try to sell it and attempt to make the 100K that supposedly it went up by.

If I rent I will have a negative cash flow of $400 a month so I will have to pay about 4,800 dollars a year until I sell the property. I am just worried that the market will crash and prices will drop so badly it will take years to recoup my money.

Any advice?

a friend of mine is a partner in a corporation and his secretary was recently fired for stealing a large amount of money over the past few years...

now the secretary is trying to collect unemployment. but she will not get unemployment if she was fired for stealing right?

what should the employer do when it comes time to answer to the umemployment office? to tell the truth and let the secretary get to unemployement money?

or do not answer questions from the unemplyment office so that the secretary could collect unemployment money?

what would you do? what is the legal way to do it?

thank you!

Why is it a bad thing to be fired? Don't you think the employers can be kind of strict, harsh and demand a lot out of you? And some employers just can never be satisfied with anyone's performance. Also, employers may not be that fair and impartial to the employees either... They can fire you if they don't like you too and they don't have to give you a reason either. So, why say getting fired is a bad thing when it could be the employer's fault ??

Recently I posted a question trying to find suggestions for a way to earn extra money at home. I work full-time now and I'm just looking for extra money. Someone suggested that I take a 'phone actress' job. Which is a sex hotline. It doesn't sound right for me cause I don't think I would be left speechless...lol...but I was wondering if anyone has done this and how it was?

We bought a house without a realtor assistance & requested a disclosure statement from the seller but he never did provide it & we did not pursue it. We had an inspector check the house out but the basement was not leaking when the inspection was done. Is it possible to win a legal case against the seller to pay for the leaky basement without the disclosure statement? The seller did tell one of the neighbors that he hopes the inspector did not find out about the leak. I do not wish to use the neighbor to testify what he said because she was a friend to both seller & us.

I am having this experience with a state job with Arizona. What kind of job is it if you have that experience and what do you think of having to learn many information and pass the tests in order to keep the job?? Is it common with many jobs or not very common that you have to learn many things and pass many tests in order to keep the job?? Also, falling behind with the training can also cause you to be terminated. Do you think that's kind of strict or harsh that you can be terminated if you fall behind with the others in training ??

I need specific information on how to outbid the competition on jobs, what to charge someone for service, is it better to charge by the hour or square footage, etc. If anyone has any ideas, please share them with me. Thanks.

I got a new job, and I already know what i am doing since I've done it for five yrs. My 'boss' is this insanely bitchy woman that constantly yells at me and stands over me. The other co-worker explained that she is this way, and she goes to him to tell him the things she things I have done wrong on my shift. *includes me taking a drink of coffee while working*. She is the worst person I have ever worked with! She yells at me all the time, constantly looks for things to accuse me of and can never admit to a mistake that she has made. I, however, have no problem in admitting a mistake, and apoligizing for it and doing a better job. How can I deal with this woman without going completely NUTS on her? I mean, i know that soon enough I will probably end up pinning her against the wall and spitting in her face for making me feel like a PEON! I am well over-qualified for this job...and I am only doing it for income while looking for something better..

My co-workers often want to get together outside the office. I usually do not want to go. I like to keep my work life at work and my personal life personal. I sometimes feel like telling them that I see them 40+ hours a week at work I like to be with my other friends outside the work place, how should I tell them without offending anyone, personally I feel I do not have to offer an explanation but I often get asked by a few of them what do you have to do that is so important? My response to that is usually a smile and I walk away.

I was an HR Mgr. for five years, but I have a question.....since I was one through advancement rather than through education *meaning I didnt' go to school for my job.
So here is the scenerio. I started a new job, and I haven't got the problem (yet) because I am new....but, this guy I work with works seven days a week. Actually, everyone but myself works seven days. So, anyway, I had thought according to my HR books that any time over 40 hours you have to get paid overtime. I figured this was federally mandated, and of course state mandated. So, they don't get paid overtime. They decided to put one of the guys on salaried at sixty hours a week....or if you work over 40 hours, they just pay you hourly, not time and a half. Is this illegal? Would the best way for me to get this answer be to call the labor board? I understand these people are CHEAP, but it's wrong the way they treat their employees. It makes me sick, actually. I've never heard of people doing this, any advice?
