Business & Finance - 4 October 2006

Here's the situation... I got let go from 2 positions since I graduated college.. I was at both positions for only a couple of months (3 for one, 5 for the other), and I was let go for very questionable reasons (at least in my eyes). Both of these positions are within my field of work, so I find it very necessary to add these to my current resume. I definitely don't say that I got let go...I tell potential employers that they were temporary internships, and most of them seem to be buying it since they were only a couple of months long each. I have had a lot of interviews, but get rejected because most say I don't have enough experience.. Do you think it is a front because they found out that I was bending the truth? What can these past employers legally say about me? I didn't get let go because I did anything terrible, such as miss work. I think it because the relationships did not work out, and maybe productivity reasons. Even the employment office thinks I got the shaft.

I am an elderly employee for a national retail chain. My supervisor has recently threatened my job because I cannot keep up with the younger workers. As a cashier, I am required to scan a certain average amount of merchandise per minute. The younger people don't seem to have a problem but I'm not as fast as I used to be! Isn't this some sort of age discrimination?

I called AT&T to get phone service set up for my new place . Well they are requiring me to pay a 50 dollar fee up front BEFORE I can even have the service turned on. What the hell is up with that? Why are large money sucking corporations picking on small fry's like myself? I just don't think it's right!

I am looking for a job, just out of college with a BA. I have been horribly underpaid by my retail job as a supervisor. The job I applied for I am 100 percent qualified for, but I am afraid that my current low salary will make them second guess the quality of my work as I have been at my retail job a long time, while attending college. This job pays about 15,000 more than I make right now. Should I lie and make the gap 6-7,000?

I'm a 1st year graduate student in the business administration (MBA program) at Wayne State University in Michigan. I'm looking for a good, high quality internship (paid or unpaid, and in MI or outside of MI doesn't matter) in any of the following fields: accounting, human resources, or management. Specific company names would be helpful since there's a big career fair tomorrow. Thanks!

What is the importance of the CFP? Does anyone know much about this, is the exam pretty easy for someone with a finance degree? Anything you know about it will help.
