I have been doing this career for 21 years and I am not happy. I love children and worked in day care at my church over the past 5 years and am a foster parent in my state. I think at the age of 40 I am ready for a change. I am totally bored and not gaining any new skills or growth in legal. There is no room for growth or upward transition except if I want to be an attorney which I do not.

I am invited to a group interview. I am told that they will take about 70% to 80% of those who attended? Any practical tips? Is it a strange arrangement in UK? Any areas that I need to pay attention to?

I've only known my boss for a short time and the present was items from his wife's home business. I don't feel comfortable buying him a present this year, I hardly know him, perhaps next year I will. I can't help but wonder if I should buy him a small present just to make a good impression or should I say thank you and let it go.

I'm leaving a consulting firm to work for a law firm in Office Services/Facilities. I have not given my two week notice yet due to just finding out I was hired just today.

It's my first immediate transition from one job to another, where in the past I had months between positions and had lots of time to prepare.

I still have to write my resignation letter to my supervisor, notify the rest of the team, and prepare for a new wardrobe (more casual dress in the law firm) to wear to work. What would the best way be to notify my current teammates?

Should I just wait until December 27th, when we come back from XMas vacation? Any feedback will help! Thanks!

Recently to fight a high interest rate on a credit card, I applied for multiple credit cards and did some balance transfers. However, I went a little too overboard while doing this! My credit balance on one of my cards appears minus a specific balance.

How does the credit card company go about this? Is there a penalty for excess funds over total balance? And does the credit card company compensate your negative balance by say writing you a check?

Please help -- thanks =)

I have been with a company for over a year and just had a situation where I applied for an internal promotion but the peer that won out was a "favorite" of supervisors, has no experience in that position, is protected (can't do no wrong) and has anger issues. I was a "perfect" fit for that job, but just can't win em' all..... That instance of favoritism and office politics led me to actively seek alternative employment with another firm. I just received a call from my recruiter that they want to hire me and that the benefits/pay is double what I'm making now.


My immediate supervisor is on two week vacation until the 1st week of the year. Our director and office manager is here on site, but who should I address the letter of resignation to? I think my boss is on internal e-mail and think I should just send it to her with cc's to the others. How and when should I break the news to the rest of the team too? They have the right to know immediately too. Thanks!

Hi, can anyone tell me the best approach to take in asking for a wage rise? We havent in my job, got a structure in place but the department that I am part of, does. They are paying for my degree and this may seem greedy, but for the job I do as well as being there for 2 yrs, I feel I earned the rise. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I am working on an application to be a resident mentor at my college. The question I am struggling with is: "Why do you want to be a Resident Mentor?"

What do employers generally look for in an answer to such a question? Any help is greatly appreciated. I feel like this is the most important part of the application.
