I graduated from a run of mill university, and am working in IT field in a local government. Got a little over 5 year of experience. I am still relatively young nearing my mid 30s.

I am interested in getting a job at prestigious schools like Harvard, Princeton or Darthmouth as an IT technician. How competitive is it? How difficult is the process, and do interviewers sometimes give a bit of BS during hiring processes like in private or government sector?

Once you get in, that is if you get in, how fast paced do those Ivy schools tend to be for your work?

My husband passed the postal exam and was told that his three requests of locations had been noted. He doesn't know how to follow up - he thinks perhaps they will just call when there is an opening in one of his preferred locations but is there another application process or some way to find out what is going on?

I graduated college with a Liberal Arts degree and I am looking for a job doing anything. I am open to a career in any type of field so I can gain experience. I am not picky when it comes to salary (my desired salary range is $14k to 20k annually) and I just want to find a job. I have tried both staffing firms, recruiters, temp agencies but when I send my resumes and call in, no one will even consider me for the testing interview. Oh and I have applied to hourly and seasonal positions with no luck (I always get the "It would not be in our best interest to hire you" phrases and emails. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do or should not do? I am running out of time and since I have no valuable experience according to the agencies and placement firms (I have only worked fast food and a temporary job) they don't want to waste time with the preliminary interviewing and testing. I have even had my resume looked over 3 times and was told it was fine.

He didn't call or come to work for three days and on the fourth day he did call. BTW his wife lost her job about 3 weeks ago (no kids). He said he went out of town for Christmas but didn't put in for the vacation.

My manager is new with the company and he is bringing four coworkers with him from his previous company. Me and one other girl are the outsiders. So far I'm not impressed. He can't give me clear answers on the medical insurance coverage, he tells me one thing then says another. I can't get straight answers out of him on anything. I didn't get an official offer of employment letter - just a generic packet with random information on the company and a insurance form to fill out (with no insurance information as to what plans are offered). I email him asking him questions about the forms I'm filling out and he emails me back with vague answers and says "Just two more days before the fun begins" (meaning 2 more days until I start). I think this guy is a quack. The other girls he hired look like topless dancers - I'm from the corporate world and very professional. I feel out of place and not at all confident this is a manager I can trust or rely on. But I need this job. ???

I live in Cleveland and there are no jobs, so I am thinking of relocating to a place with a better job market. My boyfriend is an Art teacher, and I am not looking for anything in particular, an office job would be fine with me, just something to pay the student loans back for right now.

i really love traveling the world. I have been thinking about being an airline pilot but i can see perfectly out of one eye, but i can only see from my peripheral view with my other eye, but with both open i can still see perfectly. but im worried noone will want to hire me because of my other eye. is there any other option besides piloting that still gives me a chance to travel and explore?

A month ago, my boss cut everybody's hourly rate, then, he cut our hours. He found out I had applied for a job - called me in & asked if I had applied for a job someplace and I said that I had - he said my final check would be mailed out that afternoon and asked for my office keys! Can I get unemployment?

We have a lease that expires May 31, 2008. Due to financial situations, we are considering breaking it. We have a $375 dollar concession each month which the lease states we have to pay back if we break our lease, plus 60 days notice, meaning 2 more months or rent. Our consession total is $2625.00 as of today. So to break it today, we would have to pay $4575.00. Are there any ways around this? Are there any legal reasons that you can break a lease?

and has filed the proper paperwork is it customary for the company they work for to call them not to say " Come back to work" word for word but to subtly imply that there are others who need time off too and they just wanted to check on you to make scheduling arrangements? I have had to extend my leave twice and will go back on Thursday pending an ok from the doctor on Tuesday.

One check before Christmas and my job over pays me $166. They catch the error ask me not to touch it but I told them I had already been using it. They pulled thier money back out through the direct deposit leaving the account overdrawn by over $300, and insufficiant funds charges on the way. They are using an outdated excuse that they are not obligated to pay because the handbook says checks are given on Friday. I work a 3-day 12 hour shift and before that 4-day 10 hour. I can't remember the last check I got on a Friday! Also they have not used a Friday pay date for my shift for a long time. Guess it is convient to keep an old outdated handbook around while ruining a Christmas for a 6 year employee. I got my Christmas check Dec. 29th.
