Careers & Employment - July 2006

I have 62 days to go before I am fully vested (5 year) in my company's 401K. I want to leave this company as soon as I can. Usually the job openings in my field pick up after Labor Day so that seemed like it would all work out. But I am seeing some good job options right now. I'm afraid if I don't apply for these jobs right now I'll miss out by 10/1/06. Should I just go apply and blow off the last year of my company's match? We're talking about $6000.00 less if I leave before 10/1............perplexed

I am asking for a friend, NOT MYSELF. Thank God I have never been unemployed. My good friend needs to know what to expect. A company she used to work for is auditing her because they suspect she received benefits after finding full time work, which she did. What is this process like and what should she expect and what is the worse that could happen? She shouldn't have done this and she knows, but she was unemployed for about 14 months and didn't feel secure for a while. Not excusable but there is a reason. Thank you so much for the answers. Peace.

Someone at work is always violating procedures, and it irritates me that she gets away with it so much. Should I tell on this person?

Personally I'd like to do the task the way the violator is doing it, but our supervisor has made it abundantly clear this is not the way she wants it done.

Have you always wanted to do what you do? Or did you just fall into it, and do you enjoy your work? If not what would you love to be doing ?

That are easy to get into you don't have to have money to get into and don't involve a bunch of loopholes to get paid. Eg photocopy off this ad and send it to small newspapers and pay for ad and photocopy this page and sent to people who reply I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. Stuff like web design or something similar that actually pays I really want to work from home and have no extra cash to fork out to buy into some "MLM" online type deal.

Me and my Boyfriend are supposed to be going away to Marseille in France on 11th August. He booked the time off with one of his managers 4 weeks ago and she said there shouldn't be a problem. Today he spoke to the main manager and shes told him he can't go hes gotta work. We can't get a refund at all and we can't afford to waste £700, were not rich!!!!

We really want to go and need to go so we don't lose £700. He wants to quit really bedly but hes scared if he hands in his notice to late he wont get paid.

I sent in my resume and cover letter for an internship in California (I live in TX). The coordinator emailed back saying he would like to set up an interview. I don't know how to respond because it didn't sound like he wanted an in-person interview (plus-a lot of college students apply for this so they know that they are all across the country) I just don't want to sound stupid responding as if it were a phone interview...
My point is that there's no way I could fly there and interview, but I really want this. Hope you understand what I am getting at
Thanks so much

I decided to join the army after I broke up with my long term boyfriend in March. I have passed all the tests, and am waiting for my offer, which will be ready for me to sign in less than two weeks. In April, I found a good job as a sales assistant at a new homes salkes office. It's 25-35 hours a week at $12/hour. So I make between $550-$650 every two weeks. The army is going to pay me a little more, and to go to school for the first year, too. I have to get though 2 months of Basic Training and 2 months of Soldier Qualification before I start learning my chosen trade, which is like a computer/communications engineering technician. Thing is, I am really good at my sales job, too. I've been here 4 months now. I'm not sure I want to leave. This is one of the best jobs I've ever had. What if I don't get though Basic Training and I can't get my job back? I'm confused. Any ideas or advice?

My boyfriend is supposed to get a 90 day evaluation at his company which he began work at on May 1. Would his evaluation be August 1st, or do they count actual business days? The company has employees that work some weekend hours, though his position does not require it. What do you think?

by the most ghettoish coworkers. I'm pretty sure I'll end up in working similar environments since I'm no Phd, M.D., or DDS. I myself grew up in a surburban environment, where the kids enjoyed movies like the Breakfast Club, listened to rock and had this almost idyllic view on how good life is. At past jobs, I would keep to myself and not engage in much conversation with the lovers of Fifty Cent and Big Pun "music", if you can call it that.
But being obviously Hispanic, I know these people started looking at me like I was a "sellout" because I didn't share their urban tastes.
I think it's much easier to deal with this as a non-minority. If you 're Caucasian and ignore thuggish looking coworkers at the job, they don't bother you.

I'm hoping with age this won't be too much of an issue. But in the meantime, while I still appear youthful, I'd like your feedback on what mindframe I should go into at my next job.

Thanks.
