Here's my situation: I really want to move out of California to the East Coast. My friends from Boston/Chicago/New York have suggested Boston for me. Unfortunately, my job history is kind of sporadic. The only on-the-job skills I have are administrative (but I have Bachelors degrees: yes, TWO). Would a company REALLY hire someone out-of-state just for administrative positions?

Would an employer be able to find out where I've worked just by looking up my social security number? Do they do that? Would it show up on a backround check? Or is that just for criminal history?

I am in the process of relocating to Kuwait to join my husband and I wanted to know if the country had many jobs for Americans. I have a BA in Business Administration and a background in HR. I was recently in Kuwait and was told that company's would not hire me because I was American. I just want to find out what my options are before I make the big move.

Would you try to get to know me as a friend or would you just pass me by and think I was stuck up?

The investment bank is the best bank in the country, but is smaller than the conglomerate. I am very passionate about my finance and capital market skills, which I use in my current corporate finance job. Investment Banking may open up more opportunities for me in the future, while working in the conglomerate is a steady less-dynamic job. I want more excitement, but do I have to sacrific my currrent pay by 50%?

My boss seems to think it is being cool to tell jokes using the n-word and I'm a black person. He thinks it means he's not a racist but I'm his employee, not his drinking buddy. Should I report this because it does make me uncomfortable or should I let it go and find another job?

Im getting a promotion soon at work as resort manager and Im expecting to meet with the owners in a couple days. I know that they are going to flatter me with a lot of words of praise, because that is what they have been doing lately. I am very flattered, but when it comes to putting my gratitude into words, i get lost. What can I say to my bosses when they tell me how much they appreciate all my hard work and that they see great potential in me. I think they are going to pay me less than what I was expecting, should I let them know how I feel about that and how should I say it?

As a young adult, I can feel out of place in the business world. My boss hired my because he knows what I am capbale of (which is great) however, biz people that I network with and even our clients often blow me off. I know that I may lack the poise that only comes with experience, but how can I earn the respect of these older people and make them see what my bosses have seen in me?

The first interviewer that interviewed me said I was being interviewed for a sales positions.Her explanation: Sitting at a desk face to face with potential clients and persuade them into buying your product versus the competition. But today I went on another interview because the lady that interviewed me has been shipped to Tenn. and someone was taking her place and he wanted to meet me but in the process he said I would be doing residential sales. I don't want to do residential sales I wanted the "face to face at my desk sales" I report for my third interview Friday, with the person thats going to be training me. How do I ask the 2nd interviewer in a professional way what I would really be doing? Or do I just wait till Friday and see how the training go. What do you think this is my first sales job ever. First job that has a salary+commission and quarterly bonuses. I don't want to sound unprofessional. And Thanx to all those who prayed for me!!!

Also, is this type of document legal? My new boss has asked every employee to sign a 5-year no-compete agreement. This agreement states that we agree that if we are ever fired from this job or quit, for the next 5 years afterward we cannot work in the same field/industry, as it might present competition for his business. Personally I really like working there, but I feel this is wrong for him to try to dictate where someone can or cannot work in the future.
