I wasn't actively in the market looking for a new position, but just this week on of my clients sprung an opportunity on me.

It would be a new position and I really like the company, especially the people. However, I'm torn. My current job is so flexible. Even though we go through periods of working significant hours, there are other times when it is really laid back (and you take time off). I would take a small salary increase (with the potential for bonuses), but would more than likely lose flexbility. Travel would be required (nothing over 100 miles) a few days a week and I have family to consider. The new job is a lateral move.

Also, if I stick in my current job for another few years I will have gained the experience to qualify for even bigger positions.
I'm really caught up with how much I like this company (new one) and if I'd be passing on a good opportunity. Any advice?

I am looking for a copy of a wonderlick test and answer key to practice with. I really don't want to have to buy anything. I tried Google and washed out. The only thing I can find is for $40. This test is being used by alot of employers these days. I have already taken it twice, but never was able to find out which questions I had right or wrong. That is very frustrating!!

I'm a junior in college and I need a good paying job that will allow me to make a living (rent, utilities, other bills, groceries, etc.) My mom is trying to kick me out the house when school start (August 23). Help!!! Where can I work? I want to work from home but everything seems like a scam. But I need a job that's going to work around my school schedule. A late schedule job (third shift or second) is fine with me too.

A lot of jobs that you apply for require for you to have a security clearance, and if you don't have one, can you buy one through some type of agency?

My b'f John was told by his new boss that when he goes to see a client, he should 'Mirror' the client's body language. If he folds his arms, John should copy him. This way, his boss said, the client will warm to him. John's a bit nervous in case the client knows what he's doing.

I want to try and get school finished as soon as possible but its either I get a student loan and be in debt for a good 10 years or I work at the same time and try to finance as much as I can as far as living expenses go. Is it possible to work and go to school without being too distracted by the other?

I recently applied at a well know temp agency in Pittsburgh and my initial interview went well. I was asked by my temp agent if I could reduce my hourly rate by 2 dollars for 3 months with the possiblity of a raise at the end of my review. This all was okay with me. I was set up to go an interview with a solid company and my temp agent strictly expressed to me not to discuss money with the employer. I followed her instructions and the interview went well. My temp agent asked me to call her and explain the details of my interview. I discussed with her that the prospective employer and I talked for an hour, we seemed to click and that I could see myself working for her and the organization. This is where the tide changes, my temp agent asked me if I could take this job for a lower amount of money than was agreed upon. She said that the employer may decline the offer if I wasn't flexible in reducing the rate. I don't believe her, any advice on how this game is played?

There is a woman at work who is about twice my age but dumb as a box of rocks. I worry about her competence, but above all she drives me and my other colleages insane. My immediate supervisor is aware of the situation and even makes jokes about her intelligence (lack of) behind her back. She is a nice person and tries really hard but she just doesn't have what it takes to work on our team in my opinoin. Should I go above the supervisors head to management about this person, or wait for her to make a mistake that could cost her her job.

i own my own business and do not like turnover. I have been having problems with an employee of one year(who i personally like and customers like) for excessive cell phone/text messaging . I have asked her several times to keep it to a minimum and my other employee( who is new)came to me and said while I was out of town the cell phone was at an all time high. she came in late, had her husband in the office for 1 1/2 hours, took a 1 1/2 lunch all in the same day. She takes advantage of my good nature. Try's to get away with as much as she can, for example if I were to send her to an offsite meeting ( which i don't anymore because of this) she would take her time coming back dragging it out 30 minutes or so. I pay her to study for a work related exam and told her to go in back room to study my other employee told me she was on the phone the whole time , I have witnessed this as well.impression I am giving her a written warning however wonder if termination is more appropriate. Help!!
