Okay, here's the situation. I had a job interview for a part-time job at a retail store on Friday. The lady I spoke with said I should hear something by Monday from the manager. Well Monday came and went and nothing. However my friend who applied for a full time position, with the same company, got a call today (Tuesday) saying she had been hired. My question is should I call the company to follow up to my interview, and what exactly should I say?

Thanks

I went to my second interview with this company on Aug 31st. They said in about a week or so they would get back to the temp agency that sent me there. Well I've called everyday to that temp agency and they keep telling me, they have not heard any word yet. This company just moved here from California and they are sill in the transition...

I had horrible service today at a local Waffle House. The cook was talking on his cell phone while preparing mine and other customers' food. I complained to a server and he went to the back and got a lady. She questioned him and then gave him permission to continue talking on the phone. She then told him that a customer was complaining about him and he asked who. The lady pointed at me and the two began to talk about me as if I were not sitting right in front of them.

I asked for their names and a customer service number. I called and complained to the corprate office. I went to another Waffle House and received excellent service. The waitress was great. She informed me that the lady from the first resteraunt was the regional human resource director and trains every new employee in the region and the first resteraunt is where she trains all of the new employees.

I find this sad. Should this lady be fired or demoted? Its obvious she isn't very professional or good at her job.

I have also ran classifieds. I notice people take the tabs off my flyers but never call. I only got one phone call from my classified that ran for 30 days and cost $100. I've been in the business for 4 years but just moved so am new to the area. I can't rely on word of mouth since I don't know many people yet? The family I did have just informed me they no longer need daycare because the dad was just laid off. My husband will be laid off in Nov because his job is seasonal, so I really need to get some income coming in. Any ideas would be appreciated!

I built a custom content management application for my last company to manage their website and help file. I trained my replacement before I left, but he turned out to be worthless, and left. Now no one at the company knows how the thing works, and then want me to come train them as an independent contractor.

I'm willing to do it, and could use the extra cash, but I'm not sure how much to charge. Any ideas?

I was thinking that I should charge at least $125/hour, plus the travel expenses. That was the rate that my former employer charged their clients for training on our software. And after all, I have no competition, right?

Does this seem high? low? Anyone have any experience with this kind of situation?

It's a company, that I knew nothing about in the past. I had applied for a job online, and now I receive packages, after being notified by E-mail when I'm going to get one.

Report the tracking number, weight and condition of the package back to them, and print off pre-paid labels and take the packages to the post office to be sent off. (Comp: $15/hr. 6 hrs. week and $35 per package sent. Checks are sent at end of month... I've only been doing this for a week.)

Why would they not just sent it direct from their own address?
Do you know if this is a legitimate business or not? Does it sound illegal?

Has had som ework done on her chest I can tell. She dresses very provacatively and no one seems to care. My office is small and more of a family type atmossphere, but I am just wondering why no one has said anything. i myself have kept myself from saying anything because it is not my place. I am not a perv by any means, but I am constantly staring and feel guilty about that... but I wouldn't if they weren't out there sayin "look at me"!! Couple questions...

1. if she puts them out there...is it okay to sneek a peek??

2. At what pointy to I tell her that she should cover up, i am not the boss, btu I don't want to get in trouble for staring...is ther some kind of pre-emptive strike i can take before I get the SH talk!!

Tomorrow, I'm handing in a letter of resignation for job. I've written a formal letter, however I am not putting in a 2 week notice. Recently, a girl left on good terms and when she handed in her notice the owner said that we don't allow you to work your two weeks that when you give your notice it is considered your last day. I heard this firsthand and so I kept it in mind. In my resignation letter I wrote, "I understand by submitting my notice that it is considered my last day, therefore today will be my last day of employment with your company." I have accepted another position and will be starting that in 4 days. I'm resigning on the last day of a pay period so that I should get a full final paycheck. Have I done the right thing? They have no clue that my resignation is even coming.

I've left that company since April, but my name and photo is still on the website as if I still work there. I asked them to take it down several times, but no result.
Any advice?

(BTW, I live in the Netherlands, so the legal system may be different from for example the US)

The head of our department at work is retiring, and there will be a celebration for him this month. One of the ladies in the office is taking contributions for a gift. Since I am the youngest employee and I've been here the shortest amount of time, I've never done this before (I'm also not up on my Miss Manners), I have no idea how much would be appropriate to contribute. Any ideas?

people who can't make themselves understood when speaking English?
I don't want any racist answers to this question.
I just thought that being able to communicate well, in the language of the people who ring up, would be a basic requirement of the job?
If you were the boss of a Cycle Courier service, would you employ someone who was unable to ride a bike?
Of course, many people who contact a call centre will have English as a second language, so why not have afore mentioned operators there just to deal with them?
Then everyone would be happy!
