If I dont know what the answer to a question is, can i say i dont know or should i absolutely think of an answer? for example the question being, "why do you want to work here." Thanks for your answer!

A mate of mine is panicking because he's just got a job as a trainee accountant, and they want to put him on the course(s) to become chartered a little down the line.

Now, this wouldn't be a problem normally, but he wasn't exactly truthful about the grades he got at A Level when applying for the job. The funny thing is, he says the company he applied to work at weren't actually too bothered about the grades, as long as they were passes in the right subjects and he gave a good interview, which he clearly did.

My question is this, will the companies which run the qualifications for accountancy require him to submit proof of his A Level grades (as there is a minimum requirement) or will they not bother as he's going through a company and not applying direct?

Any help would be appreciated as I haven't got a clue about this sort of stuff.

I have been temping with a company for 6 months. I had hoped to be hired on but it didn't look promising because of no open positions in my field. I recently applied to another company - a VERY good one and got an interview. I am waiting to hear back from them. However, on Friday the company I am temping for - also a good one but it has no room for advancement in my field beyond what I would get hired into - offered me a job. I am in negotiations with them right now and they will probably want an answer from me on Monday. But I haven't heard back from this other company yet - and I think I have a shot but really who knows. Would it be wrong for me to accept the position at my current company and then quit if the other company offers me the job I REALLY want? I like both places but the other company is better for my field, though I feel a loyalty to where I am now and don't want to make them mad but I really need to look out for myself. Please help!

It's decent money, I like the customers, I like my co workers, but my schedule always changes and that pisses me off. I go to school full-time and I don't have anytime for hw because of work. I also have to work on every holiday. And it's a far drive! What do you think?

I work at a place that is an hour away from home. I have applied for a job that is about 20 min away from home, simply for the travel reason.
Here's my question: How do I schedule going to an interview? I work m-f 8:30-5:30. I can't imagine the business will want to see me at night, or on a Saturday. Is it necessary for me to take a personal day? Is this deceiving to my personal employer? I can't do it on my lunch break because my current job is at least 40min from the one I am applying for. I would ask the new place to be flexible, but I want to appear flexible, so they want to hire me.

I have been at my current position for a year. It was a "temp-to-hire" position, with the assumption I WOULD be hired after a year. Now, they're not sure because the company is enduring a "hiring freeze". I love my job, but I haven't been motivated at ALL the past month or so since the freeze started. I do just what I can to get by, and I have no desire to go "above and beyond". I also don't make a lot of money, I have no health benefits, and no paid days off. Am I just burnt out at my current job because I see no future in it? I feel as though my life is on hold while I sit and wait for something to materialize. I used to love this job, but I just don't know what I think about it now. I've applied to several other companies doing exactly what I do now. I guess what I'm asking is, should I go for the other jobs, or do you think it's just the job itself that unmotivates me and not the company itself? I think it's the company, not the job, but I wanted other opinions. Thanks!

Please no stupid comments people. I am having the hardest time finding a job. I am a full-time student, who goes to school 6 nites a week. I will have my bachelors next summer, and I am going for my PhD in Psychology. I need to obviously find a job while in school, something that will work with me for the next many years of school. I got laid off back in May, and have not been able to find ajob since then, and am very serioisly lacking in my bills. Im only 19, and in debt probably more than any adult I know, because I had a steady income, and then just like that, I was laid off. Does anyone have any serious suggestions of jobs that are good in school, and will work around your school schedule? Thank you.

I took my 12 year old sister to the mall yesterday for her birthday. We stopped at Ben & Jerry's for a shake. When we got there the first time, there was a sign on the counter that read "be back in 5 min." We waited 5 min. and no one came, so we left, and came back.
When we returned, a young girl was sitting on the counter (where things are MADE), and asked (from that spot) if she could help us. She didn't even get up and come to the counter where we were standing.
While ringing up our order, she made a mistake and commented "oh ****!" In front of my 12 year old sister and other kids nearby. She didn't think anything of this.
When did service get so crappy, and where are these kids getting this language from?! I am only 22, and yes, I do swear, but NOT at work and NOT in front of kids!
I'm sure that my sister hears worse at school, but C'mon, what kind of example is that setting? Am I stupid to be offended?

I am looking for some ways of making a bit of extra money and thought about proof reading. I don't have any specific experience, but have good grammar and spelling and a good eye. I was wondering if anyone knows how I might get proof reading work at home? Do I need to, or is it recommended that I, take any courses first?

Don't suggest self-eployment and freelance please - I know how pressured and unfree they can be. I am wondering if anyone has a 'common' job and manages to express himself/herself in it.. Or is every job mindnumbing?
