I just had an interview with the local government (county) for an auditing position. Although I did not have to take a test they said that their interview is based on a score. Depending on how you do on your interview they will send you a letter in 2 or 3 weeks to ask to back for a second one. Overall I think I did all right, I made good eye contact, was confident, and the interviewers made verbal agreement to most of my comments. They asked a total of 9 questions and I feel I answered 7 out of 9 smoothly. THe other two were situational questions so I had to think a bit about it. I told them this and they seemed okay with my answer and they were rather patient with me. I think they were okay with me because they smiled a lot and when I left I thanked them and told them I was excited about the position and hoped to hear back from them. Immediately after that I sent a thank you card to both of them. How do you all feel I did. I'm just going crazy thinking about this.

Most interview guidelines say that you shouldn't discuss salary until you get a written offer. But several companies have asked for salary reqs and/or salary history at the very 1st phone interview or contact. One HR mgr was irate b/c I didn't share. What gives? I don't want to miss job opps, but I don't want to be punked into an answer prematurely. And anyway, I'm flexible on salary (within reason) depending on everything else (assign., benefits, location etc.)

I was going to school to obtain an associates in business admin but then I got what I thought was a good job in a good field (construction) and I never finished my program. Now I am extremely unhappy and I have no idea what to do with my life. I am 28 and I want a career that is not going to constantly keep me underpaid. Due to the financial situation, I don't have the money to go back to school either. I have two stepdaughters and I do not have the time to work a second job to earn money for school. I am stuck in a crappy cirlce and need some ideas on how to break it.

I know that you make a better profit selling Mary Kay. I really like the Arbonne products though. I have a full time job, but they want me to sell this on the side. I don't know if I would be good at this type of thing. I see these products for sale on Ebay, so who would pay a higher price to buy it from me if they could get it cheaper on there? What do you think?

This was a document I wrote when I was in her position. I got a promotion, and she was hired for my old position. I wrote an extensive user manual, something I spent many hours on, and she moved into the position and added her name to the front of the document. It was then published on my company website- and she has made it look like she wrote the document! She did not write it, I did, and I don't know how to approach our boss about the situation.

I hope if this quiestion would be answered by people who have positions as reqruiters/HR.

I have been in and out my job for the last 6 years because my partner's job kept moving/transferred. The last job I held for 2 and half years, and other jobs I held lest than a year.

I don't have a choice but to follow him, because he made 4 times what I made.

Does it look bad to recruiter?
Any sugestion what should I do next?

Besides, I loved my last job....and it is hard to find a job you like with all people you like.

What do you think about this customer service sign idea posted in front of the store on a window?Customers who complain are our best freinds because it helps us to improve our business.I use to work in a department store myself and would it be better to have that posted in the breakroom not in front of the public eye?

My son has just turned 15 and is a lovely natured boy but has learning difficulties. He gets on well with most people. Does anybody know if he is too young to be employed by a supermarket or shop part time? I know UK employment law seems to change frequently. He would love the chance to earn some money, but isn't confident in being out and about as in a paper round. With the disability discrimination act in place do you think this will help him to find work?

I am a recent college grad working as a secretary in a college academic department. This allows me the chance to get free grad school and I am currently working toward an MBA. My concern is that once I have my MBA in about 2 years, I won't really have any valuable work experience to apply to jobs in the field, only work within a college administrative setting. Do you think this will put me at a disadvantage when I apply for jobs?

How's everyone doing? Ever since I started my new job 3 months ago, there's something that's been bothering me. I share an office with the same co-worker. We are both under the same title at the office, but the problem is: everytime there's a project to be done, he is always giving the project to my co-worker like if I don't exist. What should I do? I have more experience than this person, and also a degree which my co-worker doesn't have. I am already considering to get another job.
