Careers & Employment - October 2006

At my current job I work 30-40 hours a week and my manager has talked to me about going full time salary. I have to give him a figure tomorrow, but he was giving me a salary range which is based on what i work at 30hrs a week and not 40 hrs, and he told me I might work was many as 50 hours regularly and be on call for things I might need to take care of. =( If you go by my 40 hrs i make 70K a year, if you got by my 30 hrs i make 60K a year, he gave me a figure as low as 35k, and I really dont want to do that. In fact, I really think i should even get more because I have my college degree now and increasing responsabilities. I do not want to make less than what I'm making now, even with health benefits. I have to give him a figure by tomorrow, but I don't want to not have a job because "I'm too expensive for them", at the same time I've been looking for another job too. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

when i worked in a shop, a woman wanted a refund on a garden ornament she'd bought. But it was cemented in her garden!

another one asked me if i knew the name of the song they were playing on the radio this morning?( when i worked in a record store).

another one became really angry when i didn't know the title of the book she was thinking of- the info she gave me was 'it's a paperback'

I tried to work for a collections company and they called me and said the history didnt match and they couldnt offer. Do they all dig that deep?

I work in the I.T. department for this company, and I'm so afraid of this finance director because he's the CEO's son, and the future CEO. I deal with him all the time, and I'm so sick of it. I get panic whenever I have to deal with this guy. What's wrong with me? I'm trying to stay away from him as much as possible.. Am I doing the right thing? What should I do?

I was hired under 1099 instead of W2. At the time, I didn't know what it meant to be on 1099. Realized that I was taken for a bargain. Plus the employer told me to work hard or harder than others because I am making more money than anyone else in the project. Found out that to be false later on.

Now the project has been finished. He's offering me another project again on 1099 at a LOWER PAY RATE. Would you ever accept a 2nd project on 1099 on a lower rate than the 1st 1099 project?

Also is there anything you can do about not having been told about the repurcusion of being on 1099 by the employer at the time of interview?

I am thinking of majoring in finance, the only problem is that my local school where i want to go, Purdue, only offers a finance minor in the management building. This would mean i could major in something like accounting and minor in finance. The only way i could major in Finance is through the agricultural department. The major would be called Agricultural finance. What should i do, if i major in accounting or managment and minro in finance could i still become a banker or earn good money.

I've just decided that its time to move on from my job. However, I'm also planning to get pregnant in the next few months. I have a renal condition, and happen to know that my insurance coverage will cover me for everything I will need during my pregnancy, and even a transplant after that will be necessary. I'm afraid if I start job hunting now, I will A) not have as good insurance, and B) not be able to get pregnant until I've settled into the new company. What should I do???

I've heard that you may not be required by law to ask for annual leave for a job interview at another company.
Have already given a weeks notice and given the date and time, but they're asking me to use up my last allocated day left!
In which case I will probably run out and be very restricted as to what dates I can attend future interviews..

My question is, how easy or hard, would it be to lie on an application that I already have my degree and get away with it?
Do most employers really track down to see if you actually have an associates? Or do most employers treat it like a high school diploma and just not look into it?

Hi! Has anyone out there in Yahoo! Answers land ever done a course with Skills Train or indeed has enrolled on The Complete Accounts Professional - Line 50? Or are you already a qualified Bookkeeper?
I've just enrolled on the course which looks excellent, though hard work!
The course was quite expensive so I'm going to be on a tight budget for 3 years (!) but I'm hoping to get a better job at the end of it all!
What are your experiences?
