my guy did an apprenticeship with an engineering firm which he is still working for. he finshed his apprentice ship in the summer and they wont put him up to full wage even though he has more qualifications that most of the old boys working in there ( he is currently on more than minimum for his age, but is on about £3.00/Hr less than everyone else). i know its a lot to do with experience. but he is a hard worker and punches out more jobs than most of the whole team put together. what can he do to make the bosses see sense?

Its a family run company and its very clicky. but he is reluctant to leave because all his friends are there and stuff, and there isnt much work nearby in this field due to the fact he doesnt drive.

Help?

consider seriously both pros and cons, as if you might be stuck doing it the rest of your life.

i am currently looking for a job in the office industry. positions such as clerical, office assistant, receptionist, but i do not have experience in these areas. I cannot go directly to a Company and apply because what they need are the only experienced ones. So i went to 6 employment agencies(apple one, resource staff, office team, key-personnel, adecco, o'brien) because i thought they could help me get my dream career, ive gone through interviews, computer exams, and drug tests, BUT all they did was kept me hangin, like im wating for nothing. Everytime i call them for follow-up, they always tell me to just wait for their damn call. So, what do you think of them?

Ladies, as moms with children, how can we overcome the glass ceiling and still be there for our children when they need us?

It's a man's world out there, so how do we convince them we're there for the employer? Epsecially if the co-worker does not take time off from work and does a great job?

I'm getting tired of listening to people bi+ch at me at work. I'm in customer service. It pays really well and I'm in major debt so I need the money. But I'm so misreable going to work. Plus the hours are from 5-1am and it's starting to really drain me. Days aren't busy where I work and there's only one day shift in my department and it's taken by someone who's been there for 30 years so there's no way I can switch to day shifts. What should I do?

It's just a minor position as an office busy bee. Data entry, filing, answering phones, and such. I've had three jobs, but they were years ago and I didn't have to interview for them. But like I said, I haven't worked in awhile and my resume is far from being top-notched. So although i'm pretty enthused about tomorrow, I am also pretty nervous. I have a nice pair of slacks and a buttondown shirt laid out, and I am ready with my big smille and firm handshakes. I guess they'll ask me to talk about myself and my good/bad qualities.

What else can I expect and what are good things to say?

Person A is always there and is always available to get the deadlines completed, but is a single male that never takes time off from work.

Person B has small children, is a great worker when at work, but several times a year will leave to take care of emergencies at home such as a sick child.

In this scenario, A promotion is coming up, which person will get the promotion?

(Just so you know, I believe that gender should not be a factor, but this is one of the reasons why men get further in the corporate ladder than women - by the way, I'm female).

As women, how do we overcome the glass ceiling when we are the ones to always take care of the sick kids? How can we compete against a single person in the quest for the upper rungs of the corporate ladder?
