Tonya Tone is responsible for filling a vacant position at her firm. The position requires good interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to type, file, and travel on an as-needed basis. An applicant sits before her during an interview for the vacant position. Tonya is relatively confident that the applicant satisfies the first three criteria. However, Tonya is concerned about the fourth requirement traveling on an as-needed basis, because the applicant is bound to a wheelchair due to a muscular disorder which does not affect her cognitive skills or her use of her arms and hands.

What can you tell me about monster.com? I am wondering who pays for what in this service. I'm hoping to use it for finding a job. I see that account signup is free, but I want to know more. Since it isn't ACTUALLY for me, I didn't want to put all of my info in just to find out some details.

Cost to the job seeker?
Ease of resume building
Ability/ease of uploading a resume and what format would it need to be saved in.

whatever you can tell me.
thanks

Here is the deal. I work for a large home improvement type store as an Assistant Store director. My scheduled hours per week are supposed to be 55-60. Routinely I am called in or expected to stay later than scheduled and am being pressured into working 90+ hours a week. I know from time to time I should expect to work a bit extra...but this has been going on for MONTHS. My questions. 1) Is this legal? 2) At what point does it become illegal for my employer to work me this much? (ie hours) 3) Am I screwed and just have to bend over and take it to stay employed? Thanks and only qualified answers (ie you work or worked for DOL or wage and hour) PLEASE! Thanks.

So, this is something that I have wondered about for a long time. It seems to me that more and more employers nowadays (including the company I work for) are turning down fresh college grads in favor of those that may not have any education, but have tons of experience doing a particular job.

I was out of college a long time ago, but now that I am starting to deal more with hiring and HR in my daily job duties, I would like to know something... what do you think is more important to look at, actual day-to-day experience doing the job (even if a candidate lacks formal education) or formal education with little experience other than (sometimes) a one-semester internship??

Is this unfair to young college grads? Or, does it just even out the playing field for those that weren't lucky enough to go to college?

I have had to juggle two jobs where I work - that of IT Trainer and Secretary to a solicitor. This solicitor made it plain he didn't like me training others. I know I shouldn't, but I managed to see some emails he'd sent about me to Personnel which were defamatory and untrue. What can I do? I really shouldn't have seen these emails but I feel they could be the reason that I have been overlooked for more senior training roles in the company. Help!

I am considering applying to the World Bank for a job as an Admin Asst./ Secretary but wonder if I really should. I have an M.A. and would like a job more suitable to more qualifications, ability and experience. But it is the World Bank after all, and it could open a lot of doors professionally. I just wonder if I should consider a less prestigious, but still highly reputable, organization (there are lots of those in DC) that would offer greater professional advancement.

Let me know what you think!

I have a degree in Business Management/Marketing, but hate sitting in an office all day. I also sold media for Raycom Media (WOIO/WUAB). The job was very lucrative and I functioned well in that capacity, however it was to much pressure and I was never home (family is important to me.) I went to school for teaching, but after a year I decided that the job market and salary would not meet my needs. I am very artistic. I love to draw, read, write, decorate my home and bake. I enjoy helping and taking care of others when they are sick or listening when they need advice. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and although I know nothing about automobiles, I have no problem opening up the hood and trying to figure out what is going on (my husband does not appreciate this). I really like to garden and plant flowers. I get bored easily and enjoy variety. Unfortunately, most of the jobs that I would like do not pay very well. Most people do not understand why I would rather make $5/hr deliveri

I am trying to apply for jobs in the customer service field and I had a internet resume company give me an evaluation on my current resume. They came back and told me that I used the words "I and Me" to much in the objective and that I needed to change it up a bit. At first, I thought to myself that they were just criticizing it because they wanted me to pay $200.00 to get one done with them professionally, but after a weeks of searching for a job and getting no response from any employers (I've applied for about 100 jobs and I have four years experience in the customer service field), I am starting to wonder. Can anyone help me?

Some companies require that you wear their 'shirt' not literally but I mean act this way - walk that way - comment this way and actually give up your personality and start imitating the boss. If you don't imitate the boss they treat you as if you do not 'like' them. Any ideas ?

I was recently fired from my job because I wore a pair of pants to work instead of a skirt. There is no dress code at my job but my boss and personally whispered in my ear that he prefers to see my "pretty legs in a skirt".

And to add insult to inury not only did he fire me he also beat me repeadly with his personal collection of whips and chains . Is there anyone that I can report this to? I dont think that it is fair that I get fired just because I didn't feel like wearing a skirt. This is my first job and I really need the money. Thanks
