The reality is that I'm forced to finish up my job to become a full time carer for my disabled wife.
My employer requires me to work a 4 week notice period if I resign, but I can't really do that as my wife needs me now, not in 4 weeks time.
What would be the consequences if I just turned up one day and said "Here's my ID tag, locker key and car pass. I won't be back in again because my wifes needs are greater than the company's"?

My husband has been trying to go to college off and on since graduating high school, he has no idea what he wants to study and hasn't been able to complete many credits. He is 27 years old and we have 3 children. He has experience in meat cutting, home remodeling, working on cars, working in a machine shop, etc. In my opinion he's not a college kind of guy. But he wants to be able to be his own boss and he's convinced he needs a degree. I'm prepared to go to work full-time if he wants to attempt school again, but I feel like he has to prove it will be worth it before I make the sacrifice (our kids are young, 3 months to 3 1/2 years). What do you think we should do to get on track so my husband can have a career and we can have a good future? Should I encourage school or suggest a more blue collar career, like helping run his parent's deli or flipping houses for a living?

Post offices used to do it-you could just bring in your documents and a post master would make the copy, and stamp it as certified. However not sure who does it now except for judges/lawyers etc..inconvenient and expensive. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I havea coworker who has started acting bossy nowadays. (She hopes to get promoted to manager). I usually have no qualms taking on a request or two from her if she's busy. But now, she's started delegating most of the incoming stuff to others. I know it bothers a couple other people too, but not all are complaining. I don't like being bossed by her. What's the best way to deal with it? Tell her or tell her boss?

I desperately need career advice, please! I currently have a B.S. in Psychology. I would like to get Master's degree someday, but probably not a Ph.D. I would like to have a job where I can help people and "make a difference", but I'm a bit squeamish and don't really like the idea of seeing blood, vomit, etc. while on the job. Money isn't the most important factor for me, but I would like a job where I can make at least a decent living. Some careers I've considered before include:

1) Speech-language pathologist
2) ESOL, Special Ed, or preschool teacher
3) Occupational therapist
4) Mental health, career, or school counselor
5) School psychologist
6) Industrial/organizational psychologist
7) Environmental scientist
8) Sonographer/ultrasound technician
9) Baby or women's health nurse (maybe...)

Does anyone have any opinions on the above careers? Or, does anyone have any other suggestions for careers? Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

I tend to ask about three to four questions. Is this too much? I am usually very interested..so I don't think it would deter the interview. However, sometimes..I feel the interviewer might be rushing you to end the interview. This may happen on phone or in person interviews. Let me know your experiences or opinions. Thanks.

Any ideas on how to best approach my job search in Portland.

Anything will be helpful.

I had a psychometric test and an initial interview today for a job I really, really want. The interview went well, but I think I did really badly in the psychometric testing, and I screwed up a really important question. I have to wait a week to find out if I have been selected to go on to the next set of interviews. I know if I get the interview I can get the job, but I am really worried about the psychometric test. What are my chances of getting the interview?

I am human resources. Guess we all get it. I have a independant contrator who has been cussing and screaming nasty things to me everytime he talks to me for the last month. I never say anything rude back I take it. But this time he called me a stinky cu@! I have been here 10 years. My bosses dont want to loose him due to political issues. But I am humilated and very dishearted that they wont back me. I dont care who he is, he has no right!

What would you do?

I have been offered an excellent and higher paying job at another company. I like my current place but pay difference is too great to turn down. When I explained this - my boss gave me a counter-offer that is equal to 50% of the pay difference.

I have heard that if you give your termination notice, and the current company makes you a counter offer which you accept (and stay) - it is something like 75% certain you will be gone (either quit again or get fired) from that company within 3-4 months. Has anyone heard anything like this?? If I decide to stay - what is the likelyhood I will leave (quit/get fired) int he next few months anyway???

I work for the federal courts as a case manager and a local big law firm is offering a lot more money to work as a paralegal. The benefits are great and they have MORE opportunities for advancement.
