3 weeks ago today, I emailed a great cover letter and my resume to a perspective employer. The following week I was called to come in that day for an interview with the owner of the company. The following day I sent a thank you letter expressing my interest in the position. The following week (last week) I made a call to follow up and asked the receptionist to please let the owner know I called. She mentioned that he is still interviewing. No problem. So now we are at week 3 to the day, but only 2 weeks since my actual interview. I want to keep calling each week until hopefully, they call me in for the 2nd interview of a 3 interview process. I have not received any correspondance or calls yet from the company. I have no idea where I stand or if I am still being considered as a candidate. I really want this job. Please advise. Thank you!

I have been a secretary for about 2 1/2 years in a small business, and got a job offer to be a medical assistant for a family practice doctor. It's a really big change and was just wondering what I can expect, and how I might be able to apply what I've learned at my current job to my new one. I know that there's not going to be a lower amount of stress, but what do I need to do to prepare? I have no medical experiance at all. Thanks for you opinions!

I am terrible at math. I dislike math. I dont like to do math. Math is my weakness. BUT MATH JOBS PAY WELL! ButI am lousy at those jobs.
The social arts such as history, politcal science, and sociology are the jobs or interests me and that i do well. But there is no money in those fields. Can you help me choose a high paying career career that doesnt involve math? Actor is only thing I can think of...but thats a long shot of making it.

I had two interviews, and I feel really good about the job. I feel 80% sure that they are interested in me. But its been 5 weeks since the original interview, 3 weeks since the last. I called the HR person last week, and she said she was hoping to have an answer for me by end of week (last friday). I'm dying to get out of my current job!! How soon should I call to follow up? Should I even call or should i just wait. She said they hired a temp for the position in the meantime... wtf?

I know that a lot of small businesses do not employ women if they can help it.. I can completely understand this... if the woman gets pregnant, you have to give her maternity leave thus having to pay her wages, and give her the job when she gets back.. and employ someone else to fill in for her too...
This is too costly and means that each time you have to train someone else ( training is very expensive) to cover for the woman until she comes back..
Women are better at certain jobs than men, but is it worth the effort and cost for small businesses. ( especially a firm that has 4-5 employees).
Thererfore should women be paid less because over the long term they are not as profitable as men, due to the length of time taken for maternity leave, etc ..
this is just a generalisation, but is true in most circumstances
