I am filling out an application for a job with a global company, and have an interview scheduled for next week. I spoke to the recruiter on two occasions where desired compensation was brought up. She estimated that the pay would be in the low 40s I previously worked for a small company and was making $48,000 plus $1000 bonus quarterly (when my boss was feeling generous). She mentioned that usually, one of the requirements for the position would be at least one year experience doing a very similar thing. I think she was lowballing me, but whatever....

I know I can contribute way more to this position than someone with one year experience doing it, but I am saving that discussion for the interview. The pay she described is fine for me as a starting point, really, b/c of the benefits and annual bonus.

Should I put "negligible" on the application or an actual amount?

My question is, should I put "negligible" on the application?

I've had a series of jobs and after a while it seems like people start to disrespect me and stop taking me seriously. I am a very good employee, smart and I work hard, but for some reaon I have never been given any promotions at any jobs I've had and after a while I just get so frustrated that I end up very negative at work and end up quitting. I'm too old to keep quitting my jobs, so what am I doing wrong? What do I need to do for people to start taking me seriously?

enough and you don't get full time but still your hours and days are spread around different. I don't have a degree or anything so I'm stuck with unskilled jobs such as retail and no transport except walking and the bus and on top of that live in a bad area and can't be out alone at night so therefore can't go out to work overnight or anything. I generally work early afternoon till 10 or so and thave to take a taxi which is expensive. I have to work on weekends and have a job that does not tolerate any lateness or excuse because of another job even though I am considered part time and I have to put this job first since I have been there a while and have some benefits. I also have a child who doesn't live with me and I need a day a week to spend with her and also have social life time. There are alot of stores in my area but just like the one I work in they want people who work eves and weekends which I'm already doing at my other job. Any ideas on how to make some money?

We recently got a new manager at my job. One of my co-workers, who is definitely a troublemaker, is constantly making snide comments and trying to get her in trouble. She pretends to be nice to the manager. There have been other instances where she has backstabbed people and told lies too (said they were racist etc).

Do I tell the manger to watch her back?

In a couple weeks I will be working in a call center. I'm afraid of being improperly dressed (whether it be under-dressed or over-dressed). Obviously we will not be meeting face-to-face with customers, but there still probably is some sort of dress code to keep employees looking and acting professional. Can anyone who has worked or currently works in a call center tell me what kind of attire is suitable for this job? Thanks!

So, when this company contacted me over the phone to offer me a job interview, they told me to ask for Mr. X the day of the interview, because he was going to do the interview. I went to the interview, and after it, I wanted to e-mail him a follow-up letter. However, I remembered that the man who interviewed me never introduced himself. I guess he forgot and I also forgot to ask him. I just assumed he was Mr. X.

Now I’m in a dilemma. Should I send the follow-up letter to Mr. X, even if I’m not completely sure he was the one? Or should I call the company and ask for the name -if so, how should I do this?

PLEASE, any good idea will be appreciated.

Our nearly 14 year old homeschooled son wants to become a lawyer. I think by 15 or so he should be interning or volunteering or otherwise working with a lawyer/law firm, but don't know how to arrange this. I don't know how to suggest he arrange it, either.
He reads constantly, history, politics, law, military history, and philosophy mostly. He's also in homeschool theater, getting lots of
What should he/we be doing to get him on track for applying to college for 'pre-law' goals?
Thanks so much for your time.

I was hired by the contractor to build fences and decks for his landscaping company. I am not a licensed contractor, nor did I make any claim to be. He has refused to pay for all the authorized extra work due to changes and additions to the originally planned deck. How do I recover the lost wages????

He comes almost everyday in the morning not even say good morning to us. His name is John Koechley and he used to be working in millitary before. He is never happy no matter how hard we try to do the best on our jobs. As long as I been working there I never heard the word:" Thank you". How I can make him understand that the way he is treats us is very wrong?

I'm 19 years old.
I want to get a job and live in an apartment and go to work everyday and not struggle. I'm an antisocial person and would only be in the house all the time.

What can I go about starting this process?

Please do not offer words about why this is wrong or what else I should to to "alleviate the problem". In your perception, it's a problem. I want what I want; not what you want. So please, if you can offer advice on what I want, please leave a suggestion. Thank you in advance.

I got an offer from an international growing investment management firm to work in their Tokyo branch for 4,500,000 YEN / year which equals to $38,000!! A big slap on the face considering the company is pretty reputable on Wall St.
I got another offer in one of the Big 4 accounting firms for $55,000 in the west coast. Which you were me, which one would you choose?

ps. if anyone knows the average salary in Tokyo for finance, that will be a very helpful information.

Ok, so I'm a teenager and this is my first job. Of all places, I work at the illustrious Burger King. As of right now, two months after getting hired, I hate my job. My general manager is a total yuppie and everyone I work with is some kind of social outcast who dropped out of school to have a kid. I'd like to think I'm the only person there who will graduate college and have an actual professional job, but who knows, maybe I'm just unhealthily smug.

Question is: After only working for two months, is the fact that my job makes my life miserable a good enough reason for quitting? I don't have another job lined up at the moment, but I could put in applications at quite a few places. Right now, the income isn't essential, but certainly helps. Would I have to use them for references -
all in all, do you think it looks bad to quit?

Thanks.
