Ever since 911 attack, ALL govt agencies and most private companies have beefed up their security and are demaning some forms of security clearance for IT job applicants.

These creates problems for those who don't have clearance, and eliminates lot of opportunites makin' it that much harder to get a job.

I have no criminal record nor do I have any credit problems. How do I get this dog on scecurity clearance??? Is this one of those damnable catch 22 thing?

I worked in a law firm for almost nine months. I was doing my job and always there. I had good attendance and never had aproblem with any one about my work. The firm was expanding and all of a sudden on a friday I was called into a room with out recieving notice. I was being laid off. My bonus went out the window and no severence pay. I was paid only an extra week and that was that. They took this person that was there only 3 months with no legal experience to be in my position and they hired a paralegal. Then they said they could not afford to keep me. Is it me or was this legally wrong or at least a violation. I am depressed because at this time of year there arent really any good jobs as for what I am looking for. serious answers please. What are your opinions/advice.

Some say two weeks, some say you don't have too, some say it depends on how long you've been there. I would not mind giving two weeks except that I really don't want to work between Christmas and New Year's eve, and I'd like to have a week rest before starting another job...

What is the worst/most rude thing someone has said to you at your job??

I have several. I work at a steakhouse.

One time I was asking a man who happened to be foreign what I could get for him and he said something which I couldn't understand and I said, "excuse me sir?" and he goes "SHE CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING!!" with a very heavy accent, but I heard him that time. I thought it was so arrogant and rude of him to get mad at me because I, a native of this nation, could not understand him.

Another time was when these guys were leaving as I was coming in and they go "hey baby, look at that fine piece of ***"--I was so upset and embarrassed. It was very degrading.

Another time a guy came up to me and told me that one of our Hispanic bus boys had picked up their stuff while they left and went to the bathroom. He proceeded to call him a "taco-eater" to my face. I got so mad at him, I had to bite my tongue unless I wanted to be fired. What are y'alls experiences? :

I haven't worked in 5 years while I was a college student, but before that, I had 2 years retail sales experience, 1 of which I was an assistant manager.
So, I'm thinking of taking a year off after I graduate from college this month, and work in a retail setting in a supervisor type of position in order to save up money for graduate school.

Would it be a good idea to take some weekend courses on Management or Retail at a community college before applying for jobs, so that I CAN get a job. Because I'm concerned that my lack of employment in the past 5 years is gonna be a problem when looking for a job.
What do you think? Thanks for your opinions :-)

I was interviewing for a teaching job. The principal came in and watched me teach for 1 hour. He did not do this with the other people he interviewed and I did not get the job. Was it legal to watch me teach and not the other people?

I am taking a program to start my career being an MA. In the future (anytime in the next few years) I would like to continue my educationt towards a nursing degree. I was wondering first because of my one year of college and my classes taken to become an MA would that lessen the time needed for me to complete my RN? Also I heard that some hospitals pay to have people further their education. If I was hired by a major hospital can an MA have a hospital give a person that much money towards an education?

It would be a good idea to get a job where I can start working immediately. And I'm not yet 18, so that should be considered too. Thanks.
