Careers & Employment - January 2007

At several of my old jobs the Management changed. So now when I put them down on an application, who gives a reference. I mean they dont know me. How can they say whether I did or didnt work there??

By Michigan law does a company have to post a job (internally and/ or externally) or can a manager simply give the job to whomever they want without posting and seeking others who might have the skill set? This action screams discrimination to me.

I'm a finance major, but I'm only in my 2nd semester of college. Do you think I can get on a brokerage firm or something of that nature being so young?

your supervisor said to me when I called her that she can't talk to me and I would have to talk to Human Resources?? Why she can't talk to me?? Do you know why she said that and what does that imply if she said that?? The supervisor on the other hand said that the employment decision has been made and he can't comment on it when I asked him to reconsider.. Do you know what's going on and why the manager said she can't talk to me and ask me to talk to HR instead? But HR was not the one who decided to terminate my employment there, they would just go by what the manager and supervisor said, so how would HR know and why the manager told me to ask the HR??

I have to work as a guard, and I am dreading this. There is alot of standing around doing nothing. Any advice as to how I can keep my mind occupied?

I know, I know that I have to make sure that I do my job (mainly keep the peace, provide a presence, act as a deterrent, look for suspicious activity or individuals etc...) But there are long and tedious periods of just standing around while you glance at your clock every 5 minutes (in your mind you think it's 5 when actually only 1 minute has passe, after awhile you think 5 hours have passed when only 1 has...lol)

Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I was offered a position today that is "salary exempt." I'm not really sure what this means, can anyone explain?

I was given an hourly rate, and the job is 50 hours per week. Does that mean I'll be paid for 50 hours a week at this rate, regardless of how many hours I actually work?

There's also a shift differential, which confuses me more. And if I work more than three hours after 3pm, I get the differential, which is an additional $10 an hour, and an additional $12 if working the night shift. Any explanations?

I do not have experience selling insurance and I want to know if anybody has ever worked for them doing this. I will be working on commission if that is of any help.

Hello everyone, I'm in a really tough situation right now. I am 22 weeks pregnant and I'm supposed to be moving to another state within the next month or so. I have a good job with benefits (medical, dental, etc...) and paid maternity leave if I stay at least until March. I was trying to transfer with this same company to the other state but I haven't heard anything back from the three positions I applied for. If I move within the next month or so and have to start over I wonder can I find a good job while I'm pregnant? Also, I'll lose my paid maternity leave and be stuck with whatever they offer, if anything. I'm a good worker, still working full time but I know companies have a tendency to discriminate against pregnant women. How can I present myself as presentable when looking for a new job? Also I'm married but the insurance is in my name because my company offered a better insurance plan versus my husbands. Please help...especially if you've been here before. Thanks!

Iam used to a clean working environment, and a climate controlled plant, and I have been in manufacturing for well over ten years. The machine shop pays fifteen something to start out on second shift, the other is probably cleaner, but only about eleven an hour, I don't know what to do!

After 2 years of service, I was discharged because the company was "moving in a different direction." I pressed for more reasoning but was basically told that I wasn't a "good fit." I was given severance and I filed for unemployment. Now, I get a letter from unemployment stating that I need to attend an interview to discuss my discharge and misconduct. My interview is two weeks away, and I wasn't told about any misconduct. Should I be worried? IL state...

I need to find caregiver agencies in Los Angeles for my 92 year old great uncle. He needs someone who is there 24 hours (he usually has 2 people work 12-hour shifts) to assist him. These people need to speak English. Any agency that can give us multiple people for the 14 weekly shifts would be much appreciated. Also, if possible, do you know any agencies with many men? That would make this a lot easier. If you have recommendations on any agency from yourself or someone else, that could help too.

Thanks in advance. We'll try as many agencies as necessary before we find some good matches.
