Careers & Employment - January 2007

Is it proper to ask about the job requirements - specifically, the hours - before the interview? I don't want to waste anyone's time if they are hiring for a shift I cannot work. What is most acceptable?

I have been offered a job as a customer service rep with Nordstrom and with another company as well. I am very concerned about making the "right" decision as to which company to choose. Can you please tell me specifically what you like/dislike about working at Nordstrom? Any pros and cons would be helpful in getting the "inside scoop" before I make the commitment. Thanks!

(The pay and non-monetary compensation are about the same between Nordstrom and Company X-it's mostly the corporate culture and how they treat their employees that I am interested in. But once again, ANY feedback would be appreciated!)

I'm looking for some ideas. I have a wife and a child and I'm looking for a good career. I know that you almost have to get some kind of degree to get a good job. So what's out there that won't take for ever, as far as getting a degree goes? I'm looking for a stable job that only pays decent but is rewarding in of itself.

There is a girl at work that is doing everything she can to get me in trouble. This is includes making false accusations and getting HR involved. I fear that a few things I have done are against policy, however I do this for everyone and feel that everyone in the company does the same thing. What am going to do? I am so aggravated and under so much pressure. She has told several people she's out to get me, and that she hates me. I am in upper managment and she is too, just at a different location. I am so FRUSTRATED.. I don't feel anything I do is any different then my other managers. Please HELP!... Should I find a new job? If so, she would win and I don't want that, but this has been going on for 2 years now, and I don't know how much more I can handle.

thanks!!!!

I am dating a girl with a felony conviction for dealing drugs. The type of work I do requires extensive background checks to obtain security clearance to work in and around airports all over the country and internationally. By marrying her, will this affect my being able to pass a background check?

that employers use to check past employers comments, dates of employment, etc.? I think I'm being sabotaged by a former employer. Do I have legal recourse if I am correct ? What is the law? Does it differ from one state to another?
