send a follow up e-mail to a potential employer that I haven't heard from yet?

I have had two interviews and an interview project for this job with a nonprofit organization. I really want the job, think it sounds really interesting, different etc. After the second interview, I sent a thank you e-mail to the person who interviewed me. (He was an executive with the organization.) About a week later I sent a follow up e-mail to the person who first interviewed me. She said that they'd be making their final decision soon and that I should be hearing from them by the middle of this week. I've waited on pins and needles this week but haven't heard anything! Am I out of luck? Should I send one more e-mail (maybe to my second interviewer) asking if the position has been filled? Please advise. Thanks so much.

I moved out on my own about 5 months ago to live with my girlfriend and her daughter. Just got into a leagal matter that i'm sure will demand more money than i can make at my job alone. My girlfriend is currently not working for other reasons but does recieve child support from the babys father. Unfortunatly, with the combined money, we wont be able to afford the apt. I would like to find out if anyone could suggest a "legit" work-at-home business that would help increase our income that my girlfriend could do. She has done clerical managment before and a good typist. Any Info would be appreciated. Northern New Jersey area or non-geographic

If you have two interviews scheduled on the same day, but haven't set a time for either, do you tell each prospective employer that you have another interview that day? This is in case both want to do a morning or afternoon meeting.

I am a college student and want to have a great resume to show future employers. However, I've had the same job for 5 years so my resume looks very sparse. Even with the other activities and skills I've gotten in school it is still less than a page. What other stuff can I do to it to make it seem more impressive?

I live in an up-to-date area with many shops and businesses. I have worked at one job for almost 2 years; however, I am absolutely sick of it. It is a terrible job with no benefits or anything. My girlfriend is in need of a new job as well. We both are extremely close and would like to find a job where we could work together. I know we would have to keep it under wraps, but I would love it. Could anyone tell me some places that this would be possible at?

I was fired over the phone by my boss today because yesterday I asked for a raise of pay.. He has been has been helping me pay my school fee for college and i work with the company part-time because he says iam brilliant at my job. I having been working for nearly a year and the pay that i receive is less than minimum wage but because he is helping me with schooling i accept it. I have asked for a raise of pay b4 but was turned down beacuse he said i was not grateful for what he was doing for me. I have expenses to pay while i attend school, so i really needed the money. When i fired me he said that i do not express enough appreciation for the help i receive and by complaining about my salary i was showing ungratefulness, and that most people that are receiving such a favor would even work for free, but i complain. I asked him to consider giving me back my job and he said he will. I want to know if he gives me another chance if i should accept it. Please answer, iam so confused.

I work at this firm. I have been working there for 2 months! Its an internship. So far I am not getting the experiece that I was told. The traning sturcutre was so unorganized, has a slow-paced work environment and the office is fully staffed so on some days I don't even have a desk where I can do some work. On top of that the staff is kind of unfriendly. They have thier own little converstaions. When I make a comment or try to make a coverstaions they either ignore it or just nod and then start working. I don't know why I can't get along with these people. I've held my patients and I keep smililng. I ask about thier weekends and stuff but its like a one syllable answer. I am pretty normal person. I can strike up a conversation with a stranger or a random classmate. I talked so much at my last job that we couldn't even get work done. At this job they don't even make small converstaions with me or ask me about my weekends/days etc. What do I do? Anyone else with same problem?

I just recently obtained a second job (part-time, retail). I have only been there less than 2 weeks, put simply I just don't feel like working there ( miss my free time). I do have a full-time job so there are no money worries, what I would like to know is how should I let them know I would like to quit. Call them or speak to them in person. I know it's standard to give a 2 weeks notice, but I've haven't been there that long. Any suggestion would be helpful.

My boyfriend graduated college a year ago and is still looking for the perfect career. He has a degree in Criminal Justice, but is looking for a Social-Services type job (without the Sociology degree,seeing most of his CJ classes WERE Sociology -- our college split the program up during his last year, it was a combined program).

The job he wants is something along the line of what the Better Business Bureau does -- keeps companies or people from scamming other people. A "Truth in Advertising" sort of job, or "Consumer protection." We are unsure of what this type of job would be called so he can actually apply for it. Does anyone have any idea? Details would be appreciated!

its a site called " myworkisfree"(dot com) and it claims to set up 300 pages w/ adsense content . All you pay is like a $10 hosting fee and I think the incentive is the commissions to "this person" from google and the hosting site. What do you think? Sound Legit or scam?
