I have several years experience in the hospitality industry where I planned and coordinated many events. I would love to do this on a contract basis for different companies or groups where I could travel to the different events.

I have a friend who has been working for a company in California since this past September. She has been working at two separate positions for this company (She works 20 hours at one position and 20 hours at the other totaling 40 hours per week). According to her company policies, she has nearly worked long enough at this company to become eligible for medical and dental benefits. However, when she approached her supervisor about this, she said that she was ineligible for these benefits because the company does not view her as a full-time associate. The company views her as working two part-time positions for two different branches of the company. My friend is positive that she is working under the same branch and is flustered. Is there a California/Federal labor law she can show to her company, or is she out of luck?

A & F store in California? How many times per week & hours are part time workers required to work at A & F?

I have sinus tach, of an unspecified (but heavily investigated by top cardiologists in South Texas) variety. It only effects me, day to day, when I try and jog a mile, or do a lot of heavy drinking/recreational drug use (hence the reason I haven't done either since high school, 6 years ago).

I'm curious how closely most units will look at this? I'm still very physically capable, I work in a warehouse and lift a tremendous amount of weight, from day to day (and I mean tremendous, on average I'll move, by hand, of two tons of material a day, 55-75lbs at a time).

Having said that, I don't have much problems with adrenaline. As anyone familiar with sinus tach will tell you, adrenaline is your worst enemy, but the times I've assisted in saving someones life (burning car wrecks, grand mal siesures, gun shots, et cetera - I used to live in a, shall we say, interesting area), it was never a problem. I just don't want to invest the time/money into a futile pursuit.

I am currently a firefighter in a small town and don't make much money. My ex-wife left me in debt up to my eyeballs. I don't see my kid but once a year. The army has given me a oportunity to pay off my debt and go back in as a E-5. I need good helpful opinions. Should I stick it out and stay with this dept and hopefully move on to a larger dept or take the military route?

I finally stood up to management at my job after 5 years on Saturday. I went to work today and they told me they were sending me home and that I was not to return to work until HR made a decision. They constantly harass me and I finally told them where I stood with them. I work very hard, it seems the ones that do nothing at work and call off constantly are the ones that get respect. It is very frustrating. Also, does anyone know if you can receive unemployment compensation when you are fired or resign from a job?
Thank you

I am having a great deal of trouble finding a job mostly because I don't really know what I want to do. I have a B.A. in Criminology but am no longer interested in the criminal justice field. I am also very creative. I design handbags and do interior design projects like painting and laying flooring. What should I do? Any advice on changing careers or searching for interesting jobs? I live in NYC and have searched newspapers and online and nothing seems to catch my eye! I need to find a job because the boredom is killing me as are the empty pockets! What should I do?

I'm from sunny Southern California flying to upstate New York for an interview. I checked the weather there and the temperature is unbearably cold to someone accustomed to nice weather. I have to dress to impress but what should I wear OVER the slacks and blouse? Would a nice long coat really protect me from 7 degree temperature? Any tips?
