I asked my old boss if I could use her as a refference and she said its against company policy, and that they have to contact a 800 number. Is this true? She als said she is not allowed to give out recomendation letters.
I voluntarily quit because I was being harrassed. Does that have something to do with it?

I have been researching around here and most people believe that pharmacy is the way to go. I was wondering if there's a great amount of math in pharmacy because Im mediocre at it. I also would like to know what are the main challenges in pursuing to become a pharmacist (subjects). Knowledge wise which needs more rigorous studying? Also any suggestions on what other medical fields I should research on. Thanks alot!

I am a print journalism student in my junior year at college and I have to do an internship for Fall 2007, but I can't drive, and so I found out that there is a newspaper office on the bus route for this college. I called the newspaper office and the woman told me to email her. I emailed her my resume, and trying to be honest I wrote a message that said I do not really want to get a job working for a newspaper when I graduate because I am only good at writing and copy editing, but that I just need an internship and asking if they could offer me one. The next day she emailed me back and the message was just "no thanks" with her contact info underneath it. But she gave no reason why, no suggestions, nothing. So why was I denied an internship? Was it my resume? was it because of the message I wrote? I would like to know why because there is really nowhere else on the bus route where I can get an internship if I don't get one there. And I need an internship for Fall 2007!!! What do I do?

I attended a university for four years but did not earn a degree. I majored in electrical engineering but I was a mediocre student. I missed graduation by .1 of a gpa point. I'm completely lost in my career path now and Im not sure what to do with my past education. Its pretty hard to show my face back at the university now. Also im not very sure if EE would be a career path im willing to take.

I am currently searching for a new job and am concerned because my financial stability will only sustain me through the end of this month. I am curious if anyone know how long it takes after submitting a resume to typically receive a response back if the hiring company is interested in your resume. I am not sitting around waiting for anyone, being that I am continuing my job search, but I am still curious, as I have sent out almost fifty resumes and have not gotten a response in the past week and a half....it's just a little frustrating.

I am just curious, because at my work, they do not give us breaks sometimes, or they will interrupt our break and tell us to come back in! Also, they ALWAYS make us stay later than we were scheduled (so...that means we work over 5 hours, because that is how many hours every minor is scheduled on a school night, if not more).

I left my old job of 7 months a month ago to accept a new job that I thought was align with my skills. However it was NOT!! There was alot I learned I would be doing once I took the job
My previous job was less money, however, I could apply for other jobs in another dept for more money after being there for a while. I am thinking of calling or emailing my former manager and asking her for my job back
What you think? I dont know exactly how to word it to her

My older job I felt 100% confrontable with the duties, less stress no weekends or night work

How do you answer that question without saying a salary too high and therefore immediately excluding yourself from the position. Or too low and not getting paid what you feel like you are worth.

After a very long interview and security process, I was hired on February 27th to become the Business Development Director for a division of a $300 million company. On April 27th I was informed that I was being terminated due to bad sales performance by the division for the previous 6 quarters. In the interview process and throughout I was never informed as to the condition of the division and all financials are reported on a corporate level rather than by division. I gave up two other offers to work for this company. They have offered severance and to pay for two months Cobra. Is this a wrongful termination? What should I expect by way of severance? I believe they should be liable for at least a year's salary due to their misrepresentation of their financial position ("we have $200 milllion in the bank") and the fact that I gave up two very good opportunities to work for other companies based on their misrepresentation. Should I seek a lawyer or take what they offer?

I have a new boss. Last night I emailed him that I was meeting with my old boss today (not the guy New Boss replaced, but someone I worked for a long time ago in an entirely different job) to pursue some business for our company. Old Boss is very wealthy, powerful and a well known name in our town. New Boss, who is usually very email-chatty, never replied and hasn't emailed me all day. He also never asked how the meeting went - unusual for him. New Boss is nice, but pretty young, and has never managed my position before. I'm thinking he's either jealous of Old Boss, suspicious that I'm hitting Old Boss up for a job (I'm not - he was an ogre to work for), or just feels weird that I worked for a heavy hitter like that and I may be judging him unfavorably in comparison. Or am I reading way too much into it and need to chill? New Boss doesn't seem to be petty or insecure, but today felt weird. Thoughts?

Recently, I turned down a job offer that meant more money (25-30%) and a promotion. I turned it down partly because it sounded like more hours (I have small kids) and I already have a good job. I understand all this, however, it is eating me inside and am regretting it. The company has moved on and hired someone else. I feel like I may not get another such opportunity. How do you get over something like this?

On april 11 I had an interview that went well. The day after the interview I mailed thank you letters. They said in two weeks they'd start calling. I called them after two weeks and was told that they were backlogged and it'd be another week. Tomorrow is the end of that week. Should I send this email...

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the interview team again for speaking with me on April 11 about the _______ position at ______. I am looking forward to hearing from you regarding this opportunity again.

Thank you!

Sincerely,


If I send it am I "keeping myself in front of them" or am I just being annoying???

I want the job, but I'm getting tired of waiting. I feel like I should remind them that I am here waiting, but I also don't want them to think I'm annoying...

April 11 I had a job interview that I felt went well. They said it would be around 2 weeks before they called anyone. The day after the interview I mailed thank you letters to my interviewers. After two weeks and one day I called and spoke with the HR person who interviewed me and she indicated that they had gotten back logged and said it might be another week or so before calls went out. Tomorrow would be the end of that third week. I'm anxious and am tired of waiting, but I understand there isn't much I can do. Would it be a good idea to send an email to my interviewers just saying thank you again? I thought about saying something like "Thank you for taking the time to interview me, and I look forward to speaking to you about this opportunity again."

Good/bad? Help!

I worked at a day care and recently was fired. The reason I was given was due to complaints from a parent and their child leaving the daycare. There was a certain teacher who had said things regarding me many times before and I had brought this to my supervisor. The day these parents removed their kid the same teacher had been talking to them about me. She has accused me of not taking proper care of the children and basically not doing my job. I have never received a single negative review and the director had even talked to me about becoming the assistant director. I am now sitting without a job and the reason for being let go will for sure keep me from getting other jobs with kids. Is there ground for lawsuit against the daycare or the teacher who was talking about me?? Any advice.

I had what I had considered the best job in my life and then some politics happened whiched caused me to leave. I found a job makin more money, very long term and a place i can be conmfortable. I was recently asked by my old company to come back with a promotion, increase in pay from what i am making now and at the position, title and responsibilities i wanted in the first place. It is not as stable business as the one I am in but i did like it alot.
Would it be reasonable to go back? I have been at this new company for about 6 months now and seem to be wanted here, just not sure how much higher they will go on the pay scale.
