This particular company offered me the job if I gave less than a two week notice to my current employer -

I told them No and they hired someone else- what's up with that?

I think it would be an interesting career. I have heard of people working from home doing this. Are there schools to attend? Do you learn about it on line? What credentials are required?

Can an employeer have a 40 hour a week employee who is on salary work like that? He should at least be paying overtime, right?

I like to think of myself as successful academically. I've earned my journalism degree magna *** laude, but left the field because of the money. I earned a paralegal certificate with honors, but it's been a year since I've been able to use it. I never thought I'd feel this way, but my disability (I stutter) I feel is preventing me from getting employment.

I respect that attorneys want to make money, but I'm also seeing why people don't like them either. I know it's a business like anything else. I have continually been turned down for entry-level paralegal positions. I'm a fighter, and refuse to back down. I really don't want to make another career change, because I'm 29, and feel worthless. There's times I want to get loaded and drink myself to oblivion.

It's funny, people who have asked have said I should sue. As much as I'd love to, it doesn't help me. I want to work and earn a living like everyone else does. Sometimes I wish I was born deaf or paralyzed instead.

Any views?

My little brother is interested in becoming a Mormon missionary but he is not sure of the commission structure. He figures that you would have to deal with a lot of rejection since most people are already members of a church. He has been practicing every day in the mirror though. If you get a base salary plus commission he might want to consider this. I can't find anything on the Internet about this for him though. Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

Im 23 and in the midst of a job hunt. I have held an office-desk job twice already and have decided to find something more exciting. My degree was in Management.

Besides monster.com, craigslist.org, careerbuilder.com and hotjobs.com, is there another site you can recommend (and one without temp agency listings)? I live in NYC.

Any help will be greatly appreciative, thanks

I am considering going back to school to become a nurse practitioner (a Masters program that allows non-nurses to get their RN and then MSN) or going to a Physicians Assistant program, also a Masters. I think I can get into the NP program but iffy on my chances of getting into the PA program. Does anybody have advice on which direction I should choose and why? I am looking at Wisconsin's Marquette's Graduate School of Nursing and a PA program in Illinois at Rosalind Franklin University. Anybody familiar with either of those programs? I see a lot of jobs overlapping for PA or NP but I want to be respected by MD's/DO's and I am not sure how they feel about NP's over PA's. Thanks for your input.
(By the way, my over GPA is a 3.1 and my science GPA is a 3.3) I have not taken the GRE yet.

Should I bring it up with supervisor or just quit? To request a raise now almost seems like extortion. I can easily find another job for same money and less stress!

I'm always skeptical of filling out the affirmative action form, because I feel it waves a sign that says "DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ME PLEASE" :\ Does anyone know the reality of these EEO sections of employment applications. Should everyone just be putting "other" so they don't get discriminated against?

I have been working with this company for 1 month 11 days. It is a good company and I enjoy it, despite the expected stressful times. In this period, I have only asked off for 1.5---1/2 day to come back on a Monday after being gone 3 hours away helping my mother-in-law move across town and my boss was fine with that, I made it back by 3:00pm; the 2nd day was to go to a new student orientation at a university and my boss got antsy about it. Coming up July 16-19, my sister has her last cheerleading competition, she's a senior, 3 hours away. I want to go Mon & Thurs and will work Tues, Wed, & Fri. Our business nature is bidding so you never know when a deadline is due. I am executive assistant to the owner and I believe he will give me trouble about this. How and when should I approach him on this matter? He will be out of the office the next week. Seeing my sister this last summer is very important to me!!!

I'm curious. I'm trying to get my friend a job here @ work, she already had an interview, both of my bosses really liked her. I'm only referring her because I know she's a really good worker. She was the first person to interview, & the other person didn't show up. So my boss requested from HR for 2 more candidates to interview. Today were the interviews, only one of the people showed up. My boss called HR again explaining that the other person didn't show up & requested AGAIN for 2 more candidates to interview asap. I don't get why he needs 2 more people to interview. He even asked me the other day about my friend if she was still interested & I told him she was & she's just waiting right now. He told me that if it was his company he would've hired her already, it's just that he can't just interview 1 person that's why he requested to interview other people. He's already asked me a couple times about my friend. I know they liked her. It's been 2 weeks since the interview.

I have two jobs coming up, and I want to know what the reasonable charge is. In a of couple days, I'm babysitting a 2-month old baby and and 1 1/2 year old girl. There hasn't been any talk of how much the parents are willing to pay, and as they are good family friends, I don't want to overcharge or seem greedy. What is a reasonable price that I should ask for?

The second job is in about a month, and I'm going to be baby-sitting a fairly large group of kids (not siblings), ranging from 2 months to seven years old. The parents are offering me $50, and I am wondering if that is a fair amount to be paid, considering how many kids I'm going to be watching for at least three hours. And, as it is a church group for married couples (I'm watching their kids), I'm liable to taxation on whatever amount I get, because I have to fill out a certain form from the church. That's a lesser concern. I just need to know the reasonable prices for each of these situations and why.

Thanks.

I went to a second interview for a graduate accounting job and was made a job offer the same day... I received a letter the next day with the job offer stating it will start in August and of the salary... they wanted a written decision which I sent.

How long do I have to wait until I sign contracts or will that be something done when i actually start? I've handed in my notice into my current job already...

I want to be a police officer. The only thing I'm concerned about is my employment history and how much I've moved around in the past, though. It might come off as unreliable, I have moved back and forth 4 times between here and the southwest, and I've had a couple jobs where I didn't give any notice and just quit. I want to leave these details out of an application. Do they check to see where you've had a driver's license and where you've filed a W4?

I said that was fine and went on about my business...About a hour later I went back into the physician lounge to grab a soda and was talking to one of the painters about the work that was being done...Let me say this, there were 4 ppl in the lounge.

I have come up with two ways to get money:
1) I'm going to try and get a job (pay will most likely be minimum wage)

2) I've been invited to a science seminar thing (pay is about $30 per day for three days)

If I get a job, I can't go to the science thing because it is required for me to stay over there for three nights.
If I go to the science thing, it would interfere with my job (if I get one).

What should I do?
