If I do address the issue in an interview, can the prosopective employer call my previous employer and inquire about the specifics of my termination? Isn't is against the law for a previous employer to go into detail about a past employee?

I have been very fortunate to be able to stay at home & raise my children. Both my husband & I worked very hard so I can do this. I am 47 yrs. old and have been looking for a job. I just get so intimidated by all the computer skills required to get a decent job. I just don`t have any confidence in myself. I use to be a bank supervisor for 8 yrs. Then I worked for another co. up until I had my daughter. I am very attached to my children but they are now 17 & 15 yrs. old and I really need to get my own life. Are their any other Mothers that can sugest a decent starter job. Is there anyone that can give me some advise on how they got back into the working field? Please Help! Thank You:)

I have been working for this entertainment company for over 2 years now booking and signing in guests. This is a seasonal/part--time gig. I work like 2 weekends a month. I like this job but it's not a stable company-- people are being fired left and right. Plus, there is a lot of drama going on-- people talking about each other etc. Any how, I just got offered this other job as an Office Manager.. closer to home, better hours, pay, better enviornment but they want me to quit this other job. I am having a hard time with that-- I know it's a lousy company but I want to return there for other events plus I don't want to leave them hanging... I don't know what to do. Please help.

My husband has worked for a landscaping company for a little over a month now and he is salaried. Recently he took two days off sick. He finished the week and went in on saturday to make up for it. He got paid today and they told him they were docking his pay!!! He works 50+ hours a week, can they really do that? Is there anything we can do?

I work at an AMC theater and one of my duties sometimes is cleaning the popcorn popper. Unfortunately I'm a little unsure about how to do it and if I ask for help again my coworkers probably won't be too happy. Can someone give me step-by-step instructions? I know there's know way to know if the popper you use and the one I use are the same, but I doubt the differences will be too major, so if I encounter them, I can work around them.

Where I work, a supervisor mentioned to me how they'd never hire a friend of mine back there because of a back problem.
This friend had left the company a few years ago on good terms, to move out of state. A co-worker was talking about how they told my friend to apply back as they are hiring in that area. This is when the supervisor spoke up. I was shocked and felt this super should not have said anything. In my mind that's discrimination and yet my friend is a competent candidate and has been employed consistently elsewhere since leaving the company. This supervisor has a track record of being unprofessional, yet they don't get rid of this person. My friend is very upset and mad and wants to call HR. This is in NJ.

I do nothing all day but answer phones, take messages and handle my boss' personal business (i.e. cleaning up his daughter's resume, making travel arrangements for his family, etc.). I was originally hired to be a marketing and sales admin and was told my job would consist of more than just secretarial work. The marketing department was split from the sales soon after I started and now they have their own people and I'm stuck. I was lied to and am now being treated like a subordinate. When I was first hired, a BA was required, now the ads for admins in this department state they are looking for people with HS Diplomas only!! I feel they have lowered the bar - how can I grow here?
I'm ready to get the hell out of here and am interviewing like crazy, but have just found out that my boss has cancer. I'm currently interviewing, but feel like a jerk for doing so now. When I finally land that other job, how can I leave the one I currently have without burning bridges?

Theoretically I would have graduated from a four-year university with a degree exactly seventeen years ago. I didn't. I simply went to work right after I graduated from high school. Big mistake, kids! (for me anyway, I think). Now I wonder, ethics aside for a moment, would a potential new employer even check to see if I really had a degree if I indicated I did on my resume??
