I'm an administrative assistant in an open-office enviroment. There is a man that works nearby that is always coming over and bothering me. He comes behind my desk, picks things up ON MY DESK, and comes over and leans on my cubical and stares down my shirt. Everytime I wear a new shirt or change my haircolor he always comes over and starts asking me about it. He walks by me and says things like "Still happily married?" and laughs it off.

It's really bothering me. I've tried to ignore him and give him one word answers. My HR person is aware of my discomfort with this guy and he's already been spoken to once about bothering me while I'm trying to work.

He's in his late fifties (I'm 24) and he gives me really slimy vibes and makes me very uncomfortable. What should I do???

Age/Transportation - I'm turning sixteen in August and will [hope to god] get my drivers liscense the first try so I can drive to a job. I reside in Wisconsin.

People Skills - I have EXCELLENT people skills. Helping people just enough without passing into annoyance is my speciality. I am very good at interviews and one-on-one situations. Being a leader and taking charge are some of my strong points.

Academic Skills - I'm a high honours student who has been recommended for academic and leadership events. GPA around 3.9.

Others - I have probably one of the biggest work ethic cores of any teenager. I never, ever give up at a challenge or request.


With all this in mind, where would be good places to work?

A few I've thought of were [and why]:

American Eagle - love clothes
Gamestop - love video games
Rue 21 - love clothes

I'd like to work in retail, since I love selling to ppl.

I'd personally not want to work at like a fast food place beacuse I hate food.

What I mean by this is should I call the place back after awhile and check on the status of my application? If so, how long should I wait before doing so? Would it be ok to call, or should I go up there in person? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying very hard to get a job for a couple months now and no luck. All I'm doing is turning in applications and never checking back in. I think that may be my problem. Anyway, thanks for reading and your help.

The point is I've been working at a nail salon getting paid under-the-table. And for 1 1/2 years. Do they check your social security to see that you aren't getting paid under-the-table? Thanks answers appreciated.

I have a few problems with my work at the moment. I work in a corporate office in the city centre and have worked here for the past 6 months. I am not really clicking with anyone in my department (immediate crew of 7) but also find it hard to initiate conversations with other staff around the building. (260 staff) I work with one lady who talks harshly about people to me but then I get fearful she is doing the same about me. I've approached her about this and she has just palmed off my queries and left it at that. I also feel she talks to the boss about things she might over hear I'm doing in my personal life or when I talk on my mobile because he knows things I don't tell him. I'm wondering if there's any websites or books on office politics because I really like my job but I'm pretty naive when it comes to all this manipulation and backstabbing. I'm 24 years old and am just getting my career started so I refuse to leave this company. It's my dream job that I've fought hard for.....
