you go for a job interview and the guy says you have the job, but give me 2 or 3 days to call you back as he has to wait for the background check to come back. what does this mean?

I have been working in the same office for 4 years and am a big part of what goes on here. People depend on me and I know how to do a lot of things that others don't.

I was offered an awesome job, it's almost too good to be true.

I want to know how can I quit here. I love the people and know that this is going to be bad for them. How do I go about quitting?

Oh, and in the business I'm in, when you give your two week's notice, they ask you to leave immediately because the information is confidential and they don't want people messing with anything.

Thanks in advance!!

I had a change of mind after i graduated from college, which was recent. I really need input or help deciding my future. I want to make the best choices with my career and get off to a good start. Well. I was focused just on the money aspect of my degree instead of analyzing to much into what I was specifically going to do with my degree. I graduated and I don't know what I want and I am being to picky. I always loved science and I don't know why I didn't major in science or biology. I need to go back and get educated. But anyways can someone help me find ways I can do a job with Science particularly earth science, enviromental science, or astronomy. Pretty much anything with science Or entry level IT options. Thank you. I really need help , this is making my head hurt so bad !

I found a very good company that has 2 attractive available positions posted on its website.

I would be willing to work at either position.

Can/Should I apply to both or is that a bad idea? Will the HR department notice that I applied to both? (I bet they would).

If the HR department saw that I applied for only 1 position would they independently think I could also be a good for for the other position?

Would do you suggest, apply for just 1 or Both?

Thanks

I am working part time doing Gelato ice cream about 14 months and nothing happened. Till this Singapore based restaurant hired a Branch Manager who is from Europe a few months back. I came to understand that this company is not making money and he tries to keep his job by cutting costs n downsizing manpower. Infact he is drinking while on duty, enjoying the food and his job is only to say 'Welcome' in his language. He leaves his job early and sometimes he also disappeared. Two days ago a customer found two small pieces of transparent plastics or glasses in the ice cream.This Manager asked me if I heard about it asked do I have any explanation? I nodded. Later I said I hope everybody has got to be careful. He said 'I don't care and I don't want it to happen again.' The way he put is like that I am only to be blamed and I have to answer for it. I cannot guard the ice cream for 24 hours. It would be taken to another outlet and served by anybody. What would you do if you were me?

I'm 20, have no college education, and live in Oregon. Right now I'm working as a Realtor; I'm working under another broker who was a top producer for 15+ years with re/max. I know that he is using me to do a lot of his BS work, and I'm really not making a lot of money.. Yesterday I went and talked with a representative for Comcast, and they are hiring for cable technicians. The money initially would be at least twice as good, & the job is more 'mindless.' but not as good in the LONG run... Any advice as to what I should do?

I'm Japanese who's been living abroad for more than 12 years. I've been proposed by my bf I met in UK last week, and though I'm happy, I'm very worried by how he works as a contract worker.
In my country, contract workers recieve the same or less amount than full time workers, hoping to become one themselves. I heard contract workers in UK earn more, but is 450 daily usual, or low? Is it enough to have kids and have familly in future?
I don't know anything about earning in UK, and if I'll move, I have to find a job myself but I'm doubting I can get a job that will cover the rents...
Also I'm worried about the class system in UK. He is definately in the working class, where I think I'm in middle...from what I'm guessing from the lifestyle differences.
I know I love him, I'm just worried about the future realisticly.

Is there a good chance an offer is coming. what is ur take on the proceding thus far. thanks in advance

I work in a telesales environment selling an online credit checking system. I have all the closes under the sun for creating urgency in getting the buyer to buy NOW with discounts, but is there any way to get a YES now with out the cliche line of "i have to think about it" ?
Everything is explained to the buyer perfectly, so they don't need to think about any thing as we do it all for them, but is there a winning line that works to get them onboard today? rather than letting it go "cold" if they have to have a few days to think about it - no discounts.

I am looking for a job, and I am considering waiting tables. The only thing that makes me nervous about this is carrying the trays. It looks so difficult to me! I am a petite girl, but I see girls like me doing it all the time. My husband is a server, and he says that carrying the trays isn't as hard as it looks. I would like any encouragement, tips, or advice. I would like to hear from people who wait tables and do this and from people who feel this part of the job let them down or gave them trouble, especially if you had to quit because of it. I used to work at Sonic Drive-In, and that was the closest I got to carrying a tray like this. I know it is totally different, but I am just giving as much info as possible. Also, the job I'm considering is at Blacked Eyed Pea, so if that helps any... Thanks!

employer i now work for p/t? The offer is turning out to be a little fishy since they're stalling on the offer letter. I have something else in the wings that's a bit more conservative and kosher. I've accepted the offer verbally but I haven't signed anything. Now I'm starting to change my mind and I want to back out of the offer. I've worked with this person before and I should probably call them but I'd prefer email. What' s the best way to approach this and what are some good reasons for backing out. I'd lke to retain the relationship if at all possible, but I can't see right now how that's possible. Any suggesstions?

I work for this company now p/t and the job offer is f/t and more responsibility but I've recently gotten word from the inside they give dirty a new name and I don't think I want to chance it. Plus the stuff they're pulling right now before we even begin gives me pause.
