My company has started disciplinary proceedings against me, for something that happened out side of my contracted working hours and not at work or in relation to anyone I work with. I was on my way to work when I had an arguement with a member of the public over a non work related issue. They complained to my company, they only knew where I worked because I had my work shirt on. I don't believe this is fair but can't find any information on the limitations to contracts and when they apply.

I want to become and Ultrasound technician and have run into multiple problems. I live in Atlanta GA and have found only one school that offers it. I don't trust that they are accredited nor do I wish to recieve a diploma so I have ruled them out. My problem is I was told that I must first take an associates program in Radiological Technology (X-Ray Tech) before I can take the Ultrasound program anywhere. Is that even true? Is there not school in Atlanta, or Georgia for that matter, that lets me take Ultrasound Technology without forcing me to take Radiology Technology first? I was told that Ultrasound tech programs can be finished in 9 months... At this rate its going to take four years ON TOP of the fact that I already have an associate's degree. Help!!

Ok. I already have my own business (bookstore) but I'm interested in the idea of learning medical transcription so I could bring my work home with me. I am very familiar with medical terminolgy and I type fairly fast (60wpm) so does anyone in this field know where should I start? Any good books to recommend? Thank you!

The company I work for offers referral bonuses - if I were to recommend a somebody as a candidate, and that person gets hired and remains for at least 3 months - I would be paid a referral bonus.

Here's my thought - I would post a "help wanted" ad online - probably Craigslist - and screen resumes...if I get a good one or two I would submit them to the HR dept. here, and tell the candidate to see that we are friends.

If that person gets hired - voila! - referral bonus for me...

Any legal issues with this??

I am working with a temp agency to find employement. One of the recruiters called for a meeting tomorrow and I wanted to know if its inappropriate to to where a business shirt and slacks or should i still continue to wear a suit. I feel that its really not an interview and will still be in the casual range. Any suggestions as to if i should go business suit or business casual.

I have a boss in my office, we are the only two here and I don't feel comfortable for one thing because it's a male/female situation, but he wears his slacks so tight you can see and outline of everything you want to know nothing about. How do I tell him his pants are too tight? (Note: he is a really big hot head with a huge ego and if I hurt his ego he will through a temper. He's more moody than a woman with the worst PMS ever!)

I have this job because it's the only one I can get-most jobs require 16 years old and I'm not turning 16 until September. I reeeaally don't like it (I'm doing try-out hours right now), but my mom says I should do it just to earn some dough for the summer. But, my summer is pretty miserable right now!! I know I'm definitely gonna quit this job once I turn 16, which the boss won't like. What should I do?!

The application you have submitted has been accepted for the following position: Sr. Support Services. Since the position does not require examination, you are eligible to be placed on the register for the position indicated on your application. You will remain on the register for one year........

Do you think this means, I didn't make the cut this time but am added to the list for consideration in the future or that I may be getting a call for an interview?

When I graduated from IT some years back, I didn't get a job in IT. The market was bad. I ended doing other jobs. Lately, I was also unemployed due to the economic conditions.

However, in the meantime, I have also taken short courses to keep myself up to date such as MCSA or MCSE or CCNA or Oracle.

Do you think I can now go back to the IT field after 3 to 4 years? What do you think my chances are?

I'm a nursing student and I work at a hospital close to my home. Lately I've been having trouble getting into work on time (or sometimes at all). My boss just called me to go into her office and requested that I bring a union rep with me. I think they're going to fire me..

Do I qualify for unemployment? I've been working there part time for 2.5 years. at the moment I'm working as a student extern at another hospital for the summer so it's a temporary position. Would this interfere with collecting? what about school? I go to school part time (but full time hours) and won't be able to look for another job.. would this affect my ability to collect?
i'm so scared because I can't afford to not have a job and I can't afford to work during school....
btw - I live and work in new jersey.

My boss is involved in a pyramid scheme (similar to Amway). He is really pushing for me to get involved because I have a lot of friends. He hopes I can get them in this thing too. Trouble is, he is a crappy boss on my full-time job, so I really don't want any more dealings with him. I am also in college, work full-time, two kids, two part-time jobs, so no time for anything else as it is. How do I tell boss of the year to back off? Trouble is, he will assign me crappy projects until one of my coworkers pisses him off. I like my job and the way it's going, hopefully he won't crap on that for me. We work in a government agency, so HR will probably be no help either.

I have been in admin for 5 years. I hate it. It is the only thing I know, though. I hate being at a desk all day. I go bonkers sitting still. I cant even sit through a movie. The only other skill I have is writing which doesn't pay well until you are established which could take years. I do not have a college degree but am desperate to get out of admin. I am between jobs now and cringe at the thought of going back and sitting at a desk for 8 hours. No offense to those who love office work. I wish I could be more like that but I'm not. What other careers could I pursue that are not office but pay decent?
