My boyfriend was told that it is illegal for him to keep the salary that he had in his last position, which was production manager, now he is warehouse manager and they want him to be on the clock again. Anyone heard of a law to this effect?

Today I had a full-court press interview with pretty much everyone in a company I'm looking at. The CEO, CMO, CFO all started with me, then I was passed on to a 4-person peer-level panel, then I made a presentation attended by these 7 plus an additional 7 or 8 others to whom I was never introduced.

So to whom do I write my thank you?

My coworker is a partier. She always has to follow her friends. My friends this , my friends that. My friends wanted to go so i went. my friends wanted to drink so we drank. She's an alcoholic by theway.. she says she always goes to drink. I can't count how many times she keeps saying when she goes out with friends, it is for drinking.

Anyways, so far she's gotten out of work early or all day long for things such as Have to go help my friend move( what the??? ), have to go to friends graduation( oh man),
have to get out early because it's my birthday.

What the f**? IF you're serious about work, wouldn't you leave those kind of things for later? In the 5 months we've been here working.. She's left or beenabsent from work for so many days for those kind of reasons. while i only went 2 times to the doctor.

I'm currently still working the part time job, and collecting umemployment for my full time job. Is it possible to quit my part time job (which pays much less) and collect full time unemployment benefits. Considering I was working at my primary job full time and for 7 years?

Everyone always says i need a suit for interviews.
What if it's too hot for suits?
Don't some people wear khaki pants & short sleeved shirts?
Do some guys wear short sleeved dress shirts or light colored slacks?

I've seen it in a few movies and some youtube videos.

I have just started interviewing.. 2 recruiters, (No calls yet after a week and a half) I did have an interview today.. (they solicited me) Todays interview was TAG team and after 20 minutes of standard questions, the "corporate" representative starts to look around as if she is BORED!! The other interviewer asked a few more questions and then asks "corporate" if she has any other questions for me. She replies "All Set" in a very snippy way. (putting it nicely) Ok, so, they arent interested, right?? Then why does interviewer #1 ask for my email address to send me the job description?? THEN she says, "If you dont hear from me in about 2 weeks, give me a call."

This question is long winded, and two fold, sorry, but I dont get why potential employers cant just say.. " I am sorry, we are looking for...... Thank you for your time." Anyone? Anyone?

Also, do recruiters actually help you??

I just started working for an Orthopedic Medical Billing Company. I have no experiance, but I have been doing billing for the past 8years in the radiology field. The procedure codes are not similar at all, of course. My question, are there any good website where I can get good billing tips on ortho, or something of that nature? Thanks

My husband has a job interview in the next couple of weeks and needs a week off in September. Do you think it would be wise of him to tell them during the interview or wait until he gets accepted for the job and then let them know?

Since September I have worked as a Kindergarten teacher at a day care with a private kindergarten. I have my bachelors degree in Elementary Education and I want to be in a public school. Because where I work now is a day care, it is a full time position and I am currently doing summer camp. The work enviornment has become awful and boarders harassment (the directors son is in summer camp and is not very well behaved, I went to speak with her about it almost a month ago and she has treated me like crap ever since because I am "picking on her son"). I have two interviews this Wednesday for public school positions and I know that I will be fired if I call in sick or ask off. I have decided to quit for numorous reasons but I'm not sure how giving the cercumstances. Should I give them a two weeks notice tomorrow then call in sick on Wednesday, or should I just quit tomorrow? I will not be using them as a reference.

e.g. Are there preexisting conditions that would prevent someone from going over there? I know there is a medical test that one must complete prior to flying over, but am not sure what that consists of.

I had an interview earlier this afternoon. I already know it isn't the right place or position for me. What is a polite, professional way to decline an offer?

I received a voice mail message on my cell phone over the weekend from an employer (Company A) who interviewed me last Friday morning. The company offered me the job. I was caught completely off guard as the main interviewer said that the decision to hire for the position would be made in a week after they interview several other people for the opening. The problem is that I have another job interview (Company B) tomorrow afternoon. How do I hold off the first offer until I can speak with the other company? Especially what should I tell Company A?

I only plan on working for a year because I will be starting graduate school for military history/defense studies next year, so ideally I'd like to work in something having to do with government, military or politics because that's what I want to do for my career. I live in Los Angeles so there is definitely a lot out there, but from what I've seen in my search so far, it seems nothing in the government sector is entry-level or suitable for recent grads because they all want experience and extensive training. I don't want to spend so much time training because I'll be leaving within a year. Anybody have any ideas on what could be a good job for me?

Why do they take like an hour to fill out with like a million weird questions instead of just being like the paper application? Especially since for the most part it's a waste of time because very few who apply will even get hired (or even interviewed), which makes the information they're asking useless.

I'm thinking of going to a Culinary Arts school but it cost an awful lot of money. How would I know if I will make money after school & how do you know if you are a good cook? Many people tell me I am but how do I find out if this is right for me?

Hey,
so I work at a store and I wanted to work in the Deli, however the only place they could hire me was cash. So I took it, I wanted the job and the money. Now there is an opening in the Deli, so I want to ask to get transfered into the Deli, but I was just wondering, what kind of stuff do you need to do, apart from the obvious like cutting meats.
Thank you
