I might be getting a job, and this lady that is helping me get it said that I should open up all day Saturdays to work. The only problem is that I go to church saturdays and I am not willing to give up my religious beliefs just for a job. She said to tell the interviewer that I can work all day Saturday, but I dont want to compromise church, but I also dont want to lose the job.

I am currently at a job that I used to love. I've been with it for almost 8 months now, recently got a raise. I enjoy working with most of my co-workers and I do like my supervisor. A couple of items that makes things difficult for me, first my schedule. I'm not full time and I'm not part time. I'm what is called "flex time" where my hours can vary between 30-35 hours and there is no sign of that changing or moving up to another position, which brings to a second problem. Due to recent budget cuts, they have stopped hiring people and stopped promoting people which is what I want to do and have made it clear with my supervisor. I am in a position where a person can move up quickly. My supervisor had the position I had and 10 months later, he was a supervisor but because of money issues, that isn't happening anytime soon and the company opened a customer service center down in Phillipines doing exactly what I am doing but for cheaper. I have enough money in my bank account

Hi, I have a legal issue that requires quite a lot of time spent on it or atleast interest. I have been told be a lawyer that I do have a strong case and that I would be able to sue, but he wouldn't be able to take it on because of my circumstances (MONEY). It would be taking on the Goverment re: Public Housing, and a burn injury to a baby. Can anyone help me with any answers.? Is there honest lawyers out there? Where are they? Does anyone know any legal firm who may take this on? Very out of my depth with things like this, but I do beleive that I have a strong case and need propper help. Thanks

I'm wondering if I am going to be denied unemployment if I am pregnant? The requirement is you must be "ready, available and capable of working full time" and being pregnant, you still are capable. If at first I put on the form that I was unable to work full time, which isn't true but I botched it, but then spoke with someone over the phone at the agency afterwards and told them I could- they said I had to wait until I receve paperwork so I can fill out an eligibility form and then they sent me a medical form I had to fill out but I just sent it back and said that I have no doctor or medical condition I would need one for so we can just clear up this mess... now they say my account/case is impending investigation of availability and I'm not going to be paid until a decision is made (in my favor). So I don't know what the heck to make of it all... does anyone have any knowledge or experience w/ unemployment?

I was thinking English but if I decide to no longer pursue Law I would not want to be stuck with an English Degree. My real choice is Criminal Justice but wonder how well that will prepare me for Law School. Are any suggestions from Lawyers or Law students? Or anybody actually.

I have been working now for over 20 years in a professional office job. I have worked in a variety of professional jobs in a number of different companies. Only one thing is true at all jobs: I have never had constantly enough work to keep me busy all day. I look for work, I make work, I beg for work and do everything I can to get and do more work. None of these efforts are good enough. I am just not challenged and am never busy enough. My bosses tell me they are impressed with all the things I get done. But I am still bored and not challenged enough.

So do you have enough work to keep you busy all day at the office?

I am 23 and currently attending college. I work at a job that is pretty much stress free (as a cashier at a drugstore). I am happy there. My aunt emailed me a flyer advertising a cashier position at a grocery store. The pay will be only about $1-$1.50 more per hour. The grocery store is in a terrible traffic area. The drugstore that I currently work at is a close stress-free drive from my home. I do not want to switch jobs because I am content. What do I do? How do I tell my aunt that I am not interested?, she is a bit overbearing.

Ok so I work at Wal-Mart. I hate the place, but hey its a paycheck. It a great place to shop, not so great place to work. I'm still on my 90 day probation, but sense yesterday I have been feeling under the weather. I went in yesterday even though I felt I crap, But today when I woke up my body felt really weak so I called out. So my mom told me it's not good to called out before your 90 days. I really am sick though, I have a really bad cold. I have been in bed all day. My body is weak. The only reason I got up was so I could eat. Then I had to get on the computer so that I could pay this man on EBay for my schoolbook. right now I'm going to drink some tea & lay back down. Anyway am I going to get in trouble at work? I already got a verbal warning from a manager who thinks I work to slow. Man I hate that place. I do my job & their still on my back!!!!! I'm really thinking about quiting anyway.

I left the civil service last year after 24 years following a problem with my health because of which I lost a lot of time at work. I was not sacked but paid off with compensation to pretty much go away.

Now that my health problem has been resolved I cannot get a job as all prospective employers go back to the civil service for references. The civil service simply tell them that yes I worked for them but had my contract terminated last year due to unsatisfactory attendance.

I know this cos one bloke showed me the reference. It does not mention the health problem or that they made me redundant with a large compensation payment.

How can I get round this as I'm getting loads of interviews but no further and more than a few have told me it it is because of my references

I have a manager at work who keeps saying he is a lawyer

Howeverm he is a manager of a debt collection company

We find it annoying, because he is not a trading lawyer anymore, he is a manager!

He keeps reeling of legal terms and he is a training officer for the debt collectors, he tends to waffling on about legal stuff and it is very boring to listen to!

Who would find this an annoying character?!

Would it be through work experience with a dive group, and practicing and meeting the right people, or are there schools for this type of thing? I always think that hands on is better than academic, however I was just wondering.

Thanks.
