I got laid off of my first job out of college (worked there for 4 years) at the end of May, I found a sales job in the middle of July and as of today I quit b/c it just wasn't working out. Should I not even bring this up on my resume or in interviews? Can companies run a background check and find out if I've had another job? What if I said I was temping the whole time or I went on vacation or something. How should I handle this situation the proper way?

This course costs $499.00 or $250.00 if you are able to take advantage of a discount. The position is supposedly paying thousands monthly to work from your home computer after completing an onlline course.

I'm a graphic designer and I'm looking for work right now. I've come across companies that I'd really like to work for, but they don't say anything about hiring. I want to send them my resume but I really don't know how I should go about it. I know I need to send some kind of cover letter, but I don't know what I should write. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What is the etiquette on this issue? We have a pretty open business relationship and I think he would like to know, but then again should he know? If i don't end up taking that other job, will that hurt where I stand? OR will this be a good thing so that we can possibly negotiate some things that I am not happy with in my current job? Maybe I should interview first, and find out if I will even get the job, then talk to him....help!

I have been informed that my job role is going to have a drop in pay and although at present my wages are not directly effected the drop in 1 pay code band will reduce my earning potential in the future. Does anyone know the employment law regarding this issue? At present I have just been informed casually but I have been told by the Union that this should follow consultation proceedings were potentially redundancy could be an option?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Just either excited or nervous or whatever but I have three quality phone interviews with a company and now will be going there (August by the way not the time for setting up in-person interviews). Phone interviews went well and salary was discussed. Just trying to gauge things now. One friend says at this point the in-person is more formality to check me out, etc., and make sure I'm not a complete loser or whatever. Just wondering your thoughts?

I was injured during a work-related function (motor-vehicle accident during a work summer outing).

This was last week. There is a chance soon (maybe as soon as this week) that I will be quitting my job for a new job.

If I leave my job will I still be eligible to have my medical bills taken care of under workmen's comp even though I would no longer be employed by the company?

I worked 2 years on the client site. My old boss left and so this new one came in and is documenting the group's work processes to detect what redundancies are there plus, she can't hire anyone new. My old boss will tell me 1 month in advance if there's no permanent position but this one won't. I don't want to quite after I've worked there 2 years, plus, I want to be able to apply at the company without seeing that I quit before my temp assignment is over. What can I do in the meantime?

My job is so boring and I get all my work done within the first 2 hours of work and thats when I work at a snail's pace. I have minimal supervision (my bosses stay in their offices with the doors shut or are never here). I don't want to surf the net all day, play games or read books/magazine. Just some simple things I can do at my desk that aren't overly obvious and waste minutes, hours or even the whole day even. Even weird suggestions are great!

I have a full time secretarial/personal assistant job that i loathe. I absolutely hate coming to work. My boss is a total b***h. I have applied for another really good job with the city and I'm waiting to hear back. The thing is they say the application and interviewing process takes 60 days. Frankly, I can't wait that long. should I grit my teeth and stay where I am, or find another job in the meantime and work there until I hear about the city job. I don't like going to a job for a few weeks and then leaving for another, but I'm at my wits end and I can't afford not to have a job at all.

I need an excuse to stay home from work today. It has to be something believable and I need it quick! It can't be something that will be a problem tomorrow though (1 day issue). Oh and it has to be something a female can use (my boss won't believe that I got kicked in the nuts and now I'm pissing blood - I'm not a guy!). By the way, I work at McDonald's and I've only been working there for like a month.
