It is a very high paying job and don't want to quit. It would take me a long time to find another job with comparable pay.

I started a new job about three months ago. I really like the new company, but I'm having problems with my boss. I have been working in this industry for over 10 years, and while some of the procedures are a little different at the new company, the work is basically the same as I was doing before. I feel very confident in my abilities, and I've been told that I do my job well. My boss is barely 6 months older than I am, and has just a little more experience. He spends so much time checking up on what I'm doing and reminding me about the things that need to get done (most of which I've already done!) that he often doesn't have time to do his own job! I feel that since I've been here, I've more than proven myself and shown everyone that I am competent. I'm not used to having someone constantly follow up on every little thing that I'm doing. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can get him to ease up a little bit and just let me do my job? I feel like I'm being suffocated!

I recently had a really good interview last week Wednesday. My potential employer told me he would personally call the manager I will be working with to make sure she sets up a time to meet with me. It is now Tuesday morning, and I have yet to hear from anyone. Should I give him an email telling him I'm still interested and please let me know if there's anything more information I can give? What is the protocol on following up? (I gave my thank you note via email, in which he responded, thanks, I will keep you posted).

Please help? I feel that I am not competent for this internship.?

I am working at this place and compared to all the other interns, I do not have as much computer experience as them. I've made a few careless mistakes that I feel terrible about. I spoke to him about it and I am trying to improve. I feel that my boss doesn't want me there. He gives me very easy jobs and doesn't take the time to teach me the more difficult things. When I first worked there, I worked on great things, now he doesn't give me big projects to work on. I feel like shhittte. He is not the kind of guy that would fire someone. I feel like I am taking up space over there. Should I ask him to give me bigger projects to work on? Have you ever had a crappy job experience?

I have a job interview for the new Kohl's that is hiring (located in my town). I was just wondering if anyone has any advice for job interviews, being that this is my first one and I am a bit nervous since it is a group interview. Oh, and if you have any experience working at Kohl's can you tell me what it is like working there? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I am 14-years-old and am looking to get a job in the tech industry that will allow me to create some contacts for future purposes... I live in Austin, TX where the following companies are located: Dell, AMD, Samsung, Toshiba, GSD&M, and 3M. I am enrolled in the local magnet school that has very good credentials and has an excellent tech department where I will be able to develop my technological skills. I have no previous experience in resumes or jobs except for some construction so I was hoping to find some help here with writing it. I am very detail-oriented and committed to most anything I do... Please help! (I have basic knowledge in most Microsoft apps, but very little in HTML and none in any other programming language.)

You know the questions on some job applications that ask gender and race? They also ask questions about weather you or anyone in your household has received government assistance. Do these effect my chances of getting hired? I know they say these are voluntary, but I am uncertain if not answering effects my chances of getting the job. What is your opinion? Do you have any first hand experiance that can shed light on the topic?

When an interviewer ask the question "where do you see yourself 5 years from now", I just want to scream or tell them, "hopefully it won't be here kissing butts, scraping to get a promotion"; I also would like to say, "I plan on being financially independent", but I know that wouldn't go well for hiring purposes! I really wonder what kind of answer they are looking for. I know that within 5 years I would probably be looking for a new job. I would need it to help dislodge me from the stagnated condition that the prior job left me in, after the challenge was gone and my salary was capped! Besides that, with the job situation today, you have to be multi-talented and ready to get layed off, due to downsizing, bankruptcy, or whatever. You can't bank on the hope of retiring after "x" amount of years like it used to be!
If you've ever been asked that question during an interview, what kind of answer did you give? Any interviewers out there, what kind of answer are you looking for?

I took a relatively low paying university position with excellent tuition benefits (100% tuition waiver) and a stellar work environment (only a 35 hour work week and four weeks of vacation!) while I complete my MBA. I also am gaining valuable experience as a supervisor and other useful skills to compliment my 5 years work experience in financial services. My pay before starting my MBA program was much higher, but still mediocre due to living in a low cost of living area. I now live in a much more expensive city. How much of an impact will my salary history have when I begin looking for a new position next year with an MBA and 6 years of professional experience? What might I do to increase my earning potential?

For those of us who don't have one all-encompassing life passion, choosing a satisfying career is near impossible. One day it's one thing, the next day it's something else, the next day it's another field, the next day it's another career. Then it usually gets back around to the beginning and it starts all over again. Talk about frustrating.

Any advice for those of us who have a million different interests and who find choosing the right career almost impossible? I don't want to be one of those people who is 70 years old realizing they just spent the majority of their life doing something they hate. Thanks.

I have always worn pantyhose with my skirt suits for work each day at the office. Needless to say, with me dressing that way, my hubby developed a pretty intense curiousity about it. As I was getting ready for work one day, I asked him what the fascination was and he told me that he found it alluring and sensual when I wear pantyhose and that he was curious to experience that feeling. So I hiked up my skirt, eased out of my sheers, handed them to him, and told him to slip them on. I let him keep them on for a few minutes and he went absolutely crazy over the way they felt, which I thought was kind of neat.

Now hes asked a few more times recently for me to let him wear them again. I don't want to deny it to him because of how fascinated he is and how much he liked it that one time. I'm thinking if I can limit it to a few minutes around the time we go to bed, we could have fun with it. Was I wrong to do this? How should I handle this?

Would it be fair to ask my boss for the extra 70 cents, or should i just hush. I dont think its fair. Should he have changed my rate of pay or does he not have to?
