I'm the supervisor in my department. we recently hire two new employees. I found out that they are getting pay more than me? is that legal? the new hires are male, can that be the reason why? Is it possible that the people that work under me are getting pay more and i have all the responsivilities? I spoke to my hr and they said that they have to speak to my boss about it. Is that just a load of crap or what?

I started working about a month ago at this place and my boss, on my first paycheck, cheated me a couple hours, but he said i wasnt clocking in correctly, and i didnt have proof that i was. So this time around i saved all my clocking in papers and kept them, next thing you know, my paycheck shows up and its a good 50 dollars short. I made copies of the clock in papers i have and im going to go in there and show him... is this a good idea. Im in highschool and hes done this to my other friends (he cheated one over 100dollars)... so i quit and todays my last day. Do you think he will give me my money if i have just the copies? i am NOT going to give him the originals because if i dont get money then my parents said we are turning him in.

Like a small job that i wouldn't have to go to everyday. I'm scared of talking to people a lot, so no babysitting. My mom suggested working as a cashier or something at a supermarket, but i'm scared of seeing people i know there. So what else is there?

I have a little over 1 year of experience as a data entry clerk. left beacuse I was laid off in a company downsizing.

I go from temp agencies all the time I take there aptitude test and say my scores are incredible (90 compared to average of 70) and they say they will find work fo rme as soon as possible and then I NEVER hear from them again, i say I'm up for anything in entry level accounting and data entry or any kind of office clerk position, I have my own car so I don't need public transportation, I act very professional always wearing a conservative suit and tie.

seriously WHERE CAN A 19 YEAR OLD FIND A DAMN JOB

NO ONE WILL HIRE ME

I live in NC. Its impossible for me to find an Office clerk job.

I Look EVERYWHERE

I send in my resume (which Is professional with spelling and punctuation, (not like this question.)

I see online ads from charlottehelpwanted.com and send my resume, then call back and NOTHING

I go to job fares pass out my resume and references the recruiters give me the bullshit we'll contact you then...NOTHING

so i have a couple questions...first and foremost i know i would be doing a lot of driving..i love driving though and it's the only thing i'm really good at. I deliver now, i've driven across the country, to canada, florida...one time i even drove from oklahoma city to philadelphia without stopping (27 and half hours..i know that wasn't safe)
so that parts def fine with me. I only drive stick and i'm up to the challenge of learning how to drive a big rig..
the only thing that bothers me is i dont like to be away from my sig other so much...so
are there truck driving jobs that i can take without driving over the road like regional or statewide?..being a new driver
and how readily available are those jobs?
I also hear that some companies will let you partner up with your husband/wife? I'd like to get more insight on that?
and also how many female truck drivers are there?
and is being a female truck driver at truck stops any more unsafe than being a male one?
anything else to add?

I'm looking for a certain career field in which you have the option to opt to travel. International Teaching was the career I found that give you this option of either teaching from the states, or going anywhere in the world as you please. I was wondering if their were similiar careers that give you this option?
Thank you.

Its very irritating where I work. I am making $11 an hour and have been at this company for going on 2 years, obtained a certification for the job I do. The policy says that you will get an evaluation every six months. I have not gotten one yet. They just started a new person with no experience or certifications at $11 an hour. I am considering going somewhere else where my efforts will be recognized. Should I take another job?

It was a technical interview. I was asked a simple programming question. I knew the answer related to loops, but I hesitated to answer. The reason I didn't answer it was because that (1) too simple for me to believe (2) interviewer showed me many methodologies before asking me the question; I was thinking that he might want to show me some tricks to do that question.
This was the only interview I got after my sending out my resume for a few weeks. I have left job market for years and encouraged myself to go back to career. My resume showed a lot programming experience and I used to work in a reputable company. The interviewers had a meeting after my interview and seemed to be angry at me. (From the email interviewer(s) sent me, I can sense the angry.) I sent an email explaining why I missed the point. However, I feel that they think I lied. I lost my reputation. It is very hard for me to get any interview because I have an big employment gap. Advise & Help!!

My partner works for a driver at a hire firm. He is on minimum wage and desperate to better himself so we can have a better standard of life.

He would like to do his Driving Instructor Training, or HGV Licence, but both courses cost around £2,000+

We have no savings to pay for these courses and his family have refused to help (even though they have the money!). We cannot get a Career Development Loan as we have a very poor credit history.

He even asked his employers if they would pay for him to do his HGV licence and they said no. They are not prepared to spend the money.

I have searched and searched and cannot find any help at all. I cannot beleive that nothing is available to help a man who so desperately wants to better himself. Please do anyone have any ideas, this is so frustrating!
