Let's say the research is done [ COMPLETE ]
now what ? How many lines am i supposed to write about this company that i just read about in their website in the " ABOUT US " section , in my cover letter.

I don't understand this . What is it that they want us to write in it ?

This is completely bizzare because first of all there is no guide line to how many lines should be there on a cover letter regarding the company ( i know the cover letter must be customized ) ... but ....

like what am I Precisely and Exactly supposed to write about the company ?

I was working for this mortgage company last year for about 6 months. I had set hours, Monday-Friday from 9am-5pm & a 1hour lunch. I was on salary, every single month I got paid the same amount. I recall asking them why I did not have a pay stub showing all my deductions, & why they were not taking any thing out of my check. They told me that this is how they paid all their employee's, (When I was hired I was hired as their employee not as an individual contractor) & that at tax time they would send me a form to do my taxes called a 1099. When I did my taxes I did not need to pay the state any money. I did not know this but apparently employers can NOT do that, they can not tell the government (edd, irs etc) that you are an individual contractor & when in reality your just a regular employee. Now when I called EDD they told me there are no wages that were reported for last year from that employer who had me on a 1099. How can I fight this & get unemployment!!!?

I remember working at my uncles shop ( as an electronics technician ) for a year around 8 years ago

these were my job duties

I had to read and interpret mechanical, optical, and electrical specifications.I used multi-meters, digital oscilloscopes, DVM and function generators
I tested analog and digital circuits and generated test reports in MS Word, MS Excel and MS PowerPoint.

These are the job descriptions that I could put in words.
But i can't remember why i was testing , reading and measuring all these voltages and so on and so forth .

I dn't know if he was an evil genius working on world domination or if he was working on a project that relates to world domination ?

I've been working for an overnight pharmacy for the past 2 months now, and I'm making a return back to school. I currently make 8.75/hr, but when I first got the job my manager said the pay ranged from 8.50-9.00. I blurted "8.75". As in not to seem greedy. A few weeks after that conversation, I reconsidered, and was about ask mngt. for the extra quarter, but I caught the flu and was out for three days (with doctors note). And because I missed those days I lost my nerve.

How should I approach this if I ask?

I may be receiving a promotion at work, which would entail some work from home as well as some weekends. I heard that in similar cases, I can do something like purchase a computer for the "home-work" that I will be doing, and have my corporation pay for it?

Is this true? Where can I find more details? Thanks!

I'm starting prenursing in the spring, but think i ultimately want to be a respiratory therapist, so I would transfer starting the fall semester... the prereqs are generally the same, which alleviates this problem.. But, the projected growth rate for RTs in Pennsylvania is -5% through 2014! The national growth rate is 21-35 percent in that same time...why is it so much lower here, and will i have to relocate to a different state to find a job? All help appreciated.

I feel the company made some very crucial mistakes. I might take this to court. They go by a point system. For a call-out you recieve one occurence. If you are late more than 3 minutes you get a half of an occurence. If you go on Leave Of Absence you get one occurence for up to five days off. And if you tally up 8 occurences within that year, termination occurs! But in the Employees Handbook you recieve when you first get hired, it says: 0-4 occurences you get no corrective actions, your 5th occurence you get Written counseling, 6th written warning, 7th final written warning, and 8th termination! Its company policy to take these corrective action steps. My question to you is, since I got to my 8th occurence they have a right to terminate my employment with the company, but my only corretive action they took was my final written warning. i feel it was unfair that I was unaware that I got this far into my occurences without knowledge of it. What do you think I should do?

Yesterday i made a comment about the office being to warm, and my boss responded with, 'just take your shirt off'. Also in the past when I gave him a check we received from a customer he told me I could have it if I spent it all on victorias secret and modeled if for him. What do I do? I really need this job with christmas in a month. I have been searching for other jobs since he first said the Victorias Secret comment 4 months, and I have found nothing. Also, collecting unemployment is not an option, I barely make enough as is, so unemployment checks definately won't pay the bills. HELP!!!

I am 15 years old, and still seeking what I am to do for a living when i get older. I have been told that I am good at finding details in things so i should be a Lawyer. I have found out what has been hurting my little brothers teeth before the dentist even seen it. Three times already it seems to be really easy. So I want to find out which job pays more.

I am going to be giving my 3 weeks notice this Friday. I work in an accounting firm and have been here over 1 year. I have heard that the boss will tell you to leave the day you give your resignation because you are leaving to another firm. Would I be eligible for termination pay or severance pay?

My husband is stuck working for a very poorly managed company/team. He's been saying for years that he needs someone else to train for his job as a backup and they keep saying that it will get better. He's overworked and underpaid and they still haven't hired someone for him to train to help him and be his backup. This week he is on vacation, but is near a computer and COULD log in if he wanted (his bosses don't know this). They've had a problem with his process and have left him messages on his cell phone about it. He doesn't want to call them back since he's on vacation and he'll just get dragged into working. I think he should at least call back, but not actually do the work. Perhaps he could just explain to them how to fix the problem--of course, it's programming so I doubt he could do much over the phone. Technically, he is on vacation and should not be available. He's looking for another job, but should he call them back and try to help? What do you all think?
