Careers & Employment - November 2007

I am job searching for no other reason than I cannot stand my boss. He is rude, disgusting, and disrespectful and I have had it. I would like to know a good line to use when the interviewer asks why I am leaving my current position. It's not the money, the job, the advancement opportunities, the skills, nothing that would fall under the standard lines I've found so far.

I need something unique and believable that won't be probed further and won't even give a hint that I have to get away from him as soon as possible before it just spills out that I cannot stand him.

This is a professional white collar position in the field of higher education, where everybody knows everybody and you have to be extraordinarily careful.

A few months ago I decided that I needed a change in jobs so I quit and took a position at a local doctor's office as the receptionist. The boss' wife and I know each other from college classes and she hired me because she really likes me. Her and her husband have done nothing but praise me and go on to everyone about how I am doing such a wonderful job. They have also already given me quite a big raise. The problem I'm having is that I absolutely hate this job! It is extremely boring and I like to keep busy. Also, the receptionist that was here before me made a complete mess of their billing system and now it is left up to me to fix it. In my previous job I did nothing but fix other people's mistakes and that's one reason I left. I honestly do not have the energy at this point in time to fix this lady's mistake. How do I quit and stay friends with this lady? I will be seeing her on a regular basis and I really appreciate everything her and her husband have done for me. Please help!

My husband say that I am a conformist when it comes to how much money I make. So, I thought I would give the general public a list of my qualifications and you tell me, what do you think I am worth (can be hourly wage or salary)

-Graduated High School 3.7 GPA
-Earned an Associates of Applied Science Degree 3.5 GPA
-I took a paralegal certification program in college and received my paralegal certificate.
- I have been working for the past year since I graduated in an immigration law firm as a paralegal.
-I am bilingual in Spanish and English.
-Have great professional references.

I think that I have to get a lot more education and experience before I can make a good salary- my husband thinks that I am not giving my self credit for what I already have. HELP

I absolutely cannot stand my job. Everything I do is wrong and my boss makes me miserable all the time, i get yelled at for every little thing, along with another employee. The other employee is also quitting, the reason she gave is school, but I don't go to school, so i can't use that. I'm simply putting my notice in because I hate my job to the point where it is making me sick. I don't have another job, but my husband and I can afford me not working until I find something else.
I am unsure of how to write my notice. I know i shouldn't vent it all out in the letter. And if i simply tell her I am putting my notice in without a reason, she going to demand to know why, so Im going to have to have a reason. Any suggestions on how to write it?
Thank you!

I see and hear mixed numbers from $15 per hour to $35k to $40k a year (which does not seem much if this means full time work, but for part time work it's fine). I also have seen over $65k per year. Why the great mixed numbers? Does this depend which company and how many hours you work per week?

I quit my retail position and gave 2 weeks notice. The store manager has refused to mail me my final check and says that I must pick it up in person. She has mailed other people's checks after they left (even though it takes her months). My paycheck is sent to the store in a sealed envelope with my address pre-printed on in. Is is legal for her to refuse to send it?

I applied for a great job and have had two interviews, had all my refrences checked, my college transcripts checked and now they just had me to take a drug test and sign for a criminal background check and said that the background check ussually takes 1 1/2 - 2 weeks and that they would be in touch.

Thats all they said, they never said I was hired or would be hired if everything comes out good they just said we'll be in touch.

What should I think of this, and is this a really good sign that they will probably hire me and just want to make sure everything is good before making a offer?

I have to do a research paper on lawyers and I need to know the employee benefits of having that job, such as health care, personal leaves etc.... but I can't find it anywhere, instead is says find lawyers to fight for YOUR employee benefits. I would really appreciate links to something saying that, I am not trying to cheat or get answers off of people, I just want to know if anyone knows any websites to help me with this. I really can't take answers from people anyway, since this needs to be cited. Thanks in Advance!!!

If we were to split up she thinks that she would be in titled to part of the house because of these receipts. Is this true? I live in Ohio in case anyone was wondering.

I've worked 3 days as a waitress @ one Iranien restaurant.
He's basically cheating me for my money,
I believe that he assumes that I'm an illegal alien in the US.
Which I AM NOT!
I AM AWARE OF THAT YOU DON'T MAKE ALOT OF MONEY PR. HR. AS A WAITRESS,BUT I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE TOO EXTREME........
I worked together 28,40 hrs.

example:
10:00a.m. - 10:00p.m.


10:00a.m. - 09:00p.m.

12:00p.m. - 5:40p.m.


The supervisor just answered:
I gotta speak to my partner first! (when I asked about how much I was gonna make hourly).

After I got to know that I was gonna get paid $300 weekly,I quit.
I don't wanna work that many hrs,without getting paid overtime and without having a payroll!

How much $ am I entitled do after working those hours as a waitress/cashier?

If for example you miss a day of work such as a company paid holiday, a day paid for bereavement, or any other company approved paid day off. And in this same week you worked 12 hours overtime and normally get paid time and a half. Can the company legally take 8 of those overtime hours and change them to straight time pay? Thus giving you a total of 36 straight, 8 holiday, and 4 hours o.t.? They say they can because you have to be physically at work 40 hours period. I live in Michigan if that pertains to state laws. Any info would be appreciated. And if possible where I can find it!
