I was at an IT job interview, and the interviewers kept asking me "experience questions". They didn't depart from questions about experience. They did not ask any other kind of questions.

Well, what left me feeling ridiculed were:
1) Interviewer: Do you have experience in this and that?
Me: Yes, I have use that skill in such and such project in my previous job.
Interviewer: HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN SINCE YOU'VE DONE THAT?
Me: Well, it was probably two years ago.
Interviewer: We're looking for someone who has done it RECENT.
(It turns out that having experience alone was not good enough. It had to be a RECENT EXPERIENCE.)

2) They asked my if I have database administrator experience in Oracle and SQL Server, but I could see that such experience was not needed based what they said during the later part of the interview. After all, I was interviewing for a helpdesk position.

What I want to pass on to others is this. To reiterate, having experience alone is not enough.

So, my manager just hired a new employee at the store I work at and she is a complete nut. She's an older woman, and is total bizarre. One of those women that you see hugging trees and counting the toes on her feet. Any suggestions on how to deal with this???

I interviewed for a job in my town last week. I did not get that job, but they decided I would be perfect for a similar job an hour away. There is NO way I can move at this time. I JUST MOVED last week--literally. I'm tired and I'm broke and I am finally settling in. The commute is one hour with normal traffic. I can imagine it being much worse in rush hour. The pay offer would be just fine if it were here in my city, but for that much driving/gas the offer is nowhere near enough. I did the math and I will be putting $250 per month in my car in gas.

Should I even consider this offer? Should I ask for more money? I need advice.

she's insecure
you are impatient for the career development because your boss has the right title and position but the wrong competencies and she gets all the visibility that you should be getting. her poor business judgment has caused you a couple of deals.

I have 10 years practical work experience in my field. I recently left my old job and in the interviewing process I find that recruiters and HR persons are eliminating me from the pool without further investigation or interview simply because I did not go to a top 25 school. My school is ABA accredited and my work history and experience is top notch. What's the problem and how do I get around this?

Situation: A person is hired as a manager, then when the workload required two people, the manager voluntarily requested a senior staff role to focus on mentoring junior team members and addressing immediate needs of the organization. The now former manager suggested to the company that they bring in a director above him to manage the leadership team as well as champion the team's efforts.

During this time, another senior staff member was added to the team so now the former manager and the newer staff member are peers. A company-wide announcement was issued by the VP of the team detailing the former manager's new role.

The company has decided they need to layoff people across the company and for the purposes of the layoff changed the former manager's title from senior staff member back to manager. Now the manager has no peers. The former manager is an African-American male-40 years old. The only people on this team who were impacted were also the only two African-Americans on the team.

I can provide additional details if needed.

This is the first company that I ever worked for that I had a boss that steals my ideas and lies constantly! My boss always invites me to lunch were he likes to talk about work and pick my brain. After a few luncheons I realized that any suggestions and ideas that I would give him he would use in the office and take credit for it!!! Not only that I have caught him in quite a few lies bold faced ones and he spends more time walking around the office bragging about his past accomplishments and who he knows then he does working . On top of all this I was due up for my yearly review and he keeps putting it off. I have approached him twice about it and he I guess you could say he "sticks a pacifier in my mouth" by saying I will make time for your review and never does. Even though I am extremely frustrated and irritated I like the work I do and the company but I can not stand him as my boss. What can I do and approaching his boss in not an option. Help!!!

I was dismissed from my last job as I suffer from migraines, but now that I am feeling better and have not suffered from a migraine for over a month, I am looking at finding work again.

I recently applied for a job and looks like I didn't get it because my references on my resume/CV have given me bad references when the potential employer has called them.

What do I do????????
