The 90 day trial stipulation basically states that you will begin all the new job responsibilities of a manager immediatly. However, you will continue being paid as a regular employee for 90 days. At the end of the 90 days, there will be a formal evaluation to determine if the responsibilities are being fully fullfilled. If they are then the pay raise will begin, and will reflect on the next paycheck (4 months from the first day of taking on the responsibilities). If they are not being fullfilled, then the trail period will continue without a pay increase until they are met.

Is this normal? Or even legal? Can you increase an employees work load without gaurenteeing a pay increase? Seems like some BS to me. Ever heard of it?

To be completely honest, I don't want to head straight for the managers job. I don't have those skills, I'd much rather work my way up the ladder.

I have an interview today and I know one of the questions is going to be what are your three weaknesses. Honestly I can not think of any. I'm sure I have some, for example chocolate and puppies, but I can not say that in a job interview. Please help by telling me some of yours.. Thanks

I'm remembering some jobs I had a long time ago as a ticketseller at an old, one-screen movie theatre & at an amusement park. Also, a lot of people at reception desks or information desks look like they have nothing to do much of the time. (I'm not as lazy as I sound; I'm looking for a way to pay the bills while maximizing the time I can spend working on my novel.)

My girlfriend wanted to be a nurse. Right now she works as a outpatient specialist at a hospital while she is going to community college. She is pretty tough, but doesn't think she can take some of the messier things that nurses do. What other profession, without steering too much away from nurse/healthcare, would be good for her? Keep in mind that she goes to community college... Thanks!!

But now I have been offered another part time job at a McDonalds in the next town. The two stores have different owners. I want both part time jobs. It is better than working more hours at one place because of some reasons. Do I need to tell my manager at the first place that I am going to work at the second place? The manager at the second place already knows I work at the first place. But I am afraid the manager at the first place might really get mad. He has a bad temper. One time when I got to work just two minutes late he called me two or more bad words and he threatened to frighten me. Oh, whatever shall I do?

Alright here's whats happening, I sent about 10 resumes out on Monday and got a response for two jobs by Wednesday (today) and one of them, i have an interview for tomorrow. The thing is, the work hours really aren't what i am looking for, but i am desperate for a job in the finance industry and this jobs gives me exposure. The thing is, this job starts on Monday and over the phone, it sounded like they were kind of desperate to get me to start work asap. . I sent out 10 resumes and have only got back two responses so far (2days) so i do expect more in the coming week or so. I don't want to start and then have to leave the job if i find something better for me. Since this job isn't my first choice, i want to know what kind of options i have.

My niece has just received a job offer in the city where I live. She would like to relocate here. She had a phone interview with the president of a company here and I noticed in the string of emails (which she sent me) that she sent him two recent pictures. He must have asked her for them over the phone, because I didn't see a request in the chain of emails.

She is coming to town this week to meet the employer (the president) and the rest of the people she would be working with. I realize that having only had phone contact, that he might be curious as to what she looked like. But I didn't like that she sent him pictures. Am I being too paranoid?

Please, serious answers only.

Hi,

Should I apply again for an job that I scheduled an interview with, but then backed out and left a message that I decided not to persue the position. Today they posted the position again on their website, and I was having second thoughts. Stupid of me to cancel, I know. What do you all think?

Thanks.
