Today I had a full-court press interview with pretty much everyone in a company I'm looking at. The CEO, CMO, CFO all started with me, then I was passed on to a 4-person peer-level panel, then I made a presentation attended by these 7 plus an additional 7 or 8 others to whom I was never introduced.

So to whom do I write my thank you?

My coworker is a partier. She always has to follow her friends. My friends this , my friends that. My friends wanted to go so i went. my friends wanted to drink so we drank. She's an alcoholic by theway.. she says she always goes to drink. I can't count how many times she keeps saying when she goes out with friends, it is for drinking.

Anyways, so far she's gotten out of work early or all day long for things such as Have to go help my friend move( what the??? ), have to go to friends graduation( oh man),
have to get out early because it's my birthday.

What the f**? IF you're serious about work, wouldn't you leave those kind of things for later? In the 5 months we've been here working.. She's left or beenabsent from work for so many days for those kind of reasons. while i only went 2 times to the doctor.

I have just started interviewing.. 2 recruiters, (No calls yet after a week and a half) I did have an interview today.. (they solicited me) Todays interview was TAG team and after 20 minutes of standard questions, the "corporate" representative starts to look around as if she is BORED!! The other interviewer asked a few more questions and then asks "corporate" if she has any other questions for me. She replies "All Set" in a very snippy way. (putting it nicely) Ok, so, they arent interested, right?? Then why does interviewer #1 ask for my email address to send me the job description?? THEN she says, "If you dont hear from me in about 2 weeks, give me a call."

This question is long winded, and two fold, sorry, but I dont get why potential employers cant just say.. " I am sorry, we are looking for...... Thank you for your time." Anyone? Anyone?

Also, do recruiters actually help you??

My husband has a job interview in the next couple of weeks and needs a week off in September. Do you think it would be wise of him to tell them during the interview or wait until he gets accepted for the job and then let them know?

Since September I have worked as a Kindergarten teacher at a day care with a private kindergarten. I have my bachelors degree in Elementary Education and I want to be in a public school. Because where I work now is a day care, it is a full time position and I am currently doing summer camp. The work enviornment has become awful and boarders harassment (the directors son is in summer camp and is not very well behaved, I went to speak with her about it almost a month ago and she has treated me like crap ever since because I am "picking on her son"). I have two interviews this Wednesday for public school positions and I know that I will be fired if I call in sick or ask off. I have decided to quit for numorous reasons but I'm not sure how giving the cercumstances. Should I give them a two weeks notice tomorrow then call in sick on Wednesday, or should I just quit tomorrow? I will not be using them as a reference.

I received a voice mail message on my cell phone over the weekend from an employer (Company A) who interviewed me last Friday morning. The company offered me the job. I was caught completely off guard as the main interviewer said that the decision to hire for the position would be made in a week after they interview several other people for the opening. The problem is that I have another job interview (Company B) tomorrow afternoon. How do I hold off the first offer until I can speak with the other company? Especially what should I tell Company A?

I only plan on working for a year because I will be starting graduate school for military history/defense studies next year, so ideally I'd like to work in something having to do with government, military or politics because that's what I want to do for my career. I live in Los Angeles so there is definitely a lot out there, but from what I've seen in my search so far, it seems nothing in the government sector is entry-level or suitable for recent grads because they all want experience and extensive training. I don't want to spend so much time training because I'll be leaving within a year. Anybody have any ideas on what could be a good job for me?

Why do they take like an hour to fill out with like a million weird questions instead of just being like the paper application? Especially since for the most part it's a waste of time because very few who apply will even get hired (or even interviewed), which makes the information they're asking useless.

Hey,
so I work at a store and I wanted to work in the Deli, however the only place they could hire me was cash. So I took it, I wanted the job and the money. Now there is an opening in the Deli, so I want to ask to get transfered into the Deli, but I was just wondering, what kind of stuff do you need to do, apart from the obvious like cutting meats.
Thank you

Wrongful Termination at Sam's Club 6625 at San Fernando California 91340

Gabriel H Peregrino is the Tire and Battery Associate that lied on Saturday, 21 April 2007. He wrote a lie stating that I was aggressive, but he only exaggerates and is vindictive. He is a slacker and Ambrosio Galvan and Bill Lang know this but will not admit since they can be fired for any reason since people in California can be terminated At Will.

The following implicates Club Manager Fidel Jacobo

Saturday, 21 April 2007
16:27 PDST
To Sam's Club Asset Protection and management
From Waller, Max Rafael

Incidence

TBC Assoc Gabriel (Assoc ID 2216) did not want to raise the vehicle for mounting and the easier task, the tire of the vehicle. About two week ago he and I had a great half hour talk about animation or know as cartoons. I thought we were having some kind of association but I am wrong. This took place around 13:07 PDST so please review the surveillance tape. You will also see the pranks others have played on me. Review all from two weeks back. Gabriel and I pushed each other. Ambrosio Galvan and Bill Lang know his work habits. Thank you for opening this investigation. I am aware of what constitutes a Hostile Work Place Environment. You, Fidel Jacobo, have been told of TBC Associates works habits. You have not addressed this in any document meeting.

Show the surveillance video as proof. The video would exonerate me of their false charges.

I believe that I was terminated since California is a At-Will Employment state

William Gregory Lang or Bill Lang transferred to a Sam's Club near Palmer Lake in Colorado in early June 2007.

Mr. Lang used to be trusted by me who made the mistake of telling him everything before the Termination on Monday, 23 April 2007.

Bill Lang knows the dirt of Sam's Club 6625 and had told some people in the Club that almost everyone hates Fidel Jacobo and that is why a lot of people quit Sam's Club 6625.

Team Lead Ambrosio Galvan also knows a lot of dirty secrets at Sam's Club 6625, but is nervous about losing his job if he sides with me

Sam's Club PD-57 Investigation/Suspension was NOT adhering to by Club Manager Fidel Jacobo and Membership Manager Esperanza Lopez.

Read the complete policy, PD-57, at the end.

No documentation of any complaints and the San Fernando Police Department or the Los Angeles Police Department ever showed for a "Work Place Violence."

Please show proof since one complaint and one video tape does NOT establish Workplace Violence.

SHOW THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO!!!

Neither Mr. Jacobo nor Ms Lopez wanted to sign the papers of any meeting between two managers and me for Legal Documentation.

No meetings to address any potential problems at the Tire and Battery Center were brought up by the Team Lead or Management.

As of Monday, 9 April 2007, the people of the Tire Shop are playing pranks and making it appear as if I was becoming forgetful such as the misplacement of tools and personal safety gear.

The suspects are Erick Miron and Mark Castro.

Esperanza Lopez was told and never had a meeting to discuss the topics brought to her attention by me.

Esperanza Lopez was asked to verify this by reviewing the Surveillance video tapes and my request was not honored.

Esperanza Lopez was told about the pranks about two weeks ago but no meeting to diffuse or address serious matters was conducted.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc does not always follow their guidelines and fire anyone that does not allow their selves to be intimidated!!!

In the early 1990s Esperanza Lopez used to be a cashier at Tres Sierras Store #1 in Pacoima CA 91331 but when she became a manager she was as a friendly to old friends of the Delgado Family. Esperanza's nickname was "Pera."

Esperanza Lopez is a decent manager BUT only honors the request (s) of those that will help her career or that she likes.

If I can get a good attorney I might be able to file the following complaints.

Discriminations types; Disparate Treatment and Disparate Impact

The Waller Family will pray for everyone that is against me

Erick Miron always complained about classical music and started a rumor and told Marco Arins that he and I had a physical fight.

I, Max Rafael Waller, formerly Assoc ID 0035 and Operator 007 proudly served from Tuesday, 13 November 1990 - Monday, 23 April 2007 and only needed about nine years to do a minimal of twenty-five years to retire from Wal Mart Stores, Inc. I was one hundred percent vested in Profit Sharing and had a one month vacation allocated per year.

I am a share holder Wal Mart Stores, Inc stock and I have about 11 shares so he has vested interest at the time of termination.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

December 2006 Mehmet Ekinci {A Hatchet Man and sent to "clean House" is no longer there but in Fresno California according to Mr. Jason Fastner} said that he was replacing everyone in the tire shop or its proper title: Tire and Battery Center according to Jeff Lopez {no longer work there} and Mark Castro {has recanted} and Bill Lang heard indirectly but will deny it. Max Rafael Waller studied all of Wal-Mart policies and found that if that his remark {INTIMIDATION} could be verified then he would get a coaching for making such a remark. The others are scared to tell the truth.

According to Art who works for the California EDD at http://www.edd.ca.gov/ my ex boss told him that I was fired for
1) Work Place Violence
and
2) Verbal Altercation.

Fidel Jacobo was doing his best so that I would not receive unemployment.

I am receiving unemployment since there was no meeting to talk about Work Place Violence.

People that are fired/terminated due to violence will NOT receive Unemployment Compensation which is commonly known as Unemployment Pay.

On Saturday, 12 May 2007 a relative of mine two Sam's Club 6625 associates possibly a Check Out Supervisor Jay and a female spreading misinformation at Wireless Communication #1, 11916 Foothill Blvd, Lake View Terrace CA 91342; Telephone:1-818-897-1477 and Fax:1-818-897-1467

If Wal-Mart / Sam's Club 6625 could negate what I have written, then I would be in legal trouble.

A lot of information came from Bill Lang who is an insider.

If the investigation is the result of an Open Door, it is the salaried member of management's responsibility to follow up with the reporting Associate. The salaried member of management should ensure the Associate understands how and why the resolution was determined. If the Associate still has unresolved concerns, the Associate should be directed to the next level supervision.

Whenever I go on an interview and the interviewer is a woman, I don't get the job. When I go on an interview with a man as the interviewer, I get the job. It's really strange. I've only been hired once by a woman and she was homosexual (no offense to anyone). It makes it very difficult for me to get a job because most of the interviews I go to have a female interviewer.

Plus I'm going to school for fashion/retail and I've never worked in retail. I believe it could be because all the interviews I go to for retail jobs have female interviewers. Am I being discriminated against?

I was recruited after graduation (3.5 GPA) for a job &
went to 3 interviews and 2 job shadows ...then after the last time I have not heard back...the only thing negative that happened the whole time was in the 1st interview the recruiter said because of my age they would have to find the right team for me to be working with because it wouldn't be right working with younger people...that gave me a weird feeling right away..isn't that like saying to a different race that you can only work with people that are your race...isn't that against the law? I have called the place where the last meeting was and never recieved a call back ( rude?) and also emailed the regional director and said in a nice way that I was open to another meeting or job shadow...should I call the person who was recruiting me? The last meeting was June 19th. I was self employed for years before I went back to school ...so all this corporate stuff is new to me..does it really take 3 weeks to get back to someone
