When a job does a background check what do they look for? Is High School Graduation part of that, or something else??

There are young adults who are giving up life to just live in their own apartments. I say apartments cause they can not afford any houses.Giving up life like no living to feel free always on the go and always needing to be somewhere like another job. Is this what America is protecting from the illegal immigrants? Could the govenment not cut their budgets more and allow some of the monies to go to higher wages for legal citizens?

my supervisor scheduled me from 2-6 on Friday, we are completely staffed, I work in a bank and since everyone will be there, there will be no place for me to work a window. I think it would be such a waste of time to come in and just work just 4 hours, we get 6 sick days a year and so far I have just used 1 day. It is not like I am going to be putting in any over time or anything like that also.

After losing my job F/T at the hotel, within a day, I was called by the temp agency I was registered with. It was suppose to be a "temp to hire" position. I was into the job for almost the 2nd full month. Their business had slowed down, and decided to end my assignment on Monday. This was the only temp job I've ever had. The agency said they were going to keep looking to place me, but I haven't heard anything yet.
What I need to know.....Can I collect unemployment in the meantime...going back on the hotel, since they let me go??? I cannot go without any pay for very long, next week I will only have a one day paycheck!!
I live in NY. I don't know how the laws differ from state to state.

One of our co-workers quit 3 months ago, and her job duties were distributed among 3 of us, so we wouldn't have to hire another person. Our boss told us that he will RE ASSESS the situation after 3 months and mubled something about raises. So all 3 of us thought we were getting raises after 3 months by doing a good job and performing additional duties. One of us brought up to his attention that 3 months are almost up and if he is goign to be including raises in the next payroll.
Well the boss FLIPPED OUT when he heard this, he was being very defensive and the comment made him angry. He proceeded to MEMOing us by saying "there has been a big confusion and mistake" "There is no raises coming right now or in the near future." "so please if there was confusion I am sorry but we can't do any raises".

He WENT BACK on his word!!!!! what can we do to bring this issue to his attention? What should we say?

What ELSE could he mean by "reassessment" .

The process of re-determining

I applied for a position with a hotel last week online. So far I have participated in a phone interview, met with the manager and the director of operations, that was this past tuesday. The interview went quite well actually. I met with the manager of the department for about 30 minutes, and everything seemed great. She said she would like for me to meet the Director of Operations, so I did. Again, I think it went quite well. After we were done speaking she said ok, orientation would be in about 3 weeks. She then advised the manager to check my references. Upon leaving the manager advised me I would hear back either that day or the following day. I sent a thank you e-mail yesterday morning. It is now Thursday and I still have not heard anything. My question is: should I call tomorrow to follow up?

I have a small problem. normally I would wear a business suit to an interview but I had surgery on my shoulder and I cannot wear a business suit because I am unable to put my arms over my head and I would be unable to zip up the dress w/a zipper in the back.

The interview is at a banking firm so the dress is very business. I am unsure what to wear. I have a black shirt dress that is below the knee. Would that be acceptable? Or just wear a button up shirt and dress pants?

How to I communicate to potential employers that I want a job where I can stay for the next 10-15 years and I am loyal?

OK, I just grduated from law school. Now, 2 companies want to hire me, comapny A and company B.

Company A: I trained there before, I know one of the partners who is VERYYYY successful, and I would be working in his team. Bigger firm than company B (second biggest in my country), lower sallary (but I TRUELY don't mind, the difference ain't that big anyway). Right next to me, will be walking to go there which is aplus because traffic here is horrible.

Company B: Smaller firm, yet a big one. 4th or 5th biggest here in my country. Bigger sallary, but would have the title of "trainee" for 2 years, and THEN specialize. 30 mins by car, traffic and parking are horrible.

How can I choose???? Thanks!

A company I'm interviewing with wants me to fly to Chicago and I am in NYC. I can't afford to fly out there and stay in a hotel but I'm guessing I shouldn't have to. However, nothing about being reimbursed was brought up. I was simply asked if I could fly to Chicago for an interview (via email), I have not yet responded. How should I proceed?
