I cancelled my job interview after realizing that the commute was far but after much research realized that there are many alternate route to the location. The position is a great opportunity for me. It's doing what I really like to do and do best. I am thinking of contacting the HR person to have them reconsider but I'm not sure what kind of a response I would get. Should I ask anyway?

and making progress. He said that after that, they will judge how I am doing at my work and if I do good or make progress, they can change me to full-time, if not, it won't change to full-time.. He also said that he likes me to make progress on the job and move on to learn other new things too..

What do you think about all these and why he decides to change my hours to part-time and what you think I can do?? I also think that there are many other full-time jobs out there and I think I can easily find one if I quit this one since they are going to switch me to part-time. Do you think I should quit or not and what other advice you have?? I just think the ppl in the office too are not very organized or stick to their words or say things that are not true...Like they insist that they have showed me how to do some things when they haven't....

I was informed at a meeting today that my boss was taking a leave of absence for personal reasons. I wasn't at the meeting, I was conferenced in via phone.She will be gone for an undisclosed or unknown amount of time. Everyone was just silent and I could hear her cry. There was no explaination given and this was totally out of the blue. All I could say was "God bless, and I hope I see you very soon."
I want to know what the appropriate thing to say to her is when I see or talk to her again, or if I should send her a card or something (I'd like to). I don't know what is the matter and my imagination is running wild...sick? family member dying?quietly being fired? I really admire her and I wish I could say something while at the same time respecting her wish for privacy. I've worked for her for 3 years and she's seen me through some tough times.

After many months of searching, I finally have an interview with a major global food/beverage corporation! I'm excited and extremely nervous at the same time...(this is the career move I’ve been waiting for, from here I can work my way UP) I passed my first interview, however my next interview will takes place with several top executives within the department I've applied to (I’ve been provided with an interview schedule for the morning)



Currently, I've held the same job for 7 years, and I have a limited amount of "job interview" experience. I've researched online and collected a few tip hear and there...however personal experience is always a plus....I would like to hear of any personal experience or suggestions you might be willing to share.

Enjoy your weekend.

Few days back I received a good Job offer that I accepted but before 2 days of joining one of the manager told me that I would set on another place as we dont have any place in our offices, and that was really weired, though the job offer was good everything was fine my position is sales coordinator but since I came to know abt my office I dont wanna join them,
Plz let me help to draft a letter mentioning this reason to the upper management and asking them if they can give me proper place to sit then ok otherwise I will not join U,
Appreciated your as much as possible answers. what is the best way to write professional email? As I cannot meet the management directly that's why email is the only way.
Thx

I originally applied for one of five locations near my home, but was asked to take a position at a location 3 hours away with a promise of a transfer when a position became available near home. When I'd ask about a transfer I kept getting told that the situation was fragile, we were under staffed, and if I could hold on a bit longer to get the location stabilized. This happened four times.

My wife has been upset because I haven't been able to help her with things, because I'm either on the bus or working. Yesterday, I had a hard time getting to work, then once there I called my wife about doing something for me, next thing you know we're arguing, badly, for a stupid reason. Then I had an argument with another employee. While arguing with him I had a sort of epiphany.

Here's the scoop: I moved cross country to New York City a couple of months ago without a job lined up. I moved primarily to advance my career in the retail industry. After 2 months of living in this expensive city without a job, I was relieved to get my first offer yesterday for an Associate Merchandise Planner position. Though relieved, I didn't feel too excited. The salary offered was about $5k less than I had hoped, but about $5k more than I was making in my last job in CA. However, I do not have experience in this particular job. My last job was related but not very closely.

It would definitely be a great start, but I don't feel like I'd be totally content with the pay, especially with the cost of living here. It's on the low end for the salary range on salary.com for NYC. I am new to this salary negotiation stuff and would greatly appreciate some good advice. Thanks so much!

5 years ago I had a high paying admistrative job and then for flexability because of putting myself thru school, I started waitressing full time while taking classes part time. I had done that until now where I have graduated with a degree and want to get back into the admin field. I just don't know if I should list the restaurant jobs or how to list them. I know I need to list the old admin jobs-I was there for years-but they were so long ago and I don't want a scroll for a resume! I am thinking of seeking professional help...what do y'all think?

I accepted a job offer through the phone from a HR person. He emailed me all the paperwork, employment package, etc.

Who should I make the Job Acceptance Letter to? The HR person or the Director?
or I should not write it because the start date is less than a week and HR just told me to come in on that date?

My co-worker talks too much about her personal life with me. She constantly comes to my desk and talks about her daughter, husband, parents, etc.

I don't like to talk about my past or personal life because its painful. I also believe that work and personal life do not mix.

How do I change the subject to profesional topics without appearing too obvious? She does this with everyone and I find it boring and unprofessional.

The interviewer told me I'd hear from him at the end of the month. I've already sent the customary follow up after my interview, but should I send another one in the interim, I feel like he forgot about me.

I'm not going to do it, but it is so tempting. I live in Northwest Florida and it is 59º here this morning and just GORGEOUS. It is one of those days I just would like to call in even though the office is only open a half day. What kind of excuse would you use? Come on be creative.

I wish I could choose to go into a field that has high demand, but my only real passion and interests are in art/design. To me, interior design honestly seems the most practical, but is there really enough demand in the job market? I've been asking around and people tell me to go into what my heart is in, and I definitely do strongly lean towards art, though I just don't want to waste my time and effort. I guess I'm just looking for reassurance or advice on interior design and jobs in the art/design area in general.

I interviewed for a job and the company said they were going to get back to me, but did not for two weeks. I had gone on three Interviews and they also told me I was the final candidate.

They finally called and said they hired someone else.

I sent them a strong e-mail saying that they should have called me when they said and that they should not make statements that they can't support.

I shared the e-mail with a co-worker and the company's response.

Now, she laughs at me when I mention it. I feel embarassed about it.

She also constantly talks about her daughter. She is 13 and my co-worker feeds, bathes and overprotects her. She is afraid to go for a walk and leave her at home alone.

My daughter is 15 and lives with her Dad in another state.

I have not told her this and don't plan to. She would probably be so apalled at me.

We go for walks and lunch. I try to change the subject and talk neutral topics.

Any other suggestions.
