I quit my last job to be a stay at home mom for a while, and it's been about 1 and 1/2 years, and I am looking for work now but will this make me look bad that I have not been working?

I am a 33 y/o caucasian male. I have a high school diploma, couple of college classes, and completed a 4 year electricians apprenticeship(I am a Journeyman). Previously, I have warehouse, manufacturing, and bartending experience. Currently I am working as an electrician and pizza delivery driver. None of these have been my dream job. I prefer limited contact with others. I don't mind working long hours. I don't like talking on the phone. I live in Atlanta and am limited to jobs in the Atlanta area. My interests/hobbies include reading, cooking, scuba diving, and juijitsu, however, I rarely get to indulge in any of these(I work almost 80 hours a week). I am curious to hear all suggestions. Thanks.

My boyfriend and I were at the mall when this guy and his wife started talking to us about some things in the mall. He then asked us if we were ambitious and what we do. We told him we are students and have part time jobs. He told us that he has a business that is very successful that connects companies to other companies and uses the internet. He told us we should talk a little more about it and so we gave him our number. He called and wants to get together at a local place to talk about it. Him and his wife both seem nice. I could see this either way, good or bad. I know that businesses know young people are eager to make money and may jump at any opportunity and he may just want to take advantage of us. And I could see it as he is truly a good person just looking for new ideas for his company and know that young people could benefit his company. We are still skeptical and haven't accepted it as good or bad yet. What do you think? Any advice on how to tell if it's a scam or not?

I got called for a college interview on Sunday, but I assure you that the problem warrants a real business interview procedure/etiquette perspective. I got the call and my mom came to me with the phone saying, "this is Joe Smith from the University calling" so we set up the interview and I didn't realize he didn't say his name to me again. Then my mom came in after and said "Did you catch his name? I'm not sure I heard him correctly. I thought he was going to say this is [your friend] Sam that I think it was Joe Smith but I could be wrong due to 'shock.'" Anyway, I called up the University and the best they could do was dispatch another phone call to him and request that he call me again. But I thought this was kind of silly; we got off to a really great start on the phone and I would hate to have him call me again and have me ask him just what his name is! So, what do I do? I have his number. I was thinking of (CONTINUED ...)

Hello

I work in NJ for a multinational firm for the past two years. I want to quit my job as I have a better offer

If I give two weeks notice tomorrow, 21 Nov, is it acceptable to say my last day would be Dec 5? I ask becasue the two day holiday comes into the picture.

I need to be out of the country for an important occasion by the 5 th and so need to resign quickly and see if a couple of days short of two weeks is okay or not.

I am on good terms with my employer and I think if I explain, he should not mind so much.

I am actually waiting for a background check to clear and they say it will be complete tomorrow.

I know I have nothing adverse in it to harm my position, but am still waiting for the surety from the future employers.

Some people I asked opinions of said there is no need to wait as if there is no problem in the background, the check will be fine and i can resign today also.

Please advise!!

Hello. I work in insurance. Although I have 2 and a half years experience my current employers still only pay me £13k, and considering I live in a 2 bedroom house and my take home pay is £900 i'm left with virtually nothing each month after bills.

So i'm starting a new job on 3rd Dec, doing the same thing but for £15k. Another couple of people from my current office have left to work for this company, and now one of them has come back to this employer saying how bad the other company were, and how they have a huge backlog, and that everyone is really unfriendly.

This guy is lovely and easy to get on with so if he's asked to come back he mustve been desperate.

I'm worried that i'm not going to like it at this new job. But I can't come back as i've just got a mortgage and can't afford the repayments on £13k.

What should I do?

Well, I've recently left my job due to illness, but before then I was off sick for quite some time.

At first I had actual sick notes from my doctor, but after that I didn't. Now I know I got paid whilst I had the sick notes, but I think I have been paid after then too..
As I said, I've now left the job, but I'm worrying that they will ask for the money they paid me back as obviously I had to live off that during the time I was off (and now also), so I was wondering, do they have the right to ask for the money back or since they chose to pay me whilst I didn't have sick notes, do I reserve the right to keep it? (Even though it's already gone on food, rent, bills etc.)

Thanks to anyone who helps me, I'm getting sleepless nights with worrying about going into debt so any help is appreciated =)

I'm graduating with a B.S in May in a Graphic design related major. How will I find an entry level job when all of them want you to have like 3 years of experience at minimum? I can't get said experience if no one is willing to hire fresh out of school...I'm sure some of you out there have jumped over this hurdle?

I'm starting a new job in approximately three weeks however within the first week I start is my A Level certificate day which is quite a big thing to me as it's at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and it's almost like a graduation day with parents attending etc. I'd like to go but feel maybe it would sound awful if I requested time off in the first week of starting this job. Should I just keep my mouth shut and not go, or talk to them and see what they say? I don't want to appear undedicated but at the same time I'd like to go.

Thanks in advance for answers...

At a job interview, should you take off your outdoor coat or just unzip it? The kind of coat I'm talking about is something like a raincoat or duffel coat.

I am being offered a consulting job in Nigeria for about 12 working days; however this also would include spending two unpaid weekends there. I've worked for other companies and they would pay for a flight home every weekend. I would be ok with spending one weekend there, but two unpaid weekends seems like I'm being taken for granted. Any advice?

Ok, I work in a small Optometry business that only has 3 employees, the Optometrist/Owner, a Trainee and myself, and I'm only getting $29,000 Aus. dollars a year. Someone's suggested I apply for a job with a building company earning +$40,000 a year. I really would like to try to go for it, but I feel I am obligated to my current employer.

I feel he deserves more than a quick letter of resignation and 2 weeks notice, especially this time of year. Does anyone have any advice on some ways I could go about it?

I am a single mom with a part time job at my daughters daycare. I work there so that I dont miss out on my daughter, get a discount on child care, and so that I can financially provide for our family.

I work 15-20 hours a week as a fill in (someone calls in sick- Im the back up)
Unfortunatly it's not paying all the bills. I need a job that I can work random days-no set schedule ( b/c I work different days every wk at my daughters daycare).

Any suggestions on EXTREAMLY flexible job?
