Careers & Employment - December 2007

I applied for a job. The HR office mailed and asked me to fill an application data form (Demographic data such as race, origin of birth, military status)

They claimed after they received the demogrpahic data. They will review my application.

Since I have applied for the job. I have been updated my resume. Should I send the new resume, cover letter, and references to them? Do you think I have a chance? Please advice. Thank you

The way I see it, I only want a job for the money. I don't really have an avid interest in anything besides video games, and cars. But from what I see, I don't really want to be a video game programmer or a car mechanic. Both aren't that great paying or exactly something to be proud of.

So is it wrong to want a high paying job, just because of the salary?

My most recent job performance review includes the statement that I do not work a full 40 hours per week. I proved that the supporting data used for the accusation was inaccurate on many days (I had several emails which were sent AFTER the report said I logged off my computer on several days). Furthermore, the IS employee who provided my boss the report stated that they currently have no accurate method of measuring employee's login and logoff times, and the report should not be used to prove the number of working hours.

I asked my supervisor to remove the statement of not working 40 hours per week since I proved it as inaccurate. He refused to remove the comment, but instead allowed me to write a rebuttal letter that would be attached to my review.

I am employed in Michigan, and am considered as an "at will" employee. I do not work under any contract. Is a supervisor free to include any information he/she wants to in an employee review?

I'm a 43 y/o male nurse and have been a nurse for 13 years. I have worked in ICU/telemetry and have also worked in hospice homecare. I'm currently working in a rehab facility. I am very much a type "B" person---I'm laid back, more of a "thinker", and I don't do well with stress and constant distractions, which seem to be such a factor in nursing work. I'm reluctant to leave nursing as I like the pay, but what area or related area in nursing could I work and still be happy?

I have been unemployed since January. I have applied for 300 jobs, attended over 20 interviews and registered with many agencies for a variety of jobs with no success. I haven't managed to get an interview for nearly 2 months, and I am now extremely worried about my life prospects. Is there any hope for me?

Here is the situation. I am a Data Analyst with over 9 years experience, and my salary is only 40% of what the average is. I always find and fix problems that save the company well over what they pay me. I have recently discovered $279,000 in over-billings to our company that I am cleaning up, and they are aware of, but I was not given a raise. I just discovered $150,000 in other undiscovered "overbillings" to our company that I have not told anyone about yet. I am debating if I should kind of blackmale them and use that to get a raise. I know it's not right to blackmale, but it's not right for them to pay me only 40% of what my salary should be when I'm doing this type of work for them, that only someone with 9 years experience for them would discover. The overbillings are unnoticed by them because it matches what the expected billings are, but I have discovered that the expected billings are incorrect. Should I blackmale them and use this to get a raise?

She (the MD) treats him very differently and gives him special treatment which I think it's really unfair. Other staff feel the same way but we're not sure what to do about it, any ideas.

I quit my job to pursue my doctorate and some entreprenuerial endeavors. However, I would still like to draw unemployment if I can. I was a teacher at a post secondary school and they begen to drop on enrollements which cut my class size and reduced me to one evening class. The company also did away with a regional position I was awarded in total it took $2200 a month out of my pocket. I was with this company for over 2 years. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am so sick of working minumum wage doing retail (and food). I am almost done with my Associates of Science degree and I am beginning to get impatient. Is there any kind of job I can snag with an Associates of Science? Anything at all? Answering phones somewhere, an internship, ANYTHING? I can't take it anymore. I don't want to be in retail until I get my bachelors.

My boyfriend works for a high street retailer and he has got extremely frustrated with the fact that they keep their employees in after closing to shut the shop but don't pay them for this extra time. He works until closing three times a week and although he is only paid until the hour (e.g. 6pm, 7pm, etc.) he is usually in the shop until about half past closing up. Is this legal?

I have been working for this company for last 3 years and handling all projects on my own. I have 6 people under me. Last month my boss recruited one person above me who has no idea of the work. He has a different background. Now, I have to report to him even if he doesn't understand the details of my work. Sometimes he asks stupid & irratic questions. I started feeling frustrated. Its humilation for me to work under such a person.
Now, I am thinking of quiting. Am I making a right decision?

Please help!!
