I live in a large metropolitan city and I hate it! I've decided to move and I've interviewed and been offered a position with another company in a much smaller state/city.

The pay is comparable; the benefits as well. I was working with a recruiter and he pressured me into giving a decision regarding if I was going to accept the position - I did.

I have an interview scheduled with another company next week - a somewhat larger city - with comparable pay and benefits.

My biggest concern is the first place - where I've accepted - has been wonderful. They're working to find me a place to live and they've been very hospitable.

I don't have the best credit and I'm really worried about finding a place to live in this other city in a reasonable amount of time -without having to pay through the nose.

There's also no guarantee I'll get the other job - but I have a REALLY good chance.

Any suggestions? I'm really confused about what I should do - which job I should take?

You see I have one. My currnt boss does not want me to work for her any more becouse of it. I have been trying to get a new job becouse she just keeps me on call all week. However when I explain about it in an interview. Well this look comes on a persons face and I just know that I am not going to get this job. So workers why won't they let a person like me have a part time job?

Do any one know how they go about rating the background check when appling for a nursing job.

So sometimes u have to pay consequences 4 things like this if you dont research. Any advice I would greatly appreciate it.....

My friend works for a company, where the Assistant General Manager has been trying to get him fired for the longest while, but he cannot fire him, because he has no real grounds. First he accuses him of using company property for personal reasons, this was refuted and found that my brother was not. He has told my friend to not do works that the General Manager assigned him, and we know the motive would be he would have proof that he is disrespectful! Next he accuses him of stealing, and this too was refuted. Now he is accusing him of having sexual relations with another employee on company promises. This is also not true. Is this considered harassment? What can be done about it? There are so many more, but way too much to mention! Desperately seeking some advice!!!

i havent received any kind of response yet.
im about 3 and half months new at this job and i didnt want to get into any kind of trouble by keeping the money so i emailed "the boss" and told him they made a mistake. i get direct deposit so money is automatically deposited into my bank account every 2 weeks. so it isnt a check they can send back.. its already there in my account.
do you think i shouldnt have emailed him and just kept the money?
(it was about $100 more than my usual pay)

i was just curious as to what anyone would do in my situation..
and im a little nervous since i havent had any kind of response yet.
(im hoping they let me keep the money but ill understand if i cant)

ever been in a situation like this?

What are some well-paying jobs? I'm currently a freshmen in undergrad school, but I'm completely willing to go to prof. school. I just have no idea what I want to do with my life. I want a career that is in demand, or is at least attainable if I get high grades. I also want something that has a high salary if I work hard. What are my options? If you're going to say law, what types of law are best to study?

The managers are going to make an announcement on Monday, that they going to have to let us go.

Because the company is not making any money

I have looked at the contract and there is no mention of time they are allowed to give when they are terminating a contract

One manager told me that I may have 2 weeks as I have been with the company for a year

Could someone advise me?

I work 8-5 M-F. I am a secretary in a garage. I so far today have done my work orders for Monday, cleaned my office, cleaned the bathroom, read the paper, filed and painted my nails, filed my paperwork for the week, done the deposit, played games on POGO, talked to my sister, answered and asked a bunch of questions on here, swept the empty work bays, processed the mail, and there are still 1.5 hours left in my day. What else can I do to fill the time. Winter is a slow time for us but my boss wants me here all day just to answer the phone so it doesn't bug him while he's working. Any suggestions?
