I’m applying for a job at a hospital, and I can’t find the name of the human-resources manager or director of the department anywhere on the website. Is it okay to address my cover to noone in particular?

Help me!
Tomorrow I´m having a one-on-one interview with the HR Director of Latin America in my company.
Within the next six months, it is planned that I will be promoted into my boss´ role (I am an HR Analyst/Assistant and he is the HR Manager). They aren´t entirely happy with the work he does and the idea is to get me up and into his role before the end of August this year. I have a good reputation here locally, but I really need to make a good impression on this guy!
I am hoping that people could help me out with some possible questions that he might ask me, things that might be to my advantage to mention, etc…
Help!

I have taught Human Resource Management, helped find and interview possible employees and have done many seminars. What am I missing here? Why is it so difficult to find a job in HR? I am very passionate about HR and would be an excellent employee. I loved going to school for it. I have a very good work history. I was a computer programmer for quite a few years and have been a financial advisor for 4. I’m constantly networking, am always sending resumes out and I can’t find a job in it. I know I can’t be a HR Director off the bat but I don’t want an entry level position either. With my work experience and education, I can help a company so much and make a difference. If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it. I even have my own hour long, call in radio show that I love. I’m very personable and easy going and make everyone comfortable.

After writing a letter to the corporate office of my company relaying some hiring discrimination I experienced with the region I was trying to transfer to, I was told an investigaton was going to be made. The result of this investigation was an angry letter written by the HR VP for the subject region (real presonal and really unprofessionally written). The letter pretty much called me a liar, everything the HR VP said there was no evidence of I had actual proof of, phone records, emails and computer documentation among other things. This letter was “cc’d” to multiple executives in the company, smearing the credibility and reputation I had built up in the 3 decades I have worked with the company.
The hiring issue is being dealt with, but can I go after the indviduals who put false information out there?

I’ve been fired from quite a few jobs lately. Every time I’m given the news of my dismissal, I am seated in the Human Resource Director’s office with managers and supervisors. I make a plea to salvage my situation, but inevitably I am told I am terminated. At that point, what is the proper etiquette?
I have always “thanked” each seated person in the room, shake their hands, and turned in my badge as I’m escorted off the premises. I’m always the one to initiate shaking hands, and I’ve noticed they are always very hesitant to extend their hand in return.
What’s the correct way to exit gracefully?

I was called to the company office to take part in a HR investigation involving a co worker. I sat at a table next to a HR assistant and the HR director sat next to me. As she started sitting, she rubbed her leg vigorously against my leg and continued rubbing for several minutes. At the end of the interview, she handed me her business card and made sure to touch my hand. Was my married and respected HR director bold enough to hit on me with her assistant in the room with her? Or was she trying to get me to drop my guard during the interview? Someone please explain!!!!!!!!

I dropped off an application at a local correctional facility for students after hearing from my friend (who is part of the staff I seek to join) told me that they are short handed. This was on Friday, and I haven’t heard anything from them. I also called their Human Resource Director to make a clarification on my job application, leaving my phone numbers. Then, last night, my friend put in a good word with the main director of the team that I’ll be working for.
My question is, should I make a follow-up call today?
