I received my notice from unemployment for my hearing
my last employer is going to be via conference call
while my representation and I will be in the room with the judge.
they are fighting for “voluntary quit without good cause”
when I’m fighting that it was a discharge, as well as serious harassment by the HR Director.
on the letter it states
Note to employer- Produce: Testimoney RE: Continuing work available.
^^^anyone know what that means!?
Thank you!

…to the Muslim HR director at work?

A budget was given to me for a specific project (that will affect me). My supv. wants to use some of that budget for other projects of his choosing (which will greatly hinder my project). When I talked to him about it, his answer was that it’s his department and he can do what he wants….in so many words. When I mentioned discussing it with the VP who gave me the budget – he told me not to and that I needed to be a ‘team player’ and keep our dept’s business to ourselves. He also said that if I couldn’t be that team player then ‘choices’ would have to be made. I took that as I would be fired or at least disciplined. I believe that he’s asked for money for his other projects and was denied – so he’s taking it from me. He’s only a director. A VP from a different dept. (not his supv., but higher than him) gave me the budget. What do I do? Do I have protection if I go to the [higher] VP against my supv. wishes? Go to HR? I fear retaliation, but I need all of the budget to do it right.

Okay – I had a great second interview with the same company on Monday. For my first interview, I met with the HR Director, the Hiring Manager and the Creative Director. On Monday I met with the VP of Advertising and we seem to have ‘clicked’. I have already sent my ‘thank you’ letters to all of those mentioned. They will be making a decision on who gets the job next week or the week after. Would it be tacky to send an email to ’smooze’ the hiring manager to say ‘thank you for selecting me for a second interview and I look forward hearing from you … ‘
I an awesome job to ’sell’ myself and I want to put myself infront of the other candidate(s). What do you think?

Hi everyone..
So, tomorrow morning I have an interview at a hotel for a receptionist/desk clerk position. I have banking and customer service experience so I know I am efficient and do well with people but at my last job I was let go becuase a co-worker and I were gossiping about this women’s hygiene and word got around.. to make a long story short, I was let go becuase when I was asked about the situation I told HR and a VP that I thought that there was something wrong and the bank wanted to get rid of me since I had just come back from disability less than a month prior. (Unemployment confirmed that that statement was the death of me) Anyway… I’m sure the hotel will ask about my last job and why I’m no longer there… any suggestions? Thank you!

I was offered a job back in Dec ‘08 when I was still in school for a position that is to start in Jul ‘09. I received a welcome note from the HR director in Apr ‘09 and assumed that everything is set to go. However, I was recently contacted by the 3rd party contractor performing background check for more info/notarized statements etc. I did not lie on my resume nor inflate my qualifications and so I am wondering what could have gone wrong here.

I am going to mail my acceptance letter to HR and the person who hired me. I feel like I should accept verbally as well. However, the person who hired me is a VP and always super busy and I really don’t feel like I should call him. Can I leave a message with his secretary or email him? Or should I just suck it up and call him directly at the risk of being annoying?

After finishing an 8 month contract HR assignment with several promises of a perm position (budget was cut), I am now job hunting again. I have been working contract and temp projects since Oct 2005 and feel as if I can’t get anyone to take me seriously. I was laid off from four companies (one int’l retail, 2 dot.coms, and a small bank at the mgr/director level) since 2000, so I do have ’short term” time frames on my resume. I would much rather not been laid off, but prospective employers don’t tend to look at it that way. I have great references and experience, but still can’t seem to get anyone to even look at my resume past the short term tenures. Any suggestions? I am terrified at the thought of hitting the job market again and getting no response.
Thank you for your help.

I was recently informed that a job was reserved for someone specific – before the vacancy was posted. It affects me in that I am one of the applicants for the job. Is it possible that there is something illegal taking place right before my eyes?
Part II of my question – who do I bring this up to – and when… my HR department, the EOE, or the Director doing the hiring (mine is an internal application). Do I bring this up now or after the recipient of the job is placed?
