Can A Job Be Reserved For Someone?

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?

I Have Been Offered A Second Interview On The Day After My First Interview For A City Job….?

I know that the second interview is with the Director of HR. Does anyone have an idea from experience what the second interview will be like? What type of questions? Is it get to know me time, or more hypothetical and technical questions? Does it seem like I’m “in” because of who I am interviewing with and how soon they called?

Im basically an engineering graduate & then i did a 6 month diploma in a small time institute in HR .Do i need an MBA ? How do i shift into another area in HR ? Which ones are the most rewarding areas ? I abhor the general admin jobs because i feel its not rewarding & thankless by the eod… Training seems interesting & so does HR analytics… Kindly advise ………Im so desperate !!!

Help! My Coworker Is Trying To Make Me His Personal Assistant And The Boss Won’t Do Anything About It!?

I was hired to be the salaried office manager of a small, busy construction office in Chicago, IL. I have also become the HR director, the receptionist and at the moment, the accountant. One of the guys in the office is dumping a lot of work on me which severely limits my capacity to tend to my original and additional duties. I don’t have time for breaks and barely have time for lunch. The boss said I have to help him. This guy yells at me, swears at me and constantly belittles me. He also yells at everyone else in the office, telling them what their job is and how to do it. I complained to the boss and the guy stopped swearing at me, but that’s all that’s stopped. I have been bringing work home nights and weekends, yet I get yelled at for not getting all the work done and have to deal with upset customers and coworkers because I don’t have time to do anything for them. I have 3 kids at home and I’m having a hard time finding another job that pays decent. What can I do?

Should I Email An Employer I Contacted About A Job In The Engineering Field?

Here is what happened. I wanted to send my resume to a company I looked up. They didn’t have their HR email on their website so I called them to get an email to forward my resume. Fortunately at that time the HR lady went to lunch and the director or “co-founder” picked up the phone and I told him that I didn’t find the email etc, online and need an email I can forward my resume to. He decided to ask me what I do and my experience and courses so I told him everything and he told me that the spot that was open has been filled but he is looking to hire someone to assist his engineering department. He said I fit the description of what he is looking for. Then he asked me to forward my resume directly to him and said he will see. He seemed very impressed and interested. That was 1 week ago. Would it be okay to inquire about it? Should I email and ask him what he thinks? If not, when should I email him since its been a week? What should I write in the email? Its an engineering company

How Do I File A Grievance Against My Boss?

Hi everyone, I’m not sure a “grievance” is exactly what I’m looking for.
Here’s the story. I’m the Communications director and answer only to CEO of the company and there is no in-house HR department. I often have meetings and conversations with my boss and he consistently forgets the details of our meetings/discussions. For instance I had a conversation with him over the phone yesterday and today he calls me into his office and misconstrues the details of our previous conversation, basically calling me a liar. I clearly remember every detail of the call and once again he refuses to believe what I’m saying. He is ALWAYS doing this and I’ve had enough! Should I write some kind of letter to him as an official “statement” or “complaint” stating the facts of our conversation and what had occurred?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
