My sister-in-law did her taxes with the TurboTax software and said they kept 10% of her $3,000 refund for fees, which meant she paid $300. What was this for?
Is TurboTax really cheaper in the end than going somewhere like JacksonHewitt or HR Block? I’ve been told by someone that it cost them $233.00 to file through JH, which I understand you pay based on the complexity of the filing.
I just want to know the cheapest, most user-friendly way to file!

My husband has an interview tomorrow with a software company for an entry level programming position. He has his BS in computer science but hasn’t worked in the field for over 10 years. What should he write in a thank you card that he’ll mail after the interview?

If I get my Master’s in Human Resources, is it possible to do management soon after, or does it usually take years of experience before you can do this?
What would I do in the meantime if my goal is management? Maybe career or training development?
Thanks for any advice

I was wondering what type of jobs were available with a Human Resources Management Degree (Bachelors or M.B.A) after right after graduation? In other words what are some entry level jobs that may be available or that are most common with this degree. Also is there room for advancement in these jobs and if so, how long will it take and what must I do in oder to advance further in a career in Human Resources Management. Thank you for your answers.

There is a customer who shops where I work. On 1 occassion, he grabbed my shirt to look at the tattoo on my back, he has mimicked squeezing my breasts and grabbing my buttocks. Management “talked” to him, but didn’t ban him from shopping there. Now, he doesn’t say anything to me, just paces in front of my register, points me out to his friends, and on 2 occassions, I believe his vehicle has followed me through the parking lot. My bosses now say he isn’t doing anything wrong, but I think he’s violating KS harassment and stalking laws. After the regional HR director told me the customer would be banned, my local HR has told me they’ll get multiple statements from co-workers stating my behavior at work suggests “I asked for it.” My question…what legal recourse do I have, if any…and can I establish a hostile work environment?

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?

Do companies do background checks after the 1st interview or the 2nd interview?
I filled out all the applications and surveys and interviewed with the controller and the hr director. Then they called me back for a second interview and this time I’ll be interviewing with the controller, hr director and the president of the company.
Do you think the background check was performed after the 1st interview or are they going to wait until after the second interview with the president?
Thank you so much!!

I actually received a 5.5% pay cut. I’ve been hashing this out with HR for a year and half and all they keep telling me is that the VP would never have approved the 7% raise. Was this not an implied contract? Do I have any legal action I can take? I’m in management and a salaried employee, do the rules not apply to us?

I had a job interview in April that went quite well, and I was called back for a 2nd interview with two of the managers. That 2nd interview wasn’t perfect, but went all right. That was 2 weeks ago, and at the time they said they’d finished interviewing all candidates and they’d probably decide within a few days. I didn’t hear anything after 1 week, so I called the HR director, and she apologized that things were moving slowly, but said no decision had been made yet. She also said the position had NOT been filled and she had NOT been asked to seek out any more candidates, which I took as a good sign. I thanked her and said I’d wait to hear back. I then sent a polite letter to the 2 managers to let them know I was still very interested in the position.
That was one week ago, and I still haven’t heard anything. Should I wait, or check in again?
P.S. They told me that only a small handful of people would make it to the 2nd interview, that’s why I figured they could decide quickly.
