I have an associates degree but am unable to return to school for my BA, but I am taking classes to gain more skills. Each class comes with a certificate of completion/competency. Classes include accounting, human resources fundamentals, medical office skills, etc. I also have MS Office Specialist certification as well as several other Microsoft and Adobe certifications. Would not having a BA count against me, if I were to apply for an entry to mid-level office position? I will be relocating as well. I know in the area I live right now, you need a BA in Accounting just to be an accounting clerk. What is it like in your area?
I’m thinking of doing the HR Management course in my local area, but all 4 universities are ranked less than 70 in the Guardian uni rank list. Would my future employer sneer upon my choice of uni or be most interested in my degree?
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
Ok there are two things going on:
1) I was promised health insurance benefit. I even believe it’s on my job offer in writing. After my 90 days probation period, I tried to apply but my eployer had no information on it. So I had to wait for the HR Dept. to find out about the plans and prices of the offered plans. As soon as they came to me with the options, I signed up but they told me I missed the deadline (which even the HR director didn’t know existed until the morning she told me that). Now my employer is telling me I will have to wait until May, 2007.
2) My employer is behind 5 or six pay stubs for paychecks to all employees (8 of us, it’s a small company). We know they don’t have pay stubs for us because they are behind on their taxes so they can’t provide a pay stub. I know that if my employer is not paying taxes, they are putting in jeopardy the workman’s comp they are supposed to have. So theoretically, if I get F’d up and need disability, they won’t be able to provide.
I have been selected to attend process improvement classes with for the next year at my job. I was hand picked by the VP of HR which I am on a couple committees with. After the first night of class, there will be a dinner. At a restaurant. I am nervous about going. Beside being in these classes with managers, and directors, the CEO and corporate officials will be there. I truly feel like I am not ready for the dinner. I have enough to deal with going to class with the managers and directors, but to sit there socially with the group. A couple of people I asked that are in the classes stated that they were not going to be able to attend. I told a couople of people I have an appointment that evening but I may be able to rearrange the time. The dinner is right after a day long class. 8:a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I really feel like passing this up.
I am a permanent employee in local government. I’m not a contractor. I am interested in training that will cost $2500. My government is small and stingy. They talk about things being expensive often. I feel like I would be asking for something that may be too expensive for them, however the girl in HR says I can just talk to my director or supervisor.
Now, can asking for training assistance do any harm in my relationship with my employer in case they decline?
What if ur applying for a job and the HR director wants to speak to your previous employer but he doesnt answer the phone calls? Would that ruin your chances of getting the job? Someone help plz
