Hi all. I have a question. My husband has cancer. I am the sole breadwinner right now. I want to look for a new job that pays more so we won't be suffering too badly. The only stipulation is that I need to take so easy time off of work to care for my husband. It's not steady time off but intermittent when he is need of care during treatment. Do you think it's realistic that I could actually get hired in this situation? Is this something I need to bring up at an interview or wait until I get an offer? Ithe doesn't seem fair to a new employer to put them in a situation where I would not be able to perform my duties on a regular basis. So, I'm not really sure if I should bother.

Meet Nailah and Martin!

Two different people who truly love what they do, which is driving a truck.

Sometimes in life, you need to think outside of the box.

When a friend suggested that Nailah attend truck driving school she stood in front of her in high heels and a dress and thought NO way was this for her. Today she happily says, “I am in a place where I don’t have to want for anything. I am happy. I don’t have bill collectors calling me from random numbers anymore. To be in this industry was one of the greatest decisions I ever made.”

For Martin, he loves that trucking provides the ability to advance and provide a future and reveals that “The trucking industry has opened a future for me. In most corporate environments you are limited. In the trucking industry, there is no cap on how far you can go.”

Come and watch the rest of their stories in this wonderful short video proudly made by Jobcase from the voice of real truckers.

So, would you consider a career in trucking?

If you are presently a trucker, thank YOU for all that you do! : )

First of all I am looking for a new job before anyone says look for a job. My current employer just paid everyone for our regular payroll schedule. I noticed that my check was cut in half for the previous pay. I thought it was a mistake so I contacted our payroll department. When I explained what happen to my pay as I seen it. They informed me that they were notified from my Manager that I had accepted a 50% pay cut. Confused by this because why would anyone accept a 50% pay cut. I asked them to provide me a copy of the signed contract stating that I had accepted the cut. Payroll told me that they had not received anything but a verbal from my manager. They told me that I had accepted the pay cut because why would my manager lie to them. I than asked them for a copy of my employment contract and they said they did not have it. I have to contact Human Resources. I contacted Human Resources and they sent me a copy of my contract which I signed 10 years ago because that was the only thing they had. When I told them I was confused about the pay cut and was told that payroll explained that my manager verbally told them to cut my pay. HR told me to tread lightly on the accusations because if I put in a complaint I will automatically be terminated for lying. If I complain to the labor board with prove I will be terminated for something made up. The company has no actions in my HR personnel file since I requested a copy of it and HR sent me an email explaining there was nothing there. What do I do besides looking for a job and dealing with a substainal pay cut.

Hey All,

I am an artist looking for an artist job (Graphic, Museum, Character Design, etc), and I am not picky.

The problem is I been searching for five years. I have a job, (8) hours, so believe me when I say I'm grateful to support my two year old. I also understand there are those in a worst position than I am currently in.

For those in a serious position (unemployed, homeless, etc) I prey for them, because I believe in a perfect world everyone has a job, is happy, and can strive in the is world.

The boat I am in, I feel feel unwanted, unheard, and unused. I'm just not sure about my next move. I did the following:
-Redid my resume
-Uploaded my resume to Jobcase, LinkedIn, glassdoor, etc
-Expanded my job search

I am at a loss,

Dustin

A passive job seeker is someone who may or may not even be looking for a new job while currently employed. They are folks who keep resumes on job boards and business networking sites even though they are not unemployed, and may even be happy with their current job.

A lot of companies seek out passive candidates over active seekers (those who are unemployed and desperately needing work). But why?

I mention passive job seekers quite a bit in my responses. Here is an explanation as to what makes this type of candidate so appealing to potential employers.

I did not write this article. Simply sharing it.

I am a third key holder also known as manager on duty. I am typically the closing manager. Our store Manager says that we must be clocked out at 10:15 p.m. no later no exceptions, the store closes at 10:00 P.M. leaving myself and or closing manager to perform all daily reports counting and balancing each cashier, counting Petty Cash Documenting and counting deposit, all in order with all number's adding to daily reports. If you are not finished within 15 minutes of closing you are to clock out anyways. It sometimes takes 45 minutes or more to perform all these task correctly. What should I do?
