I am the office manager and my job is suppose to be, take customer orders, invoices, shipping, receiving, payroll answer phones accounts payable and receivable, create, design and manage website and other misc things. I have worked here for 8 years. Now within the last 2 years, My boss started a dance studio, that I create marketing material for, run the website answer the phones it has now expanded into Zumba lessons and tumbling which I manage also. In the last 4 months he started renting out space in the warehouse to solar companies and Satellite tv companies. That's fine, but now I load and unload their trucks, move things around in the warehouse on top of all my other work. Newest job I have now is washing dishes for the catering company he is doing. I am washing plates, cups glasses to get these price tags off. Now he wants me to decorate the room and sew curtains. I have told him I have too much too do, and I can't do this anymore.

When searching for a new job, how do you accurately list your position when your employer has given you the wrong title? For example: If your employer has given you the title of Accounts Payable Clerk, and you do the job of a CFO. What do you put on your resume? Recruiters and hiring managers look directly at your past position titles to determine if you are qualified for a job, without regard to seeing your description. For resume sake (not interviewing, because I know you can explain that situation in the interview) whats the best way to handle it?

I graduated 2006 with a Bachelor in Economics. I had two jobs; the first one is Accounts Payable and the current one is Accounts Receivable. I was wondering what other occupation(s) I can obtain besides these two (the pay is rather low). Or should I try to obtain a Master's Degree? Thanks in advance and much appreciation.

I just started my own electrical contractor business (no employees, only myself) and I did a couple of service calls for a company, and afterwards sent them an invoice for $640.00 It's been almost three months, and I still have not been paid. I have contacted their maintenance manager ( the one who called me asking for assistance) and their accounts payable. They don't even return my calls, and I am tired of calling. What's the best way of sending this unpaid debt to collection? Who has to pay for the collection expenses? Please advice. Thanks

I work at a small, family-owned retail store. We don't have sick or personal days and only get one week of vacation per year (after 5 years, you get two weeks). I have been here almost 5 years full-time and 7 years in total. I work 5 days per week, 8-6 (8-8 on Friday) and pretty much help run the business in my position as office manager. I do payroll, accounts payable, financing, benefits, and a billion other things. I would like to be on salary. I just don't know how to approach it or what good reasons I could give for him to put me on salary. I would probably ask for an even number somewhere about $1000 more than I'm currently averaging. Any ideas??

I am an 18 year old psychology student. However, I am not sure if I want to have a career in psychology anymore. However, I am quite interested in accountancy and was wondering when I graduate if it would be possible to apply for an office junior job and work my way up from there. I will be 21 going on 22 when I graduate. I don't want to drop out of uni right now as I am enjoying the interesting topic, and thought maybe going in to an office job after would be good. and hopefully the number of jobs will have increased by then.
