I was to start a new position as a Facilities Assistant. The Facilities Manager makes sure the facility is running correctly and efficiently and does purchases for construction/upgrades to and around the building. I know nothing of construction and now my boss is taking a new job and I am to fill his duties. I am scared since I am being thrown into this position with no construction/facility experience and I have no choice. What do I need to learn? Construction classes? Books? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

My friend had worked for a company as Facility Manager for a long 5 years. The company didn't provide him any joining letter or appointment letter where notice period is mentioned. However they provide salary slips. They used to change their rules & regulations every now and then. Now, my friend wants to leave the job and join a new company within 3 days. He has worked already for 20 days this month for the existing employer but he doesn't seem to pay for these days. What should he do to get this 20 days salary? Please suggest ASAP.

I have heard how they are not well trained and will hire almost anyone. Schedulers rarely have jobs (stable posts) for Officers and do LESS work than Human Resources Personnel meaning they pretend to work but are lazy. Sergeants do the work of Lieutenants and Captains without the pay just the responsibilities. That Human Resources Managers and Low-Level Security Officers are under-trained, Under-Employed, Under-Paid with almost no opportunity fro promotion and rarely get a pay-raise even after passing the probationary period. Also get no over-time pay; they begin early and go home late. They equipment is not in the best conditions. People who make money are from Contract/Facility Managers and up the ladder of management. Is the Service Employment International Union, http://www.seiu.org/ , a group of liars.- http://www.unionfacts.com/ What happens to Security Officers that tell the truth about real working conditions and become Whistle Blowers? National Whistleblower Center P.O. Box 3768 Washington, DC 20027 202-342-1903; Fax 202-342-1904 Email us at contact@whistleblowers.org Website http://www.whistleblowers.org/ All companies offer retirement packages for management only and not all managers get a bonus. Pay raises are almost non-existent.

In many cases, workers take on starter jobs as they prepare for their targeted career. For example, one might work as a chef at a restaurant while saving up to take advanced culinary classes, while a business person might start as an intern at a corporate business as he or she saves up for grad school in business. What is the equivalent for someone going into Clinical Psychology? Because volunteering does not generate money, I'm wondering what type of paid experience is relevant to the job.

I am thinking of going to either UMICH, Georgia Tech, or University of Illionis at Urbana Champaign as a Industrial Engineering major and an economics minor. I am wondering what types of companies and jobs most people get right out of undergrad with this degree. For instance, I know that from Georgia Tech, most people work in consulting companies like Deloitte and Accenture. I am wondering what the other schools' job opportunities are. Thank you for your help in advance

There is so many opinions out there about what the difference is between these two and which one has more oppurtunities and so on. I would love to know what the most direct difference is between these two fields, they seem so similar. Obviously the name Operations Manager hints at managing, but to me it seems like it is a more business-like approach to industrial engineering.

I am applying for a night shift job at a local PetSmart. They are asking me what I think the minimum I should be payed is. I am only 18 and have not had experience at a night job so I don't know how much I should suggest. The work is stocking supplies and all that jazz. I need money to pay my college tuition and I am a night owl so I figured since 3rd shift makes more then normal shifts I'd go for it. Your help is greatly appriciated.
