Latrade, thanks for the post. I tried your suggestion but no joy unfortunately. I even deleted about 250 songs from my itunes library to see if it would sync with less songs but it would get right to the end and then crash. Am not sure at this stage if it is my laptop that is the problem...

Would really appreciate if any experts can help. I have around 1400 songs on my itunes of selected tracks from CD's. Last week my niece wanted songs on hers so I unchecked my whole selection and just checked what songs she would like and synced them to her ipod. About 376 tracks. Afterwards...

Just trying to put myself in your shoes. Your employer is not causing you any concerns and have reassured you not to worry. Some employers will put the accused on suspension pending investigation. your employer has not even gone down that road with you so even though you're upset and...

I was bullied myself, if I knew then what I know now about it I would have totally insisted on an investigation. And if I was the accused in a case like the OP's I would totally insist on an investigation also, just to have my name cleared. It should not be about money, dignity and reputation...

Thats if the accuser is willing to accept the settlement. If they feel they have a true case of bullying they may not accept and take a different route. In these times it may be that the employer does not want any negative attention or hassle and can afford to pay the person off in order for...

What a horrible accusation to have made against you. Having done a lot of work in the area of Bullying or Harassment in the Workplace I know that it is just not tolerated in todays times. They have to listen to this person in order for he/she not to take them to a tribunal. So, even though you...

Hi, there is a brilliant website that I have been using for years that offers advice on anything work related. Its www.businessballs.com if you put in CV writing into the search option it will bring you to that section. No matter what you're looking for that is work related, interviews...

The OP has stated in the orginal post that he/she has given it 4 weeks and is struggling and is as busy as ever! I think the OP has already established that the extra workload is unmanageable...

For sure take the others advice and go to your manager. Write down what your're issues are and what you're struggling with so that you can be focused when discussing the problems with your manager, maybe give suggestions about what duties you could do without, and suggest they be delegated to...

No worries, just on the point another poster made. My brother is out there and has years and years of experience as a plasterer. He got let go from his job 3 months ago and only just got a new job in the past few weeks for half the money he was on (still better than what he would get here...

I have no idea but they should have given you an idea of a timescale when they will get back to you. Depends how many candidates they have to choose from. If it goes over a week you could put in a polite call to ask where they are on the process of hiring for the position as you had attended a...

It helps, I spent 6 weeks in dubai and any agency I registered with or job interview I had they asked about qualifications and were looking for them to a degree/BA/Masters level. I have a diploma in HR but it did not seem to be good enough. I had to come home in the end as any other jobs that...

Hi, no they never gave me any options, they just withdrew the offer. and yes Chrisboy I agree, I didn't get a good feeling, the interview process was weird, they asked odd questions, dropped the salary by €7k, made an offer then withdrew it, those points along with some other minor things make...

Thanks for the replies. I decided to accept the job, the company did not go to second round interview stage and make me an offer based on my first interview. They did not ask me about holidays on the first interview and I did not tell them I had some booked becasue I think thats second...

I am in a dilemma which I need some opinions on. I had 2 interviews last week. One job I really would like, the other not so much but I would take it becasue I'm out of work because of redundancy 4 months and finding things tough. The one I wasn't to keen on have offered me the job at 7k less...

Many Thanks!

I would be grateful if anyone could define the above and give clear definitions of The Literal Rule, The Golden Rule, and The Mischief Rule. I have to do an essay and include the above, I have looked up some web meanings and the wording is not very clear, I have an idea but am finding it hard...

sorry....the point I was trying to make about the agencies that once I visited and registered I heard nothing back!!

Totally agree FredBloggs!! I was made redundant at the end of July, I have registered with 16 agencies, 3 of them put me forward for positions that had already been filled, and one called me to see if I was still not working as they were updating records. I have also applied for upwards of...

Hi, Yeap, I called her last Friday afternoon and left a message as her phone went to voice mail. She actually texted me back and said that they got an application from a candidate with a bit more experience but that it was very close. So glad I rang and got it over with, not sure if she...
