There are no guarantees with a temp job.  Lots of companies dangle the carrot of permanent employment to keep their temps in line.  They may or may not hire you permanently.\n\nFrom being a recruiter, I can tell you this.  If you work hard, don't miss work, get good reports from your supervisor, the temp service will find you another job when this one ends.  Just be careful of becoming a permanent temp, that does happen.\n\nWork for a few months, increase your skills, then, while still working, look for a permanent job if it is obvious that your temp assignment is not going to go permanent.\n\nGood luck & congrats on the raise!

Don't quote me on this but this may be a case where you can quit a job and still receive unemployment benefits.  There are a few circumstances where you can quit a job and still get benefits.  From what you've described it doesn't sound like your employer wants to fire you since they will have little grounds to fight paying you unemployment.  If you apply, whether you quit or are fired, be ready because your employer may fight it.  You'll be extensively interviewed over the phone by the unemployment people.  Then, if your employer decides to fight it, you'll have a three-way over the phone with you, your employer and someone from unemployment.  Be ready because your employer will probably lie to avoid paying.  One time I was fired from a job for one no call/no show.  I got another job for several months but got layed off.  My former employer tried to fight my unemployment claim.  During the phone three-way the b*tch told several lies.  I defeated this b*tch and received unemployment benefits so I wish you luck.

Since you went from part time to full time, you may have a little difficulty asking for an increase, but you can still do it.\n\nRemind your boss that you have been working there for a full year and you would like to request a cost of living increase. Do not recommend a percentage. I have always found when asking for an increase that if you leave it open you get more than you expected. If you provide an amount, you either get that amount or a reason for being given less.\n\nTake care and Good Luck,\nTroy

I'm a temp right now... and I can vouch for ya. It sucks. Take the crap job now while you wait for the good job. Quit the second they hire you for the good one. And steal some pens.

In your situation, my best advice is to start contacting employment (temp) services like Adecco and Express Personnel.  They may start you off with doing simple assignments, but if your resume is that impressive and you do those 1-2 day assignments well, they'll start giving you bigger stuff.  It's also possible they will match you with a temp-to-hire position where you'd work temp for 90 days and then the company has an option to hire you direct.\n\nGood luck, I know it's tough.

That isn't fair.  I would write everything down and take the issue to upper management or HR.  No matter what your job title, it is no reason to be treated that way. The quick vengeful solution would be to quit during a very busy time of day, but you have to make sure you will  be able to make do until you find another job.  Doing that won't look good for you when you apply for the next job though.  Just try to be patient for meanwhile.  I actually think this is the easiest time to look for a new job, especially in retail or any place that gets busy during the holidays.  Good Luck!!

Usually when you file for unemployment, the unemployment agency's concern is whether you had your hours reduced or eliminated, rather than whether the employee promised something they later didn't deliver. If you were working 20 hours a week and then were cut back to 10, you might have a claim. If you were working 20 hours a week and quit because the employer had promised you more hours and didn't give them to you, you may be out of luck because you quit. Sometimes if you have a case where you can establish that the employer created an intolerable working condition that forced you to quit, that might be convincing to unemployment, but this doesn't really sound like that. If your friend were suing the employer for breach of contract, your support might be more appropriate. If you are no longer working for this employer yourself and you want to write a plain facts letter stating what you know to be true, in other words, you can attest that you heard the employer offer something that was later not delivered, go ahead and do it. Do not write a letter if all you know is what your co-worker said she was promised. If you are still employed at this place and you get involved in this situation, the employer may not be happy with you, so tread carefully.

Sounds like a retail or restaurant job. Used to happen to me. The best thing to do is be honest with them. "I'm greatful for all of the hours you've given me, but Unfortunately I don't feel it's what's best for me at the moment." Elaborate if you need to, but tell them how you feel. You're a person, not a robot. And if it's the kind of company that will fire you for being open and honest with them, then perphaps it would be best to seperate from them in any case. There'll always be another job, but i don't believe it will get to that. I'm positive they'll understand. Good luck.

Only you have enough information to tell you what option will serve you best. \n\nIn many situations contract job and temp job are used interchangeably. \n\nYou need to ask yourself a couple of questions:\nHow long is your current job likely to last?\nHow long is the new job likely to last?\nDo you like working where you are?\nDo you know enough about the new company to know if you will be happy there?\nWhich job will help you further your overall career goals?

Keep the same job u have while looking for another one on your spare time.\n\nThen slowly transition into the new job. You probably won't even miss a pay cheque.\n\nGood Luck.

You have to apply at the unemployment office in your city/state.  It's easy, but you should probably try to go at least a half-hour before they open to avoid possible lines and a long wait.  The critera mainly involves having worked for the past 6 months steadily, whether it's one job or a combination of jobs.  If you quit your last job, you might not be able to collect, but if you were laid off, or fired unjustly, you'll be fine.

I believe that it depends on the company's benefit policy. It can also change at any time.  For instance, part-time at my job used to be 28 hours and less.  It is now 32 hours or less.

I think it depends on if you enjoy your job or not, I mean, if you dont like it than quit! that is if you have another job. If the time schedule is inconvienient, talk to your boss.

find the other job first, leave on good terms, and don't do it if you can't live without your income now. if you have to, save up so ya'll can live for at least 6 months without your income.

Why do you have to take leave when your husband comes into town?  Don't you have the right to have a job as well?  Why can't you just see your husband in the evenings when he is on leave?  If you really want to spend more time with him, take a part time job maybe 2 or 3 days a week so that when he is on leave, you only have to work these days and the rest of the time you can spend with him.\n\nOtherwise, probably the best option for you is to do "temporary work".  I'm not sure what country you're in, but most countries have employment agencies that you can work for on a casual basis.  They will send you to company to work for a day, or month, or a year depending on what the company's employee needs are.  I've done heaps of this type of work.  It's fun because you get to work for different companies so your job doesn't get boring.  You can tell the agency when you are available for work, so if you want 3 months off, you just let them know and then come back at the end of the time off and go straight back to work.  The pay is usually pretty good, you get paid by the hour but you don't get sick pay or holiday pay because it's on a casual basis.  The only downside is that sometimes there can be no work at particular times of the year (eg. summer if you're working in an office because most businesses take holidays then)\n\nLook in your local telephone book under "employment agencies" and phone them and ask them if they do "temp work".  This type of work is available in most industries (ie. office, hospitality, tourism, retail, cleaning, etc.), so you can pick what you want to do.  Good luck.
