I work for a medical group as a Medical Office Clerk in white plains ny. but i'm planning to move to Georgia this summer perminately and i'm looking for employment in the medial field down there. I would like to know what are the best positive things i can say about describing my time at my old job to boost my paper.
thanks for helping : )
What should i write for a job interview when ask "How would you describe your time at your last employment?"
True, be honest and sincere because they can always call, but they can legally only ask certain questions.
You enjoyed the position you held and learned a lot from the experience and were a team player and always tried to help others.
I was always on time and put in the extra effort to get the job done correctly, but in a timely fashion.
The experience and knowledge that I have obtained from my present position and my hard work and dedication, I believe that I will be an asset to your company.
Things along that line....
Good luck with your job search...
Reply:You can tell them that it was a very learning experience while working there. You have got a good insight into whetever you worked on. It was a very interesting job and you always liked working for the employer. You always interacted with the Medical officers and have got very good contacts in the medical field. Overall a great experience..
Reply:Adequate, but not career defining.

Is there any way to find the dates of your past employment even when the place may be out of business?
When applying for jobs with the state or some banks, they want to know the exact dates (no estimating) of employment, your exact title, and your starting %26amp; ending salary of every job you've ever held even if it was over 30 years ago and you only worked 1 day there. How in the world do they think you can possibly find this? Does anyone know if there are resources available? Don't know where to start!!! HELPPPPPPPPPP!
Is there any way to find the dates of your past employment even when the place may be out of business?
You can get a print out of your employment history from the Social Security Administration.
Reply:I had a similar issue when I was applying for a security clearance. I had to account for all jobs, and residences for the last 15 years and people that knew me at those locations. What they really want is accountability. It you worked at the Shoparama in June of 1997 for 3 days but you don't remeber which 3 days then estimate. Think about what you were doing before that, why you left and wher you went. If you got anothe job immediately after then the make the start date of that job the stop date of the last. If you were unemployed for a period of time then put those days down.
your credit report can show previous employers and past residences that may jog your memory. Also tax returns will have some of that information. It takes a few weeks to get past tax returns sent, but they'll do it.
The most important thing is to be as accurate as possible and account for each day. When in doubt start on the first of the month and go to the 15th or 30/31st of the month to help fill gaps.
They're not going to throw you in jail because you were a week off some random job you had 8 years ago. Like I said it's just an accountabilty things. Kind of big brother's way of asking where were you and who were you with. As far as titles and salaries only you really know what your title was and how much you made.
Reply:They don't care who you worked for!
They want to see if your work history is consistent, and if you improved your position or made lateral (side-way)moves. They also want to see how much experience you have. They especially want to know why you changed jobs. Were you fired?
Here is your history (as far as I am concerned)
7up bottling Company Saint Louis, Mo. Hired in while attending the Junior year of high school. Duties included unloading and loading the route trucks for following day deliveries. Held job until one year after graduating High school (August 1, 1970 - Oct 29, 1973) Line worker for B.F.Goodrich Co. (Nov. 1, 1973 - Mar. 8, 1980) Even if you had 5 jobs in that period. (don't report short term). Loan officer at B. and B. Motors (Mar. 12,1980 - Aug. 16, 1994). Get the picture? They are only going to check out the last couple jobs (if any)
Reply:You could try to pull your credit report. A lot of times the places and dates are listed.
Reply:If the place is no longer in business, then just pick an approximate date and use it as "exact". If they're not in business - it's not like any one is there to say differently.
And I can't imagine that knowing you started working someplace on April 12th, 1985 to June 25th, 1987 is more significant than knowing that you worked from April 1985 to June 1987. But if the robots need exact dates, and you don't know them - and NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER...by all means - give them an "exact" date...

What is in a Tesco Employment Reference?
I know Tesco have a department that deal with there employment references for them and they give staff a generic reference - anyone got any idea what is put in this? how generic is it and what personal information can they give?
What is in a Tesco Employment Reference?
If you shop with them and have a clubcard loads, they will know everything about you including your inside leg measurement.
Reply:From my experience in HR, most employers will only give the dates of employment and position held. Occasionally, one might give salary rate, but this is less likely. They do this to limit their legal liability. If they were to give a poor reference, they might get sued for slander. On the other hand, if they give a positive reference for some and generic reference for others, it could be assumed that any reference that is not positive is, by default, a negative. Therefore, most HR departments (internal and outsourced) give only generic references as a standard practice.

Is non-employment compensation really taxed that high? How can I calculate how much tax I'll pay?
I'm an independent contractor who receives a 1099-MISC for non-employment compensation. I know that my total income for the year will be $24,000 because I get paid the same thing every month regardless of how much or little work I do. I am married, but separated and have lived in our apartment with our son since April and will continue to do so all year, so I can file Head of Household. My son is under 18 and I pay for the majority of his care. I tried to plug my numbers into an online tax site, deductions (standard), credits (I should qualify for EIC and Child Tax) - and it tells me that I hypothetically owe something in the ballpark of $8,000. My expenses are only in the ballpark of about $1500 a year. That can't be right. I can't owe $8000 to the federal and state government on only $24,000 worth of income. I know it's non-employment compensation, but come on - I have no other income. Is this right? Is there another way to figure this stuff up?
Is non-employment compensation really taxed that high? How can I calculate how much tax I'll pay?
If you are an independent contractor, the compensation IS NOT non-employment compensation. The tax rate is actually EXACTLY the same as that of an employee. You just NOTICE it more because you actually have to write the check.
First you deduct actual BUSINESS expenses from gross income to find your tax base. In your case, that appears to be $9,000 ($24K - $15K). Next you pay BOTH halves of FICA (15.3%). That comes to $1,337. Than you figure regular income tax on the remainder. The $8000 is high even if $24,000 is your taxable income. It would have to include penalties for failure to make required quarterly tax payments. You need a professional tax preparer ASAP.
Reply:The income tax "rate" is the same whether its earned and reported via 1099 or w-2. Only dividend and long term capital gains is taxed at a flat 15%.
Call the IRS and let them calc for you....

How do employment agencies work?
If I get a job through an employment agency, where do they get their commission from?
Does the company providing me with employment pay?
Does it come out fo my salary? If so, how does that work? A lump sum or a percentage over a period of time?
How do employment agencies work?
There are two types of employment agencies.
The first, employs you, and pays you an hourly rate, but charges the employing company a higher rate for your
services. That is how they make money. Usually after a three month period the employer can take you on as a permanent employee, but must pay out the agency.
The second is a 'head hunter' type agency. They recruit workers that will be employed directly by the employer.
The head hunter screens resumes, sets up interviews with
the prospective employer, and gets paid a one time flat
fee by the employer for having found a suitable worker.
In this case you are directly employed by the company. Many
companies use head hunters as they do not have to screen resumes. By the time a prospective employee arrives for their interview, the employer knows they have the qualifications necessary for the job and might be a good match.
Reply:There is specific legislation related to Employment Agencies and Businesses (the Recruitment Agencies Act). They are not allowed to charge the ‘candidate’ as their client is the business seeking a worker and not the person seeking work. In this context, if you are recruited into a permanent role by the agency the agency will usually charge a fee to the employer, if you are employed on a temporary basis through the agency the agency is responsible for paying you (including entitlements to statutory holiday pay and maternity etc) and they charge their client business for the service of providing a temporary worker. This charge is usually based upon a margin or percentage of the workers hourly rate. What you need to remember is that the agency is also responsible for paying NI and other costs that an employer would normally pay so the margin they charge is not by any means clear profit. Most recruitment consultants are paid commission based upon the amount of money/business they bring in. It is also worth remembering that to the agency you are not a customer, you are their product and in this context they are not supplying you with a service but rather supplying temp or perm workers to businesses. Sounds a bit cold hearted I know, but if it help to understand this when dealing with the money crazed, sales orientated individuals that tend to work as ‘Rec Cons’. Remember, Recruitment Consultants are sales people!
Reply:the employment agency charge the employer a fee per hour and then pay you direct a lesser amount per hour and they make their profit that way.
the advantage from the employers point of view is that they don't have to retain staff when its quiet and can literally just pick up the phone and say i want a secretary, driver or whatever next week for one week only.
also the employer doesn't have to pay you redundancy and the employment law is much more lenient from the employers point of view although it has changed a lot in recent years.
there was a case a few years ago when a centre was closed down in our city and even though the staff had been employed in the same job and the same place for 12 years they were entitled to no redundancy as they were all agency staff.
Reply:An employment agency takes a percentage of the margin, e.g. if the agency is paid £10 per hour by their client, who you are working for, they will keep a percentage of this, say £2. So you get £8 p/h and they get £2 p/h.
The agency employs you and pays you, you have nothing to do with the client, except you a governed by the r%26amp;r and they are responsible for you while on their property.
Reply:Any company which asks for money from you as an employee for finding them work is breaking the law. As an agency we get our fee from the company, not you. For permanent we will ask for a fee of % of annual salary. For temp/contract we ask the company the wage they want to pay and then put a percentage on top to cover NI contribution, holiday pay and our margin.

What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Can anyone explain the distinctions from employment agency, staffing agency, and headhunters? Do they offer the same services? If I go for the services, will they charge me? How to look for the agencies? (From yellow pages or ...?) Please recommend some good agencies especially in San Francisco Bay Area. Thank you.
What are the distinctions from Employment Agency, Staffing Agency, Headhunters? And how to find them?
Head hunters is a disrespectful name given to the industry by people outside of the industry. You will never find them by searching under that name.
There are many that use similar naming, but are very different. There are also some that do more than one kind of service.
The key is in the contract you sign with them.
* When they land you a job, does the employer pay their fees, or will you be paying a percentage of your salary for how many months, to the agency?
* When they land you a job, will it be a permanent position, or will it be temporary that could end at any time, with no notice?
If you recently had a job %26amp; am now unemployed, be sure to visit the Unemployment Compensation office PDQ because if you wait until you need the money, you could be at a serious disadvantage.
If you have no experience (you just graduated), there are a lot of jobs you cannot get into. However, your combination of experience and education can open doors for you not open to other people. I suggest you visit some book store %26amp; pick up books that give examples of writing resumes, methods of delivery ... for example, you could have a very nice resume, but if it goes as an e-mail attachment, you could lose a lot of the formating bang impact, unless you put it in a PDF, so you have to know how to do that. You can get software to help package a nice resume, but you need to review how to make a nice resume in the first place. In addition to resume, there is also thw whole package of interviewing and writing thankyou notes after you get interviews.
In the Yellow Pages, on-line or off-line, you can search for
* Employment Agency
* Jobs
* Help Wanted
etc.
You can also locate %26amp; visit stores that sell newspapers from around the world %26amp; the USA ... at such stores there will be special publications that the only thing in there are job openings, reprinted from the classified of newspapers around the USA, and sorted to show job openings by category (e.g. Accounting) and region (e.g. California Bay area) ... after buying several of these, that are in competition with each other, you can subscribe for a few weeks, but warning, these publications usually repeat the ads a week or so after they showed up in the original publications.
By studying the ads, you ought to be able to figure out which are with the actual companies looking for workers, and which are from some kind of agency.

I was fired on my last job, the supervisor %26amp; I are not in good terms, definitely he will not give me a good feedback.If I did not mention my last employment (work there for a month only) upon background check/ SS# will it appear on my record? Will the new prospective employer find it?
Applying for new job,if I did not mention my last employment will it appear on my personal record?
They only thing employers look for in a background check is your criminal record (if u have one). The only way they would know about your dispute with your last employer is if you put it on your application and they call them, otherwise, no worries your fine. good luck on the job hunt! :D
Reply:If the employer's background check includes a credit check, it can show up. It is better to be honest up front. If the prospective employer finds that you withheld information, it is not something that makes you look very good.
Reply:no..thats not what they look for on a background check. you can leave off any employment you want. its your right and choice.
Reply:well it most likely will but i think you should be honest and upfront about it and tell them what happened you might just get the job anyway .
