Look bad if I don't informally inquire? And do I use Sir/Madam?
I'm applying for a few roles at the moment and a couple of job adverts give a number to call for informal inquiries. One even states that they will meet off site for an informal chat. However, these particular roles I have thoroughly researched so I really can't think of any questions to ask. I don't want to ask silly…

Abusive spineless boss - what to do
Hi all, I'm hoping to just get a few opinions if that is ok. Sorry this is a little long. I had a 'disagreement' with my manager today, which resulted in me handing my notice in. A year ago today I started my first day at this company. The company is quite small, with floor staff and just 5 office staff. I was offered a…

Going full time after 11 years of being part time
Hi, I am returning back to my old job later on this month but full time. I haven't worked there for 5 years but I absolutely HATE where I am now (I was also moved, so had a longer commute).

Getting a new senior level part time jobs? Do they exist
I would like to start a family, but would still like to work part time. However I know my current employer doesn't believe in part time or reduced hours. Think Scrooge. We work a very long office day which is very draining. I do think it's too much already for all the staff, but it would be impossible to do it and commute…

Which employers do offer non-probationary contracts in UK?
Hi I would like to know which employers do offer non-probationary permanent contracts in UK? I know its a common practice to have 3/6 months probation in standard contract. But, nowadays there're few employers who have started giving non-probationary permanent contracts. (A rather good change!) It can helpful for mid-level…

employer over paid hugely
Afternoon all! Hope you can all give us some advice. DH had a promotion and pay rise of £10,000 a year from 7th March 2016. March pay was messed up and this wasn't included. We are in the process of applying for a mortgage so I asked him to really chase it up and sort etc etc. So they said they would pay the underpayment…

Taking a reference to an interview
Hi, I've just been invited to an interview for a job a really want. I get along really well with my boss and I think if I ask her to write me a reference in advance to take with me it would support my application. Is this something people still do? or would it seem a bit desperate or cocky like- 'look at me, I know people…

Driving license desirable?
I've applied for a new job, it's band 4 in the NHS. I'm currently working in the same department on a different site at band 3. The job mentions working between sites and states that a driving license is desirable, it's not listed as essential on the requirements grid. I've now visited the other site and had an informal…
