Hi [Recruiter's Name], Thanks for reaching out. I am interested in learning about new opportunities. However, prior to further consideration, please: 1) provide a complete job description and company name. If this is a contract position, please also specify the primary project or organization with which this position would work. 2) specify the characteristics in my profile that make me a competitive candidate for this position. 3) provide an expected salary range for this position Without clear and complete answers to these questions I am unable to evaluate whether this opportunity is a good fit and therefore cannot move forward in this process.

After 6 years as a soulsucking banker pawn, I am quitting my job on Wednesday. Best part is I have no new job lined up. Radical idea: how about living life without a 9-5 job

And not “Why should I work for you?”

I’m a long time lurker, but I’m in need of some legal advice regarding labor laws. I work in a shop that serves beverages in Illinois as it’s “manager”. I set hours, oversee employees, and work in the store alongside them. I usually work 60+ hour weeks with no days off for multiple weeks in a row. The owners have said that I am “salaried” for a certain amount each week, but they change the amount they pay me based on hours worked (e.g. 40 hours = 600, 50 hours = 800, etc.). Under Illinois law, this qualifies me as an hourly employee. Are they allowed to change my base hourly pay each week so that the “salaried” amount is equivalent to the hourly rate with overtime included?

She was hired as a receptionist. She was there for a week. If you want a cleaner, hire a fucking cleaner, don't hire a receptionist and then get mad that they aren't cleaning to your standards.
