Do you know anyone over 50 years old who have never been unemployed?
Q. I was looking at the personnel files of the people at my company and noticed that most people have been unemployed at various times of their adult life. It may be a result of a layoff, a corporate reorganization, a relocation, a termination or a variety of other reasons. Do you know anyone over 40 or 50 years old who have been working non stop without a break and never been involuntarily unemployed during periods of their life.

A. Yes I do know some people over 50 who've been fortunate enough to have been employed all their lives. I'm just curious - do you work in HR? Because if you don't. what are you doing looking through personnel files? Not that I have anything to hide, but I wouldn't want someone I work with randomly looking through my file.

I received an offer of employment from Western Geco Ltd. How can I know if this is a scam or not?

A. The general rule of thumb with things like this, is that if you even need to ask if it could be a hoax - Its a Hoax! :-) Follow that rule and you won't get caught out!

Do you ever feel like you have to lie in a job interview?
Q. My fiance is a med student. He will be leaving this state in 1 1/2 years to do his residency. He wants me to go with him wherever he goes and I certainly want to go with him as well. I have gone through two job interviews this week w/ flying colors. They asked me if in 2 years I might relocate for them. I said yes--knowing full well that I might not even be here in 2 years. They LOVE me. My last interview with corporate is tomorrow and I'm sure they will love me as well. I'm positive that they will ask me about relocation too. I truly want this job but feel guilty for telling them I will relocate in two years when I have every intention of moving away with my b/f when he goes away. Can I get some advice? Should I feel badly about this?

A. You don't know what the future holds. You may competely fall in love with this job and want to relocate with them. I think that before you agree to give up and career path you may wish to pursue, that you know that your fiance would be willing to alter his plans for you as well. What if they relocate you to a place where you can finish his residency? This is something you definitely need to discuss with him as I think an ideal marriage would consist of two people that would be willing to put the other one first. Is he willing to make changes for you as well? Since you have no idea where they might relocate you or where his residency might be, you could say you are open to the idea of relocation but it would depend on the time, location and… [cont.]
