Question about the obligation of a company to advertise internal vacancies for a new position?

I’m a full-time employee for a regular company. I have just found out that a new position has been anounced an an existing employee has been promoted into that position. The job was not advertised (either informally or formally through the internal vacancy list). I wanted to apply for the position but couldn’t as the position wasn’t advertised. Is this legal in English law?

The Equal Opportunities act has more or less annihilated the “promote on merit” policy – it’s very unusual for a company to do that because they can be taken to an industrial tribunal. If you’re a member of a union, ask for advice

Helpful Tips in Establishing the Integrity of a California law Firm

Finding a California law firm can be easy yet tricky. It is easy in a sense that many sources provide guidelines on how to look for these companies. You may simply do an online search to have a list of law firms that you may choose from.

However, when finding a law firm in California, you need to be aware that not all of these establishments are reputable businesses. Some of these companies are bogus and are only after the money that you will pay as their client. In the end, you will end up short changed and unable to find the best law firm to handle your case.

Here are some helpful guidelines on how you can avoid becoming a victim of unscrupulous or fraudulent law firms. These tips may serve their importance in achieving a successful case result.

1. Do check if the law firm you are intending to deal with is accredited and authorized.

Practicing any legal profession without the necessary certification is illegal and punishable by law. To check if the firm is allowed by law to handle legal cases, you can check out the listing of the California State Bar Association.

2. Find out the specialization of the law firm.

Law firms may vary in their field of expertise. Thus, look for a company that would cater to your needs. For instance, if you are filing for a personal injury claim against the liable party, the best firm to look for and engage with is a company that specializes in personal injury. They can give you the best remedy to your legal concern.

3. Check out its track record and list of accomplishments

Even though you are successful in finding the law firm that is fitted to your needs, it is not an indication that they are the right company for the job. It will be to your advantage if you will conduct a research on its achievements or track record. By doing so, you will be able to determine whether they can handle the task of handling your case or not.

If you cannot find any accomplishments or winnings, then it would be better to look for another firm that is more competent and effective in handling claims.

4. Establish any connection with legal networks or associations

Determining whether they are connected with legal networks or associations is an important consideration when looking for a law firm. This will give you a better picture of their position in the legal world.

Of course, you want a company that is recognized in the industry to handle your case. By being a member of an established connection, you will have an idea that the firm handling your case passed strict standards set forth by the organization or network.

Whether it is personal injury, social security disability, business, or employment claims, working with credible law firms in California can give you peace of mind – an assurance that the company handling your case can deliver a positive result as far as your claims are concerned.

What are the prospects for Jobs in Social Care in Australia?

Have 10 years experience in Child Protection/Children in Care Work, wonder what the situation is like in Oz. I know the pay is lower than Ireland but if you have any info what so ever I would appreciate it, thanks. {I’m not a Social Worker but do have a degree in Applied Social Studies and a Diploma in Family law}

Before you can work in Australia, you must have a work visa and before you can even apply for one, you must obtain a positive skills assessment from the body responsible for assessment of your occupation, so that’s where you need to start.

The following ASRI list provides job descriptions of all occupations that are eligible for work visas and includes links to the relevant assessment body. You need to check the qualifications required for your occupation to see if you have any chance of qualifying for a visa or use the list to determine if any other occupation would give you a better chance.

http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/a-z.htm#s The complete list. Suitably qualified applicants in listed occupations that carry no points and are not on the SOL are only eligible for permanent, employer sponsored skilled migration.

Non-barred JD considering career other than law. Interested in business career. Is an MBA a good option?

Have been unable to get a legal job despite graduating from law school. Weighing my options regarding business career, possibly including an MBA. Which are the best Internet sites for job search for a non-barred JD, or am I doomed to a lifetime of low paying dead- end jobs with two worthless college degrees?

Why are you non-barred? Could you, perhaps, move to another state with a less rigorous bar exam, and take the bar there? That might improve your chances.
I’ve heard MBAs are pretty much worthless. I wouldn’t go there.

Career, Depression and Online Counseling to Provide Small Business Advice

Sometimes through Online Counseling people don’t always “like†the advice they’re given.

This was the case with M., a 31 year old professional saleswoman who had a small high end sheep leather coats import company. M. had recently lost here dream contract in early 2008 doing ‘big business’ with a nationally known prestigious clothing store. Since that time she had moved around a bit job-wise and slowly gotten herself into debt.

At the time when I starting communicating with her she had reached the point where she was willing to work part time for others, in a commission only based job. She was currently four months behind on her rent and was exhibiting the beginning stages of clinical depression.

M. lived in New York City by herself, most of her friends and family lived overseas. She did have a few friends in the area but she hadn’t seen very much of them recently because in her own words: “What friends I do have here, I rarely see anymore as I have withdrawn into my apartment. A typical weekend for me will be to stay up all night Friday night only to sleep for the next two days consecutively until I have to return to work on Monday.â€

Through our introductory Online Counseling session M. revealed that she was falling into a type of depression and having all sorts of strange dreams whilst sleeping (12-14 hours). She could not afford health care at this time and did not know what she was going to do financially. The weekend she had contacted me she had simply decided to discontinue eating and stated that she, “did not even feel that hungry anymore.†It was later revealed that she had also been engaging in other activities that pointed to sings of her Depression. She showed signs of drinking binges beyond socially acceptable standards; there were also some concerns about promiscuity (with one of her potential client).

I assessed that M.’s life was spiraling out of control and the things that provided her with a feeling of self worth i.e. her job, her apartment, her standard of living in general – were all dropping significantly. She was trying to get past these difficult times and just reached the point where she did not know what to do.

Three Online Counseling sessions were needed in order to formulate my assessment and professional advice; generally speaking, I appreciate someone who is having a true awareness about him / herself and wants to take the right steps – and she falls into this group.

I had the feeling that M. is having ‘an o.k. personality’ and therefore is capable of getting through the current situation, if major changes would occur in four domains:
A. Drinking should be a definite target for a change in her life.
B. Job and Business re-structuring: This economy has no room for many high end products; leather sheep coats are definitely within the heavily affected range. Use your sales ability, and move into another area. You are good in that line, so do high commission jobs.
C. Love / Sex / Relationships – no more and never again with clients or potential clients. Adopt therefore another mission: to look inward for your ’self assets’ and thereafter outward, to find the right one.
D. New business location – no chance in NYC. Costs are too high and market trends are alarming. You are single, I told her, with no real supportive social circle around your location. Transform this “negative asset†into a big “plus†and move int to a growing areas, economy wise. Neither you nor I are going to produce miracles that would beat the economy trend. Since I’m not a magician, only a professional, I could see no reason to support an effort to swim against the stream when she could float on it instead.

So the strategy is:
- Look for another business and or job, elsewhere in the US.
- Establish a new ‘you’ – no drinking, financial responsibility and healthy relationships.

M. questioned me on the necessity to move out of New York; she was slightly agitated by my recommendation. Our Online Counseling work has ended; the Small Business Advice I could give her was left untouched.
