  1. If I get this new job, would you have any advice for how I should approach my supervisor that I am planning to leave? It just sounds so sudden and I know they will be caught off guard. I am lost at how to even bring it up. My supervisor knows I live far so I could maybe say that I found a job that is closer to me but I have no idea what to say to her.
  2. My colleague is actually sisters with the person from the new company. My colleague told me she’s going to retire in about two years and she thinks that this new company would be a great opportunity for me. And she thinks the new company would treat me better than my current company. She’s not taking the job herself because it is not her field. My colleague and I are in two different departments. Also my colleague is retiring soon and in the new company they are looking for younger people. IE: me I did Google this company and their website is under construction. But when I spoke to the lady last week she let me know approximately the number of people who work at this company. Comparing to my current company this new company is a bit smaller. There were other websites that spoke of this company and it appears That they Work on a lot of projects for a lot of big name brands
  3. So just a little backstory: I’ve been working at my current company for 8 years. It’s the first company that has hired me as a permanent employee. The other places I worked at before this, I was only a temp for several months. Anyway, in these 8 years, I’ve worked in 2 different departments (first department for 5 years, then transferred to my current department and going on 3 years at the end of this month). Anyways, in these 8 years I feel like I have really grown. I’ve made great relationships with the people I work with. The ONLY thing I really dislike is my commute. I live 1.5 hours away from work and when traffic gets really bad, it can be an upward of 2 hours to get home. I don’t really have time to do much after work- I don’t have time to take my daughter out to do her extracurricular activities if she has any, etc So about a week ago, one of my work colleagues pulls me to the side in private and tells me that she knows someone from a different company that is looking for someone in the same field as I am. My colleague mentioned my name to that person and thinks I’d be a great fit in their company. My colleague also thinks this that this new company would treat me better than my current company (again, I have no issues with my current company other than a long commute.. and maybe sometimes my supervisor can be kinda snooty but let’s not get into that!) So my colleague asks me if if I’m interested in the job! I was really caught off guard since I was not technically looking for a new job.. but of course I’m always a little curious of everything, so I ask her what city the job is located in. Turns out, this new company is only 30 min from my house! So now I’m more intrigued because the commute is already shorter. So, my colleague gives me the name and # to call this person to get more info about the job. I call this person the next day and we chat for about 30 min. I ask her what the typical day is like, how big is the company etc etc to get an idea of what it’s like since my only real experience of being with a company is the one I’m currently at. I also let her know what I do at my current job and she seemed to like what I said and that I would most likely be doing similar things at the new job. I was not going to bring up wage questions but since she was the one who brought it up, that’s when we talked about it. Well, turns out if I get this new job, I would be making about $5 more than my current job. $5 raise and shorter commute!! Sounds so good right? So anyways, we scheduled a time for me to come in for an interview which is next week where I get to meet her and a second person who I believe would be my actual boss. Based on the previous phone convo, I am led to believe that she is interested in me. She looped me into a text chain between her and the other person that would be interviewing me and in his text, he said he would introduce me to the company, staff, and company culture. Does this sound like I got the job already? I mean, most likely not since I still have to do the interview but I know there’s some places that do interviews but deep down they know already whether they want to work with you or not. Just wondering what you guys think of that text?? Also, if i do get this new position, I am already nervous of how to bring it up to my supervisor that I want to quit! I feel so guilty since I’ve only been at this position for 3 years and these 3 years is the only experience I have in this position! What’s the best way to break up with a company? I have not done this before. I also dread confrontation. I don’t even know what my opening words would be. Should I even go for this new job? Is it better to stay in a familiar company or go to a new one? This new company, if I decide to go there, is a lot smaller than my current company… smaller in terms of people who work there. Anyways.. (I think I’m babbling) Any advice is appreciated..thank you in advance!
  4. Yes both schools are WSCUC accredited. I’m currently in the Accounting dept as an Accounts Payable Specialist at my current employer but I have no other accounting background. I’ve been in this role for a little over 2 years. I have a Bachelors degree in Political Science which I haven’t used and probably won’t use. My thinking is, since I’m in a job that I like now, that maybe I should further my education in the field I’m in to have more knowledge of what I do and to learn other areas of accounting should I ever want to advance in my field or apply for another accounting job. i would love to earn a degree which I’m making use of.
  5. I’ve been thinking about going back to school lately but not sure which direction I want to go. Does anyone here have an online masters degree from either National University or University of Arizona Global Campus? More specifically, MS in Accounting?? How much time a day did you devote to the program? Also in your opinion would these 2 schools be good choices and if you have recommendations on other good online schools? I want to do online because I work full time and have 2 kids so I do not see myself taking in person classes at this time, but if possible i would love to further my career. I think my biggest fear would be to enroll and then regret it because I would not have time for it. Then also waste all that money. I would love to hear your thoughts if you have any experience. Thanks.
  6. I just finished Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.. and I'm really excited to go to the bookstore tomorrow and getting the 2nd installment. It's so good! I'm glad on spring break to kill a lot of time reading for fun
  7. The first time I felt my boyfriend's boner while we were making out, he pointed it out himself and he was like, "sorry for my little friend.." haha. He said he was embarrassed, but then I also told him I was embarrassed too, probably because I gave him one lol. But yeah.. it's nothing to us now.. he always gets one when we make out and we just got used to it. And to drive him more insane, I like to get on top and grind myself on him when we make out lol.
