My conscience is getting the best of me and I am not sure how to approach the situation.

However, yesterday as I was returning from lunch, I saw the VP of my new construction employer shaking hands with my old boss.

My supervisor accepted the friend's side of what happened began to "throw the book" at me. I got upset and walked out. I want to keep my job but do not want to continue working with this person.

211. Can you advise me as to where I can find out some more information about creating a career portfolio?

Or, should I keep it more generic and simply say the salary offered doesn't meet my requirements?

213. How do you know that the job or career you choose is the one for you?

218. Different people have told me that a two-page resume is better than a one-page resume, and vice versa - and I should take into consideration the "8-10 year rule of thumb." What is this rule?
