think about it. gas prices going crazy, global warming problems, etc etc. and there%26#039;s a demand for it!
why can%26#039;t we work at home? it makes no sense. i know a lot of jobs it%26#039;s just not possible, but if you work on a computer/ phone, why shouldn%26#039;t you have the option to do it from your home??
Why aren%26#039;t companies coming out with at home positions? seriously, think about it?
Of course, you can always try working at home for yourself; I mean, then yiou are your own boss, right?
I do this, so I will warn you, you had better enjoy what you%26#039;re doing, because without a boss breathing down your neck it%26#039;s real easy to play hooky.
On the other hand, I just went out of town last week to a concert -- couldn%26#039;t have done that if I had a boss, i bet...
Anyhow, that%26#039;s my two cents%26#039; worth...

Can someone please check my cover letter??
Hi, Can you please check my cover letter which is for an internal job. And provide any suggestions or pointers to make it better?
Dear ??,
I am writing in response to the job opportunity which was advertised in last weeks announcment for the position of a Training and Development Officer. Based on the requirements outlined in the job description, I believe that I have the necessary skills and experience to thrive in this role and hope that you will consider my application.
I have been with the company for over 3 years in the position of Sales Support. I have worked closely with the UK Sales Team and provided full support for a number of account managers. I have spent a lot of time liaising with other departments to resolve customer issues, and through this I have gained extensive knowledge of how the company works and the way in which the UK sales team operates.
Can someone please check my cover letter??
Sounds good... but maybe a little long?

Too lengthy for a cover. sounds more like a resume%26#039; or application.

Reply:A covering letter should be short and to the point - one page / one and half at very most. If you oversell yourself, you%26#039;ll leave nothing to say at the interview. Also bear in mind your letter could be one of forty - it needs to be short but eye catching.
Your c.v. tells them what you%26#039;re doing and in your case you already work for them, so its a bit like stating the obvious!
I worked for a recruitment agency writing CVs for years. I can%26#039;t do it tonight but I%26#039;ll happily reshape the letter if you want - when%26#039;s your deadline?
Why not try rewriting again with the points I%26#039;ve made in the meantime and I%26#039;ll check back again later tonight?
Also, just another small point... never start a letter with %26quot;I am writing%26quot; it%26#039;s bad grammar and if they%26#039;re reading your letter, its pretty obvious you%26#039;ve written.
You could try %26quot;Further to your vacancy for....., please accept the enclosed CV by way of application%26quot;.

Anyone want to trade my level 70 be pally with 4/5 s3 for holy gear (2/5 for ret) for an alliance priest?
His ret gear is decent, s1 sword and other pvp items. His tank set is good enough for heroics and maybe kara. I%26#039;ll discuss the trade over vent, I%26#039;m legit, so I expect you to be legit. Don%26#039;t be afraid to offer what you have as I am not looking for the best gear or even equivalent gear on the priest. I simply want to reroll as an alliance priest. ALSO IT MUST HAVE A TRANSFER UP AND MUST BE ON A PVP SERVER. Post your offers as an answer to this question please.

No one in the Business %26amp; Finance section wants to trade with you.... lol!

Is any of this illegal?
I work for a small non-profit organization with five employees. We are salaried. We get no breaks during the workday, and we often come in early and have to stay late. We don%26#039;t get overtime, but I%26#039;m not sure what the exemption rules are. Is all of this legal? What are the exemptions for overtime?
Is any of this illegal?
Idk but I would still yalk to the manager and would talk to people working at a courthouse about cause it sounds pretty illegal to me.
Is any of this illegal?
i think it%26#039;s illegal if you don%26#039;t get a break for a full time shift. you need a lunch break.
Reply:What state do you live in? Labor laws very from state to state. Here in NC the law does NOT require breaks to be given. Salaried employees don%26#039;t get overtime.
Reply:saleried people don%26#039;t get overtime, thats why you are on salery!
Reply:If you work an 8 hour shift, the law states that you are mandated a 30 minute break. I was in your position too so I did some research and found they can%26#039;t legally give you no break if you work a minimum 8 hour work day.
Reply:I believe this is a question for your state%26#039;s labor relations agency.
http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/compliance/w... looks like it might be a good place to start your research.
Good luck!
Reply:You are salary. You don%26#039;t get overtime.
But you should be entitled to at least a half hour lunch break...
Reply:Yes, not getting paid for over-time is illegal and you can report this to the better business bureau. After filing the complaint they will investigate and if they find your employer guilty of such accusations they will make your employer back pay each employee for all of the over-time.
Reply:Check with your local labor department. They will know the laws for your state. There are state laws and federal laws. The state laws only take priority if they are more strict than the federal laws.
Also some people on salary do qualify for overtime, management may be exempt but not all people on salary are.
Reply:I dont know, but i think no lunch time is weird, I can not say if you dont have lunch time that means it is illegal, because the laws i have seen so far do not mention if there is any limits on the number of breaks the employees can take during the days. so i think all of the above are legal. the problems are that your boss does not believe in humanity, that is the problem you guys need to talk with him that you guys need breaks for the lunch.
Reply:Go to your HR department, if you don%26#039;t have one for 5 people, go to the person that hired you and state your issues. They must have the employment laws posted. If they don%26#039;t go to your state department of labor. Not all salaired employees are considered %26quot;exempt%26quot;. Your local department can determine %26quot;exempt%26quot; and %26quot;non-exempt%26quot; status. If none of that works, get others to join in and demand better work conditions, it is amazing what you can get when you ask for it. However, be ready to walk out.

HELP MEE! how can I make good money FAST! OTHER THAN BABYSITTING! I'm still a minor so a "real" job is out!!!
I lost my retainer a month ago and my parents had to pay $500 to replace it. It was my responsibility and I feel terrible. My mom even cried after she paid the orthodontist! I%26#039;m so desperate right now I was thinking about figuring out ways to sell drugs or naked pictures of myself. But since those ways are a little bit too desperate, maybe those arent the best ideas. I just feel really bad and the other things I thought of were carwashes with my friends in bikinis so we%26#039;d get more money than the avarage carwash business, but I%26#039;m worried about creepers wanting me to do more than just wash their car. Ideas?!?!!!!
HELP MEE! how can I make good money FAST! OTHER THAN BABYSITTING! I%26#039;m still a minor so a %26quot;real%26quot; job is out!!!
I made some extra money just by doing a few surveys. Although it may seem like a scam, this is the real deal. I like to think realistically, so you may not become rich by doing this, but you definately earn for the amount of work you put in. And, you can put anywhere from just a few minutes a day to 40 hours a week into it. Did I mention there is no startup costs??
Here%26#039;s the site: http://tinyurl.com/59ywun
Good luck! Let me know if you need any help.
HELP MEE! how can I make good money FAST! OTHER THAN BABYSITTING! I%26#039;m still a minor so a %26quot;real%26quot; job is out!!!
That sucks, but you really just have to stick it out. If you%26#039;re over 16, depending on what state you live in, you should be able to get a retail job. If not, sorry but you%26#039;ll have to stick to mowing lawns and babysitting.
OR, find someone who will pay you off the books. If you have a talent, like web design, someone may be willing to hire you, and they%26#039;ll pay you personally, without taking out taxes. That%26#039;s what I do. Of course, being paid hourly for web design isn%26#039;t exactly steady money... but it%26#039;s a start.

Is any good solution for fuel price hike in India?
nothing much we can do. oil may go down in price if recessions take place but in the long run, we won%26#039;t have enough so prices eventually will rise very high. Our best bet is to concentrate on renewable sources. India has a lot of heatwaves, solar power is good alternative if implemented well.
