I'm 24, I've been working as a translator for 2 years in the document control department. I translate documents English to Spanish. I also speak French and Japanese. I've never been to Japan, but I passed the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) at the Japanese embassy in Mexico City. A company was asking for a trilingual buyer, someone who could speak Japanese, Spanish, and English. I got an interview, and the choice was between me, and this 22-year-old guy, fresh out of college who I got to speak with. His Japanese sucked, but he had great stories about his two-week vacation in Japan. The interviewer spoke no Japanese, she just listened me talk about my Japanese certifications from different institutions, and his vacation in Japan. She chose him to be the new buyer.
She chose a non-Japanese speaker who went to Japan for 2 weeks, over someone certified who just hasn't had the chance to go over there.

Is this fair?

OK, so I'm filling out applications for my first job, and I came across a question that no one can seem to answer for me. I need to know if it's alright to put a shortened version of my first name on the application. This is the name I am ALWAYS called, and I'm actually planning on legally changing it once I turn 18. Now, I asked my mother about this, and she said I shouldn't - even though she does it herself! (She hasn't legally changed the name she was born with, but the shortened version is on her driver's licence, rental agreement, signature, credit cards, etc.) So, I'm confused. Can anyone help me on this? (BTW, I'm in California, if that makes any legal difference.)

Is it a good idea to take out a loan for the purpose of having a 5% deposit to put down on buying a house?? I have a mortgage agreed up to 95% and am desperately thinking of ways to get round the fact I have no deposit? I wondered if a loan for this purpose was a bad idea? I was thinking of paying it off in 2 years after doing up the house and selling it on. What do we think kids???

I have been unable to locate any documents regaurding a home of mine that supposedly went into foreclosure.I had a realestate person aquire me some documents that stated that the loan was paid off before foreclosure had begun. How can I find out who paid off this loan? And why are there no documents stating that it was in the foreclosure stages. I was told to get out of this home, by someone whome I thought was the bank. I believe that in this situation my ex husband was given this house because of some watts credit thing.
