Business & Finance - 9 July 2006

I'm in college with a double major of marketing and management. My goal is to work for a major coffee company or restaurant chain after I graduate. I have no previous management experience, but I have worked in foodservice for 3 years-- two as part of the waitstaff, one as a prep cook. Is there hope for me?

I moved into the apartment after they signed the lease! They knew I might be moving in, but it wasnt for sure. We provided all of the furniture in the house and pay the pet deposit for our dog. Our roomates will not negotiate with us because they refuse to "support" me by paying 1/3 each. Jeremy and I agreed to pay 40% of the total rent because we have the master, but definately not 1/2 because we are truely still sharing our room. My opinion is that we chose to live in the same room to help eachother with bills! We tried negotiating, but they still will not accept it. What should we do? Does anyone have any solutions?

I ordered some items from an online company in May and I never received them. I contacted the company several times and haven't heard back from them. There is no telephone number provided to contact the company. Who can I report this to in order to get my money back?

It is a collections center and I have a year experience at a place where I was their "prodigy" in credit collections (I'm a college student.. it's the only thing to do around here).

I went in for an interview a few days ago, the first one was normal and everything.. during the 2nd one the woman said

"I see you have enough experience and know how a call center works. If you were interested in management we do hire out as well as within our company. If you want this position you need to let someone know. It will be 50 hours a week but don't let it bother you. It's basically a glorified babysitting service where you sit at a computer and deal w/the issues that co-workers bring to work from home".


I would of course talk about benefits etc before I take the offer.. but how do I go about doing this?

I have documented late rental payments for 6 of the last 7 months. Tenant refuses to pay late fees and fees charged by my bank to resubmit NSF checks. Tenant is uncooperative when Home Owners Association requests for her to repair broken window in a timely manner. Per tenant's statement she is planning on subletting rooms (not agreed on lease ) Upon serving Notice to Pay Rent or Quit tenant issues verbal complaints of non-working appliances that she says have not worked since last November, however, she brought this to my attention through the person who served her today. Tenant took full resposibility (verbally over the phone on 6/14/2006 for lease after 2 roomates moved out last May, for which I received no notice from either one of the 3 tenants. Current tenant did pay rent in full for the month of June but refused to pay late fees. Tenant also has paid $ 1300.00 of the $ 1525.00 monthly rental fee.

I'm 34 years old and have saved over $80,000 so far in a 401k, IRA, and Roth IRA. I'm putting 20% into my 401k, my employe is matching 4.5%, so that's around $14,000/yr. I'm also putting $4000/yr into a Roth IRA, and $300/mo into my emergency fund which has almost $18,000 (savings). I'm being very aggressive right now, because I feel like I might be behind on my retirement savings, but it's hard to tell. I've used retirement calculators but never know if I can count on them.
