Can you get a good job with a gross misdemeanor on your record, what about a Felony? I mean, before the allotted time to goes by to get it expunged off your record? Has anyone found any special secrets to get a good job, like companies who don't do background checks or something?

I'm looking for a job. I have a degree, I have what I think is a great deal of experience, but nothing. I have been looking for two years. I go on interviews and they tell me that I seem to big for the job, I don't know what that is suppose to mean. I try to tone things down and take items off of my resume, but I constantly get this, "You should be doing something on your own."

I work in nonprofit, but I also write. I have applied for both nonprofit and writing jobs. I live in Los Angeles. I am getting very frustrated, it is getting more and more expensive here, I paste together all of these insane jobs and live a hand to mouth sort of existence, I'm going to end up homeless, if something doesn't change, I tried to apply for a job at Trader Joes and they didn't even call me back...please give me some advice...

Will someone please tell me what each and every credit score is called? Do they depend on what they are per bureau?

I am thinking of entering this field and I am wondering if this is a good move for someone who already has a Master 's Degree.

I know it can be lucrative after a while and especially if I get enough experience to do some jobs on my own (e.g. flipping). However, statring out on a "commission only" basis is difficult.

What is the best area to enter in that will make use of my qualifications?

Are there salaried positions/ jobs for begginers and is it worth it to make this move now?

Also, can anyone tell me of their personal experience as begginer, i.e. before they became successful?

I'm in a position to sell or rent some property. If I sell, I may break even; this is a buyer's market where the property is. However, the neighborhood seems to be declining, but not drastically. House values have not risen much in about 7 years.

I am wondering if I should lease in hopes that house values will eventually rise over time. Rents don't go much over my housenote in the neighborhood, plus I'd have occasional maintenance and the hassle of dealing with tenants and a property management company. I could take some cash and pay off more note to reduce it so more rent would go in my pocket.
Or if I should just bail and let someone else buy the property? How do you decide? This is a big decision, and I'm sure others have been in my shoes. Can you give me some good advice?

Is there any advice you would have in regards to attitude, presentation, approach, etc. for a job interview in which the position has been narrowed down to myself and another candidate? This is the second time this has happened to me, and I really don't like it, but I have to deal with it. Like to hear from others on how they prepared their mind-set for this situation

Do you follow up with another letter if you hear nothing or just say *#! I'm sorry but duhhhh . . . and help!

Today, I took the day off from work (which is next to impossible because my boss doesn't give time off) I had an interview for another job. Now, they are wanting me to come back for a second interview next week. My work does not give vacation, sick, or personal days. What kind of excuse can I give to leave early for an interview. My excuse today was my doctor wants to run some tests on me and they have to do some blood work and my father is taking me because usually it makes me ill afterwards so I wouldn't be back for work after the appointment.
