Business & Finance - 24 August 2006

I'm moving to the area in 2 weeks and can't do a long-distance job search (I live 2 hours away and work insane hours). My husband of 1 week is a student at the University of Delaware and had an apartment in the college's family housing practically thrown at him today. He jumped on it, so SURPRISE I'm moving to Newark on the 8th! Not a bad thing (we live near Dover DE, one of the most boring places on the planet and horrible to find a decent job in) so I'm glad to get out.

I'm currently working as a department manager in a warehouse store so I have a lot of CS experience. I also have a lot of computer skills. I want to know how long to expect before getting an assignment through one of the temp agencies. I have a solid work history and I'm no slouch either. I can afford to be out of work for a month or 2 but still, I go crazy without work!

In the bussiness world, men want more from us women and love to take advantage from us. Just because their power it does not mean i should have to tolerate disrepect from them. Stand up for yourself even it means getting into trouble.

I'm thinking about study real estate but I absolutely have no idea what steps I should take. Should I go university to get a degree or should I just go to real estate school to get a license? And what will be the difference between having degree with license and just a license? Also what will be the qualification to work for real estate company??

I have a lot of knowledge when it comes to computers. I know a lot about Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook, Internet Explorer, how to file. I can type 75-80 words per minute, my data entry skills are about 12,000 ksph, which I was told by a staffing agency that is exceptional and they only require most people to get between 6 and 7 thousand for data entry. I have even won awards at a vocational school for a competition at the regional and state level in Keyboarding Production. I include all of that information in my resume and cover letters. Only problem is I dont have any real experience. I just have my knowledge and skills and the only kind of jobs I've ever had is like KFC, Wendy's, BP and Ace Hardware.

What can I do to make myself stand out so I can acquire a type of job like that? I feel like I've sent out so many resumes for a clerical type position, but have yet to be accepted for an offer or even an interview. I think I'm qualified with my skills.

I am recovering from some financial problems from years ago. My credit scores are around the middle 650's. I recently purchased a home (1200 mortgage) and I have 2 mastercards with 0 balance. No other bills except utilities, cable, etc. Make approximately 65K per year. What am I looking at for interest rates? I have 5K for down payment. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Do you think African Americans and Hispanics make less money or get promoted less than Whites in the coporate job place. If so, what is your logic? If not, what logic supports this claim. Also, do you feel that a white supervisor is more likely or less to be-friend his minority employees more than white employees or vice versa?

Any good tips on which companies to invest in?

I just closed a mtg refi. My lender found a $3500 chargeoff on my credit report. I called the company who placed the item. They could not find anything with partial acct # provided on the report. Had them cross-reference my social security #--nothing.

I spoke to a rep (in India, maybe?). Was asked to fax all info that I have to them. I don't have info. I need THEM to provide info since they are the ones who placed this item on my report.

What is the best way to handle this? Deal with the creditor and hope they rescind the item on report. Deal with the reporting agency and hope, since I don't any documents, that they see merit in this case and proceed. Or, pay a local atty a fee to handle this?

When contacting the creditor about this, I was switched repeatedly to/from different reps. I sensed a run-around and don't want this to get long and drawn out.

What is the most sensible course for resolution? The path of least resistance? I don't want a headache.
