This summer I worked at a Starbucks licensed store. I really loved it, so I decided to apply at the new SB's that's getting ready to open. They gave me an interview and then a 2nd interview, but then they didn't call me. I thought it went well. My 1st cousin works at Starbucks + she talked to the district manager + she said she would hire me. Does anyone have any ideas why she didn't call me?

I am talking about those companies that say they can help work out repayment plans with lower interest rates and monthly payments.

I want to open a Roth IRA with USAA (my bank) and they require that I make $50 contributions a month to my Roth IRA. Is there any IRA law that says that I MUST keep contributing once the account is open? Does anyone else have a Roth IRA with USAA?

Adding to a previous question. I lost my job and need to cash out my 401K (We have no money in the bank) but since I dont work there I cant just withdraw what I need , I have to witdraw the whole amount and that will cost me half my money. I have $68K and I will lose $30K to taxes .
This is my question , can i then do this then , Transfer the 401K to a Traditional IRA then withdraw just what I need maybe $15 to 20K paying about half to taxes leaving $48K in my IRA. Will I lose anything when I transfer from 401 K to IRA and then Can I imediatly withdraw the money i need say 20K from the IRA i just set up.

I've taken to only coming to Yahoo Answers and my other fave web sites when I'm at home, otherwise I can spend hours here! I know it's wrong because it's stealing from my boss. How else can I stay focused?

I just interviewed for a bartending job, which seemed to go extremely well (you never know of course!) and ended with the interviewer telling me that they would be contacting people in the next couple of days for second interviews. Here's a couple of other things that i am wondering:

Is a thank you letter overkill considering that it was just an initial screening interview or should I send emails after every interview?

Should I explain why I am the perfect fit for them in my initial thank you email or should I "save some ammunition" for the second interview?

Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Will no one hire you if you worked at a Wal-Mart for two years?

If one has the qualifications to work at a higher-up job, will they frown upon that person if he worked at a Wal-Mart for a while?

With high gas prices and everything is costing more than it did five years ago, how does your family stay out of debt? I wish our salaries would increase as quickly as inflation does but I doubt that will be happening anytime soon.

Quite seriously, a straight-faced interviewer asked me if I were a piece of fruit, what would it be and why? I answered pomegranate because there is more to the inside than what you first may perceive from looking at the outside. I didn't get the job. I suppose they were more a 'pear and grapes' kind of company.
