Business & Finance - 31 August 2006

I keep calling a naval museum about a position I'm interested in; met all the qualifications, my resume's been looked at by a career counselor, etc.

I passed the first interview with a supervisor; now I need to get a second one with HIS boss. I've been calling for several weeks (about 3 months or so). Should I continue to bug the crap out of these guys?

Likewise with similar jobs, how long would it take me to call someone before I am granted an interview? Does calling them once a week help anything? I understand that they are busy and such; it's just that I would like a job that would help put me through a master's degree program.

At the moment, this is getting QUITE FRUSTRATING and I feel like I should give up and start some crappy home-based business.

Any advice?

We have a clothing business and have a huge opportunity ahead of us, but we are severely undercapitalized. We are slowly recovering from a crippling loss in 2004 which has left us with really nasty credit. Is there anything out there that can help us obtain funds to take advantage of this opportunity which will put us back on track and pay off our bills?

I am putting together a children's full service birthday party service. I plan to hire entertainers like clowns and magicians to go to the party location. In this case, who carries the liability? Is it up to the independent entertainer to carry their own insurance, or am I liable as the party service company?

Don't you just hate the " What is your biggest weakness question?"

To me that shows a weakness on the part of the interviewer, not being able to come up something more creative.

Below please reply as you would if you could reply any way you wanted.

What is 'your' credit score? What are the advantages/disadvantages of 'your' score. If it's not good, what are the bad things? (medical bills, credit card debt, late payments), etc. Your (non-identifying) specific answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

i recently started work as a paralegal at an ethnically diverse law firm. however, the corporate culture (actually its a small private firm managed by one man) is manipulative and selfish. there are no boundries as far as work accountability is concerned. our meetings are basically focused on assigning blame. and the co-workers are also selfish. if we work late hours, they "sneak in"food without asking (even politely) the new person (one other person besides me). secondly my immediate supervisor has an extremely flexible schedule due to her kid and comes and goes as she pleases, and takes days off without any notice or reason. while, i'm expected to pick up on her work and get the blame too. boss has mentioned many times in meetings that i am available to work more hours since i dont have children. 3rd everyone is allowed to give me work. 4th i commute 2 1/2 hrs each day and work 6 days a week. i want to confront my boss but cant afford to lose the money. is this normal?should i stay?

I do not really need a million dollars, although it would be nice to have, what I really need to know is how to get out of financial destitution and into financial independence.

i'm a 25 year old mother and attending college online. But I would like to make some extra income that I DO NOT have to pay. I've looked around and did some research and most of them are scams. Like Surveys for instance and data jobs.

I had a card with discover and i had to pay medical bill ect with that card on thing led to another and they were not willing to work with me at all. they told me they are going to charge it off but that was like 4-5 years ago.

Which do you think works better in bringing in new customers to our deli. Sending out direct mailing postcards or going around to businesses in person and giving them a menu and postcard in person. Also, what do you think is the best day to go out marketing that would get the best response for people to try our deli for lunch or catering. Thank you!
