I have been upset in my current job for some time so when it was my appraisal last week I was looking forward to bringing up some of the items that upset me - wages/hours/responsibilities.
My boss then gave me a small raise and said that my hours would be changing and I would no longer have to work saturdays.

He then turned round this week and asked me to start my new hours and keep doing saturdays.

Yesterday I was offered a new job with training that I want.

What would you do?

I was wondering if there exists some nice software for portfolio management. I know how to make a portfolio with Ms Excel, that's fine. But maybe there is some nice specialised package which can facilitate the work significantly.
Can somebody help me with that?

Having spent 2 years in an international consulting company in Paris, I decide to take a look at outside world and seek better opportunity for carrer development. The USA and Canada are two of my favorite next destinations. So I'd like to know how to get into contact with good head hunters, especially those who offer job opportunities with international scope. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!

This question may sound very stupid. But actually I am doing a research on loans. The questions for which i am finding answers are : -

1. What is meant by a loan your point of view.
2. Why take a loan.
3. What makes you think about a loan.
4. Whats the emotional process going while taking a loan. (fear of repayment etc.. Reason can be anything)
5. What aspects you look when you apply for loan? (interest rate, bank, people handling your application etc......)

It will be great if you guys can give some clues.

When the company I worked for closed operations, we used our credit cards (carefully and all out of necessity) to supplement our lost income. Despite help from family, we still incurred over $30,000 in credit card debt. I also have student loans that I have to pay back ($35,000). We have fallen behind on all our credit card payments (some are already in collections) because our combined income is not enough to make ends meet. The very little income that we currently make is barely enough to pay our rent, utilities, and the expenses to care for our three children. We recently consulted with a bankruptcy lawyer and he advised that we file for bankruptcy. In his exact words - Companies don't care. You're just another number. They just want to settle any amount you can afford. Even if your situation gets better and you were able to repay your debts, it would take years and the bad credit score would still be on our record for the next 7 years.

We really don't want to file! Need advice.

Throughout all Queens high schools, one of the congressmen (sadly I forgot who it was) is looking for interns currently still in high school. I want to apply for the internship but I need a letter of interest and a resumee.

I made a resumee, although the only experience I had prior was service inside school, would GPA and other things like NSHSS help?

Also I found a sample letter of interest and understand the format and all, but would I add an extra paragraph explaining my schedule? Also, what should I title it??? No title? Just leave the address at the top?

Somewhat irrevelevant to the topic, but if I did get the internship and I applied to a college (mainly in the medical field), would a recommendation from a congressman help?

Are they more evil than your average run of the mill bank? Are they quicker to take advantage of their customers than any other bank in America? Do they make "America" seem like a pejorative?

Presently the board of directors are 55+. So hardly there are creativity or BD.At this age these directors are worrying about family /peresonal matters only. Moreover due to short time there can not be much changes in the organisation.So in my opinion the board directors must be at the age of 45 to 50 so that they can do better service by which company can perform well.
