Business & Finance - 20 September 2006

I am a recent university graduate seeking a junior copywriting position. I graduated with an English degree in the top 15% of my class, and am currently enrolled in a short course on copywriting at SFU’s Centre for Writing and Publishing. I also have some freelance experience in the creation of newsletters, brochures, press releases and direct mail fundraising.

My work experience up until now has given me additional skills that would be an asset to any team.

•I am a committed employee with demonstrated skills in problem-solving, time-management and supervision of others.
•Having worked as part of a team in event-planning, my communication skills enable me to work in a diverse number of environments.
•I am experienced with word-processing and MS Office programs, including Publisher.
•Organization and prioritization are second nature to me – I thrive under pressure, and am adept at turning stressful situations into those of success.

the rest doesnt fit. what do u think?

Right now we are thinking about moving out west to Edmonton Alberta Canada from Ontario (approx. 2 days driving). It seems scary now, I know that it would be for the best even if we just go out for a few years and come back, probably a great experience. I am just nervous about it I guess. I have never travelled or been anywhere before so that could be why I have so much anxiety.

I was wondering if the rest of you could share your experiences about moving far away from home, and what it was like? And what would you do? By the way we are thinking about moving out there for the work and my hubby's dad lives out there.

I'm listing my house for sale and, if everything goes to plan, it will sell almost exactly 1.5 years after we bought it. We stand to gain about $50k. Do I owe the capital gains tax on the entire $50k, or is it prorated so I would only owe 1/4 of the calculated tax (1/4 because I lived in the house for 3/4 of the 2 years required to earn the full exemption). Also, I've heard that the tax rate is 15% and 20%, which is it? Thank you in advance.

We have already explained to the employees that this kind of behavior will cost them money, because it will come out of thier Christmas bonus, as the company needed to pay to clear out the pipes. We have also put up signs in the bathrooms. What else can we do?

I have a job working for the State of Utah, so it pays bad and is a high stress job, however, I have the best benefits I've ever heard of, with how much I save on benefits I actually make as much as someone with my position in the private sector. I'm an Executive Secretary and I hate it, I want a job that I will like that makes the same amount of money or more, But then I think about how everyone hates there job and I just need to get use to it or that I'm being a baby. I feel like I dont fit in, everyone is 40 years or older and I'm only 20, I've worked here a year and I still dont feel confindent in this job. It gets really stressful and sometimes I even had to go to my car to cry, this job is giving me a lot of oppertunities, it will even send me to school, I just dont know how much longer I can take it, I feel drained when I get home, which is effecting my relationship with my fiance. Anyways...What should I do. I hate my job but it is a job with security and opportunity.

How can it go up? Will it effect which job I can get, the college I can go to, the house I can buy? What else can it effect, and what is it really? How important is a credit score in your life? What happens you when you fail to pay your debt and your credit score goes down?

Maybe I'm missing something but it seems economists seem pleased when our currency stays lower as they say it helps manufacters to sell their goods then talk of a slow down in sales if currency gets higher. Why can't they just lower prices to keep the goods moving?
