This motivational speaker type came into one of my classes with his long-winded and boring presentation about 'building a resume'. Two quotes that struck me as incredibly stupid were "Employers don't give a hoot what your GPA is" and "if you don't have any job experience, nobody will hire you".

If employers never hired anyone without job exeprience, how would anyone get job experience in the first place? With regards to the first, why would anyone want to pass hiring a smart, hard-working A-student to instead hire an unmotivated and stupid C student? This guy seems to be here on the mission of scaring undergrads into going out and working as underpaid labor for local companies.

Should I take him seriously or is he full of crap?

We've had a house on the market for two months with no nibbles and hardly any lookers. The house is in a good neighborhood (good schools, shopping, away from bad traffic areas, easy access to freeways) and is in great shape. We had more interest in the house when it was for sale by owner. We had a deal that fell through and decided to get a realtor because we moved four hours away and didn't want to deal with having to go back to show the house. Are some listing agents better than others? With so many buyers looking at houses on the internet now, does it matter who we list with? If it does matter, how do we find out which realtors have had the most success in our neighborhood? Thanks.

I just moved into a new apartment. There is no shower curtain in the bathroom. I don't know whether they are suppose to furnish it or if I am suppose to buy my own. I don't want to waste the money if they are suppose to furnish it. There are already couches in the living room and beds in the bedrooms. So isn't the bathroom suppose to be furnished too?

I understand that two weeks they can let you go. But for 30 day notice they have to either give you severance pay or unemployment, correct?

At the end of the interview I gave him a copy of my resume with references in it. He looked at the objective statement and told me I should have tried to write something better than "An entry level [field of interest] position." He was very polite and did not seem upset.

I thanked him for his honesty and his criticism.

What do you make of this? Am I a fool for thinking I still have a chance to work for this guy? Is it likely that he was just testing my reaction?

Gorgeous George & his Four grown Sons.

1.) George, owned and operated a small engine repair shop from my rental home and used the hall tub as a parts cleaning vat.
2.) His son Frank, build a chicken coop in the garage where he housed upward of 35 chickens & two roosters.
3.) Two of his sons Steve & Nick were both arrested for running a pawn shop out of the master bedroom. My property was on the 6:00 PM & 11:00 PM news and on the front page of two local news papers.
4.) Georges ex-wife shot out three living room windows, adding another arrest to the property, and another visit from television and reporting crews.
5.) Someone pulled out five windows and bricked over them with out my permission, but no one knows who actually did it?
6.) Georges youngest son Wayne was arrested for having a stolen cow tied to a tree in the back yard and was charged with cattle rusteling.

Recently went and printed off 25 resume's, expecting to have a bit of difficult getting a job, however, he first place I visited offered me a position, which I took on my mum's advice (just a cafe job- clearing tables, washing dishes, taking orders, putting together cakes and drinks, etc.).

Here's the thing- the lady who hired me is really rude, as well as a lot of the other staff there. My boss told me that I would be put down on a roster, but has instead been just calling me either the night before, or on the same day that she wants me to work. This makes things really difficult for me, since I've recently been very sick and have a lot of specialist appointments which clash with this- last time I worked, she didn't even pay me and said "I'll pay you next time you come in"-- she didn't call me in for THREE WEEKS and even then, tried to pretend as though she had already paid me for last time. She tried to weasel out of getting my bank details too.
