A Home was purchased and no Sellers Disclosure was provided..now the Buyers have found too many problems to list, worth 25k. Home purchased one year ago.

Seller discouraged buyers, who were trsuting her and were green, NOT to get the home inspected.

Does anyone have any experience with that in Texas??

I'm a fulltime college student, and I've been on the same job five years, but have tried a few other jobs during this time which I didn't like, so I left after a few months. Is it considered lieing on the application if I don't list the short term jobs? Can an employer find out?

I want to leave my current job, but only if I can find a place that pays better, where I feel more comfortable. Otherwise, it's not worth leaving a job I've been on five years.

So, when filling out job applications, do you list all employers, including those where you only stayed a few months? How long would you have to work at a job before you'd consider listing them on your application? I'm worried that employers may be turned off if they see I've worked a couple of jobs 3-6 months and then left, even if I did remain employed on another job over five years during that time.

It's about wal-mart trying to take Xmas away from children,
Single parents can't afford Christmas present for their children if they do away with lay-a-way. Wal-Mart is supposed to support
the communities where they have stores but all they want to do is cut back wages. I heard Target is thinking about lay-a-way. This may not hurt you or I but it sure will hurt a lot of kids getting ready for the new school year & parents trying to make a good Christmas.

I worked part time for a local gocery store in my town. I've been there for about 6 years. Acumilated vacation time and personal time. I got pregnant and couldn't work but maybe 4 to 8 hrs a week there. It wasn't under a doctor's notice. Anyways I had some complications with my pregnancy. Nobody told me to fill out paper for any maternity leave. After the baby I went about 6 weeks before I called them and asked them to put me back on the schedule. They told me that my job was terminated and that I would have to reapply. I asked why and told them about my vacation time that I had and I think I'm entitled to it. Well I called the corporate office and they told me I wasn't eligible for any time b/c I didn't average so many hours a months. I really couldn't. The District manager asked me why I didn't find out about the leave. I told him I was trying to have a baby and wasn't realy worried about my p/t job. Do you think they should pay me for my vac. time? I felt they violated me!

Our company president and CEO has chatted about our employees being "so important"...

yet this same guy who has taken over the company has steadily eroded the employees by taking virtually every perk they used to get, with the major one being service awards to people who have been at the company for a long time.

How am I suppose to develope some sense of trust with this individual as an employee, when at meeting we preach one thing, yet we do something very different.

Does anyone else face this dilema at work, when we distort, or twist the facts to knowingly decieve people?

I receive 30 to 40 emails a day from a unidentified mortgage company and their message does not have an area to click to unsubscribe. I do not want to keep receiving these emails. Also, when I read their email there are weird words at the bottom that don't make any sense.

My daughter is a real people person, and wants to work in HR some day for a major corporation.

How do I break the news to her that this is no longer a noble position, and that she will just be a pawn to implement such policies as laying off people due not due to performance, but to sell-off the job to a 3rd world country. Or to tell someone their company life insurance policy made the corporation a benifactor when someone dies...or that the pension plan coffers have been raided, or that they need to carry a cellphone with them when they go on vacation, or a number of other scripted corporate excuses for using people like inventory. This job is for someone, but how do I convince her so she does not become corrupted?

I was previously employed by two local companies, and informed by managers of both, that they are not allowed to verify dates of employment by phone, fax, or mail at the local address where I worked. Supposedly, only their human resource office in another state can do that.

If you have been told this, how do you fill out the job application? Do you put down the address and phone number of the out of state office, or do you put down the local address where you worked, but only the phone number of the out of state office?

Also, if a company tells you they only verify employment using www.theworknumber.com, how do you list that on the application? Do you leave the address and phone number blank on the application, and just provide the website address with the work number? Those applications only give you a few skinny lines, so I don't have room to explain all of this. It's aggravating.

I am seeking a career as a Firefighter in the NW of the USA. I am voluteering and am a Firefighter 1 and will obtain my EMT Basic by next Spring.

I hope to be hired by my City but realise that it is a better senario for them to hire Paramedics than Basics (the Dept' is small) and I just want to be a Firefighter rather than a Paramedic.

Do you know of other States, Cities, Towns etc that hire just Firefighters without EMT status? Or with just a Basic status?

Do you have recommendations to advance my career?
