What is the best way to answer an ad for employment when it asks for salary requirements and history? Do you just ask for an hourly rate or have some fancy wording to go with it? What have you used in the past?

Hello.

I’m just not sure if I should apply for the similar job again when I was rejected few months ago for the similar position in the same company. Well...I got the second round of interview, but in the final selection, I was rejected. It happened a few months ago, and I sent the hiring manager a formal letter after the rejection that I am still interested in the position and asked the hiring manager to let me know of any similar future positions within the company.

Today, I found out that there was a similar position opening in the company. Well...I didn’t hear from the hiring manager, I found out about it on the public recruitment website.

Do you guys think I should apply again for the similar position?
Should I give another try?
Or is it going to sound too desperate?

Does any of you have gone through similar experiences like this and successfully landed a job at the end?

Thanks always for great replies!

I read that student loan interest was tax deductable no matter how you do your taxes. Is this true? We always take the standard deduction and this is the first year we have started paying student loans that were in deferment.

In Los Angeles,CA., What school would be a good place to try? What career colleges can I go to in order to try to become a paramedic or anything with medicine, except for working with little kids and just checking people's heart rate and weight. I want to learn how to make surgical dressings and give the right shots to people. Something above working with children(you know, trying to make them laugh, giving them a lollipop.) and below ER(u know, blood everywhere, life or death situations, arms missing)?

This week I got offered a job in biotech I like alot. However, another job, one that I like even better, wants to interview me tommorow. The first job needs to hear back by tommorow as well, so I don't have enough time to go to the interview and then call the first job to tell them if i accept. Should I risk it and take the first job and quit if I do really well with the interview tommorow and they want me to join??? I don't want to lose this opportunity for that great job, but I'd be happy with the one that already wants me THANKS!

I am talking about painting portraits, not taking photographs. I am in college and I'm thinking about changing my major from psychology to painting. I was wondering if people still get their portraits painted nowadays. Do you think there is still a market for this? Could I actually make a living from this? Or is this something I would have to do as a side job if I really wanted to paint?

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and my supervisor has been unreasonably intolable about my work schdule. This month alone I have worked EVERY weekend. I had one Saturday and Sunday off this month, actually this weekend and on Tuesday she just pulled the clipboard down and made a annoucement that the schulde was going to be revised, and then took my weekend away without asking me if I had anything planned or anything! I'm growing so frustrated with her and her methods, she is totally unprofessional and does not deserve to have her position! What can do about her antics, and is it even legal or fair.
