My interview is at 9:00 tomorrow morning and for the past few mornings I've been waking up with a terrible sounding voice. And I have really bad sounding coughs that get caught in my throat. How do I deal with this at the interview? Should I bring a tissue to cough in or is that rude? And do I still shake their hands after I've been coughing in mine? HELP!

I have been emailed by Staying at Home and Loving it, yet I can't seem to figure out what this is. I have asked what I would be doing if I signed up and I can't get a straight answer. Could someone please tell me what this business opportunity is? I am looking for a legit job out of my home as I homeschool my kids. So, please someone tell me what this is. Thanks so much!

What do you need to become a paralegal? Is there a special training course, or can you be trained in-office?
What about a legal secretary?

It was indicated to me verbally on more than one occasion that I was successfully chosen, then the agent will either never call back or try and string you along for a while, before ignoring you

I started moonlighting 2 hours a night telemarketing for a mortgage broker. This is nonautomated (I dial and wait for them to pick up) cold-calling from a book of leads, all people who took out mortgages 1-3 years ago and MAY be ready to refinance. I get basic info such as dates, lenders, fixed/variable, approx rate.

I got very little training but I have been in sales before and am usually good on the phone. I am supposed to find people ready to refinance and hand them to a loan officer.

The boss has been very disparaging that I've only found 2 leads after six 2-hour shifts. I don't think he realizes most calls don't answer—either don't pick up or go to machines. If someone answers, the person I need usually isn't avail or doesn't speak English.

Of those I talk to, most aren't interested—they don't need to refi, already refi'd, or have someone they want to work with, or just won't talk to some random company.

How many calls should I realistically make in order to get 1 lead

Can I cancel after a month if I don't like it? Also, do they still send an invoice or do you have to set up an account where they directly take the fees?

I just got hired to a fianance firm. I've been working here for 1 month. I was placed in a cubicle that had a very large, very noisy printer right next to me that the manager refused to move. However, the manager gave me permission to allow me to move to another cubicle. I just moved my stuff, and I am scared about what others will think and say when they see me (tomorrow morning) in another cubicle. Everyone in the office is going to question me, and ask me why I moved, and look at me weird. What should I tell them? How should I act and feel? All suggestions and Comments are welcome.
