Hi,

My query might sound a bit philosophical to some. I have always been an above average person in most spheres of life and am currently looking for a job change. Happened to look at career opportunities on the website of a renowned international organization which offers really exciting career opportunities. But the literature (particularly the adjectives) on their website seems to suggest that they want nothing but the best…now the demons in my mind have begun to hold me back…I know I am a decent performer and can work hard if the situation/condition demands but never been the best in any one thing at anytime in my life.

Secondly I don’t meet the EXACT requirements of any particular profile but have some knowledge and desire to work in some areas.. should I even try ? Is it wrong for an above average person to dream big ?

I got my real estate licence a couple of years ago and my loan agent's licence been only for a couple of months so I'm farely new to this business. so far my real estate deals have been separate from my loan deals because I heard that it would be a problem if you're acting as both in one deal. The problem is when I do the real estate and I give the loans to someone else, the deals doesn't close as smoothly because the loan agent I work with charge a higher fees than I would normally do, and it has upset my clients. My mortgage broker has offered me to use his name on the loans and told me I can do same thing as what the loan officer normally do, but for some reason I'm not very comfortable doing it.... any suggestions from experienced real estate / loan professionals would be appreciated...

i have asked for my card activity to be suspended. Now, these are not my charges and I have no intention of paying them. also it angers me that I had one of the big 3 credit companies moniutoring my account and yet this happenned. I rarely use this card. The charges came form a place quitre distant from me. I have no idea how it occurred unless the credit card company made an error in recording the transactions. The card is AMEX. I know that if they request payment from me and I do not pay that my credir rating will be harmed. I currently have a very high credit rating

So, besides hurting my credit rating, if I have to refure to pay, what else could happen?

I really need an online job. It is so stressful for me to go to work. My blood pressure has gone up from 147/90 to 168/109. I have to work but everytime I get a job there is always "someone" that gives me a hard time, or I should say "hates me". I can't deal with the ridiculousness of "office politics". I am a good worker, always on time, I don't fool around, very dependable, which I have been told in almost every job I have ever had.
But for some reason because of the "bulliness" of the so called "office routine", or better known as "office politics" I am just not getting anywhere.
I am just so stressed out. It seems like there is always someone looking for every little, tiny, mistake or flaw I may have to bully me.
I don't know what to do, I have to work, but the office "bulliness" is going to kill me.
Does anyone know of an online job that does not deal with selling. Medical transcription or appointment setting.
Please help me. Please.

I interviewed with a company today and the interview went so well that they almost instantly decided to ask me back for a 2nd interview on Tuesday.

I'm working on a thank you letter to the hiring manager and I'm planning to address the manager by her first name (in the letter).

My reasoning for using her first name is that they are on a first name basis in the office.

What do you think? Should I be using her first name in the letter or her last name?

I have several credit cards is any they keep raising my limits w/o my knowledge. I'm afraid now that I have too much credit in my name. Is there a way to fix this? Perhaps ask the company to lower my limit without this effecting my credit negatively. I just don't want the option to ever have that much debt for whatever reason.

When I was considering doing a PhD all the people I consulted (careers advisers, my professor, friends and family) said it was a fantastic opportunity. The money was much better than I would have been offered as a graduate engineer in research and development….so who would have said no.

After much hard work and some prizing winning research, I completed my PhD two years ago. However, I am still yet to find a decent job. On a weekly basis, I search the internet for relevant jobs and approach every relevant company I can but no luck. I don’t want to stop hunting as it means I have wasted 5 years of my life on research and a further 2 years searching for a job.

How long is too long to continue searching? If I stop looking what can do I do next? Is there a place for all those people who couldn’t find a career after their PhD?

About a month ago, I went grocery shopping. We had just moved and I had to stock a new pantry, refrigerator, and buy a lot of cleaning products, so the total was pretty high (about $300). I paid by check. When I got home, I discovered that the clerk (who was obviously a new employee) handed my check back to me with the receipt. I went back the next day to return the check.

What I am wondering is, if I hadn't found the check (or simply hadn't returned it), what would have happened? Would I have been charged for the groceries? Would the clerk be fired?

I'm not sure why, but I keep wondering about this. Any ideas?

Hi I just started as a property agent.
Anyone can advise me how to search for tenants and landlords as most of them seem to already have their own property agent...
Appreciate advice on anything about property matters too.
