Business & Finance - 5 February 2007

My friend is facing difficult times in shaping-up his career. He has14 years of IT experience. Due to some political matters, he quit from his recent job from a leadership position. Now he is finding difficult to quote the reason for his exit when he is applying for new opportunities.

Current reason he is quoting - didn't find career growth, so I left and started exploring but this is not a convincing reason based on his experiences with few employers.

It has been 2.5 months and hardly he has got few interview calls. General observation - brand value of his resume is phenomenal and the positions he handled were highly respectful but no luck

Any suggestions to handle the current situation?

I’m 30, married with one child, and have been self employed for just over 2 yrs.
I have debt on credit cards, loans and my personal bank accounts are in such a mess.
My wife has smaller amounts of debt. Our house is worth approx 100k and we have a mortgage of about 50k left and a loan secured on the house also. I recent had a tax bill for 10k that I just cant pay and have 14 days to come up with a solution.

I have no idea what to do, but cant borrow any more.

Its affecting my health and putting immense pressure on my wife and child.

If I go bankrupt will I lose the house? We have nothing else of value, no savings.

I am a single woman and my age is 28 years old. My big problem is, now I have to pay a lot of debts which is not mine. 3 years ago, my sister's business almost colaps and to help her I make a personal loan RM 20000, and give all the money to her. I also give two credit cards under my name. Now my sister's business already bankrupted. All credit cards, personal loan I need to pay by myself. I just quit my job and now I am jobless. I can't blame anybody or myself, just to ask anybody who can give me advice or solutions how to settle everything. With this problem, I can't even give RM50 a month to my mom. Pity her...I am the only child who graduate. I feel useless and sometimes I think I should jump from the 21th floor flats. Pls help...

I had done diploma in mechnical engineering and currently studying B-Tech final year. If v take any successful person the root cause for their success is to work in their intrested fields. Like abdul kalam, billgates, chiranjeevi, bramhanandam ar rahman, sachin tendulkar, everyone based upon their skills and hard work they came up.

I, in my diploma days used to imagine the objects, which was not possible to remaining 64 students. Toppers used to say evrybody has their skills, if v take kaushik he will get idea quickly. I used to convert orthographic views to isometric views and vice-versa. Even when one lecture was explaining a device which was in 2D, the whole class was unable to get idea of that device, i had drawn that in 3D and shown to lecturer then he appreciated me and shown to whole class and it made him easy to explain.

So i dont have enough awareness which field is there related to my skills and interest. I want to do work in the field related to my skills.

I had some credit card and auto debt from 2001 that I have never paid off (and I don't plan to). I have stopped getting calls and notices in the mail about these debts.

1. Can they still come after me for the balances? If yes, how much time do they have left to collect?

2. When can my credit be restored, or at least used again?

Iam a HR professional and working with a MNC firm
in Bangalore. Currently I am working in a project for which my team
manager wants the team members to stay in office beyond office hours
in the evening. Iam a family person and very clear that I cant stay
in office beyond office hours for official formal meetings scheduled
post 6:00 PM. Still there are occassions when if required, I have
stayed in office after office hours to complete my assigned task (my
personal decision) as well as if some meetings are scheduled (on
request basis).

Few days back my manager scheduled a meeting for 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM
without having a concent with me, for which I declined the meeting
mentioning very clearly saying"I really apologise but to inform you
that I have my personal commitments from 6:30 PM onwards, for which
I cannot attend any meeting post 6:15 PM".
Further to my response mail, my Team Manager responded me marking a
copy to the country HR head and the whole team

I am in the process of "cleaning" up my credit. I have several negative accounts that should be scheduled for removal this year as per my State's SOL. ( 7 years). My first one will be 7 years old this March. I need help with the steps on how to assure this will be removed from my account.
1. does anyone have a sample letter that will help me with this?
2. Who do I send this letter to?( The creditor or the credit reporting agency)?
3. Will these accounts come off my account automatically or will I HAVE to write these letters? Can someone help me with the steps or share their own personal experience with this matter.Thanks

I have a terrible problem and I either need to file for bankrupcy or get an IVA but the house I will lose is my mothers but is on my name along with my Dads who passed away a couple of weeks ago. My mother knows nothing about my problems and is already severely depressed and thinks debt is Satan and would be devastated if she lost her home as before my Dad died he paid the whole mortgage off to ensure that she would get by.
