Business & Finance - 28 May 2007

I'm feeling all nervous about it. I haven't had a new job for 5 years and I can't relax! I'm off this week - finished the old job last week - so i'm spending my time ebaying, cleaning and packing my house up as I'm relocating. How can I stop feeling so nervous?! I know I can do the job but I'm just not good at new starts!

The briefing given was -
===============================
You will be asked to give a short presentation(5-10mins) on a subject of your choosing. This can be on anything at all . We are not looking for people to demonstrate an ability to design and deliver training, merely to get the opportunity to hear you speak in front of others about a topic you are passionate about and take questions on this from the panel if asked.

You can choose any method you like to conduct your presentation, however you will not be able to use power point or any IT equipment.
================================
The job I am applying for is within the civil service, and I am completely stuck on this ! Any help anyone can offer would be great !

Right then. Back again with more work/career related drama. Please help, kind, insightful answerers...

For the last 7 months I have worked in a sales support/office admin role for an IT for a small company. Directors are lovely, hours good and location great but v boring and very average salary (16K). Some telesales involved (yuck!!). I work entirely alone, and live alone too so I am very isolated.

Offered another job by large local (real) estate agents. Role includes office admin and sales admin, meeting and greeting vendors and sellers and database management. Much less responsiblitly but more money (20K) and work in lively busy office.

Current employer (IT company) accepted my resignation last week but now say they want to match the money (20K +), employ another member of staff to share my workload and keep me company, change role to suit me better and move to a nicer office.
I am SO confused. What would you do?

What are the chances of getting a Accounts Clerk job with no experience apart from helping the account floor out with various jobs, while im their receptionist.
If i went into a agency, would this be good enough for them to find a suitable (include training) accounts job for me?

I would dearly love to tell them exactly what I think of them, but a high level of professionalism prevents me from doing so. What would you like to tell your employers if you thought there would be no consequences? Don't hold back - I won't tell!!

I am buying a house to flip. I have bought a couple of investment properties and have done work on them, but this is the first house I am flipping. I was wondering about what gets the best returns on your money, what things are better to have someone do professionally (money compared to time and/or quality level) don't worry about giving me your good tips because I'm not in your market, and if I am, I will just help your values and recent sale figures go up. So don' tbe stingy help out. Thanks!

A friend is telling me that debt will "go away" on your credit report after 7 years of not being paid. I can't see debt just disappearing. Is this true?

My fiance and I have been looking at houses for the past four months. We finally found one in a good neighborhood that we can afford. The problem is it was built in the 1050's, and the furnace, hot water heater, and electric are all original. The fuse box is original. It has the screw fuses. Everything else looks good. The piping under the sinks have been redone. I am just afraid that we will get in there and the original things will start breaking. It's a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home. It appraises for 65,000. We offered her 47,500 and she accepted. Is this a good deal considering all of the original things in the house? How long do you think we could live in this house before we have to rewire it, buy a new furnace and hot water heater, etc.? (We are first time home-owners. We are waiting to marry after we purchase a home due to his bad credit.)

I guess I need to tell you a bit about me so we can narrow this down.

I will graduate this fall with a B.S. in psychology from Illinois tech. I have relevant work experience in survey data and stats for some big name companies.

I also managed computer labs and other employees. I worked on a project for Calamos investments and I'm currently interning at a multicultural marketing agency in downtown Chicago. Lastly, I'm bilingual.

I really don't know how much a person with my skills is worth. Salary.com makes the amounts fluctuate way too much. I have tried to network but I haven't made any relevant connections. My resume is up on monster and career builder. I had a couple of job offers in which they wanted me to drop out from school and work for them full time. I turned them down.

Any suggestions on what else I could do? This is really frightening to me. My friend graduated 6 months ago in business and he is working at the mall for 6.50 an hour.
