I understand that a percentage of fees paid to Internet providers may be tax deductable when using the net to SEARCH for a new job. Does anyone know how to deduct this type of job search expense correctly?

The company I work for offers referral bonuses - if I were to recommend a somebody as a candidate, and that person gets hired and remains for at least 3 months - I would be paid a referral bonus.

Here's my thought - I would post a "help wanted" ad online - probably Craigslist - and screen resumes...if I get a good one or two I would submit them to the HR dept. here, and tell the candidate to see that we are friends.

If that person gets hired - voila! - referral bonus for me...

Any legal issues with this??

I am working with a temp agency to find employement. One of the recruiters called for a meeting tomorrow and I wanted to know if its inappropriate to to where a business shirt and slacks or should i still continue to wear a suit. I feel that its really not an interview and will still be in the casual range. Any suggestions as to if i should go business suit or business casual.

What's the best way to go about setting up a wire transfer. I just sold something and paypal payments can be reversed, so I would like to receive the money via wire transfer because its transactions are final and can't be reversed.

I tried googling but to no avail.

What's the step by step on how to? I bank with extraco.

I have a boss in my office, we are the only two here and I don't feel comfortable for one thing because it's a male/female situation, but he wears his slacks so tight you can see and outline of everything you want to know nothing about. How do I tell him his pants are too tight? (Note: he is a really big hot head with a huge ego and if I hurt his ego he will through a temper. He's more moody than a woman with the worst PMS ever!)

My new husband and I took over a house from a friend of ours.
We are in the process of putting in our name. He bought it in 2005. He didn't pay any taxes on it, so we have to pay them. So we're looking at a total of $6000 back taxes. And we also had to pay 3 months morgatge totaling $4000. I must admit the house is nice, but needs updating and tlc. we also have not so good credit. My friend doesn't want any money or anything to do with the house, he wants to sign it over to us, and we could sell it and keep the money or stay there forever he doesn't care.

I have this job because it's the only one I can get-most jobs require 16 years old and I'm not turning 16 until September. I reeeaally don't like it (I'm doing try-out hours right now), but my mom says I should do it just to earn some dough for the summer. But, my summer is pretty miserable right now!! I know I'm definitely gonna quit this job once I turn 16, which the boss won't like. What should I do?!

The application you have submitted has been accepted for the following position: Sr. Support Services. Since the position does not require examination, you are eligible to be placed on the register for the position indicated on your application. You will remain on the register for one year........

Do you think this means, I didn't make the cut this time but am added to the list for consideration in the future or that I may be getting a call for an interview?
