Business & Finance - 19 July 2007

I am interviewing with a manufacturing company next week. The company manufactures central a/c units. I have about 3 years experience in finance and costing and a Finance Degree from Texas. Personally I do not know that I qualify for the position but they asked to interview me. I am not an accountant, as a metter of fact I only have 12 hours of accounting. I do not want to waste their time, however I feel that if I get my foot inthe door the sky will be the limit b/c I will do everything in my power to exceed all of their expectations. How can I relay that mentality without sounding like I am begging for something that I may not be ready for right at this very moment? How can I sell myself for this position? What can I do in the next week and half to prepare for the questions that they may ask? What kind of questions can I expect? What skills in particular will make me standout and be chosen for this position? Thanks.

Hello,

I applied to an apartment 4 weeks ago with a $20 credit check fee and $80 fee to reserve the apartment. If I was accepted they would put the $80 towards the $500 security deposite(that is the amount the app. that I signed says). I was denied and they said I could get the apartment if I could either get a co-signer or a $2400 security deposite. Well I couldnt do either and we went are own ways. The lady there called and said she would mail me the check for $80 back (2 weeks ago). Yesterday I called to see where my check was and they said that since I was accepted but with stipulations that they got to keep my $80 and that I just couldnt accept there offer. Now I have to take it up with there corporate office and they are the ones that broke the contract. It clearly states that the $80 will go towards a $500 secutiry deposite not a $2400. If I dont get my money back I will take them to small claims court. Please let me know what you think.


PS. I live in WI

we have HSBC for a morgage company and when we had to replace our roof for 20,000 we fell into finacial hardship.we are not behind but they have turned us down to qualify for any help. They are awful to work with and we had to put the house up for sale but the value is less than what we owe. forclosure is a strong possibility. I think they will fight us to the end they have already turned down our hardship letter. I also took a lower paying job for health reasons. What can we do about a company who is only out for money?

I'm in the process of purchasing a foreclosure house for a flip. I just found out that it's in a flood zone. I know I have to get flood insurance. I was wondering if it scares people from bidding/buying since it's in a flood zone. Any thoughts???

I'm Japanese who's been living abroad for more than 12 years. I've been proposed by my bf I met in UK last week, and though I'm happy, I'm very worried by how he works as a contract worker.
In my country, contract workers recieve the same or less amount than full time workers, hoping to become one themselves. I heard contract workers in UK earn more, but is 450 daily usual, or low? Is it enough to have kids and have familly in future?
I don't know anything about earning in UK, and if I'll move, I have to find a job myself but I'm doubting I can get a job that will cover the rents...
Also I'm worried about the class system in UK. He is definately in the working class, where I think I'm in middle...from what I'm guessing from the lifestyle differences.
I know I love him, I'm just worried about the future realisticly.

I work in a telesales environment selling an online credit checking system. I have all the closes under the sun for creating urgency in getting the buyer to buy NOW with discounts, but is there any way to get a YES now with out the cliche line of "i have to think about it" ?
Everything is explained to the buyer perfectly, so they don't need to think about any thing as we do it all for them, but is there a winning line that works to get them onboard today? rather than letting it go "cold" if they have to have a few days to think about it - no discounts.

I have been renting this town home for 24 months and leaving. Are there any California laws regarding deposit refund. I was told by a friend that if I have stayed for 18 months or longer (which is true in my case), the land lord can't charge cleaning fees or painting fees. Is that true? Are there any laws that protect the tenant in California. BTW, I have kept the rental unit town home very clean. It might just need a carpet clean in my opinion.

My son's friend had a retirement plan at work, (a SEP, I think) and left his job. The AG Edwards broker's assistant called and told him he had to take the money if he wasn't going to add to it anymore. The kid didn't know his options and got a check, minus 20% withholding and another 10% for the early withdraw penalty. He then endorsed the checks and put them into his regular IRA as a rollover. I know the rollover isn't taxable, but what about the 30% that was sent to the IRS? American Funds said it's too late to get it back from them. Please help. Thanks.

I own a home with my father - who is in huge financial debt. I am fearful that he will default on the mtg and in turn that will effect my credit. I currently own a condo and my mtg has a high interest rate due to the ownership of the first home. What are my best options to get myself out of this situation. He wants to refinance to pay off his debt - but I believe he will be unable to do. I just want to save my credit before its too late.
