What do you put on your application if you been fired? The company I worked for had zero tolerance policy. I was missing around with my friend him and I always playing around. I picked him up and he put his feet in the trash compactor. Then jumped out smiled at me. I was working and threw a long wooden board at me. It hurt so bad I went to tell the manager. Then HR called him in suspended him then fired him. They did the samething to me. He didn't get hurt I did. I was upset. Right now I'm filling out application left and right. I keep getting that part whats the reason for leaving. What do I put in there? In the interview do they ask the same question? I been with the company for 7 years the new company that took over have been firing people without written warnings.

Hello everyone,
Well, I'm about to turn 16 and I've decided I'd like to start working. I need a good job, but I don't want it having to do with flipping burgers or frying fries or anything like that. Also, I don't want to work at like Wal-Mart or some other shopping market franchise. I'd like to work possibly at the mall, or even be a caddie at a local golf course if at all possible. Or even work at the local hospital. Do you think I'll be able to land these types of jobs living in TX?
Also, do I need a work permit? If so, where do I go and get one?

Thanks,
Jalapeno10
P.S.- If you have some other job ideas, I'd love to hear them.

My mother is going to apply for disbility social security at the age of 60. She retired last year due to illness(heart problems/diabetes) and receives city retirement of 1500/month. Will this affect the amount of social security that she can receive? In other words, if she can qualify for 2000.00/month, will SS lower this amount due to her receiving retirement from her City of Houston job? Thanks for any information~~

I decided to check out my credit report via annualcreditreport.com because I haven't checked my report out in a couple of years. I took a look at Experian and saw "AT T"(I'm assuming it's AT&T) sent a $200 fee to collections in July, The only problem is that I've never had an account with AT&T. I then see that under my information there is an address and phone number listed that isn't mine.

I look up my name with the zip code from the report on www.whitepages.com and find someone with my exact name, including middle initial, living about 3 miles from the mystery address listed on my report, it isn't the exact same phone number or address though.

I disputed the phone number but when I tried to dispute the address online it wouldn't allow me. Should I call up the collection agency at all? Should I just send in the required paper work disputing the address, phone number, and collection item and hope that they fix it? It seems like someone just mixed up our names, but who knows

If a boss oe employer refuses you a job as you have dreadlocks or coloured hair or a goth, of have tattoss etc.


You and mates hold them down, tattoo their face so they have goth like features or a tattoo. Shave their head and superglue or stitch into their head things like plantic neon green hair extentions


Ie if they have a problem with your coloured hair or tattooos or alternative looks in general...


Why it it not allowed for you to turn them so they look alternative and then they get saked for not looking right and refused a job and see how they like it.


Similar principle to turning a a white racsit back for a while and sticking him someahere away from friends



Whilst at it.

If bosses sack you or otherwise attack your work place relationship why cant you break up their family or marriage.

Or if they exploit sweat shop labour.

Kidnap them take them to a sweat shop where can speak the language and see how they like it.

And their kids too

I have to move by the third ( tomorrow) Our landlord sold the house we have to move. We were only given ten days to move and I have alot of kids with me. I also have to border 2 dogs somewhere that I can trust for 2 months. We are working only enough to move on and a house. We have all the stuff for both dogs already but don't have the money for one of those kennels. Plus we need to find a house in an area close to my husband work here in Joplin, Missouri. So if anyone knows of a house between 3 to 4 or 5 bedrooms in a $600 to $800 range let me know.

people keep naggin me to get a better education, so I can be payed really good and live nicely. but I'm fine with small money. I love to live humble. so about the food. I always buy a bag of apples for 2€ and its a lot of apples. another thing is that I'm a vegeterian and I dont even eat a lot. I run and exercise quite a lot but I dont need to eat tons of food like other people. even after a hard working day. its been like this for years. and a garden provides quite a lot of food.

next thing is I dont even want a car. nothing. I can walk or take a bike. things arent far if you live in the city. so even my future kids can walk to school. but when I go somewhere, I take a train and that happens every two weeks. so I really dont spend that much money on transportation.

internet is cheap, I mean whats 20€ and I get everything? all the fun with games and movies and chating with my friends. I dont even use the phone and TV. and computers dont spend so much electricity.

I just got my credit report and I saw so many different credit checks that I didn't authorize ...mostly car dealerships and mortgage companies...I'm wondering if this is normal and if not, what can I do? I heard every time your credit is checked, it ruins your score....
I'm really worried, what should I do?

We have saved up a lot of money in hopes of buying a house out of foreclosure (with cash). If we did this we would save $750/month and have a yard for our dogs. It will cost 2k to make the house livable.

If we didn't buy the house, I could pay off 3k in credit cards.. take all of my dogs to the vet (they're almost due).. take a vacation to Egypt.. and most of all.. I need a car!! I have been car less for 6 months. I also need to see an optometrist soon for more contacts.

What would you do?
