Business & Finance - 11 September 2007

I am pretty authorative ...I know I am. I have even noticed it. I can also be a little dictative. I am a leader, always have been. I am on a new job that I have been with for a couple of months. The job is actually a new company that needs some leadership..however, my boss seems figity around me sometimes or uptight almost like he feels uncomfortable around me and not at ease. I bring my ideas to him across the table and he goes along almost every time. I feel that I may be coming across as demanding or dictative like Im over him ...how do I act like a lady and remain an employee rather than being overbearing and pushy?

Just got a job and found out instead of w-2 they have us fill out 1099 forms....then they told us because of this, we will pay less taxes, instead of being taxed at about 30% of our pay which is about normal, we will be taxed at only about 15%, and at the end of the year there are numerous write offs and deductions....but when researching it, i noticed that a lot of people are actually paying more taxes using 1099 form (self employed) because they have to pay what the employer didnt....

if this is the case why did they tell us that u will be paying less taxes because the government is making money because of our sales so they give us a break??? are they lying or what

basically my question is this..in a month, someone who makes $3000 would normally get taxed around $750 using w2

how much would they get taxed using 1099?? thx

If I use a recruiter to find a 100k plus job for me, what do they charge me? I understand that they charge both the company that ends up employing me, and that they would take a fee from me too. Is it a % of the annual salary, or a flat fee, or what is most common?

I am 17 and I have an interview at a children's clothing store in a few days.
What type of questions will I be asked?
One time on an interview some asked me "If you could be any type of animal what would you be and why?"
I really didn't know what to answer.
I am really nervous that I will be asked a question that I don't know how to answer.
I am really nervous and I want this job.
What can I say to impress them?
Any advice?? Please help!!
Thanks!

I have been working in the hotel industry for 10 years & just recently stayed at a bed & breakfast. It was very charming, warm & inviting. I've decided that this is the career path that I'd rather pursue. I know that with hotels they're usually owned by big names and you apply for them, but how would I get a foot in the bed & breakfast business? Most are family owned. At this point I'd be willing to "intern" a couple of days a week just to get the experience on my resume.

Hello,

I been considering changing my career focus and perhaps go into Computers (IT). Tonight I was at the community college nearby and picked up some brochures but it does not go into detail. I only want to maybe get certified or maybe just get an AA degree in something in Computers. I was thinking about Networking. Keep in mind I am horrible at Math, but for these courses, there are no Math classes involved. So my question is, how difficult is Computer Networking as a Career and how good is the money? What kind of hours would I be working? Can I get a good job in this without a Bachelor's Degree?

My condo's HOA is full of rude and slow, lazy people. They do nothing much for a lof of fees. Our HOA fees are $206 dollars which is a lot for a complex of our size. I would like to know how I can get rid of them. Petitions? Etc? So then we( the residents ) can get a new company to run our HOA.

Has anyone ever done it??

I'm 28, and live at home because I studied English during undergrad - which wasn't for me. I want to start on a new career but I'm still not sure what I want to do. I used to want to study natural science such as physics but that doesnt seem realistic anymore although it's a nice fantasy. I'm considering urban planning or library science. I would like to speak to professionals to get an idea of what working in their fields is like. I don't feel comfortable approaching people, however, considering my age and lack of experience. I've just been doing research on careers on my own. Can anyone help me out?

I would like to sell my home and offer buyer's agents a 3.5% commission. In SC, I know I need a disclosure and a contract for sale.
What other papers would be needed to do the deal? it's a single family home. Also, if I advertise in the newspaper, can I stipulate that only those buyers who are prequalified for mortgages can tour the home.Is it legal to use that stipulation in an advertisement?
I simply do not have time for Lookie Lou's.

I started a new job 3 weeks ago. It pays very well but I think I was misled. At the interview I told them all about the applications I had written and at one point said "I LOVE DESIGNING DATABASES!" when they asked about it.

I know how to use almost all common software and program in all commonly used programming languages.

On my first day I was told I would not be doing any application programming, ever. I cannot describe how crushed I was. I was really hoping to move ahead in .NET programming and database design.

I never really thought of myself as an artist but I have also been doing medical and scientific illustration all along and it appears that this is what they were interested in.

Should I find something else right away or suffer through the requisite year or more?
