Looking for a job so i apply for Sainsburys. Hand in my application form Sunday afternoon and got a call for an interview Monday morning (this was two weeks ago). Had my interview and it went well. Got a letter saying that there was no suitable possition. Well why bother interviewing me as i put down that i can do any jobs and when i can work. What a bloody piss take. Why is it so hard to get a Saturday job these days. I have literally applied every where and get no reply. All the dumb arses in my school can seem to get a job yet at an interview you would immediatley dismiss them as they cant even string a sentence together. I just need a job to save up for uni. Actually waste my money on something that will benefit me but no. Every where has a personal vendetta against me. I'm thinking it was because i was over qualified as i told them my grades (A's and A*'s). They didnt even give me a reason for not wanting me. What a waste of f*cking time.

what reason or reason would an employer not take out federal taxes in payroll? Does the number of dependents matter? The reason why I ask is because my hubby's employer hasnt taken fed taxes out in like a month, where they have before...? what is going on with this? Is this their way of trying to screw us in the end?

A girlfriend of mine has been looking for a job for about 9 months. She has been frustrated a lot, because she has a college degree and lots of work experience in her field. Recently, she became employed. She confessed to me that when she filled out the application, and was given a supplemental form that asked about her race - she lied. She now feels that may have been THE reason why she was hired. She now feels that because she previously marked herself as white/caucasian, that she wasn't hired. Now, she's claiming to be hispanic.

She's worried now that she could be fired for lying. Is she at risk to be fired? I know I've filled out similar forms, but never thought of lying. She's so freaked out, she keeps thinking of quitting before she's "found out".

I'm self-employed, so I don't know what would happen if her lie was discovered. Any thoughts?

Is there a central website or number I can call to find out what debts I owe? I want to re-build my credit and I don't want these debts hanging over my head any longer.

Bank of England Bailing out another bank, BOYS Looking after the BOYS I think. If Northern Rock can't look after it's own purse, then they should sink just like any family is forced to do when they cant afford to look after their mortgage repayments, they are told not to overspend, tighten their pursestrings, go without, & even after doing that, & they still can't afford to pay their mortgage, the BANKS take their HOME away from them leaving them high & dry, families with children, because of the general cost of living, not because they are ripping families off with high interest rates, grabbing as much, & more money back than is fair, like Norther Rock & everyother bank on the high streets Now they even want to charge for every Direct Debit transaction, imagine how much that will rake in, without even having to work for it, instant charging per transaction, talking of 65p at the moment, but give poor old joe public a rise in their paypackets, NO WAY !

I was wondering if there are legal avenues to use to avoid having social security benefits stopped when selling or after selling a property. Another words can a retired married couple sell a business property without penalty or ceasing of benefits, etc?

I need a way to make some extra money & I figure I could do so by speeding up people's slow computers & making sure they have decent security.

I've come up with a list of things that I could do, but I'm looking for more suggestions.

Here's my list:

Optimization:
● Disable unnecessary startup apps & services
● Disable unnecessary visual effects
● Disable windows sounds
● Optimize TCP/IP settings
● Optimize paging file
● Optimize Prefetcher
● Reduce Recycle Bin & Sys Restore space usage
● Uninstall unnecessary/redundant apps
● Disable indexing
● Defrag hard drive
● Remove invalid registry entries and defrag it
● Scan hard drive for errors
● Remove junk data
● Scan for spyware

Security:
● Download latest software/hardware updates/drivers/etc.
● Configure automatic updates
● Configure firewall
● Install antivirus & antispyware
● Disable Windows Messenger
● Enable DEP

I think that covers it, but is there anything else I could include?

Also, how much should I charge?

Thanks.

Also, when a ibank/PE firm wants to takeover or buyout another company, does it first do so from debt or a bank loan or from sale of it's own bonds?

thanks, any info would be greatly appreciated

I just got hired at a restaurant today (Sept. 14). Me and my family are going to Jamaica on Oct. 7. My new job orientation in in a few days. Should I have told them today when they hired me or at the orientation. Would they have not hired me if I told them I needed this time off? Will this make me look bad in the eyes of my employer? Help!!!

Obvious the interest rate is unbelievable high. many of these people have bad credit and are forced to get a loan from these people. I checked for legitimate high interest loan but a conventional loan can not charge more than something like 30% a year. Is there any type of loan with more than 30% but less than loan shark rates that are legitimate and are in the US.

Which one do you think I should pursue?

Which one would be the best career choice? And, why?

Which one would I have the best chance to get a steady job in?

Thanks!

My parents taught me zero about finances..my credit was so bad cuz I wouldnt pay my bills on time, interest % was high etc etc. Im 23 now and have had my last credit card closed for maybe a year now and would like to start fresh to rebuild my credit history, my FICO score, etc. Where do I start? All these APR terms and all the competitors out there in the market...gives me a headache. If you can suggest anything- 1. a good credit card w/least fees, I guess most rewards like points? and 2. where I can get good info about the industry/personal finance w/o spending too much time, a resource I dont have.
THanks tons!
