I applied for a district management position for a Agriculture/Nursery company. They called me in for a interview, and they read my Resume beforehand. They knew I did not have a BA in Agri- business, and that I had only an AA in Agriculture and 2 CP's in Nursery Operations+Landscape matience.

Once I drive the 45 minutes to be interviewed I wait for over 30 minutes to be seen. The Lady takes to me her office, and the questions begin. She starts telling me i'm not qualified for the position because I do not have a BA in Agriculture or Business. Then pretty much suggests I could take a lower paying position that I was not interested in the least bit. She was quite rude, and I was really pissed off.

I tell her that I'm simply not interested, and furthermore I'm very upset that she even called me if she was not interested in considering me for that position.Let me make it clear that she knew my background before coming into her office. She called me personally and asked my background

It has been in the family for more than 100 years and they've decided to sell it now. If you're interested leave me a comment (an answer) for more information in prices, etc.

I have a family member with a bond fund. She is getting a 5.75% yield (monthly dividend / the value of her holdings for that month) yet she has watched the price of the fund drop from $9.69 (per share) to $9.31. She is concerned that she has reached a point where the investment won't recover (she is retired).
While the yield (monthly dividend) is good, the value of her holdings has dropped $3,000 (due to share price decrease). Since US interest rates aren't rising too my knowledge (Feds keep cutting their rates) why is the price decreasing? Should she bail? If not, why not (she is retired and has a low risk tolerance)

Thanks

I pay more property tax than my neighbors. I appealed twice. However, I was not success. I frequently receive letter from company claim they can help me to reduce my property tax. They only share 50% of first years tax whatever they saved for me. I am wondering should I believe them or not.

Gratefully,

I moved out of my apartment on 10/31 the day my 30 days was up and returned the keys, left a forwarding address and phone number and I still haven't gotten my deposit back! The apartment was spotless and I paid to have the carpet cleaned professionally. I know it's already rented out again because I called an old neighbor who told me so. I NEED that deposit back to pay my deposit on my new apartment. I am calling Monday to find out where it is, but my question is have they violated any laws? Can I report them to someone (it's a property management co.) and have them fined? I'm desperate and I don't want to sue them because I'm moving out of county but it's a $1500 deposit, so I will if I have to. Thanks.

I am applying for a mortgage and pay my rent on the 7th each month. I am not charged a late fee by complex. I have read that mortgage companies only consider rent late if it is more than 30 days. Is that true?

I just got my US Permanent Resident card - got myself 1 full-time job and 2 part-time jobs (as independent contractor). Will each of my employer withhold Federal & State tax? Will each of them withold Social Security & Medicare?

If yes, is there a chance that they might "over-withold"? And if so, will refunds be difficult? I am just starting out in the US and I have been searching website after website and could not find a simple website for one with limited financial understanding.

Help!! And thanks in advance to all!

University people think that all students who enter and graduate will be great and ready for great jobs. But its not the case speciallly for shy, reserved super quiet people. I managed to graduate but i never did talk. i'm not good at speaking and i've never had social skills .

So now 4 years after graduation i'm just with a temporary 12 dollar an hour job, . . . i may be smart but that means crap in america. Maybe in other countries you can get by with just smart but here...if you're not outgoing and cheerful you're nothing to companies.

im a shy quiet guy and i will not change.
But as evidenced by my current job, i do more work than many of these talkatives who just slack off and dont do work. isn't worrk ethic, rather than outgoing personality, more important?

Then the jobs that dont require outgoing personatliy, pay so little. how can you live?

Hello, i recently built a home on property that is not owned by me. it is a family lot and we did not do any paperwork before we started to declare that the home was mine even though the land it sits on is not mine. i see this as somehting like what a mobile home park is, you lease the land and own the manufatured home. my question, can anyone advise me of what i need to do for paperwork. is this like a 99 year lease? i heard that there is another term in california, something like right to occupy? i just need something so that i can refianance and deduct the interest. Thanks.

I am a boy and I am 13 years old in 8th grade. I really am trying to start buying stuff. The problem is, I am not allowed any help buying stuff. I pay for pretty much all my stuff. I really want a macbook laptop but do not have 1,000 dollars. I want a job that I am allowed to do for extra money. The thing is...is I live in an apartment and my town doesn't have paper boys. I want a job which I can make maybe 800 dollars in about half a year. I don't know any jobs I can though. If anyone has job ideas that would be great. also, if you say like babysitting or dog walking, tell me how to let people know about me. please be nice. thank you!

long story short there is a judgement against me and my parents. my parents never went to appeal it and i never even knew about it so the judge ordered in plaintiff's favor. now they levied my bank accounts, and there was a letter in the mail that in 10 days they can come and do a sherrif's sale on anything that we own(we are in new jersey). what do they do, do you have to have a warrant, can they just come when they please?

I am leaving my job at the end of December, thankfully, but I would like advice on how to deal with my boss until then. He is a nice enough guy, but very lonely, and tends to take any expression of politeness as a cue that the person denoting it wants to shag him. How do I continue being polite to him while making it clear that the only thoughts of shagging in my head are related to my boyfriend, and this after office hours.
