i know i probably am but i'm having this argument with this guy who is really good at sports and i'm really good at everything academic. i am fully aware that nfl, nba, etc. players make millions. do you all know of any good rebuttles to the argument that athletes make more money that scientists or jobs like that? (even if i'm wrong lol anyway to make it seem that i'm right?)

My sis boyfriend bought a tractor trailer and is working driving (on road a couple wks, home a few days) She plans on going w/him in Jan. after she takes the test. Leaving 3 boys home 18, 17, 16. (I don't think that is a good idea) The boyfriend has promised to buy her a "large" piece of land w/a ranch and horses. Do you think he is just pulling her leg, or do they actually make that kind of money?

which help you secure work (permanent one w/ benefits) for a fee equating to a one month paycheck. One of my friends landed his first career job out of college that way, but he works in a different field and his agency doesn't specialize in any other areas. I belong to various staffing agencies which also do permanent placement but they have not been able to find me a full time job as of yet. Do you know of agencies in the NYC/Westchester County area which aggresively look for permanent jobs for applicants, but for a finder's fee? Can you list them? Thanks. I'm not overly eager to go this route, but my bills are piling up, and the sooner I can get working again, the better. I have both office support and paralegal experience.

The job, as a fundraiser for a major public univerisity, calls for a masters degree or a bachelors degree and two years of general experience. It has the same requirement for every non-faculty position, regardless of what department, so think it is blanket statment. Otherwise, I exceed all other qualifications and my experience is highly relavent, in that I currently serve in a similar role at a non-profit organization. However, it seems that they may be strict, but 3 months, considering it could take a long time to complete the hiring process? Any advice?

I have been at my job for a year & am having problems because I feel that my boss favors 2 of my co-workers and treats me and my other co-worker unfairly. from what I have seen and learned is that these two girls have been causing problems with all of the employees that have been in this dept at one point but things never seem to change or nothing is done because my boss does not address them but instead defends them and even covers up for them to her superior. From what I have seen my boss has a relationship with them more like that of a mother her reason is she sympathises with them for their loss of their mother, which is fine to be sympathetic but to give them special treatment or allow them to get away with things even to the point where they disrespect and yell at her is just not okay. It seems like she's afraid of them. I feel very helpless because I know that in the past others have tried addressing these issues even taking it to H.R & nothing has been done.. what can i do?

When Human Resources e-mails you that they will have a phone interview tomorrow in regards to your resume, what does that mean? Do they just want to further clarify my responsibilities or experiences? I appreciate your help. Thank you! =)

If a headhunter asks about my current salary, how shall I respond, esp. when I think that I am under paid and I am expecting double or triple my salary after taking a new job? Just assume that I am worth the double or triple. :)

I have been working on and off for over 20 years.
Companies I worked for went out of business, and I don't know what happened to people I use to work with.
Recent short jobs do not seem to be giving me good references.
I work as an administrative assistant/bookkeeper in the NYC area.

Although I'm certainly not at all "proficient" in any (yet), besides English, what are some examples of listing abilities in foreign languages on resumes?

I already tried googling this, and I actually had a hard time finding them.

Do you list the languages and write in parenthesis what the proficiency is? (Conversational, reading/writing proficient, working knowledge) How do you define working knowledge of a language anyway?
