Ideas please! I sell a skincare/cosmetics brand already, and love it, but would like to sell another item that is not similar. I was thinking about pampered chef? I am good with sales and enjoy it, so working hard won't be an issue. I would also like to hear about things that didn't work or were a scam. Please be polite!

After my performance review, it was decided that I should get a promotion so that my title more accurately reflects my job. Unfortunately, my company refuses to give me a raise to go with the added responsibility. My boss suggested that, if they wont give me more money, I should quit.

I don't love this job and it pays badly, but it is close to home, I'm good at it, and the benefits are outstanding. (Free tuition for my children to one of 14 colleges??) I don't have any othe job leads, and without my Master's degree, I'm limited somewhat (professionally).

Advice?

When you apply for a position online (online application), and they ask you in for an interview, does that mean that they have already done the background/credit check? I hope so. I'm worried about my credit.

I was recently doing work for a client who is a photographer and who has done work for playboy and several fashion magazines. While I was round his house, discussing types of paint, he looked at me for a while and then said that I have a resemblance to Gisele, he actually said hat I have the same eyes and bone structure as her with a ‘’unique cuteness’’ lol and asked if I had every considered modelling, I had done some modelling when I was younger but that was six year ago just after I left school I hadn’t ever considered it since then because of my age now and just because I decided on a different career. I do know that he probably was just flirting but it got me thinking whether or not I could go back to it. So does anyone know what measurements they require (I think it’s 24 waist and 32 hips) and what else they loo for face wise and age?

Right now I am working for a company which i am in front of the computer most of the day. I sometimes dont even have anything to do. I figured that this would be a perfect oppurtunity to make some extra money online (while i am at work, since i have plenty of time on my hands). I know that there is alot of free sites out there that you can make money off of, but i have some strict criteria that I am looking for:
1. I do not want to have to give any personal information except for what they need to write my check.
2. Once i am on the free site, I do not want to take any surveys or things i have to try for free (a $1.00 or $2.00) by giving a credit card number. I want to strictly take the survey on the product, or questions, ect and NOT give any credit card information, just my answers.

I know alot of you out there do this, so your personal experience will help me fiqure out the right site(s).Do not answer this if you are employed by the site or own a site.

Workplace policy is to not eat at your desk but everybody does it. I was specifically sent an email that said "I am not allowed to eat at my desk. People were complaining."
However I see it and smell it everyday from others that are doing it. I was singled out by my manager who does not like me for not good reason. Mabye coz I am skinnier, or taller. Who knows.
We are not a union. Is this discrimination?

I am temping, the company I went to asked to hire me in full time. I've been here about a month. This job pays about 10,000 less a year than I normally earn but I took it because I was unemployed and something is better than nothing.

I had no intention of staying here because it's below my earning ability and skill ability. I decided to stay after they told me they'd hire me in and raise my pay. If I take this job they want to give me $2000 less a year than what I was asking and they want to move me up in the company.

The big problem is that I would be taking the job of the person who trained me and who I like best at the company-it's a small place, about 10 people. She would be getting a demotion, because they want to move her to my current position and give me her position.

The big problems I see is the pay, I would hate taking less, although my boss told me he sees me moving up rapidly through the company. I also feel funny about bouncing someone out of thier job.

My "dream job" crossed my path a few months ago. I applied, was asked to fill out a form, and had 2 interviews. After the 2nd interview they told me I would have a decision in mid-December, I also was informed that the 2nd person I interviewed with was going on vacation then too. I FINALLY heard back last Saturday (12/30) and was told that she forwarded her hiring recommendations to HR and wanted to make sure I was still interested. I guess I'm a little stressed it's all taken so long, but it sounds positive to me. She said if I didn't hear back by next monday or tuesday (1/8-1/9) to call her back...What does HR do with all of this at this point?!?

I have been told by one of my professors that a cover letter is not necessary. But if they ask for one give them one. What is the best way to write a cover letter? I do not exactly have great writing skills. Should I stay strictly business or should I put a little humor and arrogance in it?

Ive been thinking... I am an average student I guess you could say, I do my homework and i try hard on projects HOWEVER I am not like actually intelligent, if you know what i mean. The reason I am on the honour roll is because of me applying myself not because my brain works well. This is a weird question I know but, will I have a chance of getting into university? even though sometimes I dont get all the answers?
