Government & Non-Profit

My husband and I run a charity event once a year, over the course of a 3 day weekend. This year we would like to accept credit card payments at the door. After looking into the merchant accounts available, we cannot justify paying all the fees for only 3 days of use out of the year. Does any one know of a simple way for a charity group to accept credit cards short term?

Sent a resume to a nation-wide non profit. Received an email request for a phone interview about two days later. Spoke with the head of HR who ended the interview by saying she was going to contact the hiring manager THAT DAY to schedule an in person interview. Meanwhile, I sent a thank you letter to the head of HR.

The hiring manager emails me that same day to ask for an in person interview. Two days later I went to the interview and was told I'd hear whether or not I got the job this week. I then went home and sent the hiring manager a thank you letter.

What can I do to land this job? Should I send a follow up/"remember me" letter? If so what should I say in it?
Should I reiterate my skills and interest in the job YET AGAIN like I did in both thank you letters? Most places don't like it when you call.

Any and all advice but especially from those in hiring positions would be appreciated.

I work at the Humane Society in my town, and we have 4 major events to raise funds aside from doing the mail appeals. Two of the four events are much more profitable, and A LOT more work of course.
If you have idea's that you believe would make a excellent fundraiser. PLEASE share them. I am looking to "step-up" the current rut we are in and bring more people together and raise some money to expand our shelter.

Thanks

Are these jobs legitimate? All they give is a 1800 number but they say they're government jobs. Is this for real or is it fake?

I told everyone that my boss gave me a very good annual worker's report. After that I wonder if I should have said it out.

My boss said I stole a something and told me to sign my time sheet and leave for the day. Usually the employees turn in their own time sheet, however he said he would turn in the time sheet for me.

However my Boss is not allowed to turn in my time sheet via a contract both of us singed when I got hired and I never gave him consent to turn in on my behalf.

He said he would report me, but I have yet to hear anything, however I have grounds to report him. What should I do?

I am a rising senior in college and I am interested in working with a corporation's philanthropy or community development sector. Most corporations have foundations to support their community interests/giving but they don't provide information about how to become employed with these foundations. No information is listed in their career/jobs section either (most results are the popular finance/engineering jobs). Furthermore, philanthropy/non-profit job search websites don't return results for major companies. Can someone tell me how I can get my foot in the door for this industry?

I am going to be hired as a substitute teacher, but I must pay for fingerprinting. This has been done 3 times before for different jobs. Is there anyway to avoid paying $60 for another fingerprint check?

Why would a national Non Profit job ask who financed your education?
There is no opportunity for continuing education at the job. Meaning the organization will not pay for anyone to go back to school

Im 16 years old and attending Continental Academy. I left the 8th grade in feb. 07 to attend their home schooling program. I looked questions up about the school in the answers section and found out that people where getting denied jobs and into schools, but other people where getting better jobs and into schools. I've been thinking about this for the past week. I'm afraid to back to school because that means I wont finish until I'm 21 and I'll have to go back to middle school and be 17 in the 8th grade. The only reason I didn't really look into the school was because my cousin attended it and now she is in a community college. The only thing is she left public schools in the 11th grade. Does anybody have any information that will help me out. I really would appreciate it. I live in Norfolk, Virginia if anyone needs to look into any information.
