Do you think Jamooka Wheathina Jones is a pretty name for my baby daughter?
Please reconsider! That isn't a name, it is a brand. Your child will be tormented mercilessly. It is hard to grow up with an unusual name...I know. My name is not unusual in Germany (where I was born) but is unique here. You would not believe the abuse I withstood from my peers when I was young, not to mention that it made me the target of bullies. And believe me, my name is not as bizarre as what you are suggesting for your child. If you love your child to be, do not make her a target of ridicule or a target of bullies. In today's society, children and teens are very cruel. They are merciless with those that are different in any way and that name will put a target on your child. Growing up is hard enough without having more attention drawn to her..particularly negative attention. Sad to say, I do not see the youth becoming kinder or gentler in the years to come. Please reconsider.
I have $11.00 dollars to my name & I need at least $400 by Sunday. What can I do?
All these answers so far are horrible & I can tell that they are all answered by men, why is it so hard for them to follow simple directions? Just list ways they can possibly make money by Sunday if you don't know any ways then don't answer!!! Asking friends/family is a good idea, especially if you will let them know that you have every intention of paying them back, maybe even with interest. I think going to apply for the hostessing position is a great idea because even if you don't start right away it is something that you can have in the future, something that will help prevent you from being in the position again. The difficult thing here is that you don't have much money to do much traveling around & you still need that money to eat with. How about reaching out to those who maybe owe you money & having them send it though paypal or google wallet? That's a quick way & you don't have to worry about leaving your house or where ever you may be. Donating plasma is a very good idea, you may not get much, maybe $30 but it is something towards the $400 You need to think, think, think! You like living in NYC & you really want to be there so you need to utilize every thing you can! Anything & I mean anything is possible in NYC. Try looking for peer to peer lenders, stay away from payday loans! Try looking on craigslist for same day pay jobs. Filling out surveys online, again it isn't much but it is a step towards where you want to be. Webcam modeling(Hey, it's legal!!) If I think of anymore things I will comment back, until then best of luck! :-)
Do I have a good shot at being a hooter's girl?
Sorry I am not a Hooters girl, but I have worked in the restaurant business for close to 2 decades. I have done a ton of hiring and I have worked some corporate - including Buffalo Wild Wings, which is a close competitor to Hooters. I just want to give you a few tips since you were nervous. GM's are very very busy (If they are doing their job right), they are forgetful, and they will blow you off. You should have tried to get him to give you an interview date and time. When he says "I will call you with an interview date I would say something like, "Wow, I am really excited about the opportunity to work here, I am free all next week - did you have a day in mind?" Don't let him off the hook to forget about you and let him know you are excited about the job possibility. I would go back in, in the next couple of days and have a bite to eat with a friend. Do it during the slow time of the day (not during lunch/dinner rush) (go between 2pm and 4pm). Do not get drunk!!!! If he remembers you, and comes over, then you might have another opportunity. If he asks something like, "What brings you here?" let him know, "I thought it would be a good idea to look over the menu and try a couple of things to familiarize myself!" remind him you really want the job. Even if he doesn't approach you - he may have noticed you. A little wave "hi" never hurts. Call back or come in after a week. If he hasn't called you call him, or find out when he will be in. This is especially important if you decided not to go back in and eat. "Hey, I know you have been busy - I hope inventory went well, I know how time consuming it can be. I just wanted to know if you can schedule a time we can sit down and do an interview?" Don't call close to opening time (He is likely doing his pre open meeting or check list) and don't call when it is busy. Like I mentioned above - call to find out when he is there and if he is unavailable, or busy, come in and talk to him face to face when he is not. It sounds like he was at least a little interested or he would have just said "We aren't hiring right now, but we are accepting applications." (By law they have to give you an application or it could be considered some form of discrimination). Just make sure you follow up,
What is the best way to get a job in Singapore?
These days people trust your LinkedIn profile more than your resume. But there is one other way much preferred than Linkeidn introduction.Let me drop a brief…I have worked with a number of bosses here in Singapore and had been asked to be an introducer always.Bosses here still prefer words of mouth recommendation.So to answer your question, the best way to get to these bosses and referred by people like me is to Network.Step out of your comfort zone and start attending events, courses, group meetings like meetups and many more.This widen your perspective as well as your networks. Thus increasing chance to become hired.
Possibly moving to Boulder, Colorado. What is it like?
First of all, Boulder is a really beautiful city. It's situated right beneath the Flat Irons (foothills of the Rocky Mountains) and is home to the University of Colorado at Boulder (which has a pretty cool campus). In comparison to the rest of Colorado, Boulder is probably the most liberal city and is infamous for all the hippies that went there in the 60's. It is a very progressive and health conscious city with residents who value and pursue very active lifestyles (fitting because Colorado gets A TON of sunshine every year so there's lots of time to be outside, Boulder is surrounded by incredible hiking trails, and the state in general is the most active in the country). Colorado has a GREAT music scene and 3OH!3 hails directly from Boulder. I have never lived in there, but have friends from there and they absolutely love it. Most teenagers in Colorado drive places because things are pretty spread out. I've never been to Washington, so I can't help you there, but hopefully this gives you a pretty good idea.
Is it normal to hate your hometown so much you can't stand it?
I was born and raised in Indialantic. This place is opportunistically bankrupt, or just a total shithole if you don't like euphemisms. We moved to this NC town (I can't say the name because Internet). When we arrived here, I instantly hated this place. I have tried and tried to make a life for myself here, but I've fallen into despair because I feel like my life can't begin while I'm here. This town has no potential to exploit and no opportunities. I've tried and tried to make friends but people blow me off here. I say hi and people just tell me to f myself. Everyone here marries at 19 or you're an outcast if you don't. I have a degree in Biology and speak multiple languages but all I can get here are crappy jobs and I struggle to get those. I was raised Baptist but for some reason we started going to an Episcopalian church when we came here. No one ever reached out to us, and when we just stopped going (after being members for years) no one noticed/gave a ****. I'm sick of not being important, and I hate my life. I'm sick of being reminded that I don't matter, and I'm not getting anywhere in life. Am I selfish, a ***** and a brat to want more from my life? I am turning into a bitter old woman: "I didn't go to college so I could be broke, single and sit at home playing video games on Friday night." Every time we go on a trip, I literally cry on the way "home." I studied abroad in Mexico, and became depressed when I came back here.
