I’ve been purchasing my shoes from Shoebuy.com for about 5 years now. It started when my husband found a pair of shoes at a specialty wide shoe store. He was born with club feet and wears orthotics in his shoes, so buying shoes that fit is not easy. But once he found the pair that worked best for him (at quite a high price I might add), I decided to try Shoebuy.com. I found the same pair of shoes in several colors at a dramatically reduced price. Read more…

But there is an additional dimension to which you need to pay attention: organization of your search. This falls into two categories: 1) finding job openings to apply to and 2) keeping track of your applications and interviews (which can be very important if you are collecting unemployment and they want you to verify your efforts).

Part 9: Getting away gracefully…giving notice at your old job
So, you have a brand new job! Congratulations! Now, how to resign from your old one…
You did negotiate a start date that allows you to give appropriate notice at your old job, right? Every place is different, but in America, two week’s notice is the norm…anything less could leave you with a bad reference, something you wish to avoid at all costs.
Friday is not always the best day to quit… Read more…

Part 8: You got the offer! Negotiating a good salary…
The phone rings and when you pick it up, it is the HR rep for the company you interviewed with on Tuesday…they want to make you an offer!!
LISTEN!
That’s the first thing you do…listen. Don’t interrupt, don’t ask questions, just listen to the offer. Let the person speak, make the obligatory “mmm hmmm” noises at the appropriate places so the speaker knows you are there and you are Read more…
Direct TV now offers you more choices, so why would you stay with your lousy cable company? I am switching to Direct Tv Satellite now that I have utilized the free quote option on their website, and seen just how much I could save by switching!!
The comparison just doesn’t come close to what I am getting for what I am paying now. And to top it off, my DVR doesn’t always work, my ondemand is always on the fritz, and when I call, I usually get a technician who just tells me Read more…
I just found out that because of inaccurate submissions on my credit report, that my credit rating is the pits! Had I known this before I tried to refinance, I would have tried used some credit repair information and had those inaccuracies fixed first.
Now, I am stuck with the label of being “a credit risk” and I have to find help with credit repair, so that I can get my credit report back up to snuff. I have tried calling the companies myself, Read more…

Part 6: Interviews: You look the part…now what do you say—and not say?
So, you’ve got your hair cut, your interview outfit chosen, and the date and time are set. What else do you have to do to prepare for that all-important interview?
Well, you are going to need to bring some paper work with you. If you do not have a nice portfolio, go to a stationer’s store and buy a plain, inexpensive one to carry your documents. You want to look neat and tidy, and carrying a bulky briefcase won’t Read more…
Part 5: Interviews: what they see means more than you think!
I am always amazed at people who go through all the work to secure a job interview, but put no effort into preparing for the interview itself…it’s kinda like making detailed preparations for a big wedding but making no preparation for the marriage itself!
Conventional wisdom says you should “wow” them…you should look like a page out of Vogue or GQ, you should look chic and dazzling and Read more…
Okay, so I told you about the computer virus that I got, right? Turns out, one of my Entrecard drops decided to give it to me, and it makes it difficult in the dropping department….
So drops from Here at Angels Weekly and from

Also, while this is ongoing, I hope I will be able to continue to post the articles, but if I go down, bear with me, I am trying my best!! :) Read more…

In the years that I reviewed and prepared résumés for people, the most common format brought to my office was what is known as the “chron” or “chronological” résumé. This basically has your name and contact information stacked at the top of the page beneath the word “resume” then shows your education history in chronological order followed by your employment history, also in chronological order and with a paragraph or more about each job. Some if these Read more…

Then reality starts to kick in. Doctor visits become a little less joyous and a little more scary as nurses and doctors start giving you the details of your now “high risk pregnancy,” especially if you’re over 35 and pregnant with twins. You can’t help wonder how in the world you’re going to care for two babies at once; and now a day doesn’t go by that you don’t think about Read more…

“The Bible commands us to forgive others when they have wronged us and to seek forgiveness when we have wronged others. We must do this to follow the example of God, who extends to us the ultimate pardon– forgiveness of our sins.”
Can any sin be forgiven? We think that there must be some sin too great to be forgiven.
“Any anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”…. Joel 2:32
“Forgiveness is not based on the magnitude of the sin, but the magnitude of the forgiver’s love. No sin is Read more…
