who's phising for you and who is throwing you to the sharks

I found this post about monster.com and Careerbuilder very interesting. If you used either of these looking for work you might have ran into your fare share of scammy jobs. I Know I have.

this blogger (Tabatha Marshall) has decided to see if she can get to the bottom of why this is and what are these site doing to stop it.

college loan advice for recent college grads

Since many college students are facing graduation around this time I think it is prime time I share a bit advice that could be very important to you in the near future.

if you don't already have a job lined up you should not that you have only 2 months to contact any company that you might have taken a loan out from before you are considered default.

So contact them soon or you might not be able to defer you loan.

How do I know I waited much later then 2 months when I tried to defer my loan due to not being employed I was able to because I missed the two month grace period.

return of the loser

I haven't been on this blog for some time.

still trying to find a job. in fact I had an interview on money and just found out that I didn't get the job. I thought the interview really went well but I guess I was wrong.


sigh

I guess I should just be happy that I finally got an interview...I just don't know what i am doing wrong I send my resume out to as many places as i can but I hardly hear back from anyone.


In the last 5 or so months I have had some changes...I didn't post it but some time ago my car got toed away. it didn't work but it really bugs me sine I had just gotten the cash to get it fixed.



the good news was that I was able to pay off some of my college loans
