Any recommendations for a good headhunter or staffing agency? Or perhaps a directory where I can just fax a bunch of offices my resume?
I have a B.A. double major in math(applied) and economics along with a minor in computer science. I even graduated magna *** laude.
You’d think companies would want a background like that but the truth is that they want experience and it’s really hard to get a job unless you have connections. I’ve been applying for positions that I’m overqualified for, ones that I match all of the key requirements, and even some I’m underqualified for hoping that they’d be impressed with my academics. No luck yet =( Just generic rejection e-mails.
I’ve contacted GradStaff, which I thought was my best hope but It’s been 2 weeks since the phone interview and haven’t heard back from them.
If there are any niche agencies, I have part-time experience in real estate leasing and management. I have part-time experience in a manufacturing office as well doing a lot of invoicing, entering data into Excel, using accounting software, making reports in Excel using advanced functions and the analysis toolpack, some production scheduling, inventory, etc.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks =)

Hey all, I’ve got an ok starter kit and brain (ion drum rocker+roadie upgrade kit) and I’m not very happy with the DD-502 Hi-Hat Cymbal Pad plastic/rubbery feel…it really throws my rhythm off with the clack clack clacking and I’m looking to get something a bit more authentic. I’ve looked at Alesis Surge and Smarttrigger (one and the same now??) but i’m unsure. Any insight into this fairly niche area on what’s a good metal cymbal for electronic drums? I’d love to get something with a choke that is very responsive.

Hello everyone, I thank you in advance for helping me if you choose to. Just a warning, this is going to be very long so be prepared.
Ok well basically i am reading two mangas bit by bit by chapter release. They are Kaichou Wa Maid~ Sama and Skip Beat. I chose to read these because i was so captivated by the story and animation in the animes and needed to know more of the story, so i decided to read the manga.
Now, while i wait for the next chapters to be released, i wanted to find another good manga to read so I’m not all frantic and impatient. But i can’t find any good ones that meet my taste.
I am very particular in the animation. I don’t just want one that has a fantasy like drawing style that doesn’t seem to be able to put across human emotions just by the facial expressions. It needs to be fairly realistic, or as realistic as an animation can be anyway. If you have read KWMS and Skip Beat then you should know what my expectations are.
As for the storyline and genres, at the moment i would really appreciate good manga/s that are Drama, Comedy, Splice of life, Romance and shoujo all rolled into one. I don’t want the main objective in the story to be romance, nor do i want it to be the same mushy BS that are about some girl meeting a guy and falling in love… I want it do be deeper than that. I want the storyline to be strong, with the romance being just a factor that happens naturally along the way.
So basically if it starts with “Whateverhernameis was just a normal high school student when she met Somebastard and they fall in love and face troubles and blah blah derpa shnerp..” Then i will proceed to stab myself repeatedly in the eyes as to not be forced to continue reading. I don’t want to be told something is good and then find out it is completely the opposite of what i was asking for and be disappointed… This is the reason why i am in a crappy mood at the moment.
I don’t think that is likely that there are only a few good mangas that have strong story lines that have the ability to completely suck you in and have you really connect to what the characters are feeling and thinking just by the expressions in their faces or by their body language. There has to be something more than this completely fairytale mushy bull crap that i keep hearing is good but then it turns out to be trash worthy.
I’m not really into fantasy, ninja, princess, past time, futuristic or vampires. I don’t like action or bloody gore…
If you have some that fall into this category that you think i would like though then please suggest them…
These are the anime’s that i have watched so far…
KWMS ( <3 <3 <3 )
Skip Beat ( <3 <3 <3 )
Fruits Basket ( <3 )
Pretear (Very cute )
Tokyo Mew Mew ( NO)
D.N Angel (Ok)
Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni ( Amazing)
God! Save our king/ Kya Kara Maoh ( <3 <3 )
Itazura Na Kiss ( Cute)
Death Note (I loved it )
School days (The end i was just… 0.o WTF??? Worth watching!)
Myself, Yourself ( Weak, but good ending)
Moon Phase ( watched in english, enough said)
Ouran High School Host Club (This was hilarious… I would watch it again and again just for the comical value. The story is sweet too)
Karin ( Not too bad)
Kissxsis (I havent finished watching it because i was just so offended by how crude it was…)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya ( I liked this quite a lot, they dragged the second season on too much and it was quite annoying but the story line is very scifi and i liked it more than i thought i would)
Vampire Knight/Guilty ( I liked it, not to the point of reading the manga but it was ok… Poor Zero 🙁 )
Yamato Nadishiko Shichi Henge ( I liked the storyline but they guys had lips and it made me want to die… UGH!!! Just thinking about it makes me sick)
So basically i have found my niche which is the genres i have specified… The ages for the main characters don't really matter as long as it is mature… Not in the sense of being ecchi or anything but the attitude and stuff… But i don't want anything where they are under 16, 15 maybe but nothing younger than that….
So strong storyline, dramatic splice of life with good comedy and a bit of romance. Please don't just search for these genres and copy and paste, i have done so and come up with nothing good other than KWMS and SB. Please, I want your honest opinions, Why you liked it and with a small summery with your own words… I chose to count on the opinions of fellow anime and manga fans because of our common interests and i think it will work better this way. 🙂
Thank you so much for listening to my crazy rantings and my complicated demands
^.^

I defaulted on approximately $100K worth of debt in 2006 which has obviously affected my credit score. I now have a very good job with $150K in household income. Additionally, I have $16K in cash as well as $36K in a 401K. I’m very stable – have been with my current employer for 5 years a mid level manager.
The poor credit will ‘fall off’ my credit report in three years. I have an opportunity to purchase the home I am leasing for approximately $200K.
Are there any legitimate lenders that will lend to someone with good income, employment and assets but a poor credit score? FHA will not consider me due to the outstanding ‘debt’ associated with the charged off accounts from 2006. Yes, I did attempt to file for bankruptcy, but got taken by an unethical attorney. I’m not interested in credit repair scams to allegedly ‘improve my score’.
I know there must be others in my position with everything except for the credit aspect. Therefore, I’m guessing there must be an alternative market to fill that niche.
Am I correct or am I way off base?

What would be the advantage and disadvantage? I’m thinking of going for a blog with two niches for branding my business and to decrease competition. What your opinions? Thank you.

Posted on 13 March 2011. Tags: aol, burial plots, church, columbaria, conditional use, Cremation, funeral directors, Good, Niches, northern illinois, permit, Place, profitable business, Start
We have land in Northern Illinois and are considering starting a cemetery. We’ve tried selling our land for the past two years and not gotten any offers. Our land is next to a cemetery and a church. The cemetery has burial plots, but not any places for created remains really except in the ground. The cemetery isn’t full, but it’s probably 80-90% full. So I was thinking if we got a conditional use permit to do a cemetery, that we could put in those columbaria’s where you put cremated remains. Does anyone know if doing that would be a profitable business? Does anyone know how those niches get sold? Would we contact funeral directors with the info about them and they would sell them for us for a percentage? Would any funeral directors be willing to talk to me about this? Please email me at tyblossom on aol. I’d really appreciate any thoughts or idea about this. We really need to find a way to make this land work for us. It’s 4 acres and we figure we could start slowly and expand. Also, I’m curious if anyone knows how we find out besides the conditional use permit, how we would figure out what license or registering we’d have to do and how you set something up so that for the life of a cemetery it would be taken care of and maintained. Thanks!!! I really need to talk to you if you know about this.
