My brother has been a sales manager for a large retail chain, selling electronics and large appliances for 4 years. Prior to that he was a sales manager for Circuit City for 3 years. He has decided he is DONE with retail. He is looking for a job with better hours. He does not have a college degree and cannot get one with his current scedule, but is willing to go back to school if he can get his hours down to around 40 with consistant days off. He's very smart and has done a great job for his employer, the only problem is the hours. What kind of jobs are available for someone with lots of experience with technology, sales and management but with no degree to back it up. The pay has to be atleast 40K and that would be taking a 10 to 15K pay cut for him.] Can anyone make any suggestions for a career move? You obviosly didn't understand the question. I know what's next if he stays with his current employer, but he wants out of retail!

I am the Marketing Manager of a small franchise. The job position open is for door-to-door marketing, and requires a lot of communication with customers and potential clients regarding the services we offer. Over 99?f our customers speak English, thus our business is based in the English language. I am hiring a team of people, but have many people applying who I do not feel can competently do the job based on their knowledge of the language - they are ESL students at the university and are not fluent in English. Is it wrong for me to not hire these people based on the fact that they are not fluent in English?

I joined this company (sales and marketing department in a electronics factory) as Sales and Marketing department manager. Since this is my first job to be a department manager and I didn't study business management (I was major in liberal arts), I worked very hard. However, I don't know how I can make my staff respect me from their hearts and work their best in their job so that the whole department can show obvious improvement. Today, 2 staff had big argument in front of me and I yelled at both of them to stop arguing in public and if they want to argue, please go to a conference room. I think I made a bad judgement by yelling at them like that. Also, Do you think they do not respect me? Please help!
