Here's what I have to choose from: nice slacks in black and brown; a flouncy girly black top with tiny white beads all over it; a slim-fitting black skirt with a crepe tank-style hawaiian print top that I like to put with it; a red leisure suit that everyone says I look fabulous in but I mainly wear it for Christmas time though for certain job interviews it might work. Mainly I have either styles that are really conservative or a bit on the casual, fun side. I would appreciate any guidance here. I really want this job.

I'm a recently made, single mom with three kids all under school age, and I really want and need a job, but by the time I pay daycare for three kids, I would more than likely not even make enough of a profit for it to be worth it to start with. Does any single moms out there work from home, or have any info or ideas on working from home?? Thanks,

What does the job entail? Is legal experience necessary? I have worked in office settings, but not specifically in the legal field. I did generate legal documents for use in real estate transactions previously at a Title Company. Would this experience be transferable/helpful?

I am applying for a job as a Transaction Coordinator/Office Assistant at a well-known real estate company. By their description of the job, it seems my skills fit their needs, but I am not completely sure of what a Transaction Coordinator does? Also, I am curious - they state that the pay is depending on experience, and so I am wondering how much I can expect to make if hired. I have never worked in Real Estate, but have worked as a Secretary at a Law Office and have over 5 years of office/secretary-related experience. What do you think my chances are of getting hired and how can I improve my chances? Also, I currently live out of the area of where the job opening is, so I would be commuting almost 45 miles. Do you think they will look at that and just throw my resume away assuming I live too far away? If i get the job, I will relocate closer to the job, but not until July when my lease expires. Do employers typically look at where you live as a huge issue? Any answers for me?

Ty for reading my question. First let me give you some background information about me, my husband and our family. Husband: *Enlisted Active Duty for 16 years *Re-enlisting for his last 4 years at the end of the month *Bachelors Degree Exercise Science *PT Coordinator for his command. *Dreams of having a business after he retires. Me: *VERY proud military spouse for 10 years * Associates Degree Culinary Arts *Bachelors Degree Exercise Science, *Bachelors Degree Dietetics (Human Nutrition), *Registered Dietitian *Completing 3rd Bachelors Degree Business & Marketing. *Dream of starting a business after my spouse retires. Child # 1 *Son *Special Needs (Very Mild Autism) *Age 7 1/2 *First Born-Biological child *Requires Therapy 4 days a week (ABA, SPEECH & OT) *In the Gifted Program at school *Doing really well Child # 2 *Son *No special needs *Age 6 1/2 *Adopted 1 year ago-foster care *In Gifted Program at school *Doing really well Child # 3 *Son *No special needs *Age 5 1/2 *Adopted 1 year ago-foster care *Bio sibling of Child # 2 *In Gifted Program at school *Doing very well Child # 4 *Daughter *Currently 21 weeks & on very strict bed rest *Miracle baby. Doctor said I couldn't have anymore bio children *Last pregnancy & last child. I'm done! Now that you know my family dynamics, I need to explain why I'm asking my question. Over the last couple of years I've inherited a lot of money & real estate from both sides of my family (Great-Grandparents). All of the property is currently leased or rented out. It's been our dream for years to have a health related business. Me and my husband talk about starting a consulting business after he retires. We want our children to have more then what we had growing up. We were raised by hard working single mothers. Our commitment to our marriage and to our children will always come first. It is the most important thing in our lives. We are a Chrisitan family. One of the houses that I own is an a very upper middle class neighborhood that is surrounded by affluence and influence. I've checked out the education system, and it's one of the best in the nation. There is a strong economic influence, and it keeps getting better. The house is located closer to my mother than to my husband's family. My husband's family is not happy about us retiring closer to my mom. They want us to move back to his little town, and live there with no prospects of flourishing. My husband has told them that we are going to do what is best for OUR family IE: Me & our children. This makes them very resentful. There is so much potential for our business idea to do very well. My mil and husband's sister are very important to my husband. He loves them very much, but they don't seem to understand that this is what is best for OUR family. They may like living his hometown, but he does not. His hometown is rural, has very few jobs, and it's in the state of Ohio. Neither one of us like the cold or snow. We have the chance to move to a place that we can do very well. My mom & grandmother will be coming to join us once my mother retires from her civil service job. We've offered to move his mom and sister from Ohio to where we plan to retire to, and buy a really small house for them to live in. All they would have to pay for would be the property taxes & utilities. But they still continue to whine & argue about how unfair we're being to them. Honestly I'm at my wits end with my in-laws. Now that you know the story, what would you choose to do? We've made the offer, and they've refused. I need some advice on this please. Oh they have said they want money from me, because I am 'rich' now. We don't financially support either of my in-laws. I'm in the process of deciding what to do with my inheritance & property. We're not giving to their demands. We are moving to TX, and they can either stay in OH or move to TX on their own dime.

I have been an agent for 6 years and recently had a son. I want to work mainly from home and was wondering what it would take for me to become a transaction coordinator. I would simply do all transactions for agents in my current office. What all do you exactly do? Since I have only done the agent side I am not sure where the line in met or crossed??? Do I simply do just most of the paperwork/phone calls, desk job duties or do I need to meet with the clients and show up for inspections, etc???? If you could please give me a list of your duties I would SO MUCH appreciate it. Also, if you get paid per transaction, how does that work with taxes and such?? Thank you!

I am looking to get my 2 year Associate in Science degree in paralegal studies. However, I was wondering what other opportunities might there be if I had an A.S. degree in Paralegal studies, but I ended up deciding not to become a paralegal - what else could I do with that degree? For example - English majors can do anything from teaching, research and writing, business communications, etc. So English majors have a lot of job opportunities when they graduate, what about a degree in paralegal studies...either an AS or BS - doesn't matter...BS would be ideal of course. Or would I HAVE to stick to being a paralegal because that's exactly the schooling I am going for - whereas majoring in English opens many doors because they have a range of knowledge. I hope I was clear. Thank you
