Would you be interested? -

Hello friends,I just would like to ask all of you guys if you would be interested in recruiting a Chinese native speaker to the States.I mean, I have a very good Chinese friend (he is living in China now) and he d like to find a job here in the States.I know how hard and difficult is to find a job now, but even though I m trying this way to help him. Maybe any of you is needing a capable, young and reliable native male Chinese speaking worker, so I can strongly recommend him to you.In case your company or your friend s Company is in need of him, just contact me ASAP and I ll give you more details about this guy.And of course, I don t pretend to charge any fees from this, ok?Wish all you guys have a nice day. Best regards,

It would be helpful if you mentioned your friend s field of experience, or maybe if he s just starting his work life. But in general I believe a company must look for people in the US to fill any given role before they bring someone in from another country. For example, a company might need some kind of technical expert who speaks Chinese (your friend) in order to work with their big Chinese client, and they can t find (or attract) people with the skills and the language. So they sponsor a work visa for him, meaning the US allows him to move here for that specific job. If he gets laid off later, he has a limited time to find another work sponsorship or he must return to China.If your friend lacks any kind of experience he might still look for jobs dealing with customer service or translation or maybe even teaching Chinese. But as another responder said, especially in tough times there are lots of Chinese-Americans speaking both languages natively to fill most of those jobs.

That is his skill? He can speak?!There are LOTS of Chinese Americans who can also speak who are on unemployment right now. American jobs should go to Americans.

Better check the immigration laws friend. Hiring a person from another country is not as easy as you may think w/o breaking a bunch of rules in the process...

How do i start a cleaning business? -

It s just for extra money, because my full time job doesn t pay enough. Is it gonna be worth it?

I clean small offices after hours. Even doing one a night could net you several hundred dollars extra a month. And, the start up isn t very much. I have more information, tips and resources for you on my Squidoo lens-the link is in my Profile.

You need to advertise but with a full time job then that would be a lot of work if you have the energy and the time then start looking. Ask your boss when you are due for a rise.

Can you sell other brands on your own website without wholesale? -

Ok so I have a website where I sell things that are my own brand... but I was wondering if you can take an item from say a big brand like for example Forever21, Edhardy , Nyx cosmetics ect. and sell them on your site as long as their authentic and you dont repersent them as your brand but as what they are if you dont have a wholesale deal with that company you just buy it from other stores and re sale?

You are OK, just represent accurately what you are selling

Why do people get True Value and Ace Hardware mixed up? -

I work at an Ace Hardware and people always come in thinking it s a True Value store. I was just wondering what the connection between the two is. Were the two stores at some point the same store? Or could it be that people get them mixed up because they are both small town hardware stores?

Both chains carry approximately the same goods for about the same prices. If I need some wood stain, I probably won t pick a store by which chain it belongs to, but rather by how close it is to my house (or wherever I m working). Most of your customers don t really care which chain your store belongs to, they only care about price and selection.I don t think that the two chains were one at some point. Usually chains merge, they don t split off.

Both chains have many similarities. They are both small town stores that are usually independently owned but part of a national franchise. Their logos are both mainly red. Ace and True value are the big hardware chains. Dont worry, i work at an idependent hardware store with no affilation, we buy from orgill and a few others, and people still confuse us with Ace and True Value.
