AnswerThis business of job offers in Nigeria are all fake. I receive 2 -3 offers like that in a week. All of them have the same statements about the job, but carry different addresses and company names. all of them claim to have accessed my CV from times-job website. All of them carry unbelievably high salaries and perks. All of them end up in my junk mail folder as they are all sent to multiple recipients. They are just targetting Indian professionals who are in high demand these days as they come cheaper than Europeans. Job Seekers beware, they are going to ask you to send some small amount of money to their visa processing agency at different times and will disappear from the face of the earth when they have collected enough money from you. I received a mail just now from Texaco Consulatncy Nigeria, for a job in Ghana. The company website URL mentioned yields no result and from my knowledge, I know that Texaco is an oil exploration company and does not run a consultancy. Such offers also come to me from North England as well. This is just because I have chosen England as a preferred job locations in many jobsites. All such job search operations are monitored by hackers and they know exactly what bait each individual will bite.

These are just similar to gaming lottery prize notifications that arrive regularly.

What is Amazon.com?

Amazon.com is a global website where thousands of merchants sell products through Amazon.com, Amazon Marketplace, and their many subsidiary businesses. In addition, there are sister sites in Canada, China, France, Germany, Japan, and the UK.

They also offer the following:

- Commission opportunities through the Associates program

- Authors can self-publish through them

- Businesses can advertise on the site

- Merchants can sell products on the site and have Amazon manage the fulfillment by sending them the inventory to ship to the customer

Amazon.com is a full online retail store center. It allows anyone to buy or sell books, movies, clothes, toys, etc. The website consists of virtually more products than in probably any Walmart Retail Stores. You can search for any product and instantly you will find out who is selling it and how much it costs. Not only that but Amazon has the best prices in the market on many items. I have used Amazon for many years now and I have never had any problems with it. It is practically the same thing as eBay accept you don't bid, and they are all new products, unless you click "buy used".
It's an ecommerce site for sellers as well as Amazon co

Is Amazon.com a model for the future of retailing?

No.

E-commerce was invented by Benjamin Franklin in 1744, but they called it Mail Order back then. The only difference between Franklin's catalog (which sold books) and Amazon is Amazon is done by computers and Franklin used mailed letters.

I remember when e-commerce first got big. All I heard was, "this is going to kill stores. No one will go to stores. No one will go to the mall. They'll just sit at home and order stuff." Wrong. Shopping is a social activity; there is a massive difference between sitting at home clicking around and going to the mall with your friends to have a cappucino, get your nails done and look at cute clothes. Or, in the case of guys, to go to the tool department at Sears and the humidor at the cigar store.

Amazon and the other e-merchants have a place. It's good for comparing a LOT of items in a really short time. You can get stuff online that's unavailable in the local area. But the "future" of retailing? No.

Who is the owner of Goodwill Industries?

The "owner" of Goodwill Industries is the community itself. They are a non-profit organization founded by a Methodist minister in 1902 for the purpose of helping the under privledged by employing them. The idea of a handup instead of a handout started with the Goodwill movement and today spans the globe.

Goodwill's are autonomously ran by either a Presiden/CEO or Executive Director, and their Board which is comprised of members of the local community. Each individual Goodwill has a specified territory dictated by Goodwill Industries International and it is from this region that their Board consists of. Each local Goodwill was founded by members of the community and each President/CEO and their executive staff serve the organization.

Recently, murmurs of public trading are surfacing, however Goodwill continues to be a not-for-profit or nonprofit organization. Though Goodwill receives donations and pays for nothing in its inventory, the prices on their goods run similarly to those at other retail chains, such as Walmart, Ross Dress for Less, Target and others. The items receive some care before placement on the shelf, but the use is evident unlike new items sold with other retailers. Some bargains can be found at Goodwill, but with the new online enterprise, most of the donated goods received that draw a larger dollar sales value are sold "at auction" which may drive the sales of used goods higher than those found at retailers. "Let the buyer beware" does apply when shopping at Goodwill. An alternative to shopping online or in store at Goodwill would be Craigslist.com.
