How do you 'comment on your experience that would benefit you in the role you are applying for at our company'?

First, I'm assuming you know something about the company, if you don't, you need to do some research first! Secondly look at the employment ad. See how much of the job description applies to you and use that to write your answer. Stick to personal qualitites that apply to the job you're trying to get. For example, a housecleaning company probably doesn't care if you're great with computers but they WILL care if you have attention to detail and are trustworthy. If you want to be a firefighter, they're probably more interested in your physical strength, stamina and basic common sense than your customer service skills. Good luck! ~ T

What are high yield investment programs?

A High Yield Invest Program, also known as HYIP, is a "company" which offers you investments with very high returns. Most of the time it are websites.

They are very easy to recognize. By offering ridiculous high returns from 10-2000% of your investment daily they try to make you invest in them. They are practically always ponzi schemes, which means that they don't invest your money but they pay you with the money they get from other investors. After 1 to 12 months the HYIP closes and the owners run away with your money. If you are lucky you can get some profit out of it, but it is practically the same as gambling.

Although it is generally believed that all HYIP's are scams, that fact can also be discussed. About six months ago, a new HYIP has been launched which is potentially not a ponzi. They claim to invest in foreign exchange trading and seem to be doing that too.

Investing in an HYIP isn't illegal, but most countries have laws against promoting ponzi's which means you can't legally promote them.

When investing into an HYIP you always need to remember the golden rule: "Never invest more than you can afford to lose". Which of course is just the same as with gambling.

Are the Hormel brothers important to Minnesota?

Yes. George A. Hormel founded what was later known as Hormel Foods in Austin, Minnesota in 1891, along with his younger brother Benjamin; several years later, brothers Herman and John also joined the business. Their meat-packing company specialized in pork and beef products. By 1910, Hormel had branches all over the state, and soon they expanded to offices in other states. Hormel also used a delivery system where drivers in special "sausage trucks" brought the fresh meat directly to consumers and also to markets. In addition, the company was credited with creating the first "canned ham" in 1926; it too became very popular nationwide. The success of Hormel Foods meant that it could employ thousands of people and soon Minnesota was known all over the rest of the United States, because so many people saw their newspaper and magazine ads and purchased Hormel products. The Hormel family also became known for its donations to charitable organizations and to the University of Minnesota.

Problems of media conglomerate?

It allows for companies to have a great deal of power over what people are viewing. Conglomeration implies that one company (Disney) can be joint to a television broadcast (ABC), a movie network (Touchstone Pictures), a music company (Virgin), a distribution company (Walmart) and creates a concentration in wealth and optional media. Since there has been a deregulation in media laws in the early 1980s (loss of power for the FCC) it has allowed more companies to create conglomerates. The biggest issue is that media conglomerates focus on profit and treat their viewers as consumers rather than citizens.

What happen to procter and gambles gleem toothpaste?

they still make it....i am 42 years old and remember Gleem. It is harder to find but it caught my eye the other day when i was in a local grocery store. I would try smaller, local stores instead of the chains and you may get lucky. I live in Missouri but I don't know the availability coast to coast.




I'm 27-years-old and have tried a vast array of different toothpastes that are of minimal cost (such as $1) that seem to be comparable to top-price name brands. Believe it or not Gleem's formula is exactly the same as regular Crest; minus the blue coloring and sparkles. It was introduced in 1952 and marketed as a toothpaste for family and especially as a taste-good toothpaste kids would love. After Crest came out in 1955 by 1969 Gleem was becoming a thing of the past. They even tried adding fluoride to help salvage the declining brand but Crest had already captured the marketing effect. Any Dollar Tree location should carry it. I would also try a local, non-corporate drug store as they often can order things that chains cannot. The best part is it has the exact same amount of fluoride Crest has but an advantage is Gleem has NO SUGAR.
