Question: what excactly does a sales rental agent do? its a position at this rental car place close to my apartment that i really wanna apply for the problem is i called and two people had two different answers. the first one says its just a fancy title but i'm really gonna wash cars and greet people and the other one says its doing clerical work but mainly standing behind the counter and make reservation for people who wanted to rent a car. i mean what kind company that its own workers don't know what a sales rental agent do??? or is they were just playing with me.. i think i should report them to the their manager. i got their names and i would recognize their voice...but i really don't care much for that all i want is to get a job. thank you in advance!!!

Answer: Sounds like you would be doing a variety of things...Meeting people who have made reservations and giving them their cars, taking new reservations, getting cars ready for rental. You would probably appreciate the variety. It's boring doing the same thing all day, every day. Also, it's good experience for your resume as you will gain customer service experience, clerical experience, etc. If you don't like it, you can always quit. Good luck!

Question: Is there any requirement for a UK based, overseas property buying agent? I am involved in an organisation called Onpulse Property (http://www.onpulseproperty.com ). Typically when purchasing a property overseas buyers purchase through a 'sales agent' whom ultimately represents the seller or developer, earning a sales commission from that seller. Onpulse are in the process of releasing a Buying Agency arm to our business. Essentially representing the buyer. Searching, viewing and negotiating on their behalf on their instruction. Mediating with lawyers, tax specialists, currency brokers and local authority; ensuring properties are of clean title and solid purchases. Onpulse meet the client int he UK, developing a profile of the property; then return with a shortlist before viewing on the buyers behalf or arranging a fluid trip to view all properties selected by the buyer on the short list. This route ensures your agent represents you. Ensures you get the best price, and allows you to purchase and negotiate anonymously. It critically presents opportunity and access to property not for sale on the open market. I am interested in any reservations or requirements such a service would present yourself. or any questions you would have of such overseas property buying agent.

Answer: don't really need an agent unless you cannot do the work yourself

REFERENCES: Will furnish up on request

Answer: Objective- it is okay, yet ordinary. Education- put the clinical hours of the two hospitals you were in and sorry to say this does not count as your professional experience at all because you are still a student so if something goes wrong, whoever is responsible for you gets the boot, eg: clinical instructor, tech so their licenses are on the line but you'll only get a slap in the wrist compared to them. if you have room, put the type of machines you were using. pUT the date when you begun the program and end the program in nm program and your sales program. Put "Eligible for the blah blah registry exam and when will you be able to take it" and also "Eligible for the State license if it is applicable to your state regulations." Licenses- fine. when you pass your registry and attain ur state license if applicable, put it here. Experience-unfortunately like I said clinical education does not count due to the reason I just said. do you have any at all that relates to your occupation like EMT, transporter, have you ever worked in a hospital or with people period. If anything, put the work experience, what you had before. DON'T PUT IT ALL BECAUSE YOU MUST MAKE YOUR RESUME TO A PAGE ONLY! One little note, DONT MAKE SENTENCES, MAKE FRAGMENTS WITH IMPORTANT VERBS THAT ARE UNDERSTANDABLE. It seems your work experience deal with different t ypes of peole so put it but remember A PAGE OF A RESUME. so leave things out if you have to. Either way you do have zero experience in the field like any graduate does in the nm program unless you worked in the health field before as a blah blah, then say that, eg: RN, RT(R), RTR, etc. Skills: where is it? do you speak any other language, are you good with computers? , are you competent with venipuncture? Here's this one you can use from me: Able to adapt to any environment when necessary. Advices: dont make sentences again, make good fragments with verbs that stand out. Use bulletins and make everything aligned. Good luck. by the way do any means necessary to find a job, intern, know people, network, know other modalities (MR, x ray, CT scan and get registered).

Answer: SCAM SCAM SCAM UK companies are not allowed to recruit non UK/EU workers without a lengthy interview and recruitment process. They have to prove that there are no suitably qualified applicants in the UK/EU and the company must be licensed by the Home Office to offer sponsorship. They therefore need no middlemen agencies to handle visa and documentation, nor do they charge the applicant any fees for obtaining visas, the sponsor company pays all charges direct to the Home Office. In the current UK job market, the likelihood of UK companies approaching non UK nationals to offer work here is very, very slim indeed. Another clue is that the wages on offer are considerably higher than current market rates. Why would a hotel offer higher than normal rates to workers outside the UK when there are thousands of catering staff in the UK who are unemployed and looking for work? This is the real telephone no if you want to doiuble check what I am telling you. 020 7344 9988 Any company using 070 telephone nos and free email providers (yahoo, hotmail etc) - SCAM Any company writing to you using poor English - SCAM Any company who contacts you without you contacting them - SCAM Any company the offers you a highly paid job in the UK/EU/US - SCAM Any company that directs you to a middleman for visa etc - SCAM Any company that asks for money via Western Union - SCAM Any company that asks you to pay for visa/work documents - SCAM Do not respond to them - you will be put on a 'mugs list' and your details sold to other criminals. Do not send them money - You will be helping to fund criminals and possibly terrorists. Do not send money via Western Union to anyone you don't know personally. No real company would ask you to transfer money in this way. It's untraceable and irretrievable. Do not give them any personal details - beware of identity theft or bank fraud. Your identity may also be used to commit further crimes against innocent people and this could cause you serious problems in the future. Please let as many friends and colleagues as you can know about this and ask them to also pass it on. Knowledge is the only way to stop these criminals

Answer: No, I'm sorry, this is not true. This email is a scam, and they will in the end ask for your personal details and use them to either set up false bank accounts in your name, or try to get money from you. Don't fall for it. You didn't apply for a job with them, did you? So why are they writing to you, how did they find you? Also, the phone number is a mobile number, not an actual business number. The email address provided is a yahoo.co.uk address, which a hotel chain would not use, they would use one that reflects the name of their hotel, e.g. job@comfortinn.co.uk.

Question: How can I find who's targeting me? First it was "No best answer", that stopped shortly after I deleted all my friends and contacts, now it's restarted. A few days ago I received an e-mail violation notice for soliciting. After stating my case with Yahoo my answer and points removed were restored. All I did was post a web site that would help the person answer his/her own question. Now I have received another violation notice for soliciting. I told the person who askes the question to check a company he/she had reservations about to check this company through the BBB and the Clark Howard Show. I again explained to Yahoo again that I can't figure out how supplying these web sites could be soliciting, neither site has anything for sale. I understand that there are several Travel Agents posting their web sites trying to drum up business. To me that is soliciting. There has to be a way to find this person. Anybody have an idea?

Answer: No. There is no way - from your end. The reporting system is anonymous to users. However, Yahoo can help you out: "There have been some concerns from other community members who feel that this may be occuring, however, we are reviewing each abuse report to ensure that the removal is accurate. If they feel that it was unjust and would like to appeal they can either email answers-abuse@cc.yahoo-inc.com or use the appeal link to the right side of the page (http://messages.answers.yahoo.com/answer… ). If a person feels that they are being singled out they can also email us at y_answrs_team@yahoo.com to discuss it. We do have ways of checking to see if people are in anyway targeting or singling out another person and will take appropriate actions." - staff answer on the Y/A forum http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?pro… It will take some time for them to review the case and patience is necessary. You can also hide your Q&A in your profile if you think that you are being targeted. It may cut down on some of that: Click on your avatar on the far left corner of most Yahoo Answers pages OR click on the "My Profile" link on the far, upper right corner of the page. This takes you to your Y/A profile page. Click "Edit My Info" in the upper left box. Scroll down to the privacy section and check the options: - On my public profile, hide my Q&A from people not in my Answers Network - On my public profile, hide my Answers Network from people who are not in it Click the "Preview" button and then the "OK" button.
