AOL Jobs Sean reader asks:
What if I invite some of a group of employees - but not all - and someone finds out? How did you manage?
Oh, someone will know; You can bet money. Not to consider one of your guests the guest list carefully and talk about the part of someone who was not invited. And if check all their smartphones at the door (it's not a terrible idea, by the way) is to be the image Facebook or Instagram and someone's feelings will be hurt. Well, you know what? Boo hoo-hoo-Hoover. We're all adults, and it is quite difficult to accept work without worrying about the friendship with all the after hours. I think we all know that deep; accepts the mature person and despised you when it is time to plan your next meeting, simply.
Ah, but if you actually stand on the sidelines? Goofy! However, my advice is simple: Lie like a rug. "What we do not, I'm sure they will Darn computers were invited.". Or the old standby "Oh, I was not responsible for the application." If you are looking for a permanent solution? Only whisper - reaching a hand on his shoulder - "I have had to do with a bit of a bed bug infestation ...."

Life After College: Where do I start?
I'm 24 I'm a musician, a historian and a car enthusiast.
Oh, I forgot, I also have $ 132,452.96 debt student loans.
I graduated from Belmont University in 2012 with a degree in history and a minor in education. I worked very hard in school. I have good grades. I made the Dean's List. I presented at conferences, I saw on National Public Radio with all the Elite Belmont guitar, and was an active participant in the student body. I did all this while working part-time during the school year and full time during the summer. Load did not know how my education would.
I recently had a panelist at the conference entitled "Why hire Generation Y" It was from Colorado State University in my home town of Fort Collins, Colorado instead. I shared the panel with five other people my age. Simply the most famous student loan debt of all of us. In fact, I had, until the whole world together.
This was the trigger for this blog. It was clear that he was telling a story and my ideas just maybe was able to help someone.
My story begins with my decision to go to a private university of the state.
Belmont University was an exciting prospect for an aspiring musician of Option 18 years. In Nashville, Music City, USA, offered me a scholarship to Belmont to visit music as an important trade guitar. I took the opportunity, was the beginning of a great academic and personal adventure.
Cost is a factor early.
Only about $ 35,000, so that the decision to participate Belmont was a great one for a child from a family of the lower middle class. After talking with my parents to talk to people who are at school to discover that I could get a private student loan to cover the cost seemed possible. I took the plunge.
The university was an incredible moment in my life.
I quickly realized that the business is not a title guitar I wanted, but I felt in Belmont and Nashville well. I wanted to stay there. After taking into account a variety of other careers, I decided to study the history, because it was always the only problem is that my K-12 school made interesting. History seemed an obvious choice for me and I think a choice.
Enough about the College.
The bottom line is that I have an expensive piece of paper, a sign of adulthood, which meant I was told by a very young age that he would win the job market.
And the work I went.
In the most disappointing way I managed to get a job cooking in a hospital cafeteria a few months out of school. My plan, which is not yet completed, works in the hospital in the middle of a right career for my education and interests. That, for now, not on.
The hammer fell really dramatic at the time six months after graduation.
To still save at home with my parents for money, that has not changed, and work full time in a delicious selection of shifts (day, night, cemetery, doing splits get the picture), who found that the minimum monthly payments on my loan would be about $ 1470 I was shocked. I am still.
People, since I was a young student, I heard that college is expensive, but student loans have lower payments, to allow people to pay. Sure, in my case is not true, and I had a hard time dealing with it since ...
What advice would you give Kyle?
Scammers pretend your boss now online
Here's a scenario: an e-mail from your boss asks what you do a bank transfer is received. This is to cover for the payment of suppliers, say, or perhaps a lucrative investment. In any case, it is of utmost urgency and email will be marked as such.
But what if the person claiming to be your own boss, with what appears to be the e-mail from your boss, your boss is not? And if one of these cyber criminals was, until recently more likely to occur as a prince or die win lotto Nigeria?
That is exactly what the Federal Trade Commission warns against companies in a recent blog, the exposure of the fraud "Masquerade", the company defrauded thousands of dollars.
In the scam, often raises the attacker as a senior officer of the target company, an e-mail address that the reality is so close to the e-mail of the person as possible. Then ask an employee to be able to do a bank transfer to an account in the rule, a payment to a supplier or distribution of confidential business information to quote.
The couple will say "I do" - and I thank the sponsor?
"I thought, 'Why not link my two loves My soon-to-be husband Jamil and my love for marketing?" McKenzie today.
The two have created a website called SponsorOurWedding.com in the description of six different levels of sponsorship:
Of course, one has to wonder how the public will be for all of these possibilities. McKenzie and Newell explained that they probably will not be a sum of 30,000 social media followers, but most to fly for the wedding Thailand.Out-of-the-box sponsorship opportunities are designed to work with your company to us; Your logo on the wedding dress of the bride on their logo on the elephant ride after our ceremony. Our wedding sponsor sponsorship provides a channel to your corporate brand and your business as an active participant in our promotion of "marrying a thing." Let's take a percentage of the money raised for charity. Your participation is important to make our "wedding with a Cause" with success!
McKenzie described as "an award-winning entrepreneur and digital media consultant who works with Fortune 500 companies to create social media competitions and events." Newell is a "Southern Gentleman", the power lines for the live broadcast designs.
Until now a hotel in Thailand has agreed to start, while two other companies offer closet and ring. What covers only half of the total of $ 30,000 , according to Cosmopolitan. Your goal is, all expenses are covered by the donation of an unspecified percentage Charity.
You know how couples interested in a way to cover the cost when you consider that this can be, average wedding cost in the United States is $ 25,200 , according to the marriage relationship. But there are expensive celebrations such as "most couples spend less than $ 10,000."
McKenzie and Newell are not the first to arrive at the idea of a sponsored wedding. For example, Ben and Samantha Sherwin Moseley in United Kingdom Search companies in order to support their marriage , according to the Spiegel Online. Both sisters were under time pressure, Moseley moved to Australia, created the site of the wedding day 123 , where current sponsors listed. However, Sherwin Moseley and you would not have covered. You paid for the ring and the wedding dress, for example, and Moseley father is to give a honeymoon in Egypt. The couple said that the money saved will go to charity Save the Children.
The idea of a sponsored wedding is really over. In 2005, a few advertising spaces sold at the event to cover the cost, according to WeddingSponsorships.com which have connected claims that "local and national companies engaged couples for over 18 years."
Wait McKenzie Newell and stay together. Get sponsors for the divorce would probably be much more difficult it is.

10 reasons why women support other women in the labor
Bonnie low rummage
"There's a special place in hell for women, the other women do not do not be." - Madeleine Albright, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations
This famous quote from 2006, Madeleine Albright, the WNBA express what many women feel, and eight years later, still a nerve hits.
Our modern workplace is complex and change from millisecond. Input comes from all directions - the media is not only our managers and employees, but also virtual, colleagues, friends, family and social platforms proliferate endlessly. Against this background, someone really foolproof foolproof plan for success was guaranteed?
Of course I did not.
How to answer four questions from the interview, but difficult
From Robert Half
You already know the importance of preparing for a job interview. You research the company, practice interview questions and answers typical questions to prepare some of your own . But are you sure that you prepared answers that will stand with the hiring manager? Or give answers, the cost to work accidentally?
Even simple questions such as "Can you tell me a little about yourself?" He can throw the most qualified candidates. We can also offer the opportunity to shine and make a strong impression on the interviewer.
Here are some common interview questions and advice on how to respond to each of them:
There's no crying in the office
A few months ago I had a conversation with a friend who works in the nonprofit industry. She told me that her boss not only allowed in the meetings who mourn actually encouraged. I spit my drink almost, when I heard this story, because it was the most ridiculous thing I heard behavior.
There is a time and a place to grieve and often, the economic environment is not the place.
That does not mean I do not have to cry at work. I am all the people after and have feelings that can sometimes be overwhelming; However, when I get the feeling the torque to the surface, I apologize immediately is the state nearest bathroom and mourn like a baby. In my eyes this is the only acceptable way to grieve at work.
To mourn the cause and work was recently revealed when the actress Maggie Gyllenhaal confessed "to have a little cry" when the reality of their role in facing "the honorable woman."
Believe me, I understand the desire to mourn in an intense moment or a personal event that happened in your life. I spent some time in the bathroom stall, when I discovered that my first baby aborted. Then it was time that I made a mistake that has cost nearly a million customers and their work. Or, if I do not agree with my boss and I did not want to see me grieve.
However, when the tears start to fall into a group that causes a distraction that are not good for anyone.
In my opinion, may be because I spent 14 years in finance, and all signs of weakness is unacceptable. I think, however, that the practice not to grieve in a group is one that must be carried out in all working environments.
When we work for a company that we are paid to do our jobs to the best of their ability and to find after our job descriptions, customers, teammates internal support or new ways to grow the company and to earn money, so that we continue to play a role in the team. They are not compensated for the creation is distractions that lead to reduced productivity in these areas.
Some may read and think, I'm always hard.
, But I think a company's employees, many tasks to our suppliers to pay, and we need an environment to create conducive to the achievement of these tasks.
If someone starts in the office outside the walls of the bathroom, some people want to help, to mourn, to distract them from work, and some people want to try to distract gossip also work. Not to mention the follow-up discussions, the mention made after the event for weeks.
Apart from colleagues distracted to be productive, do not know many people who come and enjoy a leader or colleagues cry. Yes, I want to be a boss, compassion and sympathy to show, I do not want to see them in a moment of weakness, and to mourn in public shows a weakness for me.
I also want to see my colleagues in their prime, so I know I can count on them.
For better or worse, the tears in the office wonder about his abilities, and when I say a woman, you can imagine what the guys say that the audience crying.
Most festivals tears come from a personal place, so we have to do in our time, and not to interfere with our colleagues.
Every time I gave myself a festival of screaming, I am after usually organized a happy hour to carefully evacuate my questions with the right group of people and work in the right environment.
This is the time and place of the mourners, surrounded by friends with a cocktail in hand. However, if you have good friends like me, you spend probably laugh and let what is bothering you.

In other words, if you are addicted to caffeine and during the day, not your doses, you actually lower your normal level of productivity.

3 secrets of my success: Give a story to tell
Otherwise we would not be very successful. We would not be competitive.
The key is that "something", and then realize marketing and use it to the best of their abilities. I took very quickly when I started my cleaning business what my pros and outputs were, and I'm proud of myself today.
1 mi company name
The. Cleaning. Diva. This is the first. The name of my company, and my logo. This is the first impression that people in my business. That's what people are drawn immediately. Or not. I can not tell you how many times people have commented on the name of my company to you. I've heard "Cleanliness Deeeeva ... I love that name." Or "Your logo is so sweet."
And I is the boss. It is my truck in the rear window, is there in our uniforms, caps, sweatshirts, mugs, lunch bags, T-shirts and water bottles. Logo clothing is a great way to promote your business. I was in a shop in a city of Jersey Shore after a day of work shopping, wearing my uniform, and a woman to read my shirt aloud and told him that she loved him. As for her boyfriend, she said: "We need to get this shirt." Then she asked me where i can. I laughed and told him it was the name of my company. But hey, I would be happy to have him to wear the logo of my advertising Diva cleaning. Your company name, you are representing and represented. Make it good.
2 Relations
My second, and more importantly, "something" is relationships. I like to build, and really enjoy with all my clients. In fact, many have become friends. Relations have always been and will be the basis for his cleaning La Diva . I take care of people to clean their houses and also worried about their homes. I want to be happy.
It is important to take the time to meet people. Ask questions. Find out their likes and dislikes. Learn more about them so you can connect and have meaningful conversations. It confirms you and your company. Especially at a time to overcome as a SMS, and social networking-verbal communication. They have strong relationships with my clients that keeps them as my clients. He has confidence and promotes the recommendations.
3 products
Another way I my car apart, my careful cleaning - my product, if you will. I mean when I say I think we are the best at what we do. We pay attention to details. So much so that I sometimes call my Divas Eagle Eye. Lol.
I'm always on the lookout for web comments and handprints on the doors, and I refuse to go on the carpet after being sucked - or do I have to empty back to my fingerprints. Call me crazy. I high standards and always go the extra mile for the customer's needs are met and cleaning we do is as perfect as you can get.
All devices are waxed, left no crumbs or a piece of hair behind her, recovers beds and sofa cushions, cleaned pet bowls, mirrors, without a trace left, and the house smells fresh and clean. Custom requests are always revised second.
I also like to clean. If you do not like what you do, how can you expect your customers? Whatever your product or service, be sure to check the best you can give. And do it with a smile. :-)
There are various cleaning services in my area, but I still have dedicated a day program. Currently I published very little, and most of my new customers and potential customers are invited to me by existing. My prices are not cheap, so I know it's my reputation and large utility Diva.
Now that says something.

Ask Jack: Strip Club, Voices of the baby, and the employment of the week
AOL Jobs Chey-player, one-way ticket in hand, said:
I'm looking beyond the Las Vegas and I was offered a job dancing at a strip club. I believe this dance - and everyone else - as art. When I took this job, I even I break down?
First, prepare a sweater because it in the desert in the night cold - especially when clothing is removed. I totally agree that the whole dance can be an art form. So I think that if we, the supposed "Strip" of people outside, the attitude and the environment. Looks like the right attitude: to improve approach to working with dignity and enthusiasm, and to try. But the environment is something that you have to play it by ear. Would you be proud and excited at the club? His colleagues would support? And above all, customers treat you with respect? But this attitude again, you may have to ask for respect.
Sure, you can relatives who are on this race to the bottom, but who cares and friends? They think they are all perfect and innocent? Give me a break. Just be proud of who you are and what you and your friends and family will fall in line - even if it a little time. And that, my friend, is the naked truth.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, sit down on a word of "Anxious in Australia":
I have a colleague who shares the same room as teachers and nine others. She is an intelligent and capable teachers. But ... First, make your phone calls are interesting for everyone, especially the leading Spanish. While these extra loud talk, to show that speaks a different language. We are the department of languages other than English; all speak languages other !! Even when it comes to someone to do you a favor, or if you find a little more time, feel it, we are talking cuddly baby one vote. She is a woman of 37 years. It's stupid that I leave the room before you hit me out. I tried to approach it as an adult, said: "I will help you, but only if you stop this ridiculous baby voice" She blushed, pause ... and then again the next day .. need help before the end of the attack with a lethal pencil.
Dear Worried: Have you considered switching to decaf? Seriously, I feel your pain. We had all these colleagues absolutely blitz our nerves, and we were with them, trapped like an animal Melomys feet (rodent Australia).
In terms of volume, it is possible, noise canceling headphones, with more and more in common work areas together . Now, about the baby voice, I've got an idea that might work. Earlier this year I read a fascinating article by a professor in the Atlantic. noticed when she talks to talk about their students cheesy voice, and how they are ordered to appear in place of trust and authority. Share this article with your colleagues. Since you are in the school environment, seems a very valid topic of discussion for the staff room. If your colleague nemesis is as smart as you say, it can respond to this academic focus, to be informed that the trend carries into adulthood. Just be sure and insisted that "even noticed by his colleagues." If this plan fails, please write again. I've always wanted to answer a question about the details of prison labor!

The Truth Behind Shark Week
It does not matter. All are more or less the same story in general: three boys in the early days of the CCT, sitting around a bar, drinking and the exchange of ideas and strategies for the next train the network at a time still was not a household name and basic cable. Someone yells "Shark Week!" or someone asks, "Would not it be a good idea if his ...." and the rest is television history.
How has
Guess what is reported is true, so far as it goes. But that's not the whole story. I know because I was there first "Shark Week" has increased - the meeting of non-executive reflection in office before the "meeting" of the leader at the head.
I know because it was my idea.
As usual, the reality is much more interesting - and ironic - the legend. And believe me, it was not a stroke of genius. It was 1988, I was a 20-something idealist Gung ho, who recently joined the programming department on the Discovery Channel, which was founded in the days of low rent Landover, Maryland, according to the DC line, in an ugly large building black office building in the near the "Darth Vader" penultimate station on the Orange Line of the subway, a network technology type skyscraper before (now at ESPN) Bob Liguori justly famous.
I was hired by and work for my former university TA Radio, Television and Film department now defunct Maryland, Steve Cheskin, and my old RTVF beloved teacher, the late Mike du Monceau. Discovered in the early days was the deep ocean with former Terrapin, so I knew that a lot of people out there - Mark Kozaki, Danny Rex recka Salerno, etc Any intelligent, well, Steve and Mike.
He had spent the last two years of high school English in the Deep South, for reasons not worth here, but Steve and I had kept in touch. I was almost grateful that he during my last years of college, hire me to subscriptions for sale Storer have cable TV door-to-door in suburban Maryland DC: I ended up enough money to pay for school and subsequent support almost a year traveling in Europe and Africa.
So Steve had to begin a favor, and turned, as he reached for my second year of teaching in Hinesville, Georgia., If I put a bullet in the head to see if I was with him in discovery . It was not a difficult decision. Graduation came and went.
But the Discovery Channel in 1988 was a little hard to understand one foot in American homes. He investors such as the BBC, but I do not think he had broken the 50% penetration, and the notes had reached a plateau. At that time there was not a specific channel or regular; Discovery documentary showed a tonne of emissions based - some sarcastic jokes in the office called "The F # cking Animals Channel" - actually populist programs like "American Chopper" and "Naked & Alone" and were now on. In my opinion the discovery of a National Geographic TV would be (real NatGeo channel will not launch in the United States for almost 15 years), be a noble task, and I was able to reach the ground floor.
Fantasy and reality
So if Steve crunched department planning a brainstorming session at the office, literally, one of my first days of the discovery, I was in for a rude awakening. The people were desperate, but there was a sense of urgency in the air. The transport network will increase over the cable operators - remember before the massive consolidation of media companies, back in the early days, there were many other cable systems and fewer channels (" 57 channels and nothin 'On " was the action of Springsteen as the end of 1992) - Notes and the increases were essential to the fisheries in a manner to favorites more systems would most area TV reruns. provided a great opportunity for the discovery of a crack in the homes of viewers who had access.
I was young, naive and dismayed. I thought I took a television channel that wanted to change the world for the better, but I was in a room full of people who did one thing and only one thing in mind: notes.
Spitballed ideas discussed Gadgets, waterfalls made progress, but the budget was limited. Discovery must inventory the network programming take already bought, of course, can not afford to create something new.
Finally, to justify that I realized disgusted that I is surrounded by the Philistines, sarcastic, something like:. "Look, we know that most animals more notes, and if they kill you, is the best Why So not only shark air shows throughout the summer? "
Again: It's not a stroke of genius. In fact, also be understood as a serious idea. I was only a joke dark sarcastic comments, which I thought was the search for the common denominator lowest price. You know: television.
But the room was silent for a moment. "It's actually not a bad idea, actually," said someone, or something similar. There was a discussion about it, I was amazed that people actually take seriously, then all went on. He had faith, but it was not a "Eureka!" Times. Later that night, as the founder of the discovery and CEO John Hendricks belongs. Then suddenly there was a struggle for shark programming.
If I remember correctly, the first Shark Week has not even fill enough original programming to a whole week, and some of the shows were times in prime time. It was to take a battle for a limited marketing strategy, because everything had to turn to a matter of weeks. I had zero credit, Steve and Mike Cheskin du Monceau and another man named Clark Bunting, who were at the meeting in the open air with John Hendricks, have the honor, but it was not simply the glory first. Only if the ratings again, almost double the usual number of discovery, made people really excited about Shark Week.
Loyal Soldier
I stay mostly kept his mouth shut, because I was young and loyal and I felt that I had my work Steve - twice! - So I bought the whole company bull t we all on the same team are looking everybody'll for all, blah blah blah. But if Shark Week II prepared in 1989, I went to find and count John Hendricks, who was actually my idea, which I had with her in the meeting before the meeting (I omitted the part that just sarcastic out of my way was), and asked if he knew. I knew he did not do it, but I thought it was the best way to put them. He looked surprised and said no, but that was the end.
Ultimately, Steve and I had a fight that had nothing to do with the Discovery Shark Week and I leave after a few years. In the quarter century later, I watched in amazement as funny Shark Week has become a part of the conversation and the spirit of the American era, to tell the truth to the family, friends and colleagues, but never actually found in paper. I really had no resentment against anyone, it was not so, I would make money from it, and I did not like the potential party or piss Worse s lead 'when I applied. I reach out to another person a few years ago in the meeting via e-mail brainstorming was the guarantor for my story, but because many of the old crew of Discovery featured Also, I will not put in the place.
So why now?
Basically, I asked the right person at the right time. Laurie Petersen, AOL Jobs editor, is a lifelong friend, and she asked me if I write something about Shark Week.
But still probably would have apologized if it were not for the Comic-Con., A few weeks It was a panel dedicated writer Bill Finger , co-creator of Batman. Finger was a quiet man who modestly not like conflict and shaved the box with artist Bob Kane and DC Comics. He went to his death are unknown, and it has to recognize a movement in recent years to the major contribution to the Dark Knight.
In a recent New York Times story that have examined the status of the fingers and other creators of comics, a piece of the action to their heroes turned into billion-dollar franchise, see the guardians of the Marvel Comics co-creator Keith did not get Galaxy Giffen said the Times, advises his granddaughter ", a creator not be. know the operator. become rich., you never will." Well, Shark Week, which was even less than that. What to do with me?
These are the two main events. But in the end, more than anything, I just wanted to everyone to tell the truth, because there is much more interesting than the legend. "Shark Week" is not a good creative idea is a cynical joke of a young man who was his first real taste idealistic, what happens when good intentions are made the cold, hard facts Financial. And it is not the fish story.
Economic activities, the benefits for women
From recent studies, available data, the BLS found that older women with employment between 25 and 64 years had a content of 38% of the time in 2012 In 2013, more than half of all associates, bachelors, masters and PhD cattle women.

At this point, the widespread legalization of marijuana now seems more of a "when" rather than "if". Personal beliefs aside, the numbers do not lie. The debates may be, whether caused the decrease in traffic accidents in Colorado is enough to offset the slump pot DUI arrests in legalized states. However, there is no debate when it comes to facts and figures; Americans like marijuana.
In 2014, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime report counts the United States in the third world for marijuana. 14.8% of Americans use marijuana, the land behind Zambia (17.7%) and Iceland (18.3%) of consumption. In 2013, estimated sales of marijuana of America, amounts to about 1.5 million. This number is not a novelty. In fact, it is expected that the projection in 2014 almost doubled to $ 2.6 billion.

If Great legalization continues to approach reality, we are probably not far from one version of marijuana seamlessly with most major cities.
The problem facing the provision of financial services is what overlooking the entire industry: the law. With each state variable and the federal government continues to be identified as a Schedule I drug, the investors are often wary, in a business that is not involved in the position to expand beyond the borders of the state for a while. In addition, banks are still reluctant to make money from marijuana, the management system potentially risky money for all concerned makes to accept.
Even if an investor is interested, many large companies are waiting to attend. Have while overlooking marijuana seem turned a corner, there are many Americans who believe that marijuana is where it should still be after the reviews. These people are the customers that the big companies do not want to risk it. Rather, the risk comes from small businesses.
If the cost and the legalization continues upward trend, can large companies come calling soon.
