What are the pro's and con's in working abroad?

We Answered:

Do take tax advice. The position is that if you are out of the UK for more than four months a year you lose entitlement to benefits such as the NHS. Should circumstances bring you to the UK for more than 183 days in any one year, you are liable for UK tax on foreign earnings. If you can manage to arrange things so that you are not disadvantaged in such ways, then what a great idea! http://www.shelteroffshore.com/index.php…

Only one problem at a time

1)

let the required 30% orange juice = x L

Since total is 25 L, the amount of 5% orange juice = 25 - x

balancing content of orange juice,

0.3x + 0.05(25 - x) = 25 * 0.14

0.3x - 0.05x + 1.25 = 3.50

0.35x = 3.5

x = 3.5 /0.35 = 10

The amount of 30 % orange juice = 10 L

The amount of 5% orange juice = 25 - 10 = 15 L

Why Will NOBODY Hire Me?

Actually, Logical Scholar makes a good point. He's referring to this:
"In the Subject of the email, I often write: "Former Chicago Tribune reporter wants to write for you!" Is this like not cool?"
And I agree with him. Let your resume speak for itself...no need to sound like a slimy salesperson. Professionalism is best. Your subject line should simply state that the email is about the advertised job position.

1. Being in a recession doesn't mean that suddenly everyone is poor. The majority of the wealth is held by a minority of people...and when you have more money than you know what to do with, it's harder to become financially ruined. More than anything, the recession has accelerated the hollowing out of the middle class; the people who had enough money to have something to lose, but not so much that it's impossible to become poor. And people who were poor when the recession began are equally poor now. The unemployment rate is the US based on unemployment recipients is still 10% (which is high), but the true rate of unemployment when you include people who have used up their unemplyoment without being able to find a job is significantly higher. As a result, the number of applicants for each job that is publicly posted is very large, and many of them are just as qualified as you, if not better.

2. As I said above, you're taking "sell yourself" a bit too far. It sounds like you're bragging, and that puts a bad taste in peoples' mouths. Be professional instead. Use your cover letter/email body to explain the better points of your relevant experience, why you want the job, why you you're a good for for the company, etc. Doing research on the company ahead of time can go a long way, both in the cover letter and interview. Knowing things about the company shows your dedication.

3. Employment agencies suck. If you can avoid them, do so. They get swamped with emails and letters even worse than companies who post their own ads do, and it's just not possible to deal with everyone, so they don't. I've heard of both agencies and certain companies either drawing email applicants lottery style, or just tossing out a big portion to cull the pile, or even ignoring email altogether. Email creates far more volume than they can handle, and since qualified applicants are rarely in short supply, they really lose nothing by eliminating applicants like that.

If at all possible, don't use email. At least not at first. Good old phone calls, if only to ask if you can submit your resume in person, can be more effective; it means that at the very least someone will know your name.
