ON: Use of Aptitude Tests for Hiring

Posted 06-18-2014 at 04:27 PM by Blondebaerde

(Inspired by C-D Thread: "Ridiculous" test requirements for job applicants, June 18, 2014)

Clearly, employers are "trying" to mitigate risk of a bad hire.

They appear to believe that the more (or to greater depth) aptitude / screening tests dig, the better (more positively) the results correlate with a "successful" employee. Make sense?

Hell on Wheels: the Series

Posted 06-18-2014 at 12:38 PM by Fortoggie

Been using Netflix to watch the AMC, Hell on Wheels, episodes. In building a railroad through Nebraska in 1886 one sees the beast and vengeance left in men after the civil war.

Pocket listings are prevalent in some markets, and no doubt a lot of buyers see agents negotiating pocket listings on popular real estate TV shows on Bravo or HGTV.

What's A Woman To Do?

Posted 06-17-2014 at 10:37 PM by beautifuldreamer

My husband and I are going through a terrible situation right now. I'm at a loss as to what to do as I am hurting so much from this. I know he is hurting too but what else can we do? I know he is doing this to make his parents happy, but I don't understand why this has to end the way it is.
We are getting divorced and he is returning to his country. I can not go with him because his family doesn't approve and I recently found out that he never told his parents that we even got married. It's...
