I do not have a skilled trade. I'm working towards becoming a paramedic gaining experience in a caring environment. Is it possible I could move to New Zealand, get a job and work towards that there?
I am a very hard worker, I have alot of experience working on farms and am very good at general manual labour. I currently work in a call centre so am also experienced in customer services.
Do you think i have a chance of being able to get a visa and move to New Zealand? All advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
xxI want to move to New Zealand.... Any advice?
http://www.immigration.govt.nz/nzopportu鈥?/a>
if your job and duties fit into any of the jobs in demand for NZ then you can apply.That does not mean you will be approved.
If they do NOT fit, then you will not be eligible to apply.I want to move to New Zealand.... Any advice?
Like us, many countries are worried about immigration, even from ';white'; nations. But you can only know if you try. Make sure you keep your nose out of trouble (no police record), get some qualifications (e.g. an ambulance paramedic qualification would help), and show that you have taken the trouble to learn about the country and care about it.

Chronic health condition as a new employee. Any advice?
I have been diagnosed with a brain cyst in my left frontal lobe. I am becoming more symptomatic with facial swelling and eyebrow drooping. I never know when migraine activity is going to happen to sometimes full blown migraines. My co-workers see these symptoms in my face often and comment about the swelling under my eyes. It has simply been difficult to hide. I have surgery on the horizon and the consult to see a neuro-surgeon are in process.
I've been on time and work very hard. Mind you, this is retail at Whole Foods vitamins department. I informed my boss of the condition which was not this symptomatic when I applied there a month ago.
I am terribly embarrassed since they had high expectations for me. Now they are informing corporate and the coverage department of the store in the event something should happen which is supposed to be in my best interest. However, I feel like they probably don't want me there with my medical issues.
Can anyone give me advice about how corporations view this? Whether or not I should just level with them and ask if they would like me to resign? I dislike the idea of having to take a leave of absence as a new person in a few months. Any perspectives on this sort of thing--politically speaking? Chronic health condition as a new employee. Any advice?
Take a careful look at the company's HR health related policies. Some companies have a three-month probationary period for which they can let you go ';without cause';. There may also be a waiting period for health insurance (you haven't mentioned whether you need this or not).
Whole Foods is a fairly hard place to get a job. They are known for being a good employer. If you feel really uncomfortable at the local level I would ask to speak with an HR representative from corporate.
This sort of thing happens - people are people. I would definitely NOT resign but I would definitely vocalize my willingness to do whatever I could to work with the company. Tell them that you are eager to contribute and certainly didn't anticipate these issues; the sooner you can get it resolved medically the sooner you can be a real asset to the store.
You might consider buying a pair of just clear lens glasses and wear them to help hide your facial issues. If people ask, just tell them the truth within reason. Chronic health condition as a new employee. Any advice?
do not resign... wait and see if they pay you time off..... take care of yourself...thats whatcorporations are there for to pay your time off... myhusband is a photographer for a big corp and he had cancer surgery and is on 6 mos medical leave

Threats from my ex's new gf...need advice!?
My ex and I have shared custody of our daughter for 2 years now. His new girlfriend of 7 months made him change his number a few months ago b/c she didnt like the fact that we still talked (discussions about our daughter only). I have not spoken to him since before Christmas. Everytime we need to meet up with our daughter or discuss anything regarding her, I've have to go through the new girlfriend. She's very hard to deal with, she lashes out, is very controlling and tries to make all custody decisions. I've come to the point to where I have had enough so I stopped answering her calls/texts and told her that I will only talk to my ex from now on so if he needs anything he will need to contact me directly. I was tired of all my messages being exaggerated and relayed the wrong way. This girl loves drama and all I want to do is keep the peace and be civil. After 4 months of no direct communication, my ex called me last night (from her cell) and told me he will give me the number to the house phone only so I can speak to him if I need to. I told him that was fine as long as I dont have to talk to his girlfriend. So just when I finally feel a bit of relief, she sends me a text this morning saying that I MUST go through her for everything and if I dont then they will not work with me and will make things very crappy for me. Anyway, are there any legal actions I can take against this? Its so stupid and immature. They also just bought a house together, so as of now I have no idea where my daughter is living when she is not with me and I still do not have his cell number.Threats from my ex's new gf...need advice!?
Sounds like you and your ex had things settled out before *****-zilla got involved. Now that he wants her in his life, he has made the decision for you to get this custody arrangement permanent in court. On top of that, I think it's time he paid child support. You also have a right to know where your daughter is. Get the address immediately, or I would think it's considered kidnapping...
Talk to a lawyer today, immediately. Save the text messages she is sending you so the court can see how hostile she is. She does not have any custody rights to your child, so she should not be involved. Take solice in the fact that this guy is getting in way deep with a woman that is going to make him miserable.Threats from my ex's new gf...need advice!?
Time to talk to an attorney. Don't delete any of her or your text messages.
Contact a lawyer and get into court unless you want to keep dealing with this witch.
Are your custody arrangments thru the court? If not, I don't believe you have a legal recourse.
You need to tell your ex firmly that you will speak to him and only him regarding your daughter. His girlfriend has no legal stake in the matter and is irrelevant to the situation.
Also, I would not place the welfare of your child in the hands of his girlfriend. Legally, you have the right to know the whereabouts of your daughter at all times, even during visitiation.
Tell your ex to get a spine.
This is his child. The girlfriend is a nobody as far as your child is concerned. You don't have to deal with her.
Is there a formal custody agreement? If there is, your ex has notify you where he is living.
Tell your boyfriend that you will not have any more communications with his girlfriend concerning your daughter. All communications has to be directly between the two of you only. If he wants to bring her up to date, he has to do it himself.
Good luck
Call a lawyer and buy a notebook. Keep very very detailed records of everything that happens with them that is pertinent to your daughter.Make sure to keep track of and never to delete any messages you get from her, especially if they are creepy
One can certainly understand why ex is ex! Sheesh! Yes, there's quite a bit you can do here. Write a one-pager to ex explaining simply that the court order granting custody requires the two of you to communicate absent any proviso regarding or indeed any mention of his housemate. If he is unable to comply with those terms, either because of HM's unwelcome intervention or any other reason, suggest that you will be pleased to seek legal recourse to address the matter. And also, of course, ignore HM. If you absolutely have to speak with her, advise her that custody arrangements are a matter exclusively between the parents but that if she has a question about child's care while in her home that you would be more than pleased to provide information. Add if you can that you're grateful for her care of your child and that child is genuinely fond of her. You must be firm but keep the door open as she, too, has some responsibility for your child in her home and it SURE doesn't sound like pop is any too accountable!

My cat is scratching my new leather furniture! Advice please?????
I just noticed some holes in my leather sofa from the cat. We really don't want to get the cat declawed, but we payed $3000 for our furniture. Our cat is inside and out through the doggy door. We have 2 small dogs, so if we lock the doggy door, the dogs wouldn't be able to go out and pee pee.
I read on the internet about a product called soft paw nail caps, but it sound kind of ridiculous, and hard to apply!
I'm desperate for some answers!My cat is scratching my new leather furniture! Advice please?????
OH MY GOD. Please. Give me a break. You know, when I tried to research declawing online, all I could find was a bunch of dramatic claims about how horrible your cat will become, and insane PETA and ALF nut jobs telling me im evil, and as so many people here seam to think, ';cruel'; if I declaw.
I say... BULL.
I've had 8 cats in my life, some while living with my parents when younger, two my sisters, and my own.
EVERY ONE WAS DECLAWED. and EVERY ONE WAS PERFECTLY FINE.
I just had my two kittens done. They are perfectly fine. As a matter of fact, they have been soooo much more affectionate since the procedure.
So people around here need to come off their high horses, get over it, and stop claiming to know what your cat is thinking.
The study that claims that declawed cats have more behavioral problems and are more likely to end up back in shelters because of those problems, was done on 150 cats. Thats a pathetic statistical sample of the MILLIONS of cats and declawed cats in the U.S. alone.
People need to stop talking like they sat down with a room full of cats and had a conversation on the subject.
I would be willing BET ANYTHING that EVERY PERSON IN HERE who is bemoaning the procedure as cruel and inhumane has never had the procedure done on a cat, and that they are just giving you second, third, thirty-third hand accounts, most of which are likely based on the same pathetic ';study'; (term used loosely, and PETA propaganda.
I saw and interview with the national head of the SPCA who explained that PETA has done more harm to the animal rights movement than almost any organization outside the cattle industry. They are glory hounds, and attention seekers. They have marginalized the entire movement, and made it easier for lawmakers to dismiss the thousands of people here who work hard, and honestly, on behalf of animals. So please. Consider your sourcesMy cat is scratching my new leather furniture! Advice please?????
you can give it a cane ball
There is this stuff called Sticky Paws it is a special sticky coded paper that you put on your couches-it does no damage to the couch-but it makes the cats claws stick to it and eventually the cat gives up...It worked wonders on my cat!!!
get a sctatching post and train your cat to use it get its paws and show him how to use it and encourage this action my cat uses his every time he has eaten or walkes into the room it is in he is very good
Cats have scent glands on their paws, so when they begin to scratch somewhere, it leaves a smell that says ';scratch here';. This is why it's worth the time and effort to encourage your cat to use a scratch post, because once they start to use it, they always will. They also have individual preferences for what they enjoy scratching, so provide a few alternatives; a sisal post, corrugated cardboard or even a wooden log, until you find one that they will use. I know you don't really want to, but you will have to temporarily cover your sofa while your cat learns to use the scratch post, because as long as they can smell their claw scent, they will think the sofa is the right place to scratch. Place the scratch post next to the area of the sofa where they scratch and once they begin using the scratch post on a regular basis you can remove the protective covering from your sofa.

Be patient, it can take some cats longer than others to get the idea, but it really is worth persevering with the training.
cats usually don't like loud noises, so when you cat goes near the couch just raise your voice and say NO or CLAWS and the cat will stop. If this doesn't work then i suggest you use a spray bottle, and everytime your cat goes to scratch the couch you spray them. They'll catch on pretty quick!

PLEASE DON';T DECLAW
Before you make the decision to declaw your cat, there are some important facts you should know. Declawing is not like a manicure. It is serious surgery. Your cat's claw is not a toenail. It is actually closely adhered to the bone. So closely adhered that to remove the claw, the last bone of your the cat's claw has to be removed. Declawing is actually an amputation of the last joint of your cat's ';toes';. When you envision that, it becomes clear why declawing is not a humane act. It is a painful surgery, with a painful recovery period. And remember that during the time of recuperation from the surgery your cat would still have to use its feet to walk, jump, and scratch in its litter box regardless of the pain it is experiencing.
There has been a lot of people saying there something about cats and leather furniture they love to scratch and claw it. Try a spay called Feliway you can get it at the vet or order it on line. I don't know if it will help but try it any way or talk to the vet while there about it. You most likely get free advice
.
Soft paws DEFINITELY! Works like a charm and they come in really fun colors!
Really easy to apply actually and they can stay on for 2 months or longer.
A very good solution and much kinder than declawing.
well other than that the only other thing to do is by a spray for your couch that repels cats, or get covers, i think u can make ur own stuf to!
do you work for lydia clad.?
never mind, i thought u were some one else.if u live neer a beach go and get some drift wood. for the cat to scratch.zits

Canon Rebel XSi vs. the new Nikon D5000, advice needed.?
Hi guys. I am looking to get a new dslr. I have some basic experience with photography and I understand the main components such as aperture, shutterspeed, iso, wb etc etc. I have experience with my friends nikon slr and now i'm looking to get my own slr.
There are two cameras I'm considering, the canon rebel XSi and the nikon D5000. I know there is a new rebel T1i but that is too much for me, the D5000 is the top of my budget limit. The D5000 is also 200ish more than the XSi. But I don't like the fact that D5000 won't autofocus on lenses unless they are AF-S, because I want a 50 mm f/1.8 and it won't autofocus on that. But i do like the faster fps, higher iso, build quality and movie mode as a bonus.
Which body would you get and why? Thanks for help.Canon Rebel XSi vs. the new Nikon D5000, advice needed.?
You have answered your own question. The D5000 doesn't have the auto focus motor in the camera body so you have to use the very small selection of Nikon lenses created for it if you want auto focus. All the great Nikon glass, the primes like the 50 1.8 and their top zooms won't work. And you can forget about any of the other brands like Tamron or Sigma.
The D40, D60 and now the D5000 are made for people who are going to leave the camera in full auto mode.
The XSI on the other hand is full featured. It has the same Digic III processor with 14-bit processing as their top of the line cameras. All of the Canon EOS lenses will work. The 50 1.8 is a wonderful lens and it cost about $89. The L series lenses are among the best in the world.
The bottom line is you get access to the entire Canon system as well as other lens makers. Both camera's are going to give you a great image so your choice comes down to personal preference. I'm biased, I shoot with the XSI so keep that in mind.
Tim
http://www.timothylittle.comCanon Rebel XSi vs. the new Nikon D5000, advice needed.?
Tim's answer is full of misinformation. It is very untrue to say that Nikon offers only a ';very small selection'; of lenses created for it. It is outright false to advise the original poster to forget about Tamron and Sigma. D5000 has same image quality as D90, but with an articulating screen.
i had the same problem about a week ago. but i finally made up my mind and got the rebel sxi. and dude im telling you thats its a freaking sick camera man. im getting into photography myself. and this camera is just perfect. it takes rapid pictures and they all come out clear.
i strongly suggest the rebel. i also couldnt afford the new rebel. but the sxi is so bad *** dude. get it.
I will be honest with you, if your friend uses Nikon and you plan to go shooting together then maybe it would be a good idea to also get a Nikon. You could trade and swap lenses and accessories and he could offer you advice and troubleshoot problems you may have.
As far as the D5000 goes, do not buy it for the movie mode. I have had to explain many times on here how terrible video modes are on DSLR's. No AF so you have to manually focus, you need to be tripod mounted because camera shake is magnified greatly etc etc... I would recommend saving up a bit more for the D90 but if the D5000 is your limit then so be it, it looks like a nice camera.
(How about that, sound Nikon advice and I'm a Canon owner. Not everybody needs to push their own brand on others ;o) )

All the great Nikon glass, the primes like the 50 1.8 and their top zooms won't work. And you can forget about any of the other brands like Tamron or Sigma.
The D40, D60 and now the D5000 are made for people who are going to leave the camera in full auto mode.
The XSI on the other hand is full featured. It has the same Digic III processor with 14-bit processing as their top of the line cameras. All of the Canon EOS lenses will work. The 50 1.8 is a wonderful lens and it cost about $89. The L series lenses are among the best in the world.
The bottom line is you get access to the entire Canon system as well as other lens makers. Both camera's are going to give you a great image so your choice comes down to personal preference. I'm biased, I shoot with the XSI so keep that in mind.

Tim's answer is full of misinformation. It is very untrue to say that Nikon offers only a ';very small selection'; of lenses created for it. It is outright false to advise the original poster to forget about Tamron and Sigma. D5000 has same image quality as D90, but with an articulating screen.

i had the same problem about a week ago. but i finally made up my mind and got the rebel sxi. and dude im telling you thats its a freaking sick camera man. im getting into photography myself. and this camera is just perfect. it takes rapid pictures and they all come out clear.
i strongly suggest the rebel. i also couldnt afford the new rebel. but the sxi is so bad *** dude. get it.
I will be honest with you, if your friend uses Nikon and you plan to go shooting together then maybe it would be a good idea to also get a Nikon. You could trade and swap lenses and accessories and he could offer you advice and troubleshoot problems you may have.
As far as the D5000 goes, do not buy it for the movie mode. I have had to explain many times on here how terrible video modes are on DSLR's. No AF so you have to manually focus, you need to be tripod mounted because camera shake is magnified greatly etc etc... I would recommend saving up a bit more for the D90 but if the D5000 is your limit then so be it, it looks like a nice camera.
(How about that, sound Nikon advice and I'm a Canon owner. Not everybody needs to push their own brand on others ;o) )

Can anyone give me advice for making new friends?
i just need more help making new friends, cause i only have like 2 friends so... im kinda shy when it comes to making new friends.Can anyone give me advice for making new friends?
The best way that I know of is to maybe join a club or after school activity that interests you. That way you will meet people with like interests. Then all you need to do is just be yourself. If someone was meant to be your friend, they will like you for you, and not who they think you should be. Also, don't try something just because the crowd you're with is doing it. I've learned the hard way, that doesn't work either. Good luck and God Bless, hon!Can anyone give me advice for making new friends?

smile and always bring a smile with you
Dude is right! Smile! That is an invitation to be friends. Picture some scowling, hateful look like most kids seem to wear...they don't look very ';friendly';, do they? Then picture the ones that smile. They look nice, huh? So will you if you just smile. Say hi to people, and smile.
It seems like people nowadays think they are not supposed to look other people in the eye, and they are supposed to act like zombies. It is sad. It is ignorant!
The world should be one big family . If everybody would act friendly it could be one big family! Do what you can to promote it.
Same here! You can e my new friend.
Yeah... you're quite the same as I do. I'm quite shy to make friends(face to face)
But know I found a new way to find some more friends:
maybe you can click on somebody's profile in Yahoo! Answers and then email them...
If you're over 18, you can join things like Yahoo 360 or Myspace. But if you're under 18, you can start conversations w/kids at school.
Spend more time out. Go to the malls, movies, different stores. Start conversations with people when you get eye contact. Basically just say hi to people when they look at you in your eyes for more than 3 seconds. GUARANTEED you'll get more friends
advice depends if your child or adult. If child, make friends with people your age and you see regularly anyways, school chums, but avoid stanger adults or adults trying strange offers. With school pals or neighbours be brave, and just say hi and smile, and be respectful and polite. Ask your acquaintances to let you join in their activities, or invite them into your activities, Join sports or other school clubs, not gangs though. Support someone who gets hurt or embarrassed, they'll become good friends, and maybe support for you when you need it too. Friendship is just something that happens out of that attitude and behaviour.
If your adult, also, need to be brave, have respect in your heart and smile and say hi often, even if just for practice. Sometimes more than just practice happens, they smile back. Let respect and care live in your heart, start a conversation and let it take its course. Talk about concerns and cares or just talk just any topic or let more interesting or more talkative subjects develop. Offer help if any way you could help at all at anything, Always let care and respect live in your heart as you converse. Shake hands before departing. Ask for contact phone or email before leaving each other, before you miss the chance to contact again. Later, ask to meet or share outings etc...
Have patience, and good humour too.
Oh, and one thing for sure, although it may seem unconventional advice, don't buy into that ';shy'; label. If others call you shy, ignore it, If you acted shy in the past, don't worry about it, let yourself grow out of it. If you feel shy, never mind it. Just let respect and care live in your heart and be positive and do those things listed above. Friendships will be a by-product, but nonetheless, still the achievement of your aim.
be friendly, smile, go up to people in a bar or at the movies and say hi.
don't- friends are very unimportant, don't waste your time
My advice for you to making friends is to be yourself. Trust me, it is so much better to have friends who love you for who you are than what you are acting like. And, yes I am shy too... but learn to open up. Show them that you are more than just a shy person by showing your inner humor, talents, and personality. Talk to people. Any conversation is good... except sick and disgusting stuff or things that would make them uncomfortable. What else? Hmm... oh, and maybe meeting your friend's friends. Just the same as making new friends, but with an old friend to introduce you to them. Well, hope I helped. Buh bye! =)
