Actually no you do not. How do you think so many Poles, Chinese, Japanese, Russians, Italians etc. became citizens? A child can sponsor their parent, but the parent is not legally obligated to speak English. I agree English should be the official language and required for jobs where it is necessary in communicating.However I also think learning other languages makes you a more capable and aware person and that is shouldn't be required for someone who works in a profession More

This is such a great article with very useful information! This is a great time of year for students to begin searching for scholarships for the upcoming school year. By starting the process now, you will have a huge head start on the competition! Scholarships are a great source of money to pay for college scholarships and grants, but most students and their parents don't have the time or energy to look for them. And even if they do, there is so much information out there More

It's trivial, really. As long as an athlete shows silent respect when ANY country's anthem is sung, there should be no issue. You don't know what does respect mean is in someone's heart just from whether or not they lip sync words. As for me, I am glad that I am always moved by the Star Spangled Banner, and I was taught to show respect for the anthem and the flag. Respect is the key, some people just don't sing, they prefer to dribble, pass, and shoot! Just don't be More

Far too many men in this age group, myself included, have seen how marriage and divorce advice for men laws have been used to loot men's wealth and to deprive them of their children. Why on Earth would ANY intelligent man (the kind the author seems to desire) sign up for that? They're too busy enjoying the fruit of their labor and have no intention of having it stolen from them. And let's also be honest - men are no longer needed. We're told so from birth. Women never hesitate More

It is very clear to me and quite a few of my conservative friends and correspondents that Romney is a very typical slick politician. He ultimately only believes that HE is the answer. Yes, he would be an self improvement tips over Obama. That's setting the bar very low. His actions and words are those of a big government supporter, only more favorable to big business and not American entrepreneurs. If he is the nominee I will at best enter the voting booth in Nov 2012 holding More

Julia....Is your comment a response to mine? If so, what in the world did I write that made you think I was anti-homosexual? Absolutely not true. I don't care who sleeps with whom. None of my business. I don't know why black women should have a considerable higher turnover rate of lesbianism, as was implied by Charlene. Charlene seems to think the 70% single rate is way too high, and the real rate is 40%, principally because so many black women are gay! Which means her More

Embrace the opportunity to overhaul the entire working tax credits code, Mr. Boehner. You don't need the president's permission to do your job. Better yet, he's already on record as favoring a reduction in tax credits and deductions, so start there by doing away with the credits and deductions which let so many people walk away from their federal income tax burden entirely. When you have shown the American people that we are all truly in this together and that we are all More

Correction. The candidate should do whatever the employer wants him to do relative to applying for the job. If the person thinks the procedure reflects poorly on the company or is too onerous or he is not capable of using pen and paper, he can walk out the door and apply somewhere else. Personally, I have things automated; however, to suggest a company is rude, arrogant and brainless for requesting an applicant to fill out paperwork is ridiculous. Maybe the employer wants More

I've paid off my mortgage and have ZERO debt. I bought low, and sold high. Now I am repositioning to take advantage of the inevitable run up in interest rates. I'd be happy to lend the lemmings money at 10-15%. But, I will not help the O succeed in turning the economy around in the short-term, only to loose more of our liberties in the long term career goals-term. The responsible thing to do is cut out the cancer before it kills you. I'll take the short term pain More

Blacklisting is very real indeed. I remember doing it plenty when I was a recruiter. It's a gamble. The other side of it is that the candidate that you wanted to place is in fact good enough to get a job elsewhere. I've blacklisted people that made $10/hr, and I've blacklisted people that make $100k/yr. Qualified candidates will always have the upper hand. It's all about transferable skills. The days of traditional recruiting (cold calling) are gone. Social networking More
