Here Are Some Job Positions Currently Available



Since I work from home doing grant research, I have a Working From Home blog. But I have come across some websites that are listing job openings that they have available. Here is another such site!

Liveperson.com has a number of job openings posted on their website. A lot of the job positions are in Israel but they also have some job openings for those that live in the United States. A lot of the positions are for manger-type jobs but there is an interesting position for a content writer as well.

You can find out more about their job openings by clicking here.

Banks Starting To Charge Debit Card Fees!



The online articles say that you should check your receipts to make sure that you are not being charged a fee for using your debit card!

It seems that since President Obama wants to crack down on the ways that banks charge for credit card fees the banks have found an alternative source of generating some income for themselves and that alternative is to charge people for using their debit cards.


It seems that this year more people used their debit cards than they did their credit cards which has been the first time that this has happened.

It seems that a number of banks are coming up with something called "loyalty" programs for their debit card users. However the terms still require either a fee or that the debit card user meet specific terms to be eligible for the loyalty program.

According to one online site:

"Consumers need to have an eyes wide open perspective when it comes to financial services. Fees are going to be cropping up, but that also gives you a chance to comparison shop. There may be just as many good deals at the other end of the spectrum."

Are You Looking For Work?



Did you know that despite the news about there not being enough jobs for people, there are some industries that are begging for qualified workers!

One of the biggest industries that need qualified workers now is the health care industry! There are many job openings for nurses and home health care workers and aides. Also according to my Grant Basics 101 Blog, there are many job openings in our own government. Here is a quote from one of the online articles:

"Many of the positions, which require specific skills and offer salaries in the range of $30,000 to $45,000, have been vacant for six months or longer"

Since workers are needed so badly a hiring incentive program was recently announced to help encourage existing employees to refer viable candidates. Those responsible for bringing in new hires are eligible to receive $2,500 to $5,000, depending on the position. Also added in is a signing bonus for the new employees!

There are several online sites that you can go to that post job openings in your area. You should also look into working for the government as well because they have many job openings and government workers receive good benefits in addition to a highly competitive salary.

As far as other kinds of job openings are concerned here is another excerpt from an online article:

Things are even worse on the higher end of the pay scale. At a wireless leasing firm, a position for director of lead generation, which pays $90,000-$140,000, has been open for three months, with no candidates in sight.
