SCAM...........do NOT proceed with this! I have a Visa and NEVER had to submit a financial statement or supply my banking information.

Starting a small business requires determination, motivation, and know-how. Here are the critical steps to provide you with the know-how to have a successful small business startup:..................... Identify Your Business Opportunity: Build a Business Plan: Find Start-up Money: Name Your Business: Choose a Business Structure: Get Your Business License and Permits: Set Up & Determine Your Business Location: Get Business Insurance: Create an Accounting System:

Get as much as you can, but if you aren't an exact job fit (which most people aren't) don't expect to get 55k. You need to look at what your equity is. If you are currently making 48k, it's fair and reasonable to ask for 5-10% more than you are currently making, so it would be okay to ask for 52k. If you are currently making 45k, you should probably ask for 50k and accept 48k. Do you follow? Get benefits information from them so you can compare it to your current position. If the benefit this company offers are less that what you are currently getting you can certainly negotiate for more salary based on that. Plus, don't forget to negotiate other things like: extra vacation time, paid cobra until benefits kick in, a signing bonus. Companies generally prefer to pay the one time things over extra salary. If the range is 45-55k, I don't expect that they would offer anything lower than 45k.

Okay let me tell you from experience that she will definitely need some sort of cash handling/customer service experience. This job requires that you are at least 18 years old..and have a decent knowledge of math skills. I worked as a bank teller for over two years ( a senior/lead teller for one of those years..) and it can be a stressful job--especially because what they don't tell you at the job interview is that they do expect you to sell. So if your daughter is willing to both process transactions correctly, be very friendly, a people person and sale products at the same time...then she will excel at this position. Like I said it can be stressful, but if it paid better I would make it a career. It is easy (once you get the hang of it...), fun, interesting to say the least, as well as sometimes challenging. While it can become mundane (like any job...) it is also one of the best jobs because you tend to bond with the other tellers and make good friends while working there. It can be scary (robberies, threats, etc) but as long as you don't take it personally and do your job the right way everything will be okay. It is hard to advance in banking though, unless you choose the right bank. I would recommend Wells Fargo as far as advancement opportunities...but to start out Bank of America is great. Another tip: They will probably not hire her full time starting out, it will most likely be an hourly position==20 hours or less per week until she learns the ropes and positions open up.

Do you have any specialized skills? An advanced degree? I work from home but I am a specialized consultant -- sometimes I have to suit up and go see clients, travel, attend meetings, etc. But usually I can perform all of my responsibilities from my home, on my computer and with my phone. I know others working from home that are also specialized consultants, ranging from attorneys to information systems programmers. These situations seem to have evolved to work-at-home careers -- rather than jobs you can apply for and acquire by filling out an application. I've seen the advertisements for assembly work at home, or if you give some dollar amount you can do some other work from home but I am not sure of the success rate or the validity of the jobs. Working from home does have it's benefits, but it takes a lot of discipline -- I should be working right now, as a matter of fact! Good luck.
