It should be manditory for companies in the US to hire only in the US and illegal for them to ship jobs overseas.If they choose to ship jobs overseas then they must live there as well

I have a background in secretarial, administrative, customer service, also a full office in my home and I am seeking either a full or part time position to work from my home.

I have a resume for your view, at your request.

I will await your reply.

Thank you
Judy

Many of my job interviews have come during the holiday season. If a company knows it has a need, the best time to bring someone on board likely is that January-February time frame when things tend to slow down.

On the other hand, I did notice service-oriented players in the list. December is their busy period and current workers may like the extra hours but chafe when it cuts into flexibility. Having managed in that environment once, it is a good time to procure new employees and strive to keep them after the holidays and cut hours of the existing lagging employees.

I can't imagine companies rushing to hire during the holiday season. Maybe true for smaller companies. Such activities pretty much slow down in larger companies during these holidays.

I didn't put aside any time for Thanksgiving celebration, as I've been working hard to enable new jobs and opportunities via SharedMall. For the curious mind, you can check out SharedMall by clicking on my name.
