You're Not Alone in the Moonlight

Article Abstract:

Government statistics reveal that four million people work at two jobs, and about half of them are professionals, executives, managers or technicians. While most people moonlight to earn extra income, money is not always the motivating factor; the change to learn something new also attracts people to moonlighting. The extra income often helps provide the extras that one salary alone could not, and some people view moonlighting as the way to establish a second career in preparation for a job change or retirement. For those thinking about moonlighting, either for money for self-fulfillment, there are several sources of information on the subject. Good time management is an important skill for the moonlighter, who may neglect family and friends, while pursuing the two careers. Once the decision has been made to moonlight, there are several ways to get started, including spreading the word with friends, or taking a class. But, moonlighting does not always work out, and when it starts to interfere with a regular job or in your life, then it may be time to retire from moonlighting.

How to Negotiate a Job Transfer

Article Abstract:

For some individuals, moving up the corporate ladder may involve moving around the country to take advantage of job opportunities with their companies. While such employee transfers are usually strictly regulated by corporate policies, there can sometimes be room for an employee to negotiate benefits. A list is provided of basic services which should be expected by the mobile employee, including a loan for a down payment on a new house, mortgage interest rates differentials, temporary living expenses and house hunting trips. In addition to standard items, there are often deluxe moving benefits which can be negotiated; these include help in finding a job for an employed spouse, help in selling a vacation home, a company car and a private school allowance for children (if needed). While you may not get everything you ask for - money is not everything. The transferring employee needs to know that the move will not hurt his or her career and that the family, who also must move, will be happy in the new location.

Reviewing the VCRs

Article Abstract:

There are almost one hundred models of video cassette recorders for consumers to choose from, and these range in price from $300-$1000. With sales projected at six million VCRs for 1984, the consumer who wants to record TV shows and watch pretaped movies has a large selection and confusing decision in store. Comparison shopping is a must, as is deciding what features you really want and how much you are willing to pay for them. In addition to portable vs. non-portable decisions, you also have to decide between Beta, VHS and, in the fall, a third option to be introduced by Kodak. Now, stereo sound is becoming available on many models, and cameras are becoming an increasingly attractive option for use with portable machines. Even after you have narrowed down your options, you should have your choices hooked up to a television set for testing so that the various functions can be displayed.
