Job Advice: Administrative Assistant or Compliance Analyst?
I would really appreciate advice from professionals. I have been offered a job as a "compliance analyst" at the corporate headquarters of a credit union. The job would consist of performing audits on direct and indirect loans. Another job that I have been selected to interview for is for an "administrative assistant" at a bank (not corporate). My question is, what will prepare me better for growth? What would a future employer look at as better preparation for a higher level position? Is a "compliance analyst" too specialized? Or would an administrative assistant look too entry-level? The positions offer comparable pay.
Thanks.
2 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment5 years agoConnecting laptop to a projector using vga/rca converter?
Hi, as you can see, I am trying to set up an external projector display on my laptop. So I have an rca to vga converter in order to connect the projector to my laptop. (My laptop is a windows vista.) The problem however is that my laptop is not detecting the external display, (I have tried the windows mobility center where it says "connect display," I've tried turning on presentation mode, and I've tried messing with the display properties.)
I have been researching the problem and have learned that vga is a digital connection, whereas rca is analog. But I still don't really understand how to solve my problem. My projector only has hookups for rca, and a vga converter was the only thing I could find to connect the two. Is there some kind of driver I could install that would make my computer recognize the projector?
Right now, I have connected:
(Laptop) -- (vga/rca converter cable) -- (rca cable) -- (projector)
Any help would be great! Thanks.
Monitors7 years agoCar Stereo for vehicle with no radio capabilities?
Hello,
Okay, so I'm trying to get my Mom something great for Christmas. She delivers mail, and drives one of the mail wagons now. She used to drive her own car, so since changing over to and"LLV" she has no radio, no AC.. nothing :(
Anyway, there is a cigarette lighter, and I was wondering if any of you know of a good kind of stereo or radio that she could use that would only need a cigarette lighter for operation. (No batteries.) Also, something that could be relatively loud.. she can't have headphones, so no handheld players either.
In my mind I'm picturing basically a miniature boombox, or something like that? If any of you have ideas for anything that might work I would be so appreciative. Links are great if you have them.
Thanks in advance!!
5 AnswersCar Audio10 years agoThings to do with bread dough & Sauces to put in veggie pocket?
Hello everyone,
I am making bread, but I'm kind of sick of just basic bread, so I found a recipe for veggie pockets, where you essentially just fill the pocket with rice and veggies, then seal it and bake it.
Not that this doesn't sound delicious and healthy, but I wonder if any of you have ideas for what sauces or creamy foods..(that would go with veggies) I could use to fill it that would help them not to be so dry and bland. The only thing I can think of is some kind of cheese sauce.
I also have chicken.. maybe BBQ or Teriyaki chicken pockets?
I usually just make:
-basic bread
-cinnamon rolls
-rolls
-scones
-bread sticks
-pizza
-buns
-french bread
-texas toast
If any of you have creative and delicious ideas for what to do with bread dough I would love to hear them!

7 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks1 decade agoDoes anyone know the title of this horror movie?
My friend was telling me about a movie where there is a group of people (scientists?) that are watching this family live inside this "bubble" that the family can't see out of. One of the guys falls in love with the girl who lives in the house, and so they try to find a way in. I think they throw ice cubes or something at the shield and they eventually find a breaking point, so the guy is able to get in their world. I think when he meets the girl, she attacks him and kills him. Then the worlds trade places, and it is the scientist guys who are in the bubble. Something like that.
Anyway, I cannot find this movie anywhere, and I am really curious.
I also think she said it was older, (80's I'd imagine) and it had some famous actor in it before they were really well known. I just can't remember who.
Thanks for the help :)
1 AnswerMovies1 decade agoLDS: Help finding this poem? (Other Christian help would be great also!)?
Okay, this is SO a shot in the dark. I am not sure if this is specifically a poem written by an LDS author, or just a general Christian poem. I heard it in sacrament meeting months ago.
It was about trials. The last line went something like,
"The Savior of the World has had(?) (borne?) darkness greater than ours."
I know FOR SURE it was "The Savior of the World" and something about bearing all "darkness."
I've tried searching for it everywhere. I'm just wondering if anyone recognizes that line at all and could help me out.
Thanks in advance.
1 AnswerReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoCarbon Dating Question.. PLEASE help me?
Okay I have the equation for carbon dating: t = t1/2 * [ ln (Nf/N0) / (-0.693) ]
t (time) = 5300
t1/2 = 5730
N0 = 20160
So I end up with the final equation 5300 = 5730 * [ ln (Nf/20160) / (-0.693) ]
The question is how to find out the remaining percentage of carbon-14 on this item. So I need to solve Nf first, but I have NO idea how.
Will someone please help me understand this?
It's for a general science class, so it shouldn't require a major mathematical background.
1 AnswerHomework Help1 decade agoCarbon dating EQUATION question?
Okay for my homework I have the formula f(t) = t1/2 * [ ln (Nf/N0) / (-0.693) ]
I know how to solve for time (or how old the item was) easily.
In one of my problems however, I was asked "What percentage of the original carbon-14 (Nf) was remaining when the item was found?" The only other imformation I have is that the item was 5300 years old.
So I end up with 5300 = 5730 * [ ln (Nf/20160) / (-0.693) ]
How do I solve for Nf inside a natural log? Or am I going about this wrong?
1 AnswerChemistry1 decade agoSong starting with mis/miss?
I have been trying to think of a song and it uses a word that has "mis" in it, but it's used in a word like mis-take or mis-inform. It's describing a woman. It's not used as separate words like "miss-independent," though I think it intentionally uses the word mis to mean miss as well as be a part of the word.
Sorry if this is way confusing, but I'm going crazy trying to think of it, and I can't find anything searching.
It's an R&Bish song, maybe sung by Christina Aguilera or Mary J Blige.. that style of music.

2 AnswersOther - Television1 decade agoLDS church and cremation?
I know the church of Jesus Christ opposes, or at least discourages cremation unless it falls under tradition or something similar. My question however is what happens to the bodies of those that are cremated during the second coming? How can a spirit reunite with a cremated body, or does it not matter what condition the body is in? And in that case, why does the church oppose cremation at all if it would make no difference?
I guess while I'm already asking this question, could someone please explain what exactly will happen during the second coming as far as our bodies and spirits are concerned? I'm not entirely clear on that.
I'm really not interested in hearing anything but answers to my question, so all of you planning to correct me in my choice of religion, don't waste your time. Thanks.
2 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoQuestion about taxes and year end dates?
I got a job on December 28 2009. The payperiod ended January 1st, and I didn't get my check until the 6th.
Do I have to file 2009 taxes? Or is it not a big enough amount to have to file? (No taxes were taken out of my check.)
I worked out of state last summer, so I know I will have to file Wyoming taxes.
Will I have to file in my current state? besides those 2-3 days, I have no other work experience there.
Also, will there be fees for working out of state?
Thanks everyone who can help me on this.

This morning on my laptop, I visited a blog. After reading for a few seconds a new page popped up and basically everything started going crazy. I have Microsoft security essentials and it detected 5-7 trojan viruses. So I cleaned the computer and removed them. Only then my internet would not work. I'm now using my parent's computer. (I use their wireless as well; it works on this computer, but not my laptop.) When I diagnose the computer issues It comes up that the proxy server is incorrect or something. I've never had to deal with that and I don't know what any of it means. It won't let me system restore because it says to talk to workgroup and the administrator. I am the administrator, and I don't know what to do.
Also everytime I restart my computer Security essentials finds more viruses. ANd then this fake virus program shows up and asks for me to scan.
I don't know what to do, and I cannot get online. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have only internet explorer by the way.

Hello all. I've heard a song on the BYU station and it's called Tempest by Heather McQuiston. Apparently it's on a cd of hers called sojourn.

But my problem is, she doesn't seem to exist outside of BYU's playlist site. I've looked at deseret book, seagull book, and everywhere online. Does anyone know how I may find means of getting this song? Or has anyone heard of her nad know where I might get the song or CD?
