Question by curiogirl84: I was let go from my job. What do I say to potential employers when they want to know what happened?
I worked in a customer service job for a month. I loved answering questions and helping people, and listening to their concerns.
However, it wasn’t the job for me. It also dealt with sales. I’m not a salesperson–I’m not aggressive/persistent enough.
I felt the products were not legitimate–they were for weight loss, “male enhancement,” and memory loss/depression.
My supervisor told me when she let me go I wasn’t meeting the minimum requirements for convincing people to keep the products, but if I wanted a reference, she’d be happy to give me one. This makes me think she liked me as a person, but felt I wasn’t cut out for the job.
My question is, how do I explain the situation to prospective employers without sounding negative? I hated the rude people who treated me like crap. If I’d known the job would be in sales, I would never have taken the position.
Also, what are my chances of being hired by someone else? Will they understand I wasn’t cut out for that? Thanks!

Personally, I would be totally upfront about the whole situation. Make it clear that you wish to work for a reputable company that is protective of it’s customers. Also make it clear that you would not of taken that job if you had been aware of what the products were. An employer that is looking for reliable, long term employees will hopefully respect your “honor”.

Question by Sang: Cricket, I know there is 5 test matches over 5 days. Is it 2 innings each or do they just play till day 5 ends?
Like I don’t get it, what if by day 5, England is playing their 3rd inning where as Australia has only had 2… Bit unfair if I think about it lol.

Sorry I’m new to cricket, any response would be appreciated!
What happens when Aus is on their 2nd inning + leading, but don’t finish? Say only 5 is out? Do they win or is it a draw even though they are leading but not finish?

Best answer:

Answer by KooKee
Both teams have 2 innings, and the team with the most runs after all 4 innnings have been completed is the winnner.

Matches can last 2, 3, 4 or 5 days depending on the opposition, however if a Match last 5 full days then the match is declared a draw.

Question by in 10 cities…..: What are the different styles of yoga and what do they focus on?
I know there is a type for weight loss and such, and I was wondering what are all of the different styles of yoga and what do they do for the body?

All I know when it comes to terminology is hatha, and I’m not even sure what that does lol. I don’t know the terms so if someone could explain those too I’d appreciate it.

I’m really interested to know if any type of yoga can give outer (as well as inner) strength and stamina. If there is such a thing could you please tell me more?

Thanks in advance!

Question by davidheyburn: Why is baseball the only sport where they only congratulate themselves after a game?
After a professional baseball game, the players all congratulate themselves, much like in other sports they wish the other team a sportsmans job well done, some thing like “good game.” Now in amateur baseball it is not odd to see the 2 teams line up for a handshake, but why is it that in professional baseball, a sport that is considered to be a ‘genuine’ sport, they forget the sportsmanship and simply congratulate themselves?

Question by Archangel: Why don’t classic martial arts masters just beat down MMA figthers if they are so good.?
They could promote their art and make their technique and superior mastery known by taking a dude apart in seconds. All the old masters would have so don’t give me this ” They are too humble ” stuff. If there are these awesome masters out ther why don’t they just come into UFC, take the champions out and say, “This is real martial arts” and put these so called inferior martial artists to shame. I hear so much about how useless MMA is but not one figther form classical arts is dominating the UFC or any MMA competition. It should be ono problem to them cause they could figth more than one opponent in the street, why not just take out this one crappy MMA guy and show the world.Do you relaise that Shaolin monks idolise Michael Jordan and Mike Tyson. I think MMA isn’t getting enough credit. Though not a complete self dfefense style they are awesome fighters. Anyone got anything to say????
Consider this
1. Past masters wren’t afraid to show their skill
2. I can poke eyes too
3. MMA fighters don’t need to go to gyms, they signed up with the organisations legally like it should be done
4. Brock Lesner is showing that he is not fake and was a pro wrestler, why can’t martial arts instructors?
Well said garry h

Answer by Vincent G
Consider the following.

1) Just because you can does not mean you should. Many classic martial arts advise you to only fight as a last resort.

2) They would be fighting on MMA’s turf, by MMA’s rules, where MMA works best. The fact is the reason the classic masters are tough is because they can do some very damaging things to a human body, theses things are often illegal in MMA.

3) Why don’t MMA champs go dojo crashing, and roll into town looking for classical masters to combat?

Question by aelfgifu: Do they not teach the difference between “lose” and “loose” in schools any more?
“Loose” means to loosen, or to release slack, i.e., loosen the rope (or loosen your belt if you gain weight).

“Lose” means to “fail to win” or “suffer loss”.

So if you lose weight, your trousers will loosen.

Sorry, I just feel like the English language is under attack here.

Question by cnsdubie: Do they make an equestrian riding helmet with some sort of bar across the face?
I would like to start taking my grandson riding, but my daughter is a little fearful after hearing of a tragedy involving a young child dying after being kicked in the face, even though he was wearing a helmet.

So, while I know the risks are inherent, I was wondering if anybody makes a helmet with some sort of face protection?

Answer by ♥ Tippy
I know this isnt funny, but i have to laugh – i used to give lessons to a young girl. The mother was terrified shed get kicked in the face.. so i know what your going through on one hand.

For awhile i used my sons old hockey helmet. but i realised that was a bad idea as it wasnt a certified riding helmet. You can get helmets with bills further down so theres less chance.

There are caged helmets used in bull riding, but i didnt have any luck finding horsey caged helmets.

Question by PortWine: Do women realize they probably can’t train (strength, self-defense) to be able to defeat most men?
This is not meant as a gender equality question. This is a question based on the concern I have for false confidence. I saw a question asked about why feminists have trouble admitting that men are stronger, and 3/4 of the answers indicated what I consider to be a dangerous lack of understanding of muscle biology, physics, and how things actually work in self-defense scenarios. The 160 pound male couch potato will almost always be practically stronger than even a 130 pound female that works out a lot, even if she can bench or leg press more weight. He’ll also probably be able to physically dominate her if he wanted to. I have no intention of lording this fact over feminists, I simply want to inform the uninformed of this reality.
Predators do go after easier targets (unless you’re a male in a drinking establishment) , so I urge women to build their muscles and skills, but to be realistic. Oh, BTW, Bruce Lee often said that running is one of the best self-defense “techniques” around.
Randomcobweb (awesome handle BTW), you are so right, predators are often shocked when they’re attacked, and that can give a chance to get away or, less likely, incapacitate him more.

I don’t mean to be a Beeeeytoch, but could someone explain to me why it matters whether you guys are stronger or not?

You win – is that what you want to hear/read? You can lift a house – GREAT!

We can’t kick your ass (although I bet you’d be shocked at those who could).
WHY DOES IT MATTER????

EDIT – I’m sorry – I didn’t read the part about predators, and you are definitely right on with that.
Sorry – get so used to the derogatory stuff it’s like I have blinders on sometimes – my bad!!
Gotcha Swift – thanks

Question by Felicia S: What are the positions on a soccer field and what do they do?
I’m really confused, I don’t really understand soccer so well, but, I need to know the positions on a soccer field and what they do, I also need to understand the game itself, in which I don’t.

Answer by o!jeruzalem
depends on the formation…a basic 4-4-2 for example has two forwards/strikers, 4 midfielders , 4 defenders and one goalkeeper

the goalkeeper defends the goal i.e blocks or saves incoming shots

the defenders tackle and try to dispossess the opponents and make sure the forwards don’t have a chance for a shot on goal

the midfielders try to control the game and they make passes and crosses for the strikers to pounce upon..they usually come up and aid the forwards up front

as mentioned the strikers prime objective is to score goals
