Are you Worth More?
The issue that many of us moan most about, but few of us feel comfortable talking about with our bosses, is our pay. Yet research repeatedly shows that unhappiness with our pay is a significant – though by no means the only – cause of job dissatisfaction. So how do you find out what you're really worth – and then make sure your company pays you accordingly? Here are our top tips to help you make sure that you're being properly rewarded.
Working in the Music Industry
If you've ever fancied jacking in your current job and taking one up in the music industry then you've probably already discovered that it's easier said than done. Making it in music, either as an artist, promoter, plugger or some other role is notoriously competitive and fiercely demanding. Forget the after parties and free records, alpha males/female need only apply.

Check out the interview with Ministry of Sound's A&R Rep to find out more.
Nonverbal Communications: Escape the Pitfalls
It begins even before you say your first word in an interview. As the interviewer walks toward you to shake hands, an opinion is already being formed. And as you sit waiting to spew out your answers to questions you've prepared for, you are already being judged by your appearance, posture, smile or your nervous look.

Preparing what you have to say is important, but practicing how you will say it is imperative. Find out which nonverbal messages to be aware of and how to portray yourself in the best way.

Mortgage Rates Going Up or Down?

Monster Member tbush2004 wrote: I'm a first time buyer looking to buy a home in the next few months. The information available on whether mortgage rates will go up or down this year seems inconsistent. Can you shed some light on the topic and what may affect the rates?
