We have a 6ft wood fence that faces a street and we would like to put some shrubs or trees along the fence line for privacy. Anything that will grow from 6-10ft will do. Any suggestions on what shrubs would be a good fit? The fence line is about 40ft across. ...

| A hiring company requesting compensation history **Updated OP** - Htown Tiger on 4/10/13 at 10:19 am
Has anyone ever been asked to provide a hiring company's HR department (i.e. prior to them finalizing an offer to you) your past 2-3 years of compensation (salary+bonus+stock+etc)? I just recently was, and am a little curious about the rationalization behind it. For an opportunity that's a pretty ni...

Been over 4 weeks since my second, all day long interview and either a) the company hasn't made a decision, or b) they did and the recruiting agency is just moving on. This person really wasn't "my recruiter", but more of a headhunting service that this particular company utilizes all the time. I'm ...

| Are 'Thank you' emails expected at every level? - Htown Tiger on 1/29/13 at 10:27 am
I understand sending them when you're a college student interviewing for a job. I also understand them when you've been in the industry a couple of year and are interviewing for that next step up, be it a Senior position or even a Manager level. It's more of a formality than anything else, and reall...

I'll try to be as succinct as possible:

2) I call a week and half later looking for an update, and they sa...

Preferably, I'd like to sell these shares in 2013 to not have to worry about them for 2012 tax purposes, but if I wait till 2013, I will be subject to a 20% tax on ...

Yes, this was listed under the Salad section.
