Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

I’m attaching a recommendation letter that I wrote for a former employee who is trying to get a new job. I figured I should run this by you since you see way more of these than I do. She had a few points she wanted me to hit - probably based on the employment ad that she saw. She was a great employee, & I would like to help her out.

-Lubbock, Texas Reader It’s an enthusiastic letter, and I think it will really help her get the job. Since she was an employee for you at a different company (that is actually no longer in business) and not your current one, you can feel free to write this letter. She is going to really appreciate your help!

I am a director at a medical facility and have just accepted a new job

at a location closer to my home at a higher salary. My assistant here is very good, and I’d like to invite her to work with me at the new company. I just don’t know what the protocol is on that. We work together so well, and I’m really going to miss her expertise.

-Pearland, Texas Reader Did you sign a non-compete agreement with your current employer? In most cases, you agree not to recruit anyone away from the company for a specific period of time. If you did not sign an agreement, you are probably free to mention the opportunity to your assistant. Don’t put the hard sell on her because she may not want to make a change.

I have written to you before about working offshore catering, Diana. Is it even feasible for anyone to obtain a work visa to work in offshore drilling in Europe or Africa?

-Richmond, Texas Reader

Hello again. You have totally exhausted my knowledge of this subject because I have never worked in Europe or in Africa. AND I am not an immigration lawyer. You need to ask someone who actually has some answers.

the clients and the products.

You’ll be a trusted employee by the time you are ready to morph into sales, and your chances of being successful will really be increased if you get this experience first.

I am interviewing for a sales assistant position, and I’m starting to realize that I would rather be the salesperson than the assistant.

The problem is that I don’t think they have any sales positions open right now, and I only have limited experience selling. I love it though.

Is there a subtle way to ask the HR recruiter about this?

Why do you need to be subtle? Have a question Just tell her/him that you are really for Diana? very interested in selling and ask askdiana@jobsparx.com if there are any current positions.

However, I think you would be in a better position to simply ask if the sales assistant position can lead to sales. Think about it: If you are the assistant, you can learn about the company and how the sales group works. The sales assistants are the people who know everything about

Dear Dave,

probability of needing it before age 60 is about one percent, so I’d wait until then to buy long-term care insurance.

This kind of insurance can make sure you get the kind of care you want in your

I’ve got auto insurance, but can you tell me declining years. Plus, it can keep your nest egg what other kinds of insurance are good to with you and your family and out of the hands of have? the nursing home!

Chris Dear Chris,

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually.

Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide.

He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

It’s also important to have auto, which you do, and homeowner’s insurance, too. If you don’t own a home, make sure you have renter’s insurance instead. Don’t forget about life insurance, either. If you’re married or have kids, you should carry eight to 10 times your yearly income in a good, 15- or 20-year level term life insurance policy. This means if you make $40,000, you should have about $400,000 wrapped up in life insurance.

Land investment Dear Dave, My wife and I make about $85,000 a year. We’re debt-free, and we have no kids. We’d like to start saving money to buy some land in the near future. What percentage of our savings should we put toward this?

Dennis Dear Dennis,

I don’t know if there’s necessarily a specific percentage for this kind of thing.

Who Is Dave Ramsey?

The purpose of insurance is to transfer risk that you can’t afford to take. Most people can’t afford to have a heart attack and triple bypass surgery. Having to pay for something like that completely out of pocket would bankrupt just about anyone. That’s why health insurance is a vital part of any good financial plan.
