I have prolonged this overhaul for long enough. I plan on adding a few more features later but I am bidding farewell to the Schmooze. Many people will ask why but the truth is .....NOBODY talks on that thing. I figure I can provide you all with the same information without making you all feel obligated to chatter. I will still provide leads daily, just follow me on Twitter. With the overall changes, it should be very easy to track my Tweets!

Bottom line, you guys will get all of the same information just in a neat little package! Thank you all for all of your support. I hope you love the new look!

Its time for a new tradition. HOT LEAD FRIDAY! This is the day I choose a nice lead that might be hot for anyone or hot for one particular area. Either way it goes, this is a hot job lead that allows you to work at home. There are still great leads posted in the Schmooze, but the hot lead is usually a job lead that stood out to me for one reason or another. Enjoy searching through the leads on the Schmooze and all the savings and work at home news.

Expertly Answered is a web-business that only employs highly qualified experts in every conceivable field to answer questions from paying customers. We are launching our site July 2009.

Forum administrators will manage their team of Experts as well as answer questions. Experts will answer questions in their field of expertise.

When you need a professional, wouldn’t it be nice to just go to a website, type in your question, and receive a response from a professional for a small fee? Have you ever had to call several professionals only to describe your problem over and over? What if you could type it once and send it to someone who is already online and immediately available?

Expertly Answered will meet all of those needs, but with enormous advantages over other Question and Answer (Q&A) sites. Expertly Answered has incorporated all the latest technology for use by the professional to communicate with their customer.

• Want a consult with a Medical Doctor about your adult acne? Use Skype to show them.
• Just need a quick answer to a straightforward question? IM them.
• Do you want a detailed email sent to you? Email them.
• Or, perhaps you are a chef, or a woodworker who can archive videos for people to view, or articles for people to read for a small fee.

Skype, IM, Email, video archives, web articles- all on your own custom page.
As a professional on the site, you can set your own hours and set your own fees.

Hobbyists, dog lovers, American Sign Language interpreters, chefs, librarians – all at our disposal, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Also, for all my adoring fans who were able to catch today's podcast:
STAR is an acronym for Situation or Task, Action You Took, and Results you achieved! STAR is a technique you can use to answer those tough interview questions. If a prospective employer asks a question, these are tips for answering those questions in the most effective manner. Think of these as Cliff Notes or Barron's....okay showing my age, let's get started:

Situation or Task: In this step explain to the employer a specific situation or task you had to complete in order to accomplish a specific goal. Give DETAILS and make sure its clear enough for employers to understand.

ACTION You Took: This is the time for you to BRAG! Tell the employer what actions you took to accomplish the for mentioned goal. You want to say what YOU did and not focus too much on others who might have helped you along the way. This is the time for you to be the SUPERHERO in the story so go for it!

Results You Achieved: In this step you can tell them how you saved the day, accomplished the major task, or learned from the Situation or Task in which you took Action to achieve the maximum Results!
