How much do oil companies pay for the oil they pump from federal lands?

October 312009

How much of a wind fall would these oil companies have if allowed to drill on the much talked about Alaskan wild life preserve.

The market price. Should have happened a long time ago. Then we would be using it now. But thanks to shortsighted politicians we aren’t.

Whats it like to work in the Natural gas company?

October 312009

Friend has a friend that hires for Chesapeake the natural gas company, hires people with any or no experience at $20 an hour, since they giving so much an hour w/o experience i know its got to be 1 hell of a hard job.

If i get lucky and get the job i know ill be outside probably building something to get the gas with, does anyone know what id be doing?

Chesapeake is an independent oil and natural gas company that is and has been extremely successful to at least the past 2 decades. No, i do not work for them…….. Their primary function is oil and gas exploration and production. They may have downstream gas distribution capabilities, but i am more aware of their upstream activities.

From the limited information you have provided ($20/hr and no experience), i am assuming that you would either be in the pipeline gang with the function of installing pipeline or in a roustabout gang doing routine maintenance on machinery and such. It is hard work, but it is rewarding work financially. And Chesapeake is WELL KNOWN and jobs with them are highly desired.

If you are lucky enough to get an interview with them, wear work clothes, steel toed boots and have a pair of cotton gloves and your lunch pail with you…… that impresses the field managers. and DONT ask about days off, holidays and vacations….. let them tell YOU when they are (they are fair, but when the first question someone asks is…… when do i get off, can i take off such and such a date, etc, red flags and sirens go off in managers heads…….)

Good luck….. it is a hard job, but if you have the moxie, you will be glad you did it……. and if counts? Been there, done that and GLAD I DID!

How much does general commercial/ business insurance cost for a start up Ltd Company?

October 312009

The Ltd Company is based in the UK, has traded for about 6 months, has 2 Directors who work there full time and 2 interns who operate from the office premises.
What is the approximate cost for business insurance for such a Company?

You will need to contact an Insurance Broker. Each business had different needs. My business was catering, so our Insurance would be different than an office based one.

How do I ask for a raise from a company that isn’t doing well?

October 312009

I know the economy is in bad shape. I work in a creative field in a city that is not very big so my job is hard to find and keep. And the company isn’t doing very well, even though it wastes a lot of money on very unnecessary things. My boss has been clear that I am indispensable, but my Christmas bonus was a joke. And I am way overdue for a raise.
Should I even bother asking for a raise? Or just leave town and head for the east or west coast?

Can I have a raise?

What are some applications for company phone directory?

October 312009

What are some applications that companies use for their phone directory? Say you dial to HP and want to speak with Mr. Smith, the operators uses some tool to locate this person fairly quickly, dept. title, office location, home phone, work phone, etc.

I’m looking for a web-based asp phone directory, do you they’re good? Or should I use some windows based applications? Thanks.

Most organisations if they are using Windows Normally have something that is called Active Directory (comes with the Server versions of Windows).

The Active Directory (AD) is whats used to store all the users, username, pass, title, name, address, department, telephone number etc so its easily searched / accessible.

The actual phone system is seperated but most likely linked to AD but AD is what you are probably thinking of.

It comes free with Windows Server 2003/2000, to install you’d just click start>run and type dcpromo!

Does anyone know of a marketing company with the below business model?

October 312009

I am interested in finding out if there are existing companies that specialize in marketing via capitalizing on their existing relationships with high-end buyers or large corporations. Example: an ex-trainer for the NFL starts a company selling marketing to auto companies based on his relationships with varied NFL players. Example: an ex-CEO starts a company selling marketing to technology companies based on his relationships with other high-level executives at large corporations.

This form of marketing is soft marketing and many companies use this method to sell. Networking with already established contacts for the benefit of the company.

What should I major if I want to go into pharmaceutical research or cosmetic research company?

October 312009

I am deciding what to major, since I want to have a career in a science research company or cosmetic research company? Which one suits better, chemistry or biology?

Definitely chemistry or chemical engineering. I am an intern at a pharmaceutical company now. It really helps to get a doctorate in chemistry as well. Otherwise with a bachelors or master’s you will just be doing experiments in the lab while the PhD chemist does all the "brain" work.

what happens if a company/ corporation still operates after being adminstratively dissolved?

October 312009

due to no annual report in FL? Can that company still legally operate even if it hasn’t been reinstated or filed a new corporation?

Corporate activities post dissolution are considered de facto corporations meaning they operate without benefit of the corporate laws. The individuals engaged in continuing operations become individually responsible for all "corporate" liabilities including but not limited to taxes, payroll, labor and general business debts and obligations. NOTE- The corporation may no longer be a recognized entity in any Court of law as either a plaintiff or defendant. Secretaries of State issue certificates of standing that will issue to prove or disprove corporate status. If you are engaged in litigation with a de facto corporation be sure you have possession of such a certificate to show the Court at the beginnings of proceedings.
