What is the difference between " Corel Word Perfect 10 Productivity Pack " and the " Microsoft Works 9 " ? We’re not too computer savy yet and are trying to use it to send email resume’s, but with the "Corel Word Perfect 10" it just doesn’t look very good after we put the resume on it. Someone suggested using the " Microsoft Works 9 Program ". Hope someone can help us with this . Thank You for any help .

Do yourself a favor and uninstall all that stuff.

If you want something nice, easy to use and free, download OpenOffice. It has a word processor that will allow you to create resumes and save them as Word documents that most corporations will require if you email your resume.

Or you could go out and buy Microsoft Office for 500$.

Three months back I went to visit dubai for 3 months on Visit Visa. In between this Visiting time I got a job offer and I signed an offer letter too, and I gave them all my documents copies, but just within few weeks, I got another very good job opportunity so I informed this employer by an emailed my & spoke to him face to face concenring this.
He agreed that I can go if I will replace myself therefore within two I hired a person for him and then I left. Then after few days this employer called me and asked my passport copy to cancel my case from immigration which I sent him via email. At that time I was on visit visa.
Then bfor the expiry of my Visit Visa I came back to Pakistan. Then after 3 months, now I again applied for Visit Visa but the objection came from Immigration Dept. that some company already processed my employment visa which has expired so I need to cancel it first therfore I contacted to my previous employer and asked them to cancel it but he DENIED and he asked me 15000 dhs. as my visa cost, this is shocking for me as I am financially very weak and have had no work for last 8 months.
I contacted with one of the person who is working as a PRO in Dubai. he checked online and said the company took labour Approval which must have expired by 16th July 2009. Even he told me my new Labour Approval No. 39889971 (which has expired)…But Now i can’t go to dubai to handle my case and have no money to pay to employer, how can I resolve this problem?? Then I put my complaint on e-complaint system DNRD (Dubai Govt) so the reply I got is this: "Dear Customer, We would like first of all to thank you for your complaint Totally, we agree with yourself according to the no response from our call center representatives, we are pleased to inform you that Let the PRO of the new company that you will work in their company to cancel your old visa by making a letter from any typing center and then they have to go to ( section 14 complaining section ) and they will cancel your old visa. Thank you for your complaint because we believe that complaints which coming from our customers is a gift for us to improve efficiency and effectiveness as well.. Best Regards. DNRD-DUBAI"

Now I am stuck as I don’t have any job or I don’t know any PRO who can help me. How can I resolve this issue ? can any help me?? Many thanks.
Best Regards.

There’s something I don’t understand: Why should an employer ask for a passport copy to cancel a visit visa? That just doesn’t make any sense because visit visas don’t get cancelled, they just become invalid. It sounds more, that he used your passport copy to apply for an employment visa. If this is the case, the employment visa needs to be cancelled before you can apply for a new one.

Anyway, you signed an offer letter which is as binding as a work contract. Please read what is stated regarding not fulfilling a contract and compensation paid to the employer to reimburse him for the visa costs.

May I ask what Nationality this employer is? Working on a visit visa is illegal and always bears a risk. That’s why I think that your employer applied for your employment visa.
Please be aware that in case of cancellation of the employment visa without a NOC you will receive a work ban in the UAE.

I’m a Mac User (MacBook Pro, OSX). I’d like to increase my efficiency by having my To Do List and Calendar of Appointments with me whenever I’m out. I’m assuming the program for me is iCal (It came on my MacBook….or is there another you recommend and why?).

Which PDA or PDAs synch the best with Mac such that when I’m at home I can update my To Do list on my MacBook Pro but then synch it to my PDA to have with me out and about OR when out and about add items to the PDA but then synch it to my MacBook when I get home?
Is the best one simply a PDA, or is there one (or more) that is also a Cell Phone too that you recommend? My hesitation w/ the cell phone is that I do not want to pay extra for a multimedia package that browses the Web and emails. The ONLY functionality I will use is text messaging and keeping my To Do List updated.

Why are you giving us your email address? This is an open forum. Now you’ve made your email address potentially available to thousands. If you need to contact a hotel, call them! Use Google to find the hotel and the phone number. If for some reason you can’t use a phone, if they have an email address available to the public, it would be on the site.
