It’s expensive so be prepared for overcharged food

This may sound dumb, but are all the cars manual?

@A2 nope! You have to pay a little extra for automatic. Got a 4 wheel drive small SUV and it was great

Rejkavik is NOT close to Kevlavik airport. Be prepared to drive about 45 min to an hour. Roads are very narrow and close down completely with little to no warning, especially in winters. Northern lights require very little overcast so it all depends on your weather that weekend. Food is very very expensive as is pretty much everting. Beautiful place but just be prepared

I have a LOT of credit card debt. It has just grown over time and I can’t find my way out. I’m considering debt consolidation, specifically a company called National Debt Relief which seems legit but I’m just so hesitant because I’m scared to make my situation worse. Or a personal loan to pay off all the CC debt and then have a smaller all in one payment. I’m intelligent and I work in finance, it’s so embarrassing. HELP.

Hi guys.. i just need some advice.. i have given the interview in p&o. The interview got over before time that made me doubt that they dont want to consider me. At last i was asked if i am open to travel or not. Should I take it as a positive sign and wait.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!

From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
