Wake-Up Call With Bill Lundun & Gerry Snyder

Pet of the Week - Lucky Paws

Introducing Darsey.  This lovely lady came to us with her 6 pups from the San Jose area.  She was a fantastic mother and now its her turn to find her happily ever after!  Darsey is a young girl, somewhere between a year and a half and two years old.  We think she could be a German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois mix.  Darsey weighs about 64 pounds.  She has done well with other dogs and has yet to meet a stranger when it comes to people.   Darsey will need continued training to help make her the best family member she can be!!  She is an energetic girl who wants to be your next running or hiking partner.  If you have an active lifestyle and are looking for your next adventure buddy,  Darsey would love to apply.  No apartments for this beautiful girl and a fenced yard is preferred.
 
Dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated & dewormed.
Adoption fee: $395 (2.7% charge if using a card)

Richard Barrington - Buy Now Pay Later

FINANCIAL EXPERT WARNS AGAINST THE HIDDEN TRAPS OF 'BUY NOW, PAY LATER' SERVICES
Expert recommends avoiding multiple BNPL loans and watching for automatic payment pitfalls.  Using "buy now, pay later" (BNPL) has become increasingly common in recent years as people look to split up and finance purchases they make.   According to Credit Sesame financial analyst Richard Barrington, some key steps people should take as they utilize BNPL include budgeting beforehand, reviewing the terms of the plan, determining what fees could be associated and being prepared for automatic payments.  "If you need BNPL to be able to pay for something, you have to question how you’re going to come up with the money to make the BNPL payments when they come due," he said, noting budgeting ahead of time can help someone figure out if they can foot the bill for what they’re buying and any debt they could build up because of it.  He recommended reviewing what income will come in "over the term of the BNPL payments" and then subtracting "all the essential expenses you’ll have during that time" to help "see if you’ll have enough left over to cover BNPL payments."

Brandy Schade - Degree Requirements

SURVEY: 1 IN 4 EMPLOYERS SAY THEY’LL ELIMINATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS BY YEAR’S END A quarter of employers surveyed said they will remove bachelor’s degree requirements for some roles by the end of 2025, according to a May 20 report from Resume Templates. In addition, 7 in 10 hiring managers said their company looks at relevant experience over a bachelor’s degree while making hiring decisions. In the survey of 1,000 hiring managers, 84% of companies that recently removed degree requirements said it has been a successful move. Companies without degree requirements also reported a surge in applications, a more diverse applicant pool and the ability to offer lower salaries. Among employers that eliminated degree requirements, two-thirds did so for entry-level roles, 54% for mid-level roles and 23% for senior-level roles. About half of hiring managers said “a lot” of their roles still require a bachelor’s degree, while 1% said none do. Forty-two percent of hiring managers said Generation Z should prioritize gaining job experience over a degree. Hiring managers also said practical skills related to artificial intelligence tools and soft skills, such as strong interpersonal and communication skills, are important.
