Ask Diana If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, just email Ask Diana. I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

I keep hearing from my girlfriends that you think everybody should dress up to interview no matter what kind of job it is. I think it’s okay if I wear jeans to interview if it’s just a small company.

-Houston Texas Reader Why do you think that? Do you think that the company deserves less respect because it isn’t huge? You dress appropriately for interviews not only because it shows you in your best light but also because it shows that you appreciate and respect the opportunity and the company. Small companies are often more rigid about dress codes because they are determined to establish themselves in the business community and grow.

They want to be sure that clients see their employees as professional.

They know the power of the first (and second) impression.

I have been at this company for a little over 2 years is, but the position is entry level. I was unemployed for about 2 months before I started here, but before that I was in management at a large company. I am truly grateful for this opportunity and love the people here, but I wonder if it’s time to start looking for a job that fits my experience level. My current company is growing, but I need more money.

isn’t it possible that you can move up pretty quickly? I would certainly explore that because it sounds like you can be part of building this company and end up being a key player. Don’t get stressed about either decision because you are in an enviable position.

I emailed you a problem, and you emailed me your answer. I appreciate the answer, but I was hoping to see it in JobSparx.

-Bellaire, Texas Reader

-Houston, Texas Reader

There are two answers to this question. The first answer is, “Yes.” Now is a great time to start looking because you have the security of working at a company you like and because Houston is hiring. Some companies look at the most recent experience only: it’s not fair, but they do. You need to be prepared for the question of why you are no longer in the same industry. The second answer is that you need to really think about it. If you like your current company and the people,

Sometimes I have too many questions to include them all, and sometimes the questions have already been answered in a previous column. Good to hear from you again.

Have a question for Diana?

DAVE SAYS Get your priorities Leave the 401(k)

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, popular national radio personality and the author of three New York Times bestsellers – The Total Money Makeover, Financial Peace Revisited and More Than Enough. In them, Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

Ramsey knows first-hand what financial peace means in his own life, having lived living a true rags-toriches to rags-to-riches story. By age 26 he had established a $4,000,000 real estate portfolio, only to lose it by age 30. He has since rebuilt his financial life and now devotes himself full-time to helping ordinary people understand the forces behind their financial distress and how to set things right - financially, emotionally and spiritually.

Ramsey offers life-changing financial advice as host of a nationally syndicated radio program, “The Dave Ramsey Show,” which is heard by three million listeners each week on more than 300 radio stations throughout the United States. His syndicated column, “Dave Says,” can be read in more than 250 publications worldwide.

He resides with his wife, Sharon, and their three children, Denise, Rachel, and Daniel, in Nashville, Tennessee.

alone!

Dear Dave,

Dear Dave,

My husband’s company recently told everyone that massive layoffs are coming, and they should start looking for other jobs. Right now, all of his options are out-of-town. A real estate agent told us we’d have to remodel our kitchen in order to sell the house. We’ve got $3,500, but remodeling would take about $2,000. Should we get a second mortgage to get the work done?

My husband has been transferred again in his job. Right now, we have three houses and about $60,000 in other debts. He just found out that he can borrow against his 401(k) without hardship at the beginning of the year.

Is this a good idea?

Pamela Dear Pamela, You might want to get another opinion.

Sure, a new kitchen would be nice, but is that the end-all, be-all? Either way, there’s no way I’d go into debt to make this happen.

Your house isn’t even on the market yet.

There’s no reason to fix up a house that’s not for sale, especially when you only have $3,500 to your name!

There is, for sure, a financial storm brewing on your horizon. Start right now living on rice and beans and saving up piles of cash to build a bigger umbrella.

Wait until he actually lands another job before you make any big decisions. What if something pops up where you are? If you end up moving, then you might take $2,000 from savings to fix up the kitchen and get the house sold. Don’t do it unless you’re going to pay cash, though! You don’t want a second mortgage hanging over your heads, making everything even more difficult.

—Dave

Yvonne Dear Yvonne, Three houses? Do you buy a new house every time you move? You guys need to stop doing that. The “other debt” isn’t the problem. It’s those houses that are killing you!

I would never recommend that someone borrow against their 401(k) just to pay bills. It might be a different story if you were facing foreclosure or about to file bankruptcy, but that doesn’t sound like the case here. I think you’ve just made some really bad decisions, and these decisions are following you around and messing up everything else.

Most of the time in situations like this I have to say: “Sell the car!” In your case, it’s: “Sell the houses!” I know the market isn’t great in some areas, but these things are eating you guys alive. You’ve got to put some effort into getting rid of them.

Then, start living on a really tight budget and clean up the other debt!

—Dave For more financial help, visit daveramsey.com
