job search ... to seek a job;
a job hunt. Salary.com has
a job-search-related glossary
job security:
... an expression which generally means being free
from the fear of job loss. Activities surrounding job security can be double-edged
sword. For example, continuing education and training to keep
current with technological changes that affect one's job can be a smart
thing to do. On the other hand, participating in a group effort to keep
jobs in place beyond the point where there is reason for them to exist
can create conflicting or contrasting positions between employees and
employers not
a good situation! There are two truths that job holders must understand:
(1) the voice
of the customer speaks loudest in the long term; and, (2) independence
from the fear is better achieved through a certain amount of free-agent attitude
and positioning rather than going along with the politics of job
welfare.
job welfare:
... application of supplemental financial or other
aid provided by a source outside of an employer's control which sustains
an employee's work assignment or position; support provided to retain
a type of job within an enterprise for
which there is no longer a purpose. Retention of a union fireman
in the cab of a diesel locomotive is a classic example of an worker on
job welfare. One course of opportunity for those who face job
insecurity (see the meaning of job security)
due to changes in the industry or field in which they work is to pursue
the entrepreneurial
spirit. See Appendix
E of the glossary you are using.
joint and several liability:
... a situation in which two or more parties are liable
for repayment of a debt or obligation and a creditor can be compensated
from them either individually or jointly.
joint venture:
... an undertaking involving risk in which two are
more parties agree to face the potential uncertainty of shared loss in
the hope of shared profit.
judgment lien:
... a purely statutory general lien (the legal right
to keep or sell someone else's property as a security for a debt) on
real and personal property belonging to a debtor.
judicial foreclosure:
... a means by which a mortgagee's (borrower's) right
to redeem is taken away through a court-supervised sale of real property.
junk mail:
... postal material delivered but disposed of as trash
by the recipient; worthless solicitations and marketing refuse handled
in a postal system; a mass mailing that only financially benefits the
go-between, such as an advertising agency, because it produces no significant
return for its sender, the advertiser, and is trashed by recipients;
bulk mail that wastes resources. Junk
e-mail is defined in essentially the same ways, except it includes spam and
other electronic distributions by cyberthugs.
Junk emails are a serious problem for Internet users.
jurat:
... a clause written at the bottom of an affidavit
by a notary public stating when, where and before whom the affidavit
was sworn.
jurisdiction:
... the range of legal authority or power to act to
enforce or pronounce judgments in a given area; an area defined by the
authority granted to an individual or group with power to judge and/or
enforce.
