9 Good Questions to Ask Recruiters Preparing For Your Interview By Biron Clark 1 COMMENT If youre looking for questions to ask recruiters youve come to the right place After working as a recruiter for 6 years Im going to share the 9 best questions to ask a recruiter in a first conversation Ill also give you my best tips on how to ask them about salary Asking these questions will help you make a great first impression but will also give you important information about the opportunity youre discussing and help you make sure the recruiter can be trusted Questions to Ask a Recruiter About the Job Question 1 How long has the position been open This is a great question to ask recruiters because it will give you a sense of how the search has been going how many candidates are in the companys pipeline etc If a position has been open for a year its tipping you off to the fact that the hiring manager is either extremely picky or nobody wants the job This is usually a red flag either way It could also mean that the hiring manager doesnt really know what heshe is looking for and keeps changing the requirements At the same time if a position has only been open for one week you can expect a delay in the hiring process even if you interview right away Hiring managers usually like to see two or three candidates face to face before making an offer Question 2 Is this position a backfill or newly created Its nice to know if a position was previously held by somebody else or if it was newly created within the organization so this is one of the best questions to ask a recruiter Theres no right or wrong answer to listen for here but knowing this type of information is helpful in understanding the big picture If this is a backfill you can follow up by asking what happened to the person that previously held the job Maybe they were promoted left the company transitioned into a new group etc Question 3 What can you tell me about the hiring manager Not only will you interview with this person but you also might report directly to them its a good idea to ask specifically whether the hiring manager is also the person youll be reporting to So its helpful to know what type of technical background the hiring manager has as well as information about hisher history within the company This information will be helpful when speaking with the hiring manager later in the interview process Question 4 What are the 3 or 4 most important skills This information should be used to assess whether or not the job will be a good fit for you If you decide its potentially a good fit use the information provided to customize a resume before sending it if you haven t submitted a resume already You should also use this information to prepare some talking points or questions before your interview Question 5 What are some reasons that other candidates havent been selected This is an essential question to ask recruiters because the hiring manager might not tell you this information later in the process This can help identify some potential mistakes that candidates have exhibited whether its on a resume or during an interview Questions to Ask Recruiters About THEIR Background This type of question is designed to find out how good they are at their job and if you should trust them and work with them These questions are especially important when working with an agency recruiter a recruiter that helps multiple employers hire people and doesnt work directly for the company youre trying to get a job at Question 6 How long have you been recruiting in this industry Listen to find out if they have substantial experience as a recruiter and in this industry Or are they new and relatively inexperienced and therefore less knowledgeable and less likely to get you hired Question 7 What is your relationship with the hiring manager The best recruiters will have a direct line of communication with the hiring manager They talk frequently and work closely together on the hiring process This isnt 100 required and youll find some good recruiters out there that work more with a companys HR department It depends a bit on the type and level of job youre pursuing but this is still worth asking and finding out Question 8 How often do you communicate with this hiring manager This is similar to the question above Asking recruiters this question will tell you even more information about how closely they work with this company and therefore how much they can influence the process and help you get the job Youll want to listen for clues about how often and how they communicate For example do they have the hiring manager on instant messenger Or do they exchange one email per month and barely know each other Question 9 What is your companys relationship with the hiring company and how long has your firm worked with them This will tell you more about whether the hiring company trusts this recruiter and is likely to hire from them These are all questions you should ask a recruiter that works for a staffing or recruiting agency Youll learn a lot of key facts and youll also get a sense of their personality and confidence based on how they answer In the end trust your gut and work with a few good recruiters that seem to enjoy their work and know it well Bonus How to Ask a Recruiter about Salary You dont want to seem like you only care about salary in a first conversation but you also dont want to waste your time if the position would be a step down in pay either So Id recommend asking in terms of salary do you have a general range in mind for the position This is a very casual nonthreatening way to ask It sounds better than saying What does the position pay Id never recommend asking that in a first conversation One other good option is to offer them some information about your recent pay and see how they react For example you could say My most recent base salary was X and Im hoping to receive an increase in my next role Does that fit into the range thats been set for this role They might say yes which is great or they might say no and save you some time They might also say no but mention that theres a more seniorlevel position that could pay better Overall the choice is yours you dont NEED to tell them your salary and a lot of people feel this is private info But its just one option available to you to help you quickly figure out if this job is worth pursuing Always be Ready to Talk to a Recruiter Even if you never seek out help from a recruiter you might still find yourself interacting with them if they contact you and thats where knowing the best questions to ask recruiters can come in handy If you ask recruiters these 9 questions youll seem highlyprepared youll learn information that you can use to give great interview answers when you talk to the hiring manager and youll make sure the recruiter is someone you want to work with Previous Post Interview Tips 5 Basic Steps to Prepare for a Job Interview Next

What is CARMs position on Calvinism by Matt Slick CARMs official position is that Calvinism is within orthodoxy Writers for CARM include Calvinists and nonCalvinists Calvinism is the teaching summarized in what is called the five points TULIP Total Depravity Unconditional Election Limited Atonement Irresistible Grace Perseverance of the Saints Total depravity Man is completely touched by sin in all that he is but is not as bad as he could be Furthermore this total depravity means that the unregenerate will not of their own free will choose to receive Christ Unconditional Election God elects a person based upon nothing in that person because there is nothing in him that would make him worthy of being chosen Rather Gods election is based on what is in God God chose us because He decided to bestow His love and grace upon us not because we are worthy in and of ourselves of being saved Limited Atonement Christ bore the sin only of the elect not everyone who ever lived Irresistible Grace The term unfortunately suggests a mechanical and coercive force upon an unwilling subject This is not the case Instead it is the act of God making the person willing to receive Him It does not mean that a person can not resist Gods will It means that when God moves to the saveregenerate a person that the sinner can not thwart Gods movement and he will be regenerated Perseverance of the Saints That we are so secure in Christ that we can not fall away There are godly Christian theologians on both sides of these five points some agreeing and some disagreeing with them But we are to remain humble and tolerant of those within Christianity who dont agree with us on the issues of nonessentials Rom 14112 The essentials of the faith the deity of Christ the Trinity the virgin birth justification by faith alone Jesus physical resurrection etc are not listed in these five points Therefore Christians are free to affirm or deny these teachings and still remain within the Christian faith About The Author Matt Slick is the President and Founder of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry

Did Jesus talk about homosexuality by Matt Slick There is nothing recorded in the four Gospels where Jesus specifically mentions homosexuality the way Paul did in 1 Cor 69 But he does condemn it indirectly by affirming the Old Testament standard of heterosexual marriage as well as citing Old Testament references of condemnation where homosexuality was involved Lets take a look at some of the things he said Matthew 1015 Truly I say to you it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city Matthew 1946 And He answered and said Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female 5 and said For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh What therefore God has joined together let no man separate Matt 199 And I say to you whoever divorces his wife except for immorality and marries another woman commits adultery Mark 101112 And He said to them Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her 12 and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man she is committing adultery John 54647 For if you believed Moses you would believe Me for he wrote of Me 47 But if you do not believe his writings how will you believe My words We see Jesus condemnation of Sodom and Gomorrah Matthew 1015 and we know that homosexuality was involved in those two cities We see Jesus confirming the heterosexual marriage pattern by citing where God made Adam and Eve male and female Matthew 1946 Jesus mentions divorce in the context of male and female Matthew 199 Mark 101112 not male and male or female and female And Jesus supported the teachings of Moses John 54647 in which a clear condemnation of homosexuality is taught in such verses as Leviticus 1822 2013 So even though Jesus did not specifically mention the act of homosexuality he supported the Old Testament including its condemnation of homosexuality and reiterated that marriage is between a man and a woman So did he condemn homosexuality Yes he did by affirming heterosexuality as the norm and the God ordained definition of marriage About The Author Matt Slick is the President and Founder of the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry

Overview Is the 2014 Fiat 500 a Good Used Car With very low average prices and gokartlike maneuverability the Fiat 500 is a good buy for those who are on a tight budget or drive mostly in the city If youre looking for more engaging driving dynamics the performanceoriented Fiat 500 Abarth should impress However the 500 doesnt have the nicest interior or many modern convenience features Used 2014 Fiat 500 Performance and Interior The 2014 Fiat 500 is powered by a fourcylinder MultiAir engine that puts out a paltry 101 horsepower In line with the 500s mission as a small city car this engine has just enough pep for scooting around town The frontwheeldrive 500 is also available with two turbocharged engines the first makes 135 horsepower and the zippy Abarth engine is good for 160 horsepower While the midrange engine is more capable than the base offering it can experience some turbo lag Conversely the 500 Abarth takes off quickly when you hit the gas and has no problem getting up to The 500 easily moves through tight city traffic and its small size makes it a breeze to park Theres some noticeable body lean when cornering but Fiat 500 Sport and Turbo models have a sporttuned suspension that improves handling The 500 also maintains a comfortable ride quality over most roads Read more about 500 performance The Fiat 500 has room for four on standard cloth seats though some models may have leather upholstery or heated front seats Two taller adults can comfortably sit up front Fiat lowered the passenger seat for 2014 which resulted in more headroom In comparison the rear seats are essentially unusable for anyone but children There are two complete sets of LATCH carseat connectors in the 500 Standard features in the 2014 500 include a leatherwrapped steering wheel Bluetooth and a USB port Optional equipment includes automatic climate control satellite radio a premium stereo navigation rear parking sensors and a sunroof Dashboard controls are laid out in a

500 reliability How Safe Is the 500 The 2014 500 has aboutaverage crash test scores for a subcompact car It earned four out of five stars overall from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration with four stars in the rollover and frontal crash tests and five stars in the side crash test The 500 also earned the highest rating of Good in four Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests but it received the lowest possible score in the small overlap front test Rear parking sensors are the only driver assistance feature available in the 500 See 500 safety scores Should I Consider Another Used 500 The Fiat 500 was introduced to the North American market for the 2012 model year The biggest change during the cars first few years was the introduction of the midrange 500 Turbo for 2013 Opting for a 2012 or 2013 500 will get you mostly the same features as the 2014 model but for less money Compare the 2012 2013 and 2014 500 Which Used Fiat 500 Is Right for Me The 2014 Fiat 500 is available in hatchback and convertible Fiat 500C body styles and five trims Pop Sport Lounge Turbo and Abarth The Fiat 500e is an electric version If you prioritize performance go with the dynamic 500 Abarth It has a more potent powertrain than both the humble base engine and the midrange Turbo model However if you dont need loads of power under the hood the 500 Lounge is a nice balance of price and features It includes automatic climate control satellite radio and an Alpine premium stereo Some Lounge models may also have features like rear parking sensors leather upholstery and heated seats Because of the 500s low reliability rating you may want to consider a certified preowned model For certified preowned Fiat vehicles the original newcar powertrain warranty is extended to seven years or 100000 miles CPO vehicles also get a threemonth3000mile Maximum Coverage Care warranty There are restrictions related to mileage and models so read the Fiat warranty page carefully Read

redesigned 2014 Mini Cooper also has a retro European appearance Aside from that and a subpar reliability rating these two quirky subcompact cars have little in common The Mini tops the class in overall performance with its range of strong turbocharged engines and agile handling Performance enthusiasts should consider a Cooper S or John Cooper Works edition they offer a more thrilling drive than the 500 Abarth The Mini Coopers interior also makes it a better buy over the 500 It features upmarket materials like standard leatherette seating along with amenities that arent available in the 500 such as a rearview camera and an infotainment system Though it will cost more the Mini Cooper is a better choice Which Is Better 2014 Fiat 500 or 2014 Chevrolet Sonic The 2014 Chevrolet Sonic gets slightly better reliability scores than the 500 and it earns commendable crash test ratings Like the 500 the Sonic has a capable yet tame base engine and an available turbocharged engine that delivers better performance The Sonic also excels as a comfortable daily driver Even the back seat boasts a good amount of passenger room for a small car and used models can be found with modern amenities like an infotainment system The Sonic is one of the best subcompact cars you can buy Compare the 500 Cooper and Sonic Best 2014 Subcompact Cars 1 2014 Toyota Prius c 10459 12583 AVG PAID 2 2014 Chevrolet

ride is bumpy and most competitors are more fuelefficient Pros Cons Ample cargo room Spacious cabin Weak engine Poor fuel economy Stiff bumpy ride Cheap cabin materials New for 2015 Rearview camera

Photos 2015 Scion xB Overview Is the 2015 Scion xB a Good Used Car Overall the xB is a pretty mediocre compact car especially compared to rivals that offer a lot more bang for the buck The xBs generous passenger and cargo room may seem appealing but youll sacrifice a lot for that space The xBs performance is lackluster and the cabin is fitted with cheap materials The xB also earns lower safety scores than most compact cars Used 2015 Scion xB Performance and Interior The xB performs best in city driving with brisk acceleration from a stop and good maneuverability to dart through traffic At higher speeds the xBs fourcylinder engine feels taxed Neither the standard manual transmission nor the available automatic are particularly satisfactory The manual feels unrefined when shifting and the automatic hesitates to change gears when more power is needed The xB gets 22 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway which is lower than most rivals gas mileage The xBs precise steering helps it feel maneuverable and composed but many competitors feel more athletic Its ride is Read more about xB performance The cabin has straightforward styling but many of the xBs interior surfaces are covered in lowrent hard plastics In contrast several competitors have more softtouch materials The xBs boxy body shape means it has ample head and legroom for adults in both rows of seats Visibility to the rear is limited by the large roof supports The xB has LATCH connectors in the second row to securely install child safety seats The xB is fairly wellequipped standard features include a touchscreen infotainment system a Pioneer audio system Bluetooth a USB port and HD Radio A few dealerinstalled extras are available like navigation smartphone integration and a BeSpoke sound system The infotainment system has attractive graphics and the center stack controls are all easy enough to use The gauge cluster is mounted in the middle of the dashboard out of the drivers line of sight so checking your speed requires glancing more to the right than you might expect The xB has one of the largest cargo capacities in the class 699 compact SUVs Read more about xB interior Used 2015 Scion xB Prices You can expect to pay around 14000 for an xB with a manual transmission and around 15000 for a model with an automatic transmission Exact pricing depends on each vehicles

below average for the compact car class Read more about xB reliability How Safe Is the xB The xB earned the highest safety rating of Good in four Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests and a Marginal score in the fifth The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration only put the xB through one test in which the model earned four out of five stars Many competitors in the compact car class have higher safety ratings A standard rearview camera is the xBs only available safety feature See xB safety scores Should I Consider Another Used xB The 2015 xB was the final model year before the xB was discontinued There are a few minor differences between the 2015 xB and previous model years For example the rearview camera was optional prior to 2015 and the touchscreen infotainment system was optional prior to 2014 Compare the 2013 2014 and 2015 xB Which Used Scion xB Is Right for Me The xB is available in one trim level so you only need to decide if you want a manual or automatic transmission Some Scion models are covered under a certified preowned program available through Toyota dealerships Scion provides a oneyear12000mile limited warranty on all certified preowned vehicles and it extends the original newcar powertrain warranty to seven years or 100000 miles Each CPO Scion must pass a 160point inspection Additional benefits like towing and roadside assistance may be available so read the Scion warranty page carefully Read more about certified preowned vehicles 2015 Scion xB and Other Cars to Consider Which Is Better 2015 Scion xB or 2015 Kia Soul If you like the xBs funky boxy shape consider buying the Kia Soul instead It has a similar look but is an overall better car than the xB The Souls cabin is roomy like the xBs but upscale materials cover most surfaces The Soul has fewer standard features but significantly more available features than the xB It also earns higher safety and reliability scores On the performance front the Soul has a smooth composed ride and its larger available engine has a bit more grunt than the xBs sole powertrain Which Is Better 2015 Scion xB or 2015 Honda Fit We named the Honda Fit our 2015 Best Hatchback for the Money and for good reason The Fit checks nearly every box necessary to be a versatile daily driver While its exterior design is more staid than the xBs its ride is comfortable and controlled and its engine feels peppy and gets excellent fuel economy Inside there are topnotch materials useful cabin features and generous passenger and cargo space The Fit beats the xB in safety and reliability as well Which Is Better 2015 Scion xB or 2015 Mazda3 The Mazda3 isnt quite as roomy as the xB it comes as a sedan and in a more traditional hatchback body style than the xBs boxy design Still we think the Mazda3 is a better buy for most used car shoppers The Mazda pairs a very upscale cabin and useful features with some of the most athletic performance you can get in a small car It also has brisk acceleration aboveaverage gas mileage and lithe handling Compare the xB Soul and Fit Best 2015 Compact Cars 1 2015 Honda Civic 12543 18290 AVG PAID 1 2015 Toyota Prius 14700

FindLaw Caselaw United States US 3rd Cir HOLLEY v DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS HOLLEY v DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS A A Font size United States Court of AppealsThird Circuit Evelyn O HOLLEY Appellant v DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS Hershel Gober Acting Secretary No 985052 Decided January 21 1999 Before SLOVITER ROTH and ROSENN Circuit Judges OPINION OF THE COURT Evelyn Holley who filed a pro se complaint alleging violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by her employer the Department of Veterans Affairs appeals from the District Courts sua sponte dismissal of her complaint The case raises an issue of the effect of a motion for reconsideration filed by a federal employee with the EEOC on the time to file a court action 1 I Holley is a federal employee with the East Orange New Jersey Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center DVA During the past ten years Holley filed several complaints with the EEOC alleging that she was the subject of sexbased and retaliatory discrimination and harassment in the workplace The four complaints relevant to this appeal were consolidated for investigation and proceedings at the agency level Agency Nos 922091 932846 933295 and 940085 In those complaints Holley alleged that she was the subject of discrimination because 1 in May 1993 she was not selected for the VAFY94 Associate Director Training Program 2 in 2 The DVA adopted the findings of an EEOC administrative law judge who determined that there was insufficient evidence of discrimination to support the claims in Holleys complaints Holley received notice of the DVAs final decision on November 24 1994 Holley filed an appeal to the EEOC which dismissed her appeal with respect to all four complaints as untimely filed Appeal No 01952467 Holley received notice of the EEOCs dismissal as well as notice of her right to sue in federal court on July 21 1995 On July 28 1995 Holley filed a request with the EEOC for reconsideration of its On November 10 1997 before the EEOC ruled on her pending request for reconsideration Holley commenced this action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 42 USC 2000e16 by filing a pro se complaint in the district court Holley attached to her complaint a copy of the EEOCs decision dismissing her appeals as untimely filed On November 13 1997 three days after Holley filed her complaint in the district court the EEOC issued a decision granting in part Holleys request for reconsideration The EEOC found that although three of her appeals were properly dismissed as untimely filed By order entered December 29 1997 before service of Holleys complaint upon the defendant the District Court dismissed the complaint sua sponte as timebarred The court noted that a Title VII action must be commenced within 90 days of the date on which the plaintiff received notice that the EEOC dismissed the appeal The court found that plaintiff filed the present action approximately 27 months after receipt of the EEOCs decision and Notice of Right to Sue Her Complaint is long timebarred and must be dismissed Holley timely filed this appeal We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 USC 1291 Our review is plenary See Robinson v Dalton 107 F3d 1018 102022 3d Cir1997 II The District Court made no mention of and failed to consider the effect that Holleys timely filed request for EEOC reconsideration had upon her time for filing her court action Under the EEOCs regulations a federal employee may file a civil action in federal court 1 within 90 days of receipt of the EEOCs final decision on the appeal or 2 after 180 days from the date of filing an appeal with the EEOC if at that time the EEOC has yet to issue a final decision See 29 CFR 1614408c d A party to a federal employees EEOC appeal When a reconsideration request is timely filed the EEOCs decision on appeal becomes final only when that request is granted or denied See 29 CFR 1614405b1 providing that an EEOC decision on appeal is final unless either party files a timely request for reconsideration pursuant to 1614407 Robbins v Bentsen 41 F3d 1195 1198 7th Cir1994 Decisions issued onEEOC appeals are considered final decisions within the meaning of 1614408 unless there is a motion for reconsideration Briggs v Henderson 11 FSupp2d 727 DConn1998 The Postal Services request for reconsideration of the EEOC Decision however rendered the EEOCs action nonfinal Metsopulos Thus a straightforward reading of the applicable regulations leads to the conclusion that a federal employees timely filed request for reconsideration tolls the 90day deadline for filing suit in federal court This conclusion accords with the holdings of the other courts of appeals that have addressed the issue See Belhomme v Widnall 127 F3d 1214 121617 10th Cir1997 This circuit has held that a timely petition for reconsideration will toll the filing deadline for a suit in district court but an untimely petition will have no tolling effect Rowe v Sullivan 967 F2d 186 190 5th Cir1992 The filing of In its opinion in Metsopulos the District Court noted that before the EEOC adopted the 1992 regulation 29 CFR 1614405b1 the circuits had split on the question whether a request for reconsideration of an EEOC decision rendered the first decision nonfinal See 918 FSupp at 861 n 5 With the 1992 regulation the EEOC opted to follow the rule of the Sixth and DC Circuits in Donaldson and Nordell and to reject that of the Ninth and Fourth Circuits in Mahroom v Defense Language Institute 732 F2d 1439 1440 9th Cir1984denial of appeal by EEOC was final decision unaltered by Holleys complaint alleges and the record reflects that her request for reconsideration was timely filed as it was within 30 days of her receipt of the EEOCs decision dismissing her appeal Consequently the 90day limitations period on the filing of her suit in the district court was tolled Belhomme 127 F3d at 121617 Rowe 967 F2d at 190 When Holley filed her complaint in the district court on November 10 1997 the EEOC had yet to render a final decision on her appeal as her request for reconsideration was still pending See 29 CFR 1614405b1 decision on appeal is not Our decision in McCray v Corry Mfg Co 61 F3d 224 3d Cir1995 does not compel a contrary decision In McCray the issue presented was whether a timely request for EEOC reconsideration filed by a privatesector employee tolled her time to file an ADEA complaint in the district court We held that it did not Id at 229 We hold that merely requesting reconsideration of an EEOC Determination does not toll the ninety day statute of limitations controlling the filing of a civil action We noted that there is no federal regulation governing a privatesector employees request for EEOC reconsideration Significantly in McCray we did not consider the import of a federal employees timely request for reconsideration which is governed by a different set of federal regulations Holley is a federal employee and as we explained above under the regulations that govern suits by federal employees her timely request for reconsideration tolled the 90day period for filing suit in the district court 3 The fact that the EEOC granted in part Holleys request for reconsideration three days after she filed this action in the district court does not change the result By the time the EEOC found that her appeal with respect to one of her four underlying complaints should not have been dismissed as untimely filed and ruled against her on the merits of that appeal Holleys complaint had been timely filed In fact under the regulations once Holley filed her action the EEOC lost any authority to consider her request for reconsideration See 29 CFR 1614410 filing a civil action shall terminate Commission processing of the appeal Accordingly the EEOCs subsequent ruling on Holleys reconsideration request had no effect See Briggs 11 FSupp2d at 728 finding that under 1614410 the filing of this civil action terminated the processing of plaintiffs appeal including the request for reconsideration 4 We note that Holleys complaint invoked 42 USC 2000e5 the provision that applies generally to privatesector employers under which her suit would be untimely rather than 2000e16 the provision applicable to discrimination claims by federal employees Because Holley is pursuing her action pro se we have an obligation to read her pleadings liberally See Haines v Kerner 404 US 519 52021 92 SCt 594 30 LEd2d 652 1972 We apply the applicable law irrespective of whether a pro se litigant has mentioned it by name See Small v Lehman 98 F3d 762 766 3d Cir1996 Lewis v Attorney General of III For the foregoing reasons the judgment of the District Court will be reversed and the case remanded for proceedings consistent with this opinion FOOTNOTES 1 This matter is submitted on appellants brief only The Office of the United States Attorney initially entered an appearance on behalf of the appellee but then withdrew its appearance before filing a brief 2 Holleys complaints are not part of the record on appeal and this recitation of the issues that she presented was gleaned from other documents in the record It is unclear on the present record whether additional claims were presented in the complaints at issue 3 We note the difference in treatment in this connection between the regulations applicable to federal employees and those applicable to private sector claimants but that is an issue for Congress or the EEOC 4 It has come to our attention that on July 16 1998 this court issued a per curiam Opinion in No 985051 affirming the District Courts dismissal of a different Title VII complaint that Holley had filed The procedural facts there were indistinguishable from those in the present case as the District Court had dismissed Holleys complaint sua sponte as untimely filed despite the fact that Holley noted in her complaint that she had filed a timely request for reconsideration with the EEOC If Holley wishes to pursue those claims she may file a motion to recall the mandate in 985051 SLOVITER Circuit Judge
