The nerves and stress of the interview process are quickly replaced by excitement and relief when you receive a job offer. You deserve congratulations for landing a job. Before you start celebrating too much, you'll need to develop a plan for salary negotiations. Asking for more money or vacation time often causes a rise in blood pressure. If you come in too low, you might shortchange yourself. Ask for too much money and your potential employer might have second thoughts about the job offer. Take time to research and prepare for the salary and vacation negotiation process.
Put My Phone on Vacation With Verizon
If you are planning a long trip abroad and don't want to pay your monthly cell phone charges with Verizon --- or incur roaming and international fees for using your phone overseas --- you can put your phone plan on vacation.

If you have six months left on your plan and you take a one-month vacation, you will still have the six months left on your plan when you return.
