Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b70r@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Anonymous

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

It's not unlikely for job candidates, particularly those in
highly competitive industries, to have non-compete agreements
with their current company. These agreements are often said to
be tough to enforce, depending on the job market. How do
recruiters, HR pros and hiring managers address the issue, if at
all, during the hiring process? Would they ask the candidate if
they have signed such an agreement? When? During the interview
process? Upon making an offer? Why/why not? Do they consider
these agreements to be "iron-clad" or relatively easy to
dismiss? Have they successfully helped top candidates overcome
the restrictions in their agreements? Would their ability to
successfully help a candidate "get out of" an agreement cause
them any concern about the candidate likely being able to do the
same if they require a noncompete?

111) Summary: How Much Should I Spend On Travel insurance?

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b7fz@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

I'm researching a story about how much you should spend on
travel insurance. I'd love to hear from anyone who has purchased
travel insurance recently. How much did you pay? How much was it
as a percentage of your trip? Did you feel it was a fair price?
Do you think the recent pandemic has made travel insurance more
expensive (or too expensive)? From travel insurance companies
and experts, I'd like to know: What are the standards. How much
should a "named exclusions" policy cost? How about a "cancel for
any reason" policy? Have prices risen since the pandemic, and by
how much? Is travel insurance worth the cost?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please

with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. Kindly do not cut-and-paste answers from
previously published materials, such as press releases or blog
posts. If a phone interview is necessary, I will follow up right
away. Be sure to include your full name and a jargon-free, brief
(two to three word) description of your company or affiliation
as you would like it to appear in the article. I will do my
absolute best to acknowledge that I received your pitch and will
make every effort to let you know when the story appears. More

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b7g1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

I'm researching a story about the difference between travel
protection and insurance. I'd love to hear from anyone who had
to decide between protection, which is often offered by tour
operators and cruise lines and is not real insurance (but can be
bundled with an insurance product) and real travel insurance?
What are the differences? What did you decide to buy? How much
money did you save, or not save? What would you advise other
travelers in a similar situation? From travel insurance experts
and travel insurance companies, I'd love to know: What are the
main differences? What do consumers need to know about the
difference between protection and insurance? What's your best
advice for anyone considering both these options?
