## Did you ever want to be a personal-finance advice columnist? Here’s your chance.

In Money’s “Readers to the Rescue” department, we publish questions from readers seeking help with sticky financial situations, along with advice from other readers on how to solve those problems. Here’s our latest reader question:

> "The recruiter I used to land a new job said there would be an annual bonus, but after I started I learned that the company doesn't pay bonuses. Is there anything I can do?"

Got a good answer? Submit it to us in the form below. We’ll publish selected reader advice in an upcoming issue. (Your answer may be edited for length and clarity.)

Please include your contact information so we can get in touch; if we use your advice in the magazine, we’d like to check with you first, and possibly run your picture as well.
