I am 22 years old. I have an Associate of Applied Science degree in Culinary Arts. I have only ever worked in restaurants. I have done a little of everything...I've waited tables, cocktailed, bartended, worked in kitchens...etc. Most recently I was training to be a manager for a national chain, but I was layed off after some corporate downsizing. I can't handle the hours of the restaurant industry anymore. I was working about 70 hours a week at my most recent job, and it just about killed me.
My question is, how do I get a 9-5 type desk job without any relevant experience?
I'm pretty computer proficient...Word, Excel, Power Point, Internet, etc...
I'm great with people (you have to be to wait tables!)
I'm organized.
I think I'm a fairly intelligent person and I could keep up in a professional environment.
I think with a little job-specific training, I could easily handle a receptionist or administrative assistant job. Where do I find one (in the Dallas area?)
