I am applying to be a waitress but I'm scared of carrying drinks on a tray for fear of spilling them, is it okay to just take two at a time, one in each hand?

I am interested in working from home in something that does not require a lot of investment prior to starting. I want to stay home with my kids. I live in a rural area. I am a Certified Paralegal who was recently laid off. There aren't many legal job opportunities around me and I need to bring in some income. Thanks.

Hey guys, I had an interview for Desert Sun tanning yesterday. It was a group interview and there were no lie, about 50 girls. I wore a simple black skirt and a blouse...appropriate interview outfit. About 98% of the girls were in Hollister jeans with holes in them. I know they had the "tan salon" girl look, but come on, its an interview. To make a long story short..i did research on the company and shared that, I was the first volunteer in a game we played where we had to "sell" the interviewers something...and they said that i had perfect answers to the questions.

Do you think i got it? I really want this job.

In this day and age of advanced word processing, my advanced graphic skills, and my model looks ;) I would like to get a cutting edge above other resumes. I can understand why - other people might not want to put their picture on their resume, but if a good looking person wants too, is it tacky? Unprofessional? I have 8 years white collar working experience- 3 of it in the HR field- and I have seen it all- but quite frankly im sick blending in with the other people- Just wanted to hear some feed back from you guys ;)

I am writing a letter to everyone I know to tell them that I now have my NC real estate license, and am working in RE. Please provide a good business letter format for this type of letter. It will be sent to at least 100 people, so I can not take the time to address each individual. Thanks for your help!

I have a very important job interview tomorrow with a prominent bank in my home city of Cleveland, Ohio. The position is a financial analyst in the investment banking department. I have prepared myself by going to the bank's website and knowing as much about them as possible. In addition, I have gone over some potential questions and reviewed how to answer them. One major obstacle that I have is that I was fired from an accounting position that I had for five months because management said that I did not seem interested in my work. I listed this job on my resume because I wanted to show that I had some relevant work experience. How should I field a question about why I left this company? Also, any other advice would be greatly appreciated.


THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I am employed in a very small business. The only employee and I have two bosses who own the co. One boss is an idiot and litterally rapes the company for everything down to toilet paper. He cannot manage his money and once a month we have to bail him out for child support failure to pay and come up with money to cover his personal bills. My paychecks bounce every time I get paid. However the other boss said he would cut me into the sale of the business if I stayed around. He sold some stock (not all) and never even gave me a dime, but he works hard and is generally a great guy and friend of mine. When I told him yesterday that I got an offer to work elsewhere he blew it off as me not being serious. I do have some great perks, but they don't outway bounced checks, no insurance and very low pay. Do I hang out for the sale of the co while the idiot continues to pilage the account or say "F" it and leaver now friend or not. I work hard and have a great resume, just confused.

I know that's a weird question. But I want to get my foot in the door of anything what has to do with contractors. Can I start with applying for an office/secretary job or something? Cause I have a lot of experience with customer service/office. But I don't know if they'll think I'm crazy or something because they don't need someone like that. Or what else can I do? Please help.

He was married x 2. over 12 years both times. He has been on the railroad for about 38 yrs when he retires.
I have worked forever in a very stable profession and make almost as much as he does, so if I marry him, probably will not be entitled to anything. I contributed to social security and have a 403b. Also, his ex's have both re married and neither one put a clause in the divorce decree to get part his retirement crazy enough. They freaking "forgot" I guess. I worry about my financial future if I marry him. He is quite a bit older than I and has some serious health issues showing up. I dont know much about railroad retirement.
Do you know anything?
