What duties will I have ?

How 'on your feet' will I become compared to a person who prepares the meat or fish ?

What is the wage on average like compared to other chefs in the resturant ?

What books can you recommend that will have pastry & dessert recipes ?

What should I generally garnish desserts with ?

Things like this I am wondering as I am thinking of becoming a Pastry Chef.
Thanks,
-Josh

reasons that's holding me back is my recent 5 plus yr. job experience as a temporary employee. It's been awhile since I held a full-time permanent job, which I'm now seeking because frankly I'm tired of not receiving benefits, having a cubicle of my own or a business card (which is awkward not possessing when one is trying to network). I think though that many hiring managers frown upon people who've worked multiple years as a temp. This could be because some of my brethren (well, I've been guilty of some of this too, which detail I would never bring up to prospective employers) in the temp industry have developed the negative reputation of being late to gigs, taking days off and/or suddenly, w/o notice, quitting. My question is: should I include cover letters which states why I would be a good candidate despite having temped for so long? In past cover letters, I have not discussed nor defended being a temp at all, but highlighted the skills and experiences I have to offer.

In particular, when I email a resume and cover letter, how can I motivate the hiring manager to open it? Is there something that I can put in the subject line that will make it stand out, but still be professional? Hiring Managers are receiving hundreds and hundreds of resumes and I need some ideas to make mine stand out. HELP!

Can you get one at any doctors office or is there a special place you have to go to? Also, how do I get my drivers background statement? Do I have to go to a police station or what?

I worked as a Special Education Teacher’s Assistant for about 9 yrs before deciding
I needed a change and going back to school to gat an associates degree in business administration. I am currently working towards a bachelor’s in organizational psychology. Jobs I have researched requires experience, which I have very little of. When I graduated high school I worked as a data collector for Dikita Enterprises where I was commissioned as an intern for Dallas Area Rapid Transit working data analysis and data input. However, as I stated my experiences are limited in those areas and it was years ago. What can I do with what I have? Are there any jobs that will hire someone with basically no experience?

I had an interview for a teaching assistant job last month... I got the job, and am just waiting for the formal offer. My problem is that I included in my list of credentials that I have a certificate in TEFL via a distance learning course. I indicated that the cert would be issued in July 2007, because I was told by my distance learning instructor that it would take about 2 months to process my cert from time of submission. Problem is, it's my cert hasnt arrived yet. I followed up with my school and was told that it actually takes about 3-6 months. I know I can explain this to the school I applied to, but I am worried. The certificate isnt a requirement for the job, but I am afraid it will reflect badly since I placed it in my resume and don't have the actual paper yet. Should I say anything before signing the contract? Should I wait for them to ask? They didn't ask about it during my interview. Please help!!

I want to reach consumers who are shopping at the mall or a store. I have seen people distributing sales pamphlets or putting them on the cars. How do I find these people and how much do they charge?

I went into work yesterday with a cold and by the end of the day it was getting worse. The office manager I work with told me that if I wasn't feeling well today to just call out and not push myself to do too much. I still don't feel that great today and I don't want to get everyone contaminated (I work in a small office). I work for my uncle and that makes it worse on me to call out. I feel guilty calling in like I should go to work. I go to work full time and I also am going to college too. I have a class tonight that I have to go to from 4-7 and it's the first class so I can't miss it. But, I would be working from 8:30-3 then right after that going to class.

What should I do?

When you call out sick should I call the office itself when I know the office manager is there? Should I call my uncle who is my boss?

I've been working for many years but I work in contract security and its a very unreliable job. After 4 years I'm not making any more money then when I started and they lose sites all the time so I have to keep switching around. I am a good worker who has never called off a day and always get good praise but don't seem to be going anywhere. Also in this line of work if you ask for a raise they say the only way you get a raise is if they sign a new contract that pays more, but the problem is that rarely happens or they lose the site altogether. I need to get in a new field but I can't seem to get my foot in the door. I can do pretty much anything, computer skills, hardwork, telephone it doesn't really matter.
