So I am relying on Yahoo Answers for some good advice lol. I'm sixteen and I live in Australia - and I want to be a famous Aussie model.

I am already with an agency, are there any searches that I could enter? I've tried looking on google but all it gives me is a load of junk.

It is what I've always wanted to do - I just love being infront of the camera.

What companies and labels could I contact, and whom do I contact to be a model for them?

I have attached a photo for you guys to check out - http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff247...

Any helpful answers will be very much appreciated.

Cheers mate!

The best response gets an easy 10 points. I'm looking into a new job at Best Buy, what should I list under Circuit City on my resume.

I already have bulleted:

• Provided exceptional customer service in a fast-paced sales environment.

My resume is only half full and since Circuit City and Best Buy are similar I would like to list impressive statements under work experience at Circuit City.

*I was a sales associate.

How do I answer the whole, why do you want to work for the company question? It's just a fast food job, Noodles & Company. But I still don't know what to say.

I love to travel and I've wanted to be a stewardess for the longest time but I've realized thats not the best job to have if I want to have a family in a couple of years. Are there any jobs that would require me to travel but with a schedule? Does that make sense?

I'm going to engage my boss in negotiations tomorrow for a promotion he promised me months ago. I just recently found out my predecessor's salary. I don't have the same skill set, but the job will mostly be the same. I'm wondering if it's appropriate to bring that information up ONLY if needed...if all else is failing.

Hi! I have just posted a question relating to interview tips, and I have gotten great feedback. (I have an interview I am worrying about at midday) People are saying that I should ask the interviewer a question or two. Generally what would you ask your potential employer? (This is a post-production film company, I am applying for a junior accounts assistant position) Any advise would be greatly appreciated.. I need to land this job! :)

I was promoted and now I’m stuck in the office unlike my previous position, which I have to do lots of field research. I need an excitement in my job, and in-office job gets me bored. My performance decline and I feel like I disappoint my colleagues. Should I stay in the same position and struggling to improve, or is it better to find another “field” job?

I am 16, I posted a question asking if I should quit Domino's or not. Well, I have decided to wait 2 weeks after this week (Friday is payday). If nothing has changed I am going to put my 2 weeks notice in, I am going out on Tuesday and Wednesday (days off) after school to grab applications.

I was needing some ideas about where to apply. They have to hire me at age 16, and I would like to get $7 an hour or more. Any suggestions appreciated!!

Hi,

I got my entire tuition covered for grad school, and I turned down much more prestigious schools because of this. So since I don't get to put Columbia Journalism School on my resume, I want to indicate that I got a full tuition scholarship to the other school (so the employer can figure out that I was probably accepted other places). But can I put that on there without it looking cheesy or like I'm bragging? If so, how do I word it? For example, should I put "Recipient of the So-and-So Scholarship (full tuition merit grant)"? Do you think it would turn employers off if they read this?

Thanks for your help!

I'm still a college student, so I haven't graduated yet. My college is having a job fair soon with a lot of companies, including government agencies (I want to participate in a summer internship or coop program) The problem is that I don't really know what objectives I should write, since I will be giving the same resume to different companies. I know that some people think it's stupid to write down the objectives, but in my case it's mandatory. I also need some good ideas of what to write in my resume, since I don't have a specific job experience and I want to make a good impression.

Any advice will be great! Thanks in advance ;)

PS
My major is chemistry

I just started working for burger king, at times I get sceduled to work with one of my friends. I'm not to close of a friend with this person but we go to school together. Anyway he asked me one day were the manager was and I told him she was in the office counting money so, he told me to watch the office and to tell him when she was getting ready to come out. I did, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed him make a sandwich for himself and he stood right there and ate the whole thing. The whole time reminding me to tell him if she was coming. My question is will I get in trouble for letting him do this and not telling the manager what happened. Also whenever anyone in the back gets hungry they make themselves food and eat it. One co-worker even gave me a sandwich and stupidly I ate it, will I get in trouble? do you think they are just trying to set me up. Please help me ASAP i'm afraid of allready losing my first job.

I decided I would take it to the board. Both sides settled on the advise of the judge. The outcome was the "termination" would be dropped and my personnel file would state "resigned for personal reasons." I would have permissive reinstate rights to work for any State agency except my previous employer. ANY mention of tardies would be purged from my file (including any appraisals) knowing no agency would hire me with a tardy problem, also to start with a clean slate. My employer stated other than tardies I was a very good worker and had never been behind in any assignments. Every appraisal "attendance and tardies" have always been marked poor. Recently I've gone to interviews and sign when asked for release of my last appraisal. They've been purged. One question allowed is "would you rehire this person again?" We agreed I would not return so others would not have me as an excuse when tardy. No appraisal in 19 years has to raise some eyebrows don't you think? No job offers. Any advise?

I'm a sophomore in high school and I'm starting to layout early plans for college. My main goal is to become a professional chef. I've always loved being in the kitchen and preparing food for people. I love to watch how the chefs run a kitchen at a restaurant, and how a restaurant operates.

But see, I love making music almost just as much. . Im always listening to or improvising/composing music. Band at school has always been my favorite part of the day. I'm afraid that I won't have time to spend with music if I'm shut up in a kitchen all day long.

I want to take both of these arts to a higher level (primarily culinary), but do you think its possible? Will I be able to make good money?

I just graduated college in 3 yrs. and while I was completing my two classes during the summer, my 1st job hired me on a temporary basis (which was rare to find since most firms were looking for full time at the time). After I was done with my classes, my job took me on board on a full time basis. It was for a small ad/marketing comp. and I loved it there, flexible hours, work environment was chill, co-workers were young (so it was easy to relate), and pay was ok. However, before I had even graduated I had applied to work for Social Security Administration.They called me on a Thursday to start on Tuesday and since I couldn't make up my mind I waited until Monday to tell the ad comp.I quit. I only have a wk with SSA and I already don't like it, the workers are older, won't get a raise until my 2 YR probationary period is over and it doesn't even relate to what I studied in college ( I was a business major). Is it too early to try to get my old job back? Or should I wait it out at SSA?
