Would you prefer to be short-staffed, making money, and be stressed or over-staffed chill shift without stress?

I used to work in a restaurant where I took more than ten tables and extended my section. It was very stressful, but I made great money.

Nowadays, I work in a restaurant where I take seven tables in my shifts, but no stress, no running around, and making average money.

Which one is more important for you? Making good tips; being stressed or making average money and not being stressed?

I felt proud to work for #IDEA FRONTIER SCHOOL when...

I was given the opportunity to share my medical experience as the school health Aid, With the assistance of my good fellow friends of different administration departments I felt as a super hero to tackle any incoming changes that had face us to contribute a good understanding learning environment for our school students to accomplish their designated universities or colleges they were to decide to attend.

Temp to perm

I started out as a temp with 20 others and last one standing. Very hard to get hired at that time. I failed test first time, even tho I was doing the job already that was open. Obviously, that means nothing to state farm. Second time I passed test but at that point I was a temp for FIVE years! Then I had to have back surgery and I hardly took any time off, so I had much time, but when I returned they took all my saved sick/vac/etc and raped me. So i quit! Pretty sad when you do a job for 5 years mess up on their test and they laugh at you. Good luck, but I'd never go back. Upper management is heartless. KARMA

What are good jobs for people that want to get out of food service?

I've been a server and cashier for way too long and want to get into another industry, but don't know where to start. What are some better paying jobs that are possible for a career change? I've managed my restaurant for the past year.

Warehouse Associate at Blue Apron

It depends on your physical capabilities and skills. Cashier and server might be more limited to retail or commission based sales.if you have a manager title on your job history that opens up many more opportunities like administrative, ops manager, supervisor roles, etc. You can work in banking if u have clean record. Entry level warehousing pays a lot but u work overtime and it wears on your body. U can learn new skills free online too

How did you demonstrate skills in an interview?

Companies do not just hire someone to perform a job. People are put in place to solve problems for them. And one of the main questions a prospective employer is asking themselves about a prospective employee is can they solve the company's problem. That problem could be they need people to fill basic roles of the business such as sales, marketing or accounting. Or they may want someone to help with processes within the organization. That could mean helping implement new software and training for example. Whatever the job, though, they are hiring people to be problem solvers. I interviewed with a producer/director of a documentary a while back. While I waited for my interview to begin, I heard her on a phone conversation that seemed to really frustrate her. It turns out there were issues with a part of production that she had delegated but wasn't resolved. Having overheard part of the conversation I suggested a few things that might eliminate the problem altogether and even save the production a bit of money. After many thanks for the assist, she asked me what position I was interviewing for. Since this was my first job in the film industry ever, I said production assistant which is an entry level position. She refused. She said she needed people around her that can resolve issues quickly and creatively so she can focus on directing the talent. She asked me to be the AD (Assistant Director). It is one of the most important roles on set because this person keeps the entire set moving, ready and on schedule. It is a very challenging job. I said I knew nothing about the job itself but she convinced me that I already possessed one of the most important skills, problem solving. In an interview, be sure to demonstrate your skills. Share your story of how you showed your skillset in an interview. #jobsearch #interview #advice
