How can I word and answer these three questions in a professional way? The position I'm applying for is Unit Clerk part time. The only requirements that are needed for this position; is your high school diploma; I recieved my high school diploma back in 2006. One of the questions is: List any computer software or office equipment that you can use. The next one is: Please identify skills that you have that are relative to the job which you are applying. The last one is: Indicate any honors, professional societies and related professional activities that you feel might be helpful in considering your application.

I will be graduating in May and one of my classes requires a written resume. My previous jobs include restaurant management, hospital unit clerk, telemetry monitor on the cardiac ward, and HR manager. My future career will be as a physician, however the job I am to focus on for the assignment would be related to a bachelor's degree in biochemistry. Would it be better to focus on specific abilities from these jobs or to continue with a chronological format. Also, should I focus on the classes I have taken to prepare for my degree such as labs and neglect job history or should I include job history and just do a basic overview of my college preparation. Is it necessary to include grade point and test scores (MCAT)? Thanks for any advice you could pass on to me.

I work as a health unit clerk (admin duties on hospital wards). I recently just finished school for it and parts of the job I like and parts of the job I don't. It's a good stepping stone for me though but I don't think I see myself doing it forever.

Also what is it? How does it work? Is it an old machine? A data entry clerk job said this was something I would be operating. I have never even heard of it. I've looked it up on the internet and I can find nothing other than other people asking what one looks like.

I want to do AAT and I just got a job in a completely different field. However I will only work 25 hours as the hospital unit clerk. I have a degree but jobs are so hard to find right now so I took what I could. I figured it would give me time to study. Do you think I'll be able to fit the study in?

Not a doctor, a nurse, or anything that requires a degree. I'm starting college in a couple of weeks and people have told me to get jobs at a hospital. I don't have any "medical experience" so I was wondering what other jobs there are that a high school graduate can do. Are they diffucult and strict? Thanks in advance.

I have not worked since Feb. 2000, but now I find it necessary, I do not have the means for further training. In the past I have worked as a hospital unit clerk, a file clerk, Anesthesia Scheduler, have helped people with home care, but am not certified. I have been looking for something for a long time, with no success. I am signed up with the state TWC agency, and Hot Jobs, many employment sites, to no avail. I am hoping for ideas, or even career counselors that don't cost alot that I could speak to in person, not on line I also have waitress experience. All my experience in these areas are old, I need help I am out of Ideas, Thanks, Gladgirl77

I am a bit confused, well maybe not confused, just not informed about the process of careers in the military, particularly the Marine Corps. Is everyone just sent off to Iraq to fight? Are there other jobs as well? Are there non fighting jobs of the sort? Do you get to pick what exactly you want to do? What can you do in the Marine Corps? I'm sorry if this is a bit confusing to you all, if you need me to clarify what exactly I am asking, please say. Simply put, what types of occupations are available in the Marine Corps?
