Its a minimum wage job that I want because I have no job, I dont have any desire for it other than it will pay the bills. I have done it in the past as a teenager and also a waitress. Im not sure what I can put in a covering letter other than begging for the job, any ideas?

I'm looking for suggestions on jobs that don't involve working a lot with other people. It can be any type of job, I want as many ideas as possible. I know all jobs require a least a little interaction with people, but I'm looking for jobs where you can work by yourself a majority of the time, and don't have to interact with customers or the like. Any thoughtful answers are appreciated.

I know there are loads! But I'm not sure what job I would like, so if someone could list down a few jobs possible at a hospital I would be very grateful :) I know nurse, doctor, midwife and stuff - just maybe some things I haven't heard of.

So I wanted to upgrade my resume a bit and two of my previous jobs happen to have been a dishwasher and a concession stand worker. Are there better names for these jobs or am I stuck having with these? My jobs in between happen to be professional positions so I wanted the resume to kind of flow.

I just graduated from high school and I really need a job, preferably a good one. The current economy is making it rather difficult to find a good job, especially for someone with virtually no work experience such as myself. Any suggestions?

I want a job where I can help cook (preparing ingredients, frying but mainly chopping/slicing,etc). Im just looking for part time during the holidays maybe? Just giving a hand in the kitchen (will avoid washing duties unless it comes with the job as a bonus, although its fine since I do it at home anyways). What are the requirements? I just need to know things like how to cut this and that and how to use the pan properly for specific dishes (mainly thai, I'm thai) and my time limit etc. My friend said she'd talk to her manager where she works (thai restaurant) since they were looking for an assistant for making sauce and chopping vegetables for $13 (nz dollar) an hour. I already cook dishes like green curry, pad thai, spicy pappaya salad, tom yum, panang curry, and other dishes that I don't know what the names are in english lol. Although i know they might not let me put in the ingredients by myself and have a senior cook do it, since i might screw up and for private reasons (special ingredients maybe?). My strong point is chopping vegetables for frying and slow cook, mincing pork, handling meat (bad at cutting up whole chickens though) like cutting up chicken/pork/lamb into suitable pieces and my most favourite, dicing herbs/veges. I know most preparations take place during the morning but I just want to know if these skills are good enough. I can also clean dishes (like every normal teenager) and take VERY good care of my kitchen equipment, ESPECIALLY my personal knives. Can tell if something has gone off most of the time and if the dish is ready to be served/raw/burnt. Anyways they're only looking for an extra helping hand in the kitchen, mostly for frying. I'm not too confident with my frying pan skills and usually need assistance to be able to tell if the food needs more of this or that (if its too spicy or sour etc). I would also appreciate tips on how to strengthen these weak points and how to help remember my recipes a bit better :) Thanks in advance!

I currently work at a corporation run restaurant. I started in the kitchen and within 8 months have learned things that people there years have never learned. I'm the hardest worker and I'll be graduating college in under a year. The assistant general manager and the regional supervisor ABOVE the general manager of the restaurant are both on board with me becoming an assistant manager. However, the general manager of this restaurant is taking his time and is trying to make things seem fair because I've advanced so quickly; even though I deserve it. I've contemplated designing a written paper to my general manager voicing all of the opinions and facts that are surrounding every reason why I should be getting this promotion. Does anyone have any ideas for me? The restaurant is Vinny T's of Boston, if that helps anyone.
