How to customize a resume for new job search?
My husband has been in the medical field for the past 10 years but is no longer happy in his profession. As odd as it may sound, he is looking to be a pest control tech so he can be outdoors (which is where he loves to be) instead of an office. He has a long history in the military and has worked other labor-related jobs before but nothing but medical jobs for the past 13 years. How do we change his resume to show potential employers he wants to change careers without that change looking odd?
Answer:
The key to any resume is that the applicable traits and skills of the applicant should jump out at the hiring manager.
In your husband's case, he should investigate what traits/skills the pest control industry looks for when it hires people. Obviously he won't necessarily have skills that are specific to pest control, but I give it 100-to-1 odds that most of the skills they look for are generic. What generic skills is the pest control industry looking for that are transferable from your husband's current job or past jobs?
He may need to take someone who owns a pest control business out to lunch or something to ask him, "What things do you look for when you hire someone?" That way, your husband can pick out the things he's done at his past jobs that demonstrate those things, and he should put those vignettes on his resume.
The other thing that will be really important for your husband will be that he sell himself in person to decision makers (even prior to an interview). Dropping resumes without making a personal connection with someone a company first is a sure-fire way to feel like you're throwing your resume into a black hole, ESPECIALLY for career changers. It's just a fact of life that a resume is inadequate (by itself) to make a hiring manager feel comfortable hiring a career changer.

How to get a job at a hotel?
How do you get a job at a hotel at the front desk? Any tips and pointers will help!
Answer:
Here is how to become a Hotel Desk Clerk as followed:
1) Brush up on clerical and customer service skills and experience. While many hotels will hire hotel desk clerks on the basis of appearance and the ability to interact with people, having good typing, phone and clerical skills will greatly increase your chances of getting a good job. If you have no experience with customer service, think about doing a short course at a community college to learn some of the basics.
2) Search for a position in hotel growth markets. Although you might find openings in local hotels and motels, if you really want to maximize the opportunity as a hotel clerk, you should look to hot hotel markets. Las Vegas, New York and parts of California see extensive annual growth in the hotel industry and hotel desk clerk position openings.
3) Turn to the American Hotel and Lodging Association for resources. The AHLA can give you valuable information about new hotels, markets and opportunities. Also, contact The Educational Institute of the American Hotel and Motel Association for advice and educational resources about how to become a hotel desk clerk.
4) Be prepared for a cyclical industry. Hotels are sensitive to cyclical economic trends and often have to let go of people or reduce hours during slow periods. Because of this you should distinguish yourself as hotel desk clerk and also consider jobs for the off seasons in case you need to supplement your income.

How to get in to a musical theater career?
I want to do plays and musical theater when I grow up. The problem is I don't know what to do to get started. Should I take singing and (or) dancing lessons and if so what kind? Thanks to anybody who answered.
Answer:
you should find a classical voice teacher first to train your voice and improve your stance. if you can sing opera correctly you can sing anything.
then go look for jazz dance classes. most broadway musicals nowadays have choreography that is jazz-like or something of that nature.
go look on your local community theatre's website for upcoming auditions and find a show you might see yourself doing.
for auditions: don't sing a song from a show where the character is 50 years old and you're only 15. sing something age appropriate.
DO NOT SING:
memory- Cats
wishing you were somehow here again- The Phantom of the Opera
don't cry for me Argentina- Evita
sit down you're rocking the boat- Guys and Dolls
one song glory- RENT
defying gravity- Wicked
Popular Wicked
Seasons of Love- RENT
and absolutely nothing you hear on the radio unless the director asks specifically for a pop song.
i wish you luck and if you might have anymore questions you may email me at: www.musicforever2010@yahoo.com
How to calcuate salary based on gross pay?
I made $2,102.20 for the gross pay, and I get paid every two weeks. Is there a way to figue out what my annual salary is?
How do you calculate it?
Answer:
If you get paid the same amount each pay period, then your gross annual income is $50,452.80.
Edit:
$2,102.20 x 2 = your monthly pay. Multiply that result by 12 (months) to get the yearly figure.
How to get more hours at work?
I work about 16hrs per week (part time), at a coffee shop. I am not complaining, I'm very glad I get that many per week. However, I would like perhaps a few more a week, somewhere around 20ish, but I feel as if asking them would be rude and unnecessary. Any tips, suggestions, experiences?
Answer:
It is not rude, it shows initiative. However, you could also tell all your co-workers that you are willing to take any of their shifts if they want to skip a shift.
Keep in mind the boss may not want you to do that, and it would be the boss's call in the long run,
Really the best option is to talk to the boss, tell him you will take shifts at the last minute (if someone calls in sick etc), be flexible.
How to write cover letter for job application?
What do I write? How do I attach it? I'm applying to a lot of stores. One store I'm applying to is Pet Food Express, and I've already mailed in the application they gave me. Would it be awkward to send in a cover letter along with attached recommendation letters at this point? And what about for other stores that I haven't applied to yet? Thanks so much!
Answer:
Here is how to write an application resume cover letter for job application as followed:
1) Write a job application cover letter specific to the company.
Make a cover letter for the specific company and position you are applying for. Do not try to make a generic cover letter to cover all the jobs you are applying for. It will be obvious to the employer.
2) Write a cover letter with knowledge of the company.
Apply for a position with a company only after you have done some research to see who they are, what they advertise as their strong points, and specifically what the job involves. Include some detail in your cover letter.
3) Follow the instructions.
Write a job application resume cover letter with the instructions from the company in hand. Some companies only accept attachments to an email cover letter, so be sure you follow the instructions for applying for a position either online or in person.
4) Use an appropriate salutation.
Start writing the job application resume cover letter with Dear and a name of someone if you can find it. If not, use something like Dear Human Resources Manager or Dear Hiring Manager.
5) Give the name and number of the position you are applying for.
Be sure to list the job number and name of the position in a job application cover letter. Most businesses have more than one position open at a time, and some businesses retain job applications for future needs. It is imperative that you list the name and number of the position in a job application resume cover letter.
6) Tell something about yourself in relation to the position you are applying for.
Write a paragraph about why you would be a good employee in the position and for the company. Give some details about your qualifications. Make the connection between your skills and the employer needs.
7) Give any personal knowledge you may have.
Suggest any employees you know, and any positive contacts you may have had with the company in the past. Details make a difference.
8) Attach a resume.
Attach a resume and mention it in the last paragraph. Request an interview to further discuss how you can help the company. This is the call to action that encourages the reader to act.
9) Close the job application resume cover letter.
Give a complimentary closing like Best regards or even Very truly yours. Leave a space to sign your name, and be sure to give all information to contact you, including telephone number, email address, and your street address, city and zip code.
10) Check for errors.
Review the cover letter for content, spelling, grammar, and aesthetic appeal. If you are not a grammarian, find a proofreader to make corrections for you. It will be well worth money spent on a job application resume cover letter.
