Y? asked:


I’m self-employed and thinking of getting a part-time job for extra money in this slow economy. My business takes a lot of thought and planning, and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a retail store job that doesn’t get you all worried and stressed out when you leave at the end of your shift. Also, does anyone have any advice about lengths of shifts (in hours) and rates to request. (I live in the Philly area.) Thank you.

I accidentally mentioned on a job ad that i have 7 years experience in customer service retail. I typed it fast without thinking and then i’m like wait a minute. Is working in subway and dairy queen considered retail? You’re still selling goods to customers….

unanimous asked:


I have a bachelor’s degree but couldn’t find a “real” job so instead I worked a little retail job. I’m applying for “real” jobs again but am wondering if I should include my retail job or not.

I had previously worked a professional job years ago, but then went back to school for a bit. I tried to get back in the work force, but couldn’t find anything so I’ve been doing retail for the past 6 months. Should I include this when applying for these new professional jobs?

CGH asked:


I have worked in office jobs for so long, I know the pay will be much lower in retail shops, but what is the general starting pay?? Do they normally have benefits such as insurance and do they usually let you work 40 hours, or just below to keep you “techinally” part time thereby avoiding having to pay you benefits? Thanks for the help.

What should I ask them? I just want the job! I need it to help pay for college. My availability is great. I don’t know why they didn’t call back yet.

MJR asked:


I’ve checked out a few popular meal planning sites, but none of them are quite what I’m looking for. I’m looking for an automated meal planner (so that it populates itself based on my preferences) which allows me to swap out meals that I’m not too keen on, provides a shopping list, and considers dietary information (such as calories per day). Ideally, the shopping list would be optimized for the week (so I’m not buying groceries that are completely separate from each day’s meal recommendations). I’m willing to pay for such a site.

I am going on a shopping spree in Florida and I plan on only bringing a carry-on. I need some good, strong yet small and portable shopping bags I can fold away neatly and tuck away in my day pack. Any suggestions?
I need them to be lightweight, as I am bringing a lot of stuff(I don’t live there).
Please understand that I am MALE!!! (sorry)
