Great! Relax on the love seat with a fluffy cat while I figure out where I want the rest of the furniture.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Resume question: If one has worked a retail job at the same time that one worked a business type job, should one put the retail job down on a resume for a business/government type job? Does it look good that one can handle two jobs at once?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
sj, I have, more often than not, had 2 jobs and I never put down the "second" job. If I thought it would behoove me in the interview, I brought it up then.

I always put down the second job and mentioned the multiple job at one time handling in my cover letter. Can't say it got me great results, though.

Maybe leave it off and not mention unless you think it will behoove you.

KB, I'm sorry to hear that none of the jobs came through. If you're thinking of trying out the one I pointed you towards a couple of weeks ago, double check with me about whether my contact will be there. She broke her face in 8 places in a flying accident and her jaw is wired shut at the moment.
I don't know that I'd put the second job down unless I had a better answer about why I had a second job than "dead broke." It's just not that interesting to employers.

A lot of people don't look carefully at things - I had an internal interview once where the head of the practice looked at my multiple jobs and commented that I seemed to change jobs a lot. I had to point out that they were concurrent with nothing less than three years duration. If I'd been an outside candidate, i.e., if the job wasn't already mine, I might've been done right there.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Those Emeline pictures are so cute.
I just got back from trying to find a dress to wear to a friend's wedding. It's an Orthodox wedding, which means skirt past the knees, sleeves at least to the elbows, and relatively high neckline. It is so difficult to find stuff like that this time of year that doesn't look way too old for me, and the few things that I did find didn't fit right. If I can't find anything, I'll probably go with a long sleeveless dress and find a cardigan that sort of matches, but there really aren't that many long dresses this year that aren't evening gowns, anyway.
