recession thoughts.
when the economy was better, i found myself wishing i had taken spanish in high school instead of french. being fluent in french doesn't exactly earn one extra money or an extra glance from employers who need to cater to a growing part of america's population.
now that i'm full-on into the longest i've ever been unemployed, i find myself wishing i would have been a waitress in high school instead of a lifeguard. because every server job in this city requires a "professional resume and experience." oh, i have a resume. but it doesn't have waiting tables on it.
shit.

Maybe they just want experience of some sort on the resume, you know, to indicate that you can and have held a job before, regardless of the kind of environment it was in?
It can't hurt to try, is what I think, anyway. No matter what serving job I was in, it started with a week or two of training. You're a smart cookie...if a restaurant manager can't figure out that you'd be able to wait on their tables once trained, then you don't wanna work for that manager!
