    does anyone know how much an operations manager for academy makes? I have tried glass door, pay scale but I cannot find anything that looks promising. I figure someone may know the answer.

    Create PDF versions of your career documents if you are concerned about your documents being altered by recipients (MS Word 2010 allows you to create PDFs- go to File, Save as Type, and PDF).

    Consider using a professional resume writing service (this is what's known as the "shameless plug" tip of the day)

    Read the book Knock Em Dead 2012, by Martin Yate. It contains extreme valuable job search information.

    Understand that unexpected changes can delay/hinder your job search, and prepare appropriate back-up plans.

    I like to play the sympathy card without totally bad mouthing the employer.

    Q:You did all that?
    A: "Yeah, it was challenging but I learned something new, like that time [when they ****ed me over but now I'm blatantly bull****ting it by turning it into an opportunity "they handed to me" for you to read between the lines]..."

    Q: So why don't you just stay there/get promoted there?
    A: "I just want the opportunity/chance to do more and expand [into a path they won't ****ing give me]...yadda yadda"

    The trick is that people/HR expect you to spin in order to protect yourself.

    What you do is spin to make it look like you're protecting your former employer while giving them the true impression that you got jobbed and their defensive spin detectors will do the rest.

    Good advice! I always look at it like, no matter how bad your situation was, they were your employer, and this company could be your next employer, and saying negative things about any aspect of a former employer to a potential employer should just be avoided- but, like anything in job search, there are always exceptions to the rule.

    Videotape yourself answering a mock interview question and analyze your response (you can do this on most laptops)

    If you are in the process of obtaining a certification but you have not completed the program, do include it on your resume, but be sure to include the "in progress" part.

    Job Search Tip of the Day September 19, 2012

    If you have consecutive short-term positions but with the same job title, write it up like this on your resume:

    Real Estate Agent, 2009-2012
    Keller Williams / Century 21 / Coldwell Banker - Houston, TX

    And then write one paragraph to describe your duties across all 3.

    Had an interview with a restaurant. They offered me a position as FoH manager. money is there, and it's a good company.

    Afraid to accept it because I'm still waiting on the food service company, who I talked about earlier in the thread, to make their final offer. My father works for the company and said the VP said I'm in, but I'm tired of waiting for them to call.
