Had 20 years in the service industry as a Server/Bartender trainer at store and Corporate levels before our establishment closed in 2002, I have since been caregiver for My Family: Grandfather (passed away in 2006) Uncle (Died of liver disease and diabetes in 2009)and My Grandmother who is legally blind, nearly deaf, had a stroke that impairs her speech and no cartilage in her Hips just celebrated her 99th Birthday on August 9th, ...she is still going strong after recent bouts with both Pneumonia and a fall that left her incapacitated for several weeks, she's back on her feet and keeping me very busy! As taxing as this 24/7 Job is I can't imagine doing anything else right now.

As a Finance manager at a car dealership... what is this "respect" you speak of? HA! I tell you what though. Cops DO deserve more credit. Crappy hours, everybody they talk to has a problem they need to deal with, danger...and boredom...and paperwork...and politics... Totally thankless. haha to be fair I think we have it vastly different in sleepy Suffolk UK compared to say NYPD for example! Although the hours are still crappy! I saw "Hot Fuzz" I know how it is... |

Proofing? Not sure what that is... I think it's proofreading legal docs. I'm told its a job given to law grads waiting to take the bar. Apparently tedious but I'm not a lawyer sooo this is all second hand info. |

Currently a first year law student - keeping my fingers crossed and hoping to be a lawyer in a couple years. Good luck. I survived school and the Florida bar with only a few gray hairs. Bear down, get good grades, make law review/moot court and get as much sleep as you can. Most importantly, get some experience, any experience, after your first year. Even if you dont get paid or do pro bono at your local legal aid society. It will make you much more competitive for summer associate jobs in year two, which are the golden ticket to getting a job. Legal market is starting to look up, so grind it out and find a geographic area and corner it. |

Thanks for the well wishes and advice - I just finished sending off applications for 1L summer jobs at the bigger firms in the Calgary area (I'm up in Canada), keeping my fingers crossed! |

We make sure all packages picked up from our local drivers, that are outbound to other countries, are key entered/uploaded into the system and meet all requirements to clear customs. Roughly 500 pkgs per day from our location. 1500 per day in December.
