The fleshy root of the plant is known to resemble the human form in appearance.

My Mobile Phone Insurance Really Was a Clever Choice

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Being of sound mind and body, I hope! I decided to purchase a mobile phone for my 12 year old. I know…but at least this way, I can keep tabs on him for a bit. At least that is my intention. Needless to say, mobile phone insurance will be a necessity. Gregory has not always been the most responsible of sons.

The astounding joy, he displayed, when I presented this gift to him was very satisfying. The first rule, however, and the reason for getting the phone to begin with, was for him to let me, or his father know, where he was going and with whom he was going with. Being a pre-teen was a difficult year and the beginning of showing his independents.

No, mom, I don’t want to go to the mall with you. I am going with my friends. Mom, no one hangs out with their parents and so on and so forth. Difficult…for whom? Me the Parent or my child? So a new era begins. Constant worry! Whatever, in heavens name, made me want to be a parent?

I did not purchase mobile phone insurance for Gregory’s phone with the same company I have our mobile’s phones from. They have the best and most complete coverage and are the least expensive, but they are not competitive on insurance. The other companies I had looked into were much more expensive and the cover was inadequate, so I chose Supercover Mobile Phone Insurance.

For several weeks things seemed to be okay. Gregory displayed a hereto unknown ability towards responsibility and still had his phone.

Oops, I spoke to soon, Gregory came through the front door and it seems he sheepishly walked towards me. I think I could have read his mind, for I immediately knew something was wrong and it had to do with his mobile phone.

They had stopped at the food mart, in the shopping centre and Gregory had lent the phone to his friend to make a call. Unfortunately, when they left the mall, his friend left the phone on the table. When they went back to get, it was gone. Someone had taken it.

I immediately called the mobile phone insurance company and put in a claim. I told them what had happened. The agent assured me that everything would be taken care of and not to worry. It was in less than 48 hours. Old account cancelled and new phone on the way. Not only are they the least expensive, the claim was taken care of hassle free.

 

Restaurant Job Hunting Online

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Finding a restaurant job online is far more efficient than the old-fashioned method of searching through the classified sections of newspapers and other print material. Job postings in any location, field or pay range are not that hard to find, and the food service industry is no exception. There are, however, some particular factors to take into consideration when job hunting in this industry.

Your first step should be to search career websites, such as Workopolis. There are many well-established sites of this nature and they’re easy to find. Through these sites, it is easy to isolate jobs by industry, type and location. Popular sites like Craigslist and more informal job posting sites are useful as well.

One advantage of searching for jobs on career search websites is that once you?ve found a job that appeals to you, you can basically apply on the spot. Like so many other workaday tasks in life, the Net makes the hassle of job searching far easier and more efficient than older, traditional methods.

Also, devoted job hunters will want to search for websites for the specific kind of job they’re looking for. In this day and age, the savvy restaurants and bars have their own website, some better developed than others. If you search restaurant sites in your preferred area, and perhaps for your preferred style (for instance, pub) you’ll be able to get a sense of what the restaurant is like, its prices, atmosphere and so on. Such sites, if they’re for smaller independent restaurants, are less likely than bigger sites to have a career options page however; they are typically geared more toward potential customers.

Searching restaurant websites is a good guide for seeking out the places you are interested in applying to, but in the industry it is popular and often more effective to drop by the restaurant itself and bring your resume in person.

Nothing beats “face time” for your first contact with a possible employer. The restaurant industry is ideal for providing such opportunities. Unlike a corporate office building, it is easily accessible to the general public–including you! Walk in and you’re likely to find the manager or another high-ranking staff member to talk to directly.

Applying for jobs in restaurants and other small businesses can be a good deal more informal than applying for company jobs. Managers or owners in restaurants and bars often prefer to meet applicants face-to-face, rather than try to select candidates from a stack of resumes. This is especially useful for front-of-house jobs like waiters and bartenders, where the prospective employee would need to interact with customers. If you take the time and effort to visit the restaurant in person you are showing them you are outgoing, pro-active, and really want the job.

Having said that, if you do decide to apply for a job online, either through a job search website posting or through the website of the business itself, you should take the time and effort to prepare your application with care. The online form for job applications will generally have a generic form for you to fill out, as well as a special box for your actual resume. You can cut and paste your resume, but be sure to take care to retain the proper format if you can. And be sure to provide all the information the form requires.

A word of caution about applying for restaurant jobs online: as with other areas of the internet, there are frauds and scams in the field of job hunting. Sensitive information, such as your e-mail address or, more importantly, your Social Insurance Number, should not be given out online unless you are sure you are dealing with a reputable website or employer. If you are unsure that the business offering a job online is a real one, you can use the Web to further determine its authenticity. Hope this helped, and happy hunting!
