    Well, depending on what type of job you're going to go for (I don't think you mentioned it or I may have missed it), just the things you listed in the post above can be worded in a way that highlights all of the skills you have.

    "able to deal with conflict and achieve resolution amicably"
    "negotiating successful resolutions in high-stress situations"
    "ability to communicate both verbally and in written form with various demographics (I'm thinking tradies to teachers to stock brokers here)

    You'll find something when you want to - just be imaginative, creative and let yourself shine in your best light. If you need any help 'glorifying' your resume/cover letter, let me know via PM as that was my job for a good 2-3yrs. And believe me - if I could sell someone who has been in prison for 13yrs for deciding that post offices 'don't need the money', I could sure as heck help you if you need it.

    I would just tell the truth and put bar work, bar attendant or something like that. You don't have to mention the topless bit.

    yep, thats what i was going to say. its still work/experience, so no reason it shouldnt be on your resume!

    all the references on my resume aren't even valid anymore- i have the mobile number of one boss.. but the rest i know for a fact dont work at the job anymore... and one job i didnt put a reference at all, as i has a fall-out with the manager(hence why i left) but i still included the job, as i was there for 6 months!

    Roses: they robbed a post office?? Hahaha wtf not a clever one there! I've done retail for a couple yrs but didn't really enjoy it, only bit I liked was the paperwork side e.g. End of day books, management stuff, and I love helping DP with the paperwork stuff he brings home so maybe im more suited to office assistant/secretary...only thing is I went for heaps of these type jobs and never even got a 2nd interview, I think its the way I look...but with retail (clothing stores) they don't mind the 'edgy' thing...wierd considering in an office the only ppl who would c me are the other workers.
