Examine your wicker furniture to spot any pieces poking out. Do this in a well-lit area, or use a map lamp or flashlight to see things clearly. Use your hands to feel for loose ends in place that you may not be able to examine easily close up. Apply a drop or 2 of wood glue to the bottom of any loose ends that are sticking out. Carefully tuck them back into the wicker pattern by pulling the strands together. Hold down the glued pieces for several seconds to allow them to bond to the chair. Do this for each loose strand you find. Once you have tucked in and glued all the loose ends, allow the glue to dry. Avoid touching the furniture for a full 30 minutes so the adhesive can take hold. For the best results, leave the item of furniture in a cool, dry room during this time.

This resume should reflect your education as well as your experience in sales and customer service. Make sure you have people who are familiar with your work that can be references. If you've just graduated from high school and have no experience yet, think about how you can present the kinds of activities you've done in school as potential parallels to your proposed work in a jewelry store. If you sold concessions at school events, that's retail experience. If you were the treasurer for a club or activity group, you successfully budgeted and kept track of the group's money -- great experience for working in a store. If you were part of a team or on the staff of a student publication, you might have helped order supplies. This could translate into experience ordering for the store. In the letter, explain why you want to work in jewelry and the steps you have taken to make yourself an attractive candidate. Explain your passion for jewelry, retail work, and any other relevant skills you may have for the position. It will depend on where you live, but there are typically job-focused sites like Indeed or Monster or others like craigslist that have multiple kinds of postings. Ask around the people with whom you have done informational interviews where their business typically posts openings. Watch for any open jobs. Even if you think you want to work in a small local business rather than a chain (or vice versa) it's always good to apply to an array of positions. You never know what the experience of working at that particular job will be. Few people get the first job they apply for. Keep honing your retail and customer service skills as you wait for a jewelry store job. Talk to the people there and demonstrate your interest. Be upfront about your interest in a position.

As mentioned previously, there are pros and cons to each option that need to be taken into consideration before making a decision. The major con to resigning is that you most likely will not be eligible for unemployment benefits. Some pros to resigning include: Being able to spin your reason for leaving positively. You do not need to say you were fired or asked to leave. The reason given for termination by your employer will be "resignation". You may be able to negotiate a severance package. The company wants you to leave and at this point you may have the upper hand in a way, even if you don't feel like that's the case. In exchange for you leaving peacefully, you may be able to negotiate a severance package to include a few months of pay and benefits. The pros to waiting to be fired can outweigh the cons if you need the unemployment benefits and feel you will be eligible given your circumstances. If you are fired for no reason of your own, you have a very good change to receive these benefits. Additionally, if you feel your termination is wrongful and/or discriminatory, you may be able to file a suit against this employer. On the other hand, the cons to waiting to be fired include: You may not eligible for a severance package. You may receive bad references if another company contacts this employer. Your reason for termination will be stated as "fired" or "terminated" and possible reasons for termination can be disclosed (based on company policy as mentioned previously). For example, "The employee was terminated due to gross misconduct". Based on your evaluation of the pros and cons to both options, you must make a decision and express this to your employer as soon as possible. If you took some time out to make your decision, you will have to request another meeting to include all members in the original meeting. During the meeting: Briefly explain whether you have decided to resign or stay. Keep your explanation simple and professional. Do not get overly emotional or angry. Be prepared to leave that day. The employer may not take any chances and open themselves up to any risk by letting a possible disgruntled employee stay on the premises. If you have chosen to wait to be fired, be prepared to be fired that day. Be prepared to move on once you have made your decision and notified your employer. Since you will be leaving your position one way or another, it is now time for you to prepare yourself for your next career move.
