Well now---you have come to the right person...
I was a restaurant manager....I started as a checkout person at a Wyatt's Cafeteria....and heard that there were openings for managers...I put in an application and interviewed.
All of the people that worked at the cafeteria I worked at as a cashier laughed at me...I didn't have a degree, but was a nursing assistant and has been in office work for years, and I took the cashier job as just "something different"...
Long story, short...got the job...had to train in Houston for over 6 months...before getting a store back in the Dallas area...
Wyatt's went out of business.....and now I am a stay at home grandmother..who babysits...
