When applying for my first police job, should I include a list of good Google reviews from my past sales and customer service jobs?

* I(28M) have never had a job in law enforcement before, but I love had several past jobs in sales and customer service.
* I’ve kept a list of past good Google reviews I’ve gotten from my past jobs to try and stand out when applying to future jobs, and I’m wondering if it makes sense to attach it to my application. Is there any reason I shouldn’t?

My regular shoes are a 10.5 wide, but my shoes for work are an 11.5 wide. Do they look too big for my feet?

When I try and wear a 10.5 for work shoes, I can never get my foot to fit due to the width.

What is the quickest and effective way to go from not being able to do a single pushup to being able to do 30 in one sitting?

  • I am interested in pursuing a career in Law Enforcement, but my state requires you to pass a fitness test in order to be a police officer, with one of the requirements being able to do 30 pushups in one sitting.
  • While I understand I can't expect miracles overnight, I would like to be able to reach the required level as quickly as possible.
  • I currently work a retail sales job with a lot of downtime, so any suggestions as to what I can do when I'm at work in order to increase my performance, that would be most appreciated.

Is it safe to have the person at fault to just pay for the repairs, or should we go through insurance?

* I got done with work and found a note saying someone hit my rear bumper and broke my license plate light. They left me their number, and I called and spoke to them. They said they would rather just pay for the repairs out of pocket than go through insurance. Is this usually the case for minor fender benders like this? Should I do it?
* I drive a 2012 Traverse.

Should I even bother applying for a police officer opening for a Village I worked at but was let go from five years ago?

  • A Village near me is hiring police officers, but the problem is that five years ago I previously worked for the Village as a deputy clerk for about six months before I was let go. I was let go because I "did not meet all of the performance requirements for the job", mainly regarding the posting of certain village agendas. The Village was also in a difficult situation at the time, with most of their previous staff having left, leaving me to have to learn how to do my job on my own with very little training.
  • I recently checked the Village's website, and literally none of the people I worked with have stayed there. I have no ill will towards the Village, and I think I would enjoy being a member of its police force.

Would you reccomend that someone attend a police academy before they apply for a job in law enforcement?

* My community college in Wisconsin offers such a course, and I just want to hear your opinions before I make any decisions. I currently have an associate’s degree if that makes a difference.

Would it be legal to be on the payroll and get paid for working two different jobs at the same time?

  • Location: Wisconsin. I currently work in an optical store that is located in a separate big chain retail store. The optical store rents the space to individual optometrists who get paid for performing exams. The store I work at does telehealth, where I take most of the measurements and then the doctor comes in remotely on a tv screen to go over everything with the patient and perform the final set of testing.
  • I am currently only on the payroll of the optometry chain as an optician/salesperson, where I make $25/hr plus 2% commission on whatever I sell. We only have a certain number of hours we can work that can be assigned to me and the other two employees who man the store.
  • However, the optometrist who rents the store and hired the telehealth optometrist has their own set number of hours that they can assign to a technician, whose sole job would be to take the measurements for exams, which is what I'm currently doing right now in addition to making sales. They are currently trying to hire a technician, and who would be paid $20/hr by the optometrist.
  • Is there a way for me to also get paid by the optometrist for doing the exams in addition to what I am being paid by the optical company?
  • While it would be insanely awesome if I could be paid $20 from the optometrist on top of what I am currently making, I highly doubt that would happen. What I'm hoping for is that I could get paid something like an extra $10/hr by the optometrist in addition to the $25 I am currently paid by the optical company. This would allow the optometrist to save $10/hr in wages for the technician.
  • Additionally, the store I work at has also suffered a lot of turnovers recently, and I am currently the longest serving employee with over two-and-a-half years at the optical company, with my other two coworkers each having less than a year each at the company. I am currently looking for a better job, but If I was given this major pay increase, I would want to keep working here for many years to come.
  • This way, the optical company won't have to go through the process of hiring a new technician and getting them trained, and they wouldn't be losing their most experienced employee. I would also be willing to give up my 2% commission as part of the deal, so the optical company would not have to pay me as much as they currently are.
  • Is this even remotely possible, or is it just a pipe dream?
