The Job Ain't Easy and Who Said It Would Be

So I found the article kind of interesting because I have never heard of an employer present an available job in that light. I can see why they would do that because in the major of being a pre-vet you are constantly reminded of how the job can be non glamorous and how you have to work at dirt poor money and how difficult it is to get to an upstanding position in the company. Now the thing is that even though you get much longer lasting employees at the company you can't really say that its all dued to having presented the job in an undesireable light. The thing is that if all my past jobs told me all the bad things that would happen to be I would of course not take the job but at the same time I would never have developed the character of a hard worker or learned how to handle difficult situation. Basically I feel that by deterring certain workers then they are depriving those workers of valuable life and work experience.

Haunted Houses

Halloween is closing in and I'm soooo excited. Today I'm going to a haunted house actually a haunted woods soooooo freaking excited beyond belief. My friend is gonna pick me up at around seven and then we are going to head to easley I think the thing is called Haunted Woods. Ooooh another thing that I'm excited about is I get to freak out my friend with my new cut and color of my hair. It is so different what I usually do but I feel it represent my personality better. I might actually stop trying to find a different hairstyle and stick with this one. Lastly I got my blue hair dye and my costume..... oh goodness Halloween has to be one of my top favorite holidays. Well thats it I might post pictures of me and my friends in our costumes later when we have another free blog topic week.

Interviews

So my mock interview last week was exciting and scary all at once. It was exciting for the fact that I've never had an interview before and even though this one was a mock interview it was still fun to experience it and how it would be like now moving on I was also very scared and nervous because I don't know how it would go and what to expect.
Now what I learned from my experience with this mock interview is that I need to work on my speaking skills because I tend to go on and on and never really quite get to the point in a concise manner lol. Which is the same problem I had on my application letter because I had a lot of run on sentences.
Now the one thing I wish I had done differently was to bring in more of my designs that had color to them to show the dimensions of my designs that is my only dissapointment I had fromt he interview.

Woops

Ok so I completely flubbed on this week's blogged I did this weeks for last week whoops lol. Anywho I have to do last week for this week so if this topic I'm talking about sounds old I apologize hahaha. Well I would like to touch on the topic of new music especially a new greatest hits cd that came out that belongs to one of my favorite musical artist and her name is Natalie Imbruglia. I was so disappointed at first to find out that she won't be releasing her 4th album till 2008 but when I found out that she will be releasing a greatest hits cd that will include four new tracks I believe that should tie me over till then. Her newest single for this cd is Glorious and as the title states it is absolutely glorious. Great upbeat beats and fun lyrics to sing along to. Another plus with this cd is that includes a bonus dvd which includes all her music videos from torn to shiver. The one downside is that I have to buy an import since it technically isn't released in the USA. Overall I would say it is a must have if you are an Imbruglia fan and in my opinion it is worth the extra bucks that import cds usually cost.

Presentation

I think one of the presentations I will remember the most would be the one Quiesha did simply for the fact that I love Amy Winehouse. I think she really did well on the design and the layout of her powerpoint along with great visuals such as the pictures she chosen. The one thing I remember about her powerpoint was her title page where she used her own artwork which made it funky, ecletic and cool.

A Decade, From Today

Well to be truly honest with myself, I truly picture myself living on the beach in ten years time. My career would be in fashion or the fashion industry. I know I stated in class that my major is Pre-vet and it is but the thing is I'm a senior this year and I have finally realize where my heart and true passions lie. I hopefully will be working in fashion design. Most likely in ten years time I will be working with a design firm coming up with sketches which my boss will edit and probably use as his or her own. I see that in ten years I will finally have accumlated enough designs of my own to hopefully enter the show on project runway and be either the youngest, at the age of 31, or oldest contestant for that season. Most likely I will be so focused on accomplishing a steady salary at the design firm that I won't be in a steady relationship. I also believe I will leave a humble one bedroom apt somewhere near a coastline probably in New York considering how that city in particular has some major fashion firms. Alongside working at the firm, I will have a side job owning a boutique which will hopefully carry a few articles of clothings in my own design. I want to be able to create a new line of jeans where any women, of any race, of any size or shape can where and be happy with themselves. All of that seems a lot but this is what I hope to one day be doing in ten years time.

Web 2.0

I think the title describes how the internet or the "web" has advanced since it has first started meaning that in the beginning all you could do on the web was basically chat and I believe send short email messages but now you can do so much more like send pictures, songs, videos, and you can chat with anyone around the world. With the web now being web 2.0 I believe that it could negatively and postively affect people in the workforce. The negative aspect would be, that your employer will have a chance to access anything you may post online such as blogs and if they were to find anything that they would not approve of it might lead to you never getting hired or getting fired. The positive would be that it could help you with job application as well as doing research for the company the person may be thinking about applying to. I think what they mean by you would have to rethink everything is that even though the internet has become a valuble asset to society it seems that we have to be careful with how we handle it and that some rules or regulation may need to be applied in the protection of your own privacy.
