People have asked me, why do you work so much? I didn’t really understand what they meant until this last year. Throughout the year, I work 3 different jobs which range, at times, from 5:30am until 8:00pm. Why do you work so much? I don’t do it for the pay, I don’t do it for the recognition. I do it because I want to pay off my bills. I’ve worked the same base full-time job for nearly 3 years, and honestly it’s helped me pay off my debt better than I thought it would....
Job searching is a necessary part of your professional life. However, there are some do’s and don’ts. Right now I’m going to talk about something that hits very close to home when it comes to searching for your next job or even your dream career. While the title of this post hints at what not to do I also want to touch on a few things that you should do....
To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, that is genius. – Ralph Waldo Emerson What is burning deep inside of you? If you could spread your personal message RIGHT NOW to 1 million people, what would you say? If I had the chance to share my personal message with anyone, it would always be the same....
If we live truly, we shall see truly. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Not everyone wants to travel the world, but most people can identify at least one place in the world they’d like to visit before they die. Where is that place for you, and what will you do to make sure you get there? I’ve been lucky… While I was still in school I was able to travel to the one place outside of the US that I’ve always wanted to visit, the Republic of Ireland....
Today’s task seems slightly more daunting than yesterday. Somehow I am supposed to describe my day in only one sentence. Shouldn’t be too hard…right? Author Liz Danzico. “Your genuine action will explain itself, and will explain your other genuine actions. Your conformity explains nothing. The force of character is cumulative. – Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance” My Response: Don’t let today get in the way of the rest of your life; you’ll have struggles but keep your friends and family close, they’re the best support you’ll ever need....
I’m starting to find myself in some tough spots. Last week we had a few guys that were having a rough time even making it through pushing off of a wall without stopping immediately. This combined with the fact that we have a 6-lane pool with over 30 swimmers meant that we unfortunately had to make some cuts. Now for a business example. We (at @UniqueHomeSol) recently setup a marketing group to head up our online, TV and print campaigns....
I know that when I started looking for jobs in college I looked for just about any place that was offering a job. The worst part about it was looking for something within my Degree (BSBA in Business Management). Obviously trying to find a “management” job was out of the question unless it would be lower-level. Target your Ideal Job The best advice that I can even begin to give to Juniors and Seniors looking for a permanent job is to target the type of job that you want not just what you pre-qualify yourself for....
This weekend I decided to head down to visit my girlfriend, who is attending IU Medical School, and while we know that living an hour apart is going to be tough we never realized how hard it was until today around 2:00. She and I have been together for the last five years and honestly we’ve both been rather selfish with doing what we want instead of really thinking about one another....
I’m sure that you’ve heard the old phrase “Don’t Judge a book by it’s cover” but is that really how we operate? I know that I am guilty of judging someone based on their looks. When we are looking for something or someone we look at links, videos, and images. What I want to talk about is your personal appearance, particularly in your online avatar. If you were to show up to an interview in a pair of ripped jeans, a dirty polo and basketball shoes would you be received the same as if you were to show up wearing a professionally cleaned and tailored suit?...
