I'd like to take this opportunity to reflect on the past three weeks. First, it's been a whirlwind completing items for this class and that class and working on everything at once. After I've taken the time to work hard on something I like to take a moment to set back and reflect to see if I've done the best that I could have done. The past few weeks I've reviewed the job search, application, and interview process; note: all of which should be considered equally important. The job search is very important because if you don't find the right job chances are you won't get it and if you do you won't be happy in that position. The application! Its a very important step, because if the document is created to the very best of your ability most likely you won't be noticed by the prospective employer. I'm sorry if I were reviewing an application with omitted information or spelling and grammar errors it would go in ...file 13. If for some chance the perspective employer does allow to interview for the position it is imperative that you send a thank you letter to them thanking them for interviewing for such a prestigious position. Finding a job isn't easy in any environment, let alone a recession. However, the ability to find a job during a recession is dependent upon the steadfast determination of the job seeker. If you really want a job work your ass off and you will have a chance to get that job, don't do your very best and you'll be on unemployment - it's that simple.
Over the past few weeks I've learned that I do enjoy taking college courses, who'da thunk it? With that said, I've learned that I want to get a good education, so that I can do what I really want to do. It's important that I finish the education while having an ultimate goal in mind of where I wan to be in 5...10 years.
Derrick's big tip: The Internet is most important in searching jobs, filling out applications and completing college courses. The Internet makes your life easier, so utilize it to the best of your ability and you will succeed with determination!
