Alright, so I've been putting off getting a Brazilian because they make me die. But at the same time, I've had so many that the follicles are dying and my pubic hair is start to patch. It looks like my giner is balding. (How embarrassing!) I was going to do it yesterday (Thursday) after work but I... Read More
Ive spent the majority of my life trying to be something I wasnt. I grew up on a tiny island off the coast of Florida that youve never heard of. Sanibel is 97.99% White and 0.94% African American. As young child I suffered through brutal bullying and rejection as a... Read More
I'm really happy for you that you are able to do that at this point with as many people as you can currently. That really should pass and I'll be really happy for a lot of people on that day, but you'll be one of the specific ones.
i just wrote a blog two days ago chronicling my "penny lane" days, names withdrawn. i know what it's like to be bullied and persecuted, i wasn't one of the white kids because i was half hispanic, but i wasn't "spanish" enough for the puerto ricans and dominicans growing up. on top of that, i was a teachers pet and a huge nerd.
and i did the uniqueness thing i high school too. i was never voted it though, because superlatives were a popularity contest (i lost out to a girl who wasn't unique at all, she was just a wannabe "hardcore punk" who was wearing abercrombie the year before, but she was more popular)
you should read my cheeseball blog. the one before the video blog one. not to proclaim martyr-dom, but i've been through some fucking rough ass shit since the age of 16, and even before that.
i don't know if i can ever be myself. i think when you realize you can't, you start creating a self you're not. it affects you, but to you it's what feels safe. and it sucks.
i have no idea what i'm getting at here. but i hope you do.
the comments people are leaving about the thread with this video really makes me worried where this nation is heading... I am also not too surprised by their reactions since usually for progressives the answer is always just one more turn of the wheel of more government and spending.
you go apply, they take your resume, ask you some questions, you take some tests on programs you know (microsoft word, excel, phone systems, etc) here is the tricky part: the tests are actually sim programs OF the programs youre testing. so, you can not use shortcuts. still not that hard; I scored high on excel when i had little experience.
then they give you a counselor based on your skills. you call into the counselor daily in the morning if youre looking for work. assignments go for days/weeks/ months. no benefits unless you work a really long stretch of 35 hour weeks at one assignment (like 8-12 months?)
lotsa people out of work right now, but a lot of companies probably trying to get by on temps.
So I've been job searching for... two weeks now? I'm looking for an Manhattan-based part-time admin assist position: secretary, personal assist, executive assist, reception.
Careerbuilder is the most piece of shit site in the world. Fuck that site. Craigslist, monster, indeed, glocap. I can't think of or find any other good job sites. You have any suggestions?
Lead with that. I hire people back from Iraq as a priority. Find out what the local guard unit is. Talk to those folks and find out if they can steer you towards work.
Go the temp route. I am trying to find the name and number of the vendor we used but am having no luck. (I cleaned out my contacts list after I was JD.) But you should try to find a firm that will place you with large companies - conditions are better.
Are you looking for full-time or part? If it is part-time then ignore my advice above. For part-time work try your university or consider something like bank-teller. Good luck and have a happy New Year.
