Giving back, taking back…Yes, I want it all : )

May 12, 2008

I am always on the prowl for new things, ways, to give back…it’s been the focus of much of my Google searching this year, since returning from Singapore last June I would say. It’s like this: If you cannot be near the region/postal code lah, well, you have to act as if you are anyway…

Oh, did I also mention I am a serious procrastinator and that I’m actually looking for a paying job? Aaaah, you know, I’ll find one or one will find me, can’t be worrying about all that with so much on my plate already, right?

This charity organization caught my eye, the woman is beautiful and the tag lines, very provocative:

‘She has THE POWER to change her world. You have THE POWER to help her do it.’

Pretty powerful words, no?

Think I’ll help her right now and then…

I’ll help myself do that find a job thing, take some silver casting classes and jump start my comatose jewelry designs, maybe I’ll become inspired to make the Zen III line since I exhausted and sold all of lines l & ll; yeah, that and get my life/life force/mojo going again, yudda, yudda, yudda…

How I lost ANY of this stuff, even temporarily, to begin with, I do not know…

But, I will tell you this: I f**king want it all back NOW! hahaha…


Job Fairs…

April 30, 2008

Ok, so I haven’t had to sell myself to a prospective employer in many years, but even so, when I perused this ‘job fair’ site it had a drop down menu on it. One drop down had a ‘what to wear’ tag, wait a minute, professionals looking for a job don’t know that they shouldn’t wear ’sweat suits??’ Oh, that and they give good coverage to that age old question…’tell me about yourself!’

You’ve got to catch this video, you’ll love her wig and the ‘yoga’ toe picking, hahaha…

Ugly interview

I think I can do a bit better – (I hope) – wish me luck, ah, actually this is just a ‘practice’ thing for me, there really aren’t any companies listed on the job fair site that I’m dying to work for, just want to see if my own ‘tell me about yourself’ story flies : ) – till manana…!
