Finding a job #2

Yestarday I traveled over an hour to get to a factory to apply in person, give them my resume and basically sell myself to the company at their main offices. I was almost thrown out by security because not only was I not a employee of the company but I also didn't have a appointment. Luckily I was nearly 5" taller and about 50lbs. more muscular than the security guard so he seemed to opt to not start any trouble. I left without making a scene since that would make getting a job impossible as well take a chance with law enforcement getting involved. I ended up having to settle for a online application to the company.

Today I was supposed to talk to the owner of a restuarant about a cooking job opening. I got there at 2:30 and waited for him. At 6:00 he still hadn't shown up. So unfortunately I had to just go home.

My thoughts on how things are going are this: Life is going to test you in every way it can using the most unfavorable conditions possible till you are far past your breaking point. If you continue to bend you will eventually break unless you are like me. I have a goal in my life and that is to be with my special someone and have a family. For that goal I don't have the luxury of breaking, but because I have my love and the desire to start a family with her I end up having strength far beyond anything I ever had when I was just thinking of myself. Because of her and my dreams of her and I together I don't allow myself to bend let alone break. I try and look at everything that I plan for us as being a certainty since if I don't have that conviction I will end up breaking.

My advice to others is don't live selfishly, you will gain alot more strength from doing something for the ones you love than doing something just for yourself. Trust me I have lived through some hard times and the only time I feel strong enough to work through it and succeed is when I have my love cheering me on.

I hope those that read this take this into consideration when they feel they are about to break from lifes constant tests. Look to the ones you love for support it will make a world of difference.

Getting Fit

For most people its a war with their own bodies which usually never ends. Most people spend hundreds of dollars and days out of their lives looking for the perfect way to keep fit. Well here is a secret most people don't seem to notice and its simple and doesn't cost you a dime. Everyday take 5-10 minutes and find a place in you house or apartment and lay down and do a set of 10 - 20 sit ups. Yes I know it's not something that shows fabulous results right away but this simple excersise is enough to keep you fit. If you keep to this as a part of your daily routine you will see results as well as feel them. Yes it will take time and it will be hard at first but once you get yourself into it and you start to see the results you will want to do more. Just remember to get fit and stay fit is something that you have to do slowly its not something that just comes to you after intense training because once you are finished your intense training you will most likely go back into old habits. Take it slow and help teach yourself to keeping to this simple excersise going, if you can do that I highly doubt you will regret it.

Finding a job

Finding a job seems like a easy thing to do but its not so easy for everyone. Take me for example I have been out of work for months going on forever. I have applied at over 50 places the past month alone and have only gotten one call for a interview which ended when they said I would have to endure 5 weeks of UNPAID training as well as having to drop out of college because they don't want to hire someone that needs a flexible schedule so they can take classes. The second time I got a reply was this morning right before I went to the interview which said that my pre-employment screening went through and that my resume would be handed over to the recruiter. I am hoping the second one pans out because from what I found out about their company several years ago was that they help pay for college. Next is that they pay well and give good benefits. Even if it doesn't turn out well I have not stopped sending out applications and resumes. This brings me to the most useful tip on finding a job. "Never stop trying no matter how bad things get" because if you do things will end up getting much worst.
