Job Interviews: something to Fear?

June 30, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

Sooner or later, everyone must face the daunting task of interviewing for a job. Whether it’s for just a job to keep your bills paid, or if it’s the dream job you’ve always wanted, there are many things that you have to remember before you can get that job that you so desire.
Most people assume that the most important part of a job interview is showing up well groomed, but there is more to it than that. Everything that you could ever want may be riding on your behavior at a job interview. The smallest thing can mean the difference between your having a new job, or you’re still pounding the pavement trying to score a new interview.
You can find much more info on this subject on the Resume Writing Tips website.

I Can’t Believe I Misplaced My Ipod Case And Phone Case

June 26, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

My Camera holder is stuffed into my junk drawer with a bunch of other random items that I never look at and will probably never even use, I should probably just throw them away . The random things in the drawer consist of rubber bands, business cards from people that I have met along the way, a lot of change, safety pins, about ten million pens and pencils and some old pictures . If I am really lazy I’ll throw my checkbook and bank statements in there, but I usually end up cleaning those out after a few months or when it gets to the point that I can’t even open the door . There’s also a lot of things in there that I put in and forget about. The other day I was going through it and found my old high school class ring. I swear I didn’t even buy one of those things, but apparently I did because my name is on it . It could possibly be another Mike, so it’s possible that it isn’t mine . I have friends over a lot and one of them might have left it here on accident . It is possible it isn’t mine, but it seriously gives me the creeps just looking at it, bringing back memories from high school . It’s got an ugly green gemstone on it and this moldy-looking brass metal making up the actual ring. It quite possibly could pass as jewelry for a cheap fortune teller who steals all your money with your fake fortunes . But when I was in high school that kind of ring with the antiqued look was apparently in style, at least within the walls of my school . But back then no one had good taste in music, clothes or jewelry, usually people don’t gather a sense of style until they graduate high school .

I Wish I Could Find The Cell Phone Case And Ipod Case I Have Been Looking For

June 20, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

My doctor put me on this new pill for depression, but I always forget to take it so my mom suggested that I put it into my Camera holder. When I first started taking the drug I would take it in the morning right when I woke up because it was right next to my bed with a glass of water. However, one of the drug’s side effects, at least one of its side effects on me, is that it makes me extremely drowsy. While I was on my way to work traffic was so bad that I kept falling asleep from the medication . While patiently waiting for traffic to move I would randomly think of something odd and then next thing you know I was passed out behind the wheel . The scariest part of the episode was when I fell asleep when traffic began moving and almost hit a barrier even the grates didn’t wake me up . Fortunate for me I woke up just in time to realize that I was about to die and swerved back into traffic . I realized that I can’t take them when I am on my way to work so I try to take them right when I get to work . Usually work keeps me awake enough so that I don’t fall asleep while I am working . By the time the workday is over, any drowsiness I’m feeling is gone and I’m fine to drive. It usually takes a while for the pills to kick in and start working effectively but for some reason my body really took to them so I am already feeling better after only a couple days . The pills take my mind off of worrying about petty things so I can focus on the good in my life .

Family Affair Of Power Wash Illinois Colorado And Residential Patio Cleaning

June 20, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

My entire family has done some sort of blue collar job from plumbing to painting to Residential Deck Staining. Carpentry, being an electrician, or whatever else is what my family always did. They thought that when I eventually grew up that I’d work in a mill or something. I don’t know how to use tools or anything. I’m not handy. I would not trust myself to be given a screwdriver and especially not a power drill. That’s how fatalities happen. It all starts with that sort of carelessness. Unfortunately I did not understand that I would be expected to take this position when I grow up or I might have put a little effort into learning what it was all about and attempting to acquaint myself with the world of tools and power drills and saws . The son takes up the father’s job and his son does the same and so does his son and so on and on and on. So of course there was a lot of stress on me to go to work for my dad, my entire family and even my friends didn’t see how I could do anything but . Everyone was really confused when I wasn’t exactly what they thought I was going to be . I guess it really isn’t their fault, they had bred so many tradesmen . My family was used to the way things have always been so I guess I caught them off guard when I wasn’t exactly like them, actually I was the farthest thing from being like them .

I Love My New Walkway Cleaning And Pressure Washing Illinois Colorado

June 18, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

When I was younger and living with my parents, I’d stay home from my college classes when something needed to get done. If the cable was being installed, I stayed home. If a phone line was being put in, I stayed home. I even stayed home for a Residential Deck Staining. So when I moved out and got my own apartment deeper in the city, I expected one of my parents to stay there while I got my cable or phone line put in while I was at work. Unfortunately they did not see it the way I did, so they never came to wait while I was working . They both claimed they didn’t have the time. When I was younger, I really didn’t have the time. I missed out on a lot of important notes I could have been taking during my college classes. I once had to miss a test because the plumber was coming that day for a pipe that had broken . In that case I did reschedule the test but it wasn’t like I could study while the plumbers were there, my mother is very possessive of her things and didn’t want strangers around them, as they might feel the urge to take her antique glass elephant . My main point is I went out of my way to help them and they don’t do the same for me when I need it. It’s not like they gave birth to me and put up with my sorry butt for twenty three years of my life for free while I free loaded in their house during my college years, I must say that I am a sorry excuse for a son and very ungrateful for all that was given to me .

Success is about Choosing

May 28, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

You can choose success. Do you believe this? If you do not then you have chosen (yes chosen) a different route and success will not be a prominent feature! Success is about choosing what you want in life and taking the necessary steps to achieve that goal. Success is not stopping until you get there!

Read the last two sentences again. Easy to say but how do you get there? What are the choices made by the successful? What are they doing differently from everyone else?

Choose to remove whatever is holding you back. Has something happened in the past to affect your self esteem? Do you immediately have negative thoughts as soon as money and success come to mind? If you are not choosing success then it is likely that something is blocking your ability to change and follow a new path. To remove the block you must have focus. To have focus you must first have an all consuming dream of where you want to be. Only when you have defined that dream can you start to focus on it. Focus so intently that everything you do is done with your dream in mind. Only then can you move toward that dream.

Choose to live your success. Live your life as if you were successful, as if you had already achieved the goal that you are focusing on. When you are at work, visualize what your workplace will be like when you have reached your goal, and place yourself there. Sit at your desk as if you were running the multimillion dollar business that you are focusing on. When you get into your car, visualize what your dream car will be like and see yourself sitting in it. Visualize yourself driving away from your dream house. When you are in your home - look around it and see your new surroundings. Get inside the feeling - really be there.

Refining your writing process is key to your writing success

May 27, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

Many struggling writers are convinced there is a secret to the success of more confident writers. There is in fact a secret but it is one that you too can embrace to improve your writing. The simple truth is that refining your own personal writing process to your unique strengths and weaknesses can not only make writing easier it can also improve writing as well. Every writer’s writing process includes the same basic five elements: inventing, organizing, drafting, revising, and editing; however, in order for the writing process to improve writing that process must be tailored to fit the individual writer’s strengths and weaknesses.

Invention is one area that many beginning and struggling writers simply do not spend enough time on. Many beginning writers believe any time not spent writing is a waste of time. However, experienced writers know that the more time spent thinking about and preparing for the writing task then the less time that will need to be spent on actually writing. Invention might simply include thinking but writers can also use various methods to brainstorm from free writing to clustering. Experiment with many types of brainstorming and invention to determine which methods work best for you.

Organization is also a key part of writing preparation that many novice writers do not give proper attention. Depending on the length and complexity of the writing task this can take a lot of time or very little time, but do not overlook this important element.

Sat Test Score: What You Need To Know

May 26, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions No Comments →

Most students and their parents worry about getting into college, and worry more about getting into a good college. Many people have their own idea as to what colleges look for in potential students and how college admissions decide on who gets to attend their school. Of course, what type of student you are will influence what worries you most about getting into college. Colleges say that about 35 to 50% of their decision is based on your high school record. A few things that colleges say will influence their decision are what courses you took and how well you did in those courses. And yes, they do look at whether or not you took difficult courses and how well you handled them, they will check to see if your grades improved during high school, as well as whether or not you let your grades slide a little during your senior year.

They also claim that about 25 to 40% of their admissions decision is based on test scores. Both the ACT and SAT test are used to evaluate applicants, showing them how well you would handle problem solving, reading and other basic skills. This is one reason why SAT test preparation is vital if you want to do well and improve your SAT test score.

A SAT test score can provide the college with valuable information; however, they are also interested in you as a person. Anywhere from 5 to 20% of their decision may be influenced by community service and other activities, as well as the same amount for essays and recommendations. College admissions want to know what is important to you. They are interested in both your strengths and weaknesses and how they are likely to affect you in college life.

Taking SAT preparation classes and a few practice SAT preparation classes improves your chance of getting a higher grade and that along with taking AP (advanced placement) courses shows the college admissions what you are capable of and that you are serious about furthering your education. This is essential if you already have a particular school in mind, as the grades and whole high school time period are under scrutiny.

January 16, 2008 By: Dr. Digger Category: Admissions, Education No Comments →

Another thing that will get points taken off is slamming on your brakes. It is important that you know how to come to a slow, smooth stop. It is also imperative that you can take off smoothly as well without jerking the passengers around inside the vehicle. The examiner will be grading you on whether or not you position your hands correctly when steering your vehicle and making turns. They will also be checking to make sure you are comfortable enough to use the basic features of your vehicle.

The examiner will be grading you on how you judge distances and whether or not you obey the posted speed limit signs. You will need to be able to back up your vehicle and know how to do all parking including parallel parking correctly. Merging in and out of traffic is important and must be done smoothly and carefully. One more very important thing that you will you will be graded on will be your courtesy.
