cover letter

this website does a good job of imparting useful advice to people. i agree with pretty much all of the advice listed, especially since there was a lot of things about cover letters that i didn't know, like tailoring each one to a specific job.

the most helpful advice this website had was the part about the format that the cover letter should take. taking this into account, i will make sure i write a separate cover letter and direct them to each company's needs and expectations.

interview mistakes

the article touched on a lot of mistakes that people tend to make. whether they are the biggest is up to debate, but they are serious mistakes.

i've had a couple of job interviews, and like a lot of interviews, it was a little nerve racking. the best way of dealing with that is to relax and be yourself. pretending to be someone your not is a big mistake to make to someone who is looking to hire you for being you.

the best way to prepare for an interview is to do a little research on the company so you are knowledgeable about job positions, company history, and things of that nature. this way, you can ask intelligent questions and not seem like you came to the interview completely unprepared.

blog, blog, blog, bloooooog


open blog, sweet....
well, don't rly hav much to say, so i guess i'll just ramble aimlessly until i hav a solid topic to blog bout...

thoughts on my mind right now...graduation's comin up prty soon. i'm a lil nervous bout that, needless to say. whereas most of my friends r goin to grad school, i hav to start livin the rest of my life immediately. not gonna lie, that's gonna b hard to do, especially since for the first time in my life i don't rly hav a clear direction. oh, i kno what i want to do, but how to go about that is a different question.

up until now, it's always been school, school, school. first u hav elementary school, then middle school, then high school, then college, so there was rly no question as to what it was i had to do.

i don't wanna grow up, i wanna stay in college forever...never never land, if u will. mayb i'll find myself a lawyer to marry, or win the jackpot...yea, that'll b nice.

sigh, oh well, dream's over, back to the real world. until next time, blog.
