Robert Frost once said, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: It goes on."
Don't let the little things get you down. Don't let the big things get you down. Everything happens for a reason. If you zone out, life won't stop and wait for you. Life will just keep moving on. You don't want to be left behind.

PLEASE watch The Dash. Dear Future Me: You should always follow your dreams. Live the life you want to live. Not the one someone else wants you to live. Become this cake decorator you want to be, own that bakery you want to own, and be yourself. All that matters is what happens during that dash. The dash is all people will remember, so make it worth remembering. Be the best you can be. Most importantly, remember those regrets and improve. You don't want to be the same person that made those regrets. I really hope you have improved and are doing well. #27: Look at this ad. Even though this job advertisement is poking fun at poor employability skills, we all have flaws. Looking at that list and pondering other possible “issues,” which one do you feel employees violate the most? Would you fire him/her for it? How many chances would you give? Do you see students violating these things in the classroom? How should the teacher handle the situation? Use 3-5 sentences to respond. You do not have to answer every question. Employees violate phone privileges a lot. My mom has to keep her phone on her because I am allergic to tree nuts and cantaloupe, but my situation is life and death. People use those types of privileges to text their friends. I would fire them for taking advantage of me. I would give them 3 chances because 3 strikes and your out. Students abuse these rights as well and teachers should enforce the rules and take away their phones. #26: In your opinion, which interview question was most difficult for you to generate a response? Why? What have you accomplished that would make you qualified for this job? That would be the most challenging question in my opinion. I wouldn't want to sound braggy but I also want to have the best answer. If I'm going for a cake decorating job, I don't want to brag and say I was the best in my class, but I also don't want to not say it. I wa #25: Communication, attitude, job qualifications (can you DO the job already or training is needed), and appearance are the top four categories that employers look at when they interview you. Rank them #1-4 (1 best-4 worst) according to which items you feel are most important. Then, tell me why you ranked ____ as #1. #1 would be Attitude. Attitudes are really hard to change. Attitude is important because you need someone with a good altitude already. If someone doesn't have a good attitude, you could be waiting awhile for their attitude to change. #2 would be Job Qualifications. #3 would be Communication. #4 would be Appearance. The real most important order: #1: 40% Attitude, #2 and #3 (tie): 25% Communication and Appearance, #4: 10% Job Qualifications #24: Visit this link. Do you believe it his fair to only hire and sell clothes for the “cool” kids? Describe your thoughts within this journal. Trivia Fact: A&F burns their damaged/defective clothing instead of donating it to places like Salvation Army/the homeless to ensure that “uncool/overweight” people do not wear their brand. I don't think that this is very fair. A&F should be donating the bad clothes to the organizations that give them to the people that need them. A&F should be hiring whoever is best for the job. Some of the non-"cool" kids are actually better qualified for jobs. The title of this article is “What To Wear (And Not To Wear) To An Interview [Infographic]”. This article is by David Schepp. The topic is about what should and shouldn’t wear to an interview. Everyone should know that women shouldn’t wear neon nail polish. It’s a fact that for a professional job, if you don’t look the part, you won’t get the part. The fact is, if you wear booty shorts and a tank top, a lawyer won’t hire you. I agree because I wouldn’t hire someone who wears booty shorts and flip flops to an interview for a cake decorating job. I would like someone who wears a little bit of make-up, a natural shade of nail polish, and a nice outfit. If you’re going to wear a suit, you should wear a fitted suit that is either grey, dark grey, navy blue, or black. If you’re going to wear a skirt, it should match your blazer and should cover your thighs when you sit down. Men should wear ties made of a high quality silk and a color that slightly pops. I don’t know anyone who relates to this topic. I will use this information to benefit me in the future. I will never wear neon nail polish to an interview. I will never wear platforms, stilettos, or pumps. Instead, I will wear a leather pump at about medium-height. I will only use a small dab of make-up that is a natural shade. This can help me get a job so I can enter the work world. This article can apply to our current chapter because our current chapter is about interviews. The article is what to wear and not wear during an interview. conservative (http://definr.com/conservative) adj 1: resistant to change [ant: liberal] 2: opposed to liberal reforms 3: avoiding excess; "a conservative estimate" [syn: cautious] 4: unimaginatively conventional; "a colorful character in the buttoned-down, dull-gray world of business"- Newsweek [syn: button-down, buttoned-down] 5: conforming to the standards and conventions of the middle class; "a bourgeois mentality" [syn: bourgeois, materialistic] n : a person who has conservative ideas or opinions [syn: conservativist] [ant: liberal] Rasmussen (http://definr.com/Rasmussen) n : Danish ethnologist and arctic explorer; led expeditions into the Arctic to find support for his theory that Eskimos and North American Indians originally migrated from Asia (1879-1933) [syn: Rasmussen, {Kund Johan Victor Rasmussen}] #23: According to Robert DiGiacomo, edgy looks, especially those involving the baring of cleavage, skin or tattoos, rarely cut it at the office, unless you happen to work in a trend-conscious field like advertising or fashion. Oddly enough, pajamas are a common outfit choice for teenagers. Do you feel that PJs have their place in school? What does this say about the student..if anything at all? Pajamas should not be allowed in school unless it is a Pajama Day or some sort of spirit day. Pajamas make you think a student is lazy and doesn't care about anything. Pajamas are not professional. If employees can't show a tattoo or a little bit of skin, teenagers, who are close to being those employees, should not be able to wear pajamas. Pajamas are for sleeping in, not wearing as clothes. #22: Describe your job/career search experience. Did you discover locating a job/career difficult? Which one was the most challenging? Why? I did not find it difficult. The most challenging was the Job Career Company side. The left side was really easy because about 45 Meijers were hiring a cake decorator. There was only about 3 companies hiring. Cakes A Bloomin' seemed like the best cake decorator job of the three. The most challenging would have to be the right side with Cakes A Bloomin'. #21: Check out the Google philosophy. If you had 20% of school time to work on a project that could enhance your life (or a class that would enhance to school in some way), how would you use your time? Gaming, sleeping, and the like just doesn’t cut it. I would work on learning more cake decorating skills. I want to be a baker and own a bakery. I could use this extra time that I don't usually have to enhance my skills. If my skills are really good and better than others, I could really succeed in life. I've done some great paintings that I would like to paint on some cakes so I could use my time to do that. |
