Experience

My latest Facebook status states "What I don't understand is todays stubborn job market. Employers please understand that IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME A CHANCE I WON'T HAVE EXPERIENCE!"


So here is what has been bothering me today. I got a call back from the job I applied to and they told me that they have it narrowed down to candidates that they picked LAST THURSDAY! Well thats not what bothered me. I'm sure the two candidates they picked are smart and can do the job well. They may even have one aspect in common: EXPERIENCE. Now, I know I have no experience and that I haven't exactly graduated yet, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be considered.


The job market is down, its so far down that these employers won't give a newbie a chance. So when I graduate with my bachelors next year, I can guarantee that 80% of the companies I apply to will shoot me down because I lack experience. BUT, see thats me thinking negatively.


So future employers, all I have to say is that I thank those of you that will give me a work experience. As for those that won't, I'm sorry but you MAY be losing a valuable employee. Even though I sound super arrogant and cocky, I know that I work hard and that I am innovative and brutally honest when it come to the work place. I will find a way to do the task at hand no matter how tough it may be. I plan on working hard to reach the top. So those of you that think I lack certain aspects, tough luck. 


Just give me a chance to prove myself. okay?

A change of heart?

I was talking to a family friend on the phone last night, he was helping me figure out what I should put into my resume and cover letter for the job I was applying for. Alhumdullilah, he helped me so much and inshallah I will succeed with my plans.

But the one thing he asked me was "how are your writing and math skills?", because they were listed in the job post. Of course, this blog came to mind and I know I don't gossip on here, but I do write what I feel and what I know. My math skills, btw are mediocre, only because I didn't do so well in Calculus as I hoped. (but thats not the point) I try not getting personal on here because I never know who is reading it. So while looking back through the last three months worth of posts on here, I realized that this isn't something I would present if I were to show writing skills.

So, while having that in mind and taking a quick glance through Facebook this morning I ran across a friends tumblr post, posted on her Facebook profile. Now, even though she speaks her mind and loves music, her blog for one is presentable, because the topics she chooses to write about actually matter and show how she is changing. Her posts are captivating and real, they show her true feelings and show a real eye for writing.

Quickly reading her post and skimming through the rest of her page, I fell in love. This girl has it going for her and I feel motivated to do the same. I'm not saying that I am copying her or that I am going to write about the same topics, but I am going to make this blog more real. So that means good bye Selena Gomez and hello a new playlist... I could do better.

Good bye, Random thoughts an whimsical posts, and hello reality. Face it I was going to hit this point sooner or later. Now is just way better.

Good luck on future endeavors... yes.

This has been hard.

I have been trying to post this for the past few days... since Wednesday to be exact, and have been running into problems all over the place. Wednesday and Thursday Blogger wasn't responding and I finally found and inkling of a second to post this:

So I was cleaning Wednesday, and decided to fix up my stock of note cards. OMG I love note cards. SO basically I was trying to fit everything into boxes, two large and one small. So hard to do. But I did it and this is how many I have left. And If I ever mention buying or even linger around the card section please please please slap me into oblivion.

All Nighter

So sad that this is my first all nighter all semester, and for History of all subjects too! but Yet I still can't manage to focus and actually just read this stuff. Knowing that I know most of this, being its stored somewhere in my head, I am procrastinating even more. and The funny part this isn't boring its just boring to read. I love reading about philosophy, my favorite is Immanuel Kant. and Yes this is history not philosophy I am studying for. Its the Enlightenment Era, basically the 17th and 18th Centuries. They are so interesting. The way people thought and proved Christianity wrong. It wasn't only about religion, but knowing what you knew. This guy Montesquieu basically wrote about the Science of Law, and the US Government is based on it. Even Laissez-Faire, is such a cool phrase, let people do as they choose.

So this makes me question why we question? Why do we not follow these examples and simply live? Why do we question the question?

I'm too Old for this!

I always think of doing a certain task and forget what I was going to do. I was going to turn on my computer and check something that seems to be super important until I decided I should quickly check my email while I'm here. and BOOM I am distracted and forgot about the really important task I had at hand. I forget things a lot! Like A LOT! I feel so old when this happens and I'm not even at a child bearing age! Someone put me in a old home please!

I also got distracted seeing what random people thought of presents I want to get for my BFF's maybe that was the important task? Which reminds me, I do have to order or place the order at the store for the presents!

No, I can't post it up here so tough luck. I will post pics when or after I give it to them! I can't wait. Its cute but useless, thoughtful and funny, and something I think they will remember. So I'm going to get it. That and if I get them something they expect then, I'm not being me or being a friend. They deserve something totally unique, just like them!

I lurve Writing!

I can not explain how much it means to me to know how to read and write. How much it means to know how to express myself by just simply typing random keys that 20 years ago I had no idea what they were. I am so thankful to the teachers that taught me how to do so and the ones who taught them and basically it goes all the way back to cave paintings or something. But, wow its amazing for me to just click and clack on this keyboard and know that you understand my every word. To know that I can just sit here and know that I am expressing my every feeling through this blog. Thank you world and thank you education and most of all thank you Allah for giving me this luxury.

PS: This is not why I love writing, well, its partially why but I have been writing stories and scenarios that run through my head all day long and today I created two new ones. I have four up on figment.com keyword aamiricle. and, My point, its just another way to show what kind of person I am on the inside. I love every moment of it.

So go over to figment.com and check me out!

PPS I have no time to post links today. I am procrastinating studying for accounting so I am going to go back to that!
