Jobs, everything from applications to handling work!

Have you been job searching yet? Well, I have and let me tell you it is hard especially during the winter since that is a lot of places "slow" season. Right now, I have a job, but it is not going too well for me. So I went out and got a lot of job applications. I have about 5 of them. They take forever to fill out. Honestly, if you want to make a good impression on a place with your job application is to be honest about everything! I mean it; they look for good honest nice people to work because who wants someone that is going to be rude to everyone?? Also, it's really good to have good references. References are people that they possibly call and talk to them about your strengths and weaknesses. Always pick out job application where you would be proud to say you work there. If you get a job and managers or people are giving you a hard time at work just ignore them and try to keep the job. Everyone needs money! Jobs can be very stressful. They can schedule you on days you told him you can't work or just don't give you any hours. Don't let it bug you. It will all get better in time, but if it doesn't you or your parents call in and talk to someone like a store manager. I hope this will help! Thanks. (:

Quote of the Week! : )

"People are lonely because they build walls instead of bridges."

                                                                                                 - Joseph F. Newton Men

Some people wonder why they are alone. There are many reasons for this. The reason in this quote is that people build walls and not bridges. Most of you probably already know what this quote means. For those of you who don't, I'm going to give you my explanation to have a better understanding of the quote.

What does it mean to build walls? Ask yourself about what walls are made to do. They are made to keep things out and to protect what is inside the walls. When you are building walls, you are putting up barriers that doesn't allow people to get close to you. You don't let them know what is in your head, what you are thinking, or even feeling. Also, you could even keep yourself from getting too close to people. Basically, you are keeping a distance between you and others. Why do some people do this? To prevent themselves from getting hurt. Now, what would it mean to build bridges? What do bridges do? They allow things to cross over them, so they can get from one side to the next. When someone does this, they are are allowing themselves to get close to someone, and they are allowing someone to get close to them. So, according to the quote, why are people lonely? They are lonely, because they distance themselves from people and don't let them in with their emotions.

Now that I have explained that a little, I have a question for you. Do you know anyone that builds walls and not bridges? Do you yourself do this? I know someone that does it. They are an awesome person, but fights tend to occur often between them and others. The fights sometimes happen because of misunderstandings. This person will not let people in, and he won't tell them his feelings. Sometimes, people have to know your feelings so they can understand your actions and your point of views. Because he holds it in, it causes his girlfriend not to feel close to him. She wants him just to open up to her. So, if you are like this, I have one piece of advice. Just plain out open up. Take a chance and let it out. You can't keep yourself in a shell forever. If you feel you can trust somebody, then let them in. Don't be afraid. If someone screws you over, then that's something you can learn from. You will start figuring out the type of people you can or can't trust. Good luck to you, and I hope this has helped you with a better view.

Quote of the Week(:

"If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden." - Unknown

I found this quote to be really cute. I stumbled upon it while looking through quotes on the internet and thought it would be a good idea for quote of the week this week. Yes, this is a love quote, and if a guy ever said this to me I would be totally amazed. So if you have a girlfriend go and say this to her I bet she would think you are really sweet. (: Every girl or boy in a relationship should be thought of a lot by their boyfriend or girlfriend. Its like the saying "If I had a penny every time you said that." hahaha. (: I hope you like this poem! Click here to see where I got it from.

Song of the Week! (:

Have you ever been in that horrible stage of the break up where you think they don't care? You would do anything for them and they just didn't care about you. Honestly, they probably did care about you; they just didn't know how to handle a relationship very well. Well, if you one of those people that you would do anything for your special someone but you feel like they won't do the same. Bruno Mars is saying in this song he would do anything for the girl he loves, but she just doesn't care. He is calling her out for what she is doing and that is why I like this song. Listen to this song and tell me what you think about it! Enjoy. (:
