How to Be Ready for Awkward Interview Questions
Let's dive in starting with the worst one. 1. “What are some of your weaknesses?” Don’t be cocky and say that you don’t have any or that none come to mind. Choose something that can be perceived as a weakness, but when you explain it, end it on a positive note.
Leigh FisherPublished 5 years ago in JournalHow I Got My First Job
This happened about three and a half to almost four years ago. When I was just 19-years-old and fresh out of high school. I decided during that time I didn't want to be like my other classmates. I decided to go straight in the workforce. It isn’t that hard to find a job once your 18 and have a high school diploma. But, during that time I had no idea what to expect. I was lucky enough to take a class in high school that prepared me for this. Looking back, I can't believe how important that class was and I am thankful for my teacher.

The job search isn't a pleasant process. If you've recently lost your job, you may suddenly find yourself feeling helplessly adrift in a sea of uncertainty.

Life as a Self-Published Author
Reading has always been a huge part of my life. And so, it’s natural that I gravitate towards people who share that interest with me. One of my good friends, Natasja Eby, is a regular participant in National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and just recently self-published her second novel, Knockout Girl (I’m 11 chapters in, loving the characters and the story and no, I’m not just saying that because she dedicated the book to me!).

Leigh FisherPublished 6 years ago in Journal So You're a Comedian? Part One
So you're a comedian? What do you really do? It's the only profession that people will question. Someone could say they are a doctor and we would just be like, "Oh wow! What do you practice?" Say that you are a comedian and you are likely to be challenged immediately. There is no particular process you have to go through to become a comedian, there's no school or degree required, just hard work, and consistently bringing the funny. Let's say you're doing the work and being consistent, it is still very hard to figure out what the next level is supposed to be or how to get there.

ConfessionsPublished 6 years ago in JournalJudgment Day
So I am a fairly alternative person. I have been for years. I got my first nose ear piercing at 16, first tattoo at 18, and started dying my hair at 14. I always knew people judged those with body modifications but had never really experienced anything that bad prior to this story. Sure, I got the usual dirty looks and inappropriate comments that went anywhere from sexual innuendo to "You were so pretty before you did that." To which I responded, "I still am."

What It's Like to Be: A Mime
You know 'em, you love 'em, and you prefer them over clowns: Mimes. You typically think of mimes as a dude in a black and white outfit and makeup, trapping themselves in an invisible box, and trying to lasso you with a rope and pull you towards them, all without speaking.
