How To Overcome Job Search Depression During Holidays
Graduates looking for a job often encounter fear and anxiety. For freshers, it is a novel experience, and they are susceptible to fear of rejection and depression. It is natural to be nervous in the due course, but a prolonged situation of anxiety can lead to depression. Depression can have adverse effects on your physical and mental well-being and undermine your chance of securing a job.

Job interviews are a real gamble. Sometimes, people only interview you as a way to "go through the motions" after they selected a candidate. Other times, you start out cold but get a warm feeling after wards. Even more times, it's hard to gauge the poker face of the recruiter you're trying to talk to.

How can I write a scene transition? A short while ago, an acquaintance of mine, who had been thinking about becoming a writer for several years, finally made an attempt at writing a novel. As usual, I insisted that before attempting a novel it is imperative to practice writing short stories, but to each their own. Right?

When I was a teenager I use to go visit my grandmother for two weeks during the summer and she taught me how to paint with acrylics. I loved doing that but also she used to make knitted hats. She had a knitting machine. Boy this thing was huge. It took up most of the living room. I wanted to learn how to do that and so she gave me knitting needles. She showed me how to do two stitches and those were knit and purl. I was trying to make a blanket but it turned out to be a pot holder. I also thought it took too long to do that so I gave it up.

To be a ballerina, is in fact, a real job... "What?! You mean you get paid to wear tutus and dance around? Sign me up!!" Oh, if it were only that simple.

I am a well known fat guy. You're probably thinking "How is that relevant?" or "Why does that matter?" Well in a perfect world, it wouldn't, but it is human nature to judge, to make assumptions based on a snap impression. So no matter how distasteful, no matter how proud you are of your enlightened and modern mentality, it's a good bet that, at least on a subconscious level, you let things like someone's body shape impact how you treat them.
Do You Have Commence-a-Phobia?
Do you have commence-a-phobia? . No not arachnophobia (fear of spiders), not apiphobia (fear of bees) But “Commence-a-phobia”. It's, well, a fear yes. It's my catchy term for fear of starting something.
Writing a Great Synopsis
I AM A REBEL BY NATURE, in school, at home, in relationships, at work; my default is usually to find my own modus operandi to success. When I achieve, as I often do (85% of the time) life is lovely, but when I miss, it's a bitterly-hard pill to swallow, but never bitter enough to start overdosing on the unhealthy prescriptions of others. I still Do It My Way; just with a more learned approach. And in some ways, I guess the process of writing my first book has succumbed to the same (de)fault.
