Hannah vs. Unemployment
Admittedly, I have been extremely fortunate not to have experienced long periods of unemployment. Having said that, the experience I do have allows me to empathise somewhat with those of you that have. There are very, very few things in this life more demoralising or soul-destroying than being on the hunt for a job. You’ve more hoops to jump through than… than… than someone with lots of hoops to jump through. It seriously can be a bottomless pit of irritation and disappointment. Life quickly turns in to a hideously bleak cycle of weekly CV sprucing, lengthy application questions, the trolling of every job site imaginable, setting up endless job alert emails (ironically mostly alerting you to jobs you don’t really want), being over-qualified, being under-qualified, being too inexperienced, sweaty interview handshakes, sweaty interview rooms, general sweaty-ness, and of course, after enduring all that, let's not forget that delightful, bitter sting of rejection.
Hannah WimpennyPublished 6 years ago in Journal10 Things Fast Food Workers Want You to Know
To start off, I'm a student, and my life is incredibly busy right now. I chose to work fast food because I love working in a fast-paced environment, and fast-food offers a lot of flexibility as far as scheduling goes. Some of my favorite things to do at work include making and refilling drinks, organizing orders, and running back and forth to restock supplies as we need them in the midst of a rush. However, for some, these are the most dreadful parts of fast-food. The experience of working fast-food is different for everyone, but there are still a few things that all fast-food workers can agree on and want you, the consumer, to know.
Kaylee RideoutPublished 6 years ago in JournalWhy Our Portfolios Miss Obama
The early days of the Trump administration, market euphoria was in full effect. In a matter of months after Trumps election the S&P 500 rose by about 30 percent. However, come February, volatility started to spike and the S&P 500 lost 10 percent in about two weeks. This was due to treasury yields approaching three percent which is the highest it's been in recent years along with deficit spending and unclear expectations of what is to come in the near future regarding interest rates, debt, and inflation. The Trump spending plan, that is characteristic of a struggling economy in need of stimulus, in the midst of a very healthy economy could lead to hyper inflation and an increasingly scary debt. Some of these fears were sparked by some political decisions backed by Trump and the Republican Congress. They decided to go forward with tax cuts while simultaneously increasing government spending which will do a number on our already huge deficit. Not to mention the increasing interest rates meaning the treasury will have to pay more on this debt. The economic and financial scene in current times look a lot different than they did when Obama was in office.

These are just my opinions but if you sympathize with them then great maybe they will attach one of them to their website in the future updates.

Adulting. This is a word that all people from the age eighteen (sometimes even younger) and up can all relate too. Whether it's bills, having to work, or grocery shopping, "adulting" we all know, is not fun.
