Why You Should Be Advertising on Instagram and How To Get Started
Marketers that have completed successful Instagram ad campaigns will tell you that this form of advertising definitely works. There are 700 million active users on Instagram, your audience is there. Every smart marketer knows to meet their target audience where they already are. This works far better than attempting to corral like-minded people into one area.

Crypto Volatility vs. Instant Gratification
Throughout the history of the US market, there has always been a certain, accepted risk when it came to any individual willing to take the chance with their own money. A small amount of knowledge into any sort of security investment or trading platform will lend you the idea that any market movement comes with a calculated risk.

Audition Is Just a Fancy Way of Saying Interview
So when I started taking classes at The Second City, it was a much smaller company than it is today. You had basically two choices of year-long programs that you could take. Either basic improv (they call it Level A-E) or advanced improv (the Conservatory). They had one student theater, and it wasn't just for students. They had maybe eight classrooms and maybe a total of 15 teachers. Today, they still have those two programs, but they also offer year-long programs in writing, musical improv, filmmaking, and acting. They also have classes in just about anything you can think of, from movement classes to making online content. Not to mention, you can now major in comedy as part of your degree through the Second City Comedy Studies program.

How to Decline a Job Interview
It can happen to anyone who's searching for a job. You applied to a bunch of them, then got a callback to your dream job—only to have a callback happen at a place you would only work at if you were desperate. Or, perhaps, you applied to a place with enthusiasm and got a call back, only to read reviews that made you realize it's not the right fit for you. Either way, you will probably need to decline a job interview.

Footnote on the Lunacy of Public Services
I do not, of course, mean that to have public services is lunatic, I merely wish to comment on the bizarre structures and unwritten operational rules which undermine the smooth running of these services. It is foolish to assume that there is any joined up thinking in such institutions. Heaven forbid that an employee or service user should expect one aspect of the running of a school, for example, to marry up with the running of another aspect of that same school. And of course, every employee should know exactly how the winding and contradictory systems work, without ever having had it explained to them. I must have missed the training which taught us how to absorb this knowledge by osmosis.
