Coping with Job Search Rejection
Job seeker’s rejection is most definitely a prime candidate for the list of things that are most likely to cause us emotional turmoil, along with bereavement, divorce, moving house or coping with an illness. It ought to occupy number five on this list for sure. For some of us more seasoned job seekers, many of which would have probably made hundreds or thousands of applications and have been waiting for months or even years for that perfect job, it can be gut wrenchingly difficult to stay afloat, or “positive” as much of the advice out there goes; self-doubt, anxiety, depression and sheer loss of will to live is seeping into our daily lives and social media interactions, whether we realise it or not.

My Adventures as a Pizza Delivery Driver
I had been delivering pizzas for a good six months before I had my first irate customer. Most of the delivery drivers at work use their cell phone as a GPS. I personally like to use my GPS. I enter the address of where I am going into the GPS and the driving device talks to me, to my location, telling me exactly where to turn, and it lets me know when I am arriving at my customer's location.

Hip! Hip! Hooray! It's Graduation Day!
Hello to all graduates everywhere. When I was a toddler many, many centuries ago, my parents, like many other great parents, would read me bedtime stories. One of the stories that made a deep and early impression on my life involved an engine of a train that, when faced with an obstacle, would be known to say, “I think I can. I think I can.” I believe the story was called "The Little Engine That Could" by Platt & Munk. I also believe that you may know it as well.

On My Way (Working for Moeller)
So, like I said, I haven't had many jobs in my life cause, I'm usually pretty good at keeping them. This place however, felt the need to "get back" at my name because my brothers created a shitty look for the family in the time that they were there. The people of the company LOOKED for any reason to get rid of me BEFORE I made it through my 90 day probation. They did it 3 times, and each time it was COMPLETE BULLSHIT but, I had no power over the situations.

I Did It! I Finally Did It!!!
When you were much younger, I am sure that you have heard many bedtime stories. Back then, they were designed to not just entertain you, but to help you to fall asleep. Nothing wrong with that. Believe it or not, these stories were not just stories. They were lessons designed to help you. Some of these tales—like the fables—had a moral for you to think about and learn.
