How to Gain a Job as a Flight Attendant
One of my goals for the next two years is to have a job as a flight attendant with a reputable airline - preferably one from New Zealand, Australia or Canada. I have a passion for aviation and have attended interviews with Air New Zealand, Jetconnect for Qantas*, Jetstar and Virgin Australia. I know there are a lot of other girls (and guys!) out there who also want in on this sweet gig, so here is a little bit about my experience and some helpful tips to get you going:

Notes from a Site Engineer 3
Before you all scoff and tell me I'm ridiculous - 'what are you on about - dirt! Stupid woman!' - let me tell you one thing. Apparently, not everyone walks onto an earthworks project or a construction site expecting them to be dirty. I had one graduate in particular who actually expressed it as 'it's so dirty' about the site that we were both on. I will admit, my eye roll at this observation was hard enough to give me a headache. Admittedly, because it was a remedial project and an old landfill as well as an earthworks site, that site was more probably more dirty than some. Sites are not hospital wards or microbiology laboratories. Dirt is, let's be honest, very much the nature of the beast.

The Power of Social Media
I'm an aspiring model, and the most common thing I get asked is how I got into it. Now, I'm not yet what I'd call successful, so take everything with a pinch of salt, but I think a lot of people would agree with the things I have to say about the power social media can have on success. Though I haven't reached my peak yet; I'm not Insta Famous and I don't have tons of contracts with big brands. I've had a few big successes in my eyes, and I owe a lot of it to the way I've learnt to manage my social profile.

Government Jobs for History Majors
Back when I was in college, one of the first classes I took was with a New Jersey history professor. When we had our first class, he told us about how he chose a doctorate in New Jersey history, and how his parents "basically expected him to live in their basement forever."

5 Essential Tips to Consider Before Starting a Commercial Construction Project
Jumping straight into a commercial construction project is hardly a well-thought out idea. In general, projects of this type and magnitude require some extra planning as well as possible permits. Of course, there are other environmental and social factors to consider as well. With that in mind, a thorough prep is necessary before you actually engage in the construction work. In that respect, the following list can help you organize your time, ideas and work in the most efficient way.

My Adventures in Elderly Care
At the age of 18, I graduated high school months earlier than my class, so I had free time to work and do other things with my life I had been severely ready to enjoy. One of the things I had never tried, led me to work in an elderly care facility, unfortunately as a laundry attendant. My shifts consisted of 4 AM -12 PM and/ or 11 AM - 6 PM, five days a week, and in that time I learned a lot about what growing old is all about.
