A Love Affair with Communications
Nearly ten years ago, I walked across the stage after being handed by diploma in Public Relations. Recently, I was back at my alma mater to talk to students in that same program about media relations and advocacy. Being back on campus, in the same room where I spent almost every day for two years, had me thinking about my career more generally and, despite the frustrations we all face in our jobs from time to time, made me realize that I truly enjoy what I do.

Failure Doesn't Mean Getting a City Job
Amazing three months working at/with WWE came to a crashing halt on October 30, 2018. I was discharged over a three-day span of “inaccuracies” of logging the WWE programming. I worked on WWE Network version 2.0 that should be out in a six month time frame. It was tough, and I thought about the events that unfolded and moved on. It was for the best. Dwelling on the past doesn’t help the amount of leaps to propel into future.

My Journaling Adventure
"The Story Ends When You End." "The first draft is just you telling yourself the story"—Terry Pratchett. Art has been such a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. Drawing and painting was something that I have loved and would always be doodling, painting, drawing either on paper or on a canvas. Sometimes drawing would help me remember certain things in when it came to studying for school. Then I discovered a new form of art that I never thought I would express and that art was writing.

Applying for Jobs After College
So you spend most of your high school career trying to sound fancy to get into college; writing essays, going on tours, keeping up grades, being the best sport player. When you find the right school you spend the summer before figuring out how you’re going to pay for it, so you get a summer job, committed to get a job during school as well. You study and you work and make friends, have memories to tell your kids, and the next thing you know you’re walking the stage with a diploma with a degree that you’re not even sure you want anymore. You want the degree, just not in the field that you want, probably.

The Impact of a Leave Notice
Hello again, everyone! At a previous job, I got let go from a position due to a two-week notice, and that left me feeling bewildered and betrayed. What’s bad is that it wasn’t the manager to whom I gave the notice that let me go. She understood my situation. It was another manager that found out about it the next day that called my recruiters and told them to tell me not to come back.

The Grass Is Greener in Texas
Hollywood had always been a place where my dreams had the potential to come true. Being that California is known for its movie studios and talent scouts, I envisioned a fantasy of moving out to the Golden State and becoming a star. Even if the chance of a lifetime materialized, I wouldn’t know the first step of achieving my dream.

Non-Profit Job Descriptions
Somebody in charge will be the president, I will be the Vice President or whatever title I can come up with that suits the sort of job description needed. I need to have a consultant, a staff psychiatrist, (maybe because I’m not sure of this one just yet), a staff attorney, (this I know we need), and staff administrative assistant. It’d be cool to get a staff paralegal I can pay well as we all need salaries brought about by donations depending on how far I can push someone twice my size. I also need an experienced public relations person.

Mourning a Job Loss
A lot like the death of anything in someone's life... the death of a job or position is a process to internalize. I recently experienced getting fired for the first time in my life. I've been let go before, downsizing or not making the cut after a probationary time but never fired... ouch!

I Spent a Year Working at an Outdoor Garden Center
This past year I had decided to get a part-time job. While I absolutely love writing, I was turning into a severe homebody who had poor social skills. It was as if the more time I spent alone, the more my conversation skills started to deplete. I was also suffering from severe cabin fever and getting aches and pains associated with sitting at a desk all day long. I could have just went for a run each day and forced myself to talk with a local barista, but a job seemed to be the right fit for me.
