Eagerness, Frustration and Relief

Yesterday ended well, I wrote my first long blog and found a job advertisement near me!

So today I wrote a C.V (resume for Americans) to apply for a Saturday job. My God this was frustrating to write, finding free templates was easy but looking up everything of merit you have done in the past makes you think 'WOW I've done a lot... oh, I'm getting old..'.

Anyone have any tips on job interviews? Hopefully I won't need one due to it only being a part time Saturday job but it would be nice (:

I was 10 when 9/11 happened, this means that this September on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attack I will have doubled in age. Looking back to when I was 10 I would have had no idea what I ould want to be when I grew older. Now, with me being almost 20 I can very happily say that I have made great choices in life, I am very thankful to my family and friends for helping me get to where I am and would not be who I am today without them.

Now less seriously

I am going to start deisgning a backdrop and logo for my blog. So hopefully that will be up soon meaning I can get rid of the plain boring standard one. 
The whole name squixel comes from Squirrel and Pixel so if anyone has any ideas I can use they will be extremely helpful and the person will be mentioned in future blogs.

And now a song, this song is by Bruno Mars and is called 'The Lazy Song'. The album this song is taen from is an amazing album full of big tracks that are recognisable as they are played almost everywhere.


I heard this song a little TOO much today, it literally followed me everywhere, from TV to shops and even in car radios driving past me.
(Video take from official Bruno Mars channel)

The single can be purchased here:
The album can be purchased here:

Hopefully I will do a couple more little posts today, if not on my blog I will do on my twitter account.
Here is the link to my twitter >  Squixels Twitter

See you next time!

Peace

    I remember doing my cv in high school, then after that I just added/took out a few thing every time I'm updating, because I'm way too lazy to make a new one, so it looks like crap :P

    Tip for job interview: Do your research but don't be afraid to ask questions. As long as they're good, employers love it. Keep us updated how it goes! +follow

    They'll definitely ask you really vague questions like "Can you describe a time when you worked as a group to accomplish something?" A lot of questions where you have to recall something you did. Don't be afraid to *ahem* fabricate a little, as long as you are being honest about yourself and how you would do well as an employee.
    And good luck, man. Here in America, there's nothing out there for entry level jobs. I'll have applications out at 10 places, at the VERY LEAST. Usually its upwards of 20 at a time. I make callbacks once a week. No? Not hiring now? Alright, thanks. I appreciate your time. My god, it seems to drag on forever. It's been 5 months now and I still have no job.
