Job Hunting During a Pandemic
By: Heidi Roth
Tags: Pandemic, Job Hunting, Humility, Career Change, Optimism

Calm down — I’ve admitted countless times to myself and others that everyone is replaceable. A highly skilled orangutan could probably bring what I’ve got to the table. But there have been times, in the past 60 days, when I’ve questioned whether or not I actually have the right stuff.

Did I spread myself too thin at my previous job and become the dreaded Jack of all trades, master of none?

Am I not active enough on LinkedIn? Am I too active (in my case, doubtful!)?

Am I not representing the experience I bring to the table in a meaningful or memorable way?

It’s good to have these thoughts from time to time. It helps us with the being humble part. It also reminds us that yes, there is room for improvement. But while I’m certain I was not the right fit for all of those 65 jobs I’ve applied to, you can bet your SWEET BIPPY I’ll be an amazing addition to a team of kickass creatives in some organization that is going to be tickled pink to have me join them in taking over the world.

Because that’s what I’m looking for: an opportunity to join forces with people who produce work that really matters, whose vision and mission align with mine*.

Should You Wear A Suit To Your Job Interview?

This is the eternal question: Should you wear a suit to your job interview?

YES.

I mean why not? You have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Here’s the deal, suits turn you into the final boss. It is your ultimate form if you wish to gain respect.

Why? Because of what it means to society.

Everyone and their mothers believe that suits are the symbol of professionalism. It is literally a staple for clothing AROUND THE WORLD. Businesspeople wear it. CEOs, bosses, owners, whatever. You see them being worn by the top ranking officials of government, so they’re definitely worth a degree of prestige.

There’s a reason why people say you can never overdress during an interview, even if you’re applying to Subway. Like seriously, first impressions MATTER.

By wearing a suit, it shows your interviewer that you took the time to prepare. It shows that you care. It shows you understand that the atmosphere of a workplace is NOT the same as at home. They need you to recognize this because YOU will be representing THEM if you’re hired. Appearances matter.

I understand, not everyone likes to wear button-down shirts and slacks, but that’s just something you’ll have to get used to. The dress code might relax a bit AFTER you get the job, but NEVER BEFORE. This is the time when you need to be on edge and be PREPARED. Wearing a suit is part of that.

Always dress well for your interview. Good luck.
How to Get Your First Programming Job
Tags: Job Hunting, Productivity, Programming, Software, Development Startup

My Story

I’m a self-taught software developer. In 2015, I quit my job and bet on learning to code. After ten months, I had spent most of my savings and had no job.

I felt like I knew how to code, but I couldn’t seem to land a job. I was sending many applications and had a few interviews and even one workday trial. All for nothing. There was always a better candidate, and I was on the brink of depression.

At one company, the recruiter accidentally sent a rejection email to all candidates using CC — not BCC. I could see everyone’s emails and I discovered how many candidates were discarded. There were almost 70 of us. No wonder I was rejected. What were my chances of beating so many skilled junior developers?

That day, I decided to turn the tables.

I stopped replying to job postings. Now, it was me who would pick the employer — not the other way round.

I looked for companies in my area that built cool things and asked them if they needed a junior’s help. I sent five emails and had two interviews, both ending in job offers.

I became a professional software developer.
美國軟體工程師履歷準備技巧
By: Chris Cheng
Tags: Resume, Software Engineer, Job Hunting

最近有同樣是轉領域的朋友問我如何寫一份好的履歷 。身為同為轉領域的人，我想分享一下自己準備履歷的一些想法和經驗。此篇除了分享如何寫履歷外，也會分享一些轉領域者準備第一份履歷的經驗。

Photo by Bram Naus on Unsplash

基本觀念：

首先要知道的是在現在競爭激烈的CS/DS領域之下每個HR每天可能都要看不下百份履歷，所以履歷的精簡和精準就能幫助你容易脫穎而出。下面會分享如何善用關鍵字讓履歷更容易被篩檢出來。

如何讓履歷更精準精簡？

很多研究指出HR平均花10sec看一份履歷，為了讓HR更快的掃描你的履歷並且被選中，關鍵字就變得十分重要。

HR快速掃瞄履歷時，如果有他想要的關鍵字才會詳細去看project的內容，甚至有些HR懂的技術不多只看有沒有他需要的關鍵字而已

建議去LinkedIn, Glassdoor, indeed 或公司career網站 查詢相關職位的qualification大多需要哪些技能哪些關鍵技術

有了概念後去修改履歷強調出你具備這些技能，在哪些project裡面應用到這些技能。關鍵字可搭配粗體字讓人資更快找到

Example:

以上是我去Linkedin 找到的某大公司Hiring Qualification，大致上會分成Basic Qualification 和 Preferred Qualification。可以發現裡面提到了MySQL, Cassandra, Large-scale distributed system. 如果你剛好有這些方面的經驗就可以在履歷上對此多加著墨。如果沒有這些經驗多看看公司職位的qualification也可以了解業界目前的熱門技術，當作之後學習技術的參考。

另外，語句撰寫的好是能讓你的Resume看起來更專業更有重點, 提供一些tips讓語句看起來更有力度

Keyword: 描述問題和技術善用關鍵字，利用技術關鍵字說明你利用了哪些技術去解決哪些問題 Focus on impact: 說明你這個project對整個team產生了什麼影響，最後的結果有什麼影響力 Quantify your accomplishment: 善加利用數字來增加你履歷的力量，HR也更能從中量化你個人的成果。可以是amount, cost, time Action verb: 利用動詞開頭能讓你的語句更簡單且有力的呈現出自己的貢獻。 Example: Implemented, Improved, Built, Developed, Automated

這裡提供一個我自己會用的簡單小公式：

Action verb + Accomplishment + 技術

Example: Reduced 10% of XX server latency by using Redis as a cache

排版

Resume以一頁為主，頁數太多HR也沒太多時間全部看完，如果你的經歷豐富超過兩頁我建議只放上質量比較高的project即可。 字體不宜太小 10 — 12為主，行距切勿太緊密 跟你想找的工作無關的經驗不要放 切勿有錯別字 利用好的結構、順序

履歷結構和順序有很多種寫法，這邊提供我自己覺得不錯的：

New grad:

Personal info: 姓名、電話、Email、地址、 Linkedin、Github Education: 學校、科系、GPA(太爛就別放了) Skills&Tools: 例如C++, python, SQL等等。盡量只放自己真的熟悉的技術 Intern Experience: 有實習經驗的話非常好，可以詳細寫出你在實習期間做了什麼專案、對公司作出了什麼貢獻 Research Experience: 學術研究經驗 Projects: 課堂專案、side projects Courses: 如果以上內容還不夠填滿你的Resume，可以加上修過的課程

Experienced:

Personal info Skill: 有個說法是skills放越多的代表這個candidate越菜，所以建議只放自己真的有一定了解的技術，只摸過一點皮毛的建議不要放 Work/Intern experience: 有工作經驗以後，此欄位就是你整個履歷最重要的內容，在面試時最常被問到的就是過去工作經驗，所以需要好好花心思在此。 Projects: 除了工作以外如果有side projects可以展示出你對技術的熱誠 Education: 有一段工作經驗以後學歷就變得不是那麼重要，建議順序放後面一些

如何充實履歷？

轉領域的人常常會遇到自己做過的projects太少不夠塞滿resume，我剛轉領域念Computer Science時也有這個問題，我建議可以去以下幾個地方找些project來做：

線上課程如Udemy, Coursera都會有以projects為主的課，找些自己有興趣且Projects質量較高的課程來修。 如果還在學校，可以找系上教授問問有沒有Projects可以參與 去一些Open source論壇找自己有興趣的project參與，網路上很多如何參與open source project的教學可以參考

projects做完如果可以盡量放上去github。放上去github可以向HR和Engineering team 證明你真的有做過這些projects。建議可以在project目錄下寫個Readme.md，內容可以包括目的、技術與框架、功能、專案架構、如何make&run、demo video、結果。

結語：

履歷的準備是絕對不可以忽略的一環，履歷就是你給HR的第一印象，沒有好的第一印象就算再有能力、面試準備的多完善也拿不到面試門票。好的履歷絕對可以幫助你多拿到幾家面試！

謝謝大家耐心閱讀，希望這些分享有幫助到你

3 Competitor Analysis Frameworks to Help You Secure Your Dream Job
By: Careers In Gov.
Tags: Job Hunting, Careers, Career Advice, Jobs

Searching and applying for a job can consume a lot of time and effort. Not to mention, applying is getting more and more competitive than ever before. With so much competition, you may wonder how you can put your best foot forward. The best way to do so is to understand how you stack up as a candidate against the competition.
Talk about interviews conducted these days.
Tags: Job Hunting, Job Search, Job Interview, Jobs

Talk about interviews conducted these days.

It’s very rare to have a good interview experience these days, unless you have been referred by a senior most person(if you know good people and luck favours) and also mastered the expectations of all the interviewers in a short interview span of 30 mins to 1 hour.

There’s people who would genuinely give you time and consider you human that would make mistakes, but also understand and respect that you come with an experience or education background and that you are capable of learning and adapting as you did over the years.

Is there a perfect candidate for a job?

Initially the focus is on engaging more candidates, to show the interviews are being conducted. The candidates preferred should have considerate experience and be immediate joiners. Later on if you can’t recollect exact definitions and concepts, you will be told that you have a gap and you need to study for an interview.

I mean not everybody is lucky to have that experience but may be he/she wants to have a career change. In that case your profile will not even be screened.

For a candidate with experience and when out the job. The number of interview expectations, patterns and people he/she has to go through is mentally exhausting. Even our computers are limited at some point.

Companies talk about equal opportunities. But how can a 1 hour interview make our years of experience/education look like nothing ?

It’s not like our interviewers are all-knowing and all-rounders, they are good because they had the opportunity to work and learn. Extending a job opportunity to break a person at an interview is a complete disrespect and not a protocol of a good interview.

The amount of stress a person handles while going through interviews is way beyond the time and strength invested by an interviewer in hundreds of candidates.

If you are somebody that has given many interviews and has still not had a job. Keep making progress, keep pushing yourself, ultimately you are growing, don’t let some random person look down on you just cause they are on the easier side of life.

New York, London, Dublin, Glengormley. (Wink-Wink)

Over the last few years my career in Graphic Design has been slightly turbulent to say the least.

Being laid off, job-searching then taking on positions where I knew deep down I was going through the motions, not learning and not developing.

So! Taking this on board I’ve decided to set up on my own. I don’t know what this entails. Whether it’s a side-hustle, freelance, or who knows, starting an agency maybe.*

A case of just getting the ‘word out’ and seeing what happens?

SKILL-SET

Coming from a ‘Design for Print’ background my skills include Design for Print - Brochures, Booklets, etc. Presentation Design, Branding and some moving image.

If anyone thinks my skills can be of use, or if anyone has any advice on starting up their own design gig, please feel free to reach out.

Thanks for reading.

Top 3 Fundamentals of Avoiding Colossal Cover Letter Errors
By: Chris Mielke
Tags: Work, Job Hunting, Startup, Jobs, Startup Lessons

In a small game development studio or startup, there usually isn’t a person who is an HR professional who is looking at resumes they receive — it’s usually the producer. In the case of one of my past studios, the unlucky individual was me. We didn’t have an applicant tracking system (ATS) that could filter unwanted applicants. I guess I should have paid for that service, but we needed to save money.

As a part of my job responsibilities, I reviewed prospective job-seekers for three years — and in this timeframe, I calculated that I had reviewed almost 1,000 resumes and cover letters. We hired only 65 in our studio at the time — so if you figure how many we accepted into the studio, it was less than 1%. So I think we did a pretty good job of reviewing candidates — but I the lone rock in the seawall that the endless flood of applicants broke upon.

Some days I wanted an eyewash station next to my desk to give my eyes some relief after reviewing some strangely written resumes and poorly composed cover letters. After this experience, I had immense respect for the men and women who are in the HR field who do this daily and also for the software that would distill down the resumes to the ones that were viable candidates.

What I remember almost three years later were the crazy mistakes that people would make in their cover letters. As a result of my trial by fire, I decided to relate the top three fundamental errors I saw during those scarring times.

The Girl who laughs at funerals..

Tags: Rant, 3am Ramblings, Random Thoughts, About Me

I Suck at telling a story!

I also laugh and smile at Funerals which unfortunately I can't help because I'm anxious among other things and for whatever reason, that's how I act! I also don't make sense, have a problem with staying relevant and having a flow with narration. I understand yet I cant conclude. Not a very problem-solving kinda mindset. I'm curious, Prefer asking questions than making a point.

Dyslexic but will learn languages as a hobby. Which is plenty of effort yet fun as they say nothing comes easy. Some say I'm obsessive when I'm intrigued with something or someone. Also, I'm a mad confident person, although to what end though! I’m all about me yet not really, Love being kind and don’t get why kindness is so underrated in this World that I’m experiencing.

Connecting is not a problem, can never possibly be lonely Yet some people's company couldn't possibly make me feel anymore alone! It’s definitely them for sure not me. So polite but so informal at the same time, yet so widely accepted by whatever reach my life has! Being self-aware can be empowering or reassuring.

Promiscuous over Dark! Could be a coping mechanism or a trait or a Lifestyle choice even. Ethics & Values are tangent things. I mean, Everything is so damn relative anyways.

It’s all random, messed, and scrambled. I Struggle up in my mind yet I have a comfortable life.

Being privileged is confusing when tragedy is the core theme of my endgame.

But yeah! whats up with 2020 though¿

Do I Have a point? — NO However, Do I have a personality — you betcha I do!

Is this me? or a made-up persona? — Sorry! I Like to keep them guessing :*

Does this make sense¿ — you tell me yo! ;) | Do I think I'm funny — yes

Do I think this is funny — Later someday when I read this on a very sober and refreshing morning, It could be!

Why — This may be my “I think therefore I am” moment but when I stumbled upon the medium it asked me to

I was like challenge accepted, that's how this came pouring out of my mind on to the keyboard at 3 am which might be a contributing factor. But yeah even I wonder! ‘Why though¿’

About Me — Laura Misener

Hello! I was born and raised (and am still living) in Nova Scotia on the east coast of Canada. I work full time in a coffee shop and I absolutely love it!

I have been involved in horseback riding since I was 9 years old and have a horse named Maggie Mae who has been my best friend for the past 20 years.

I am an animal lover, an amateur baker, and I love a good Dad joke. I also love words. A few of my favourites are “synecdoche,” “litotes,” and “solemnity.” If you have a favourite word, I’d love to hear it!

When I was in elementary school, writing was my favourite subject. From a young age, I enjoyed being creative and using my imagination and wrote many short stories. Due to everything and nothing, writing has been on the backburner for me for quite some time — until now! I am so excited to see where Medium takes me and to find out if there are any creative writing juices left in my veins.

I expect I will write mainly poetry but I am not limiting myself. I like to write from both experience and inexperience and use writing as a tool to understand, interpret and expand my perspectives.

Who is The Despicable Hippie?

Courtesy of the Author.

The Despicable Hippie is a brand created by a 27 year old man, born and raised in Portugal. A young man who, who does not know him, says he is antisocial, for being silent and isolated from others. But in fact, this young man is just entertained in his thoughts, writing down the new information, which his subconscious sends to his conscious, and he makes it come true.

This young man built a house on the back of a VW Transporter T4,(with the help of his father), using materials that other people considered garbage, a house with electricity, produced by photovoltaic panels, a kitchen, a sleeping area, and a work area.

This young man took some time to understand how the world, he was involved in, worked, so he started to control what could be controlled, and lives a life most people don’t understand.

This young man is a worker, not afraid to get his hands dirty, and work in jobs that society finds deplorable.

This young man will start a journey towards Vietnam, in the van he built, not knowing why, just knowing that he has to make this trip. Whoever wants to follow him, at the end of this article, the website link will be available.

A blurry but happy me, featuring the love of my life in the background.

Optimistic might be a bit of a reach. Realistic skewing towards pessimistic would be a better fit. But, it’s cool.

I am from a beautiful little island called Sri Lanka. With a BSc. in Psychology, I’ve always liked the practical side of the subject. My career path has just begun; I’ve been trying my hand at digital marketing. My passion has always been writing about anything that interests me. I am on medium to talk about personality development, positive psychology, digital marketing, empowerment, relationships and lifestyle.

I spend my free time people and nature watching, practising yoga, reading and trying all sorts of new things out. I am a very curious person with an old soul.

Just seeking to make sense of life through words. And research.

Where I’m headed

Who knows. In this world of too many options, life isn’t easier; it’s harder. How the f*** are we supposed to find Robert Frost’s road not taken or less travelled by in this chaos? Tbh, as far as I’m concerned — mainstream road or not — I will take whatever road feels right for me. In this very moment, writing on here and being myself seems to working out just fine.

On a platform that’s pretty competitive and already saturated with SEO experts and blogging gurus, I just want to stay true to myself. I don’t want to write for the sake of writing. If I write weekly, it’s not to adhere to blogging recommendations on posting consistently to gain a following; it’s so I can find my flow. So far, my most used story tags are ‘Mental Health’ ‘Self Love’, ‘Self Care’, ‘Self Improvement’, ‘Self Help’, ‘Confidence’, and I’d say these are fair indicators of what’s to come in terms of my content. Confidence is something about which I’m particularly keen to write, so perlease stay tuned for such articles.

Why did I opt for watercolour-style images in my stories? At first, I thought I chose the surreal colour pallet because it let me crucially and momentarily escape reality. Something I’ve wanted to do at several low points I’ve had this year. But actually, with this vibrancy and abstraction, I weirdly feel more present. Less passive. More inspired. More engaged. There’s nothing fictitious about my writing, but why not infuse reality with energy, imagination and fantasy. It can’t hurt, right?

Hey there everybody! My name is Bryan Dijkhuizen (19), and I’m from the Netherlands. I live together with my girlfriend and bunny. (Both very sweet)

Together with my girlfriend, I travel a lot, for example, I went to Vienna & Paris this year and Zürich & Bremen last year. (2019) I always liked traveling and hiking through the mountains in Switzerland or Italy, and I hope to travel a lot more in the near future.

Student

I’m a 2nd-year Software Engineering Student at the NHL Stenden University of Applied Science in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. This taught me a lot about Software Development, and I use it to write my Tech-related articles.

Besides studying at the NHL Stenden, I also am the Vice-President of the Education Committee at the School of ICT. And from the 1st of January, I will be part of the Academy Participation Council.

Writing

I have always felt something for writing, and since August of this year, I started writing on Medium and earned $100+ in my second month and adding that with $400 in my third month makes the feel pretty confident about my work.

I have been featured once by the Medium Editorial Team and have published several publications such as Better Programming, The Startup, Towards Data Science, and Dialogue & Discourse.

I once hope to earn my money by writing to cover my expenses fully.

Social Media

The things I will write about

To summarize the things I will write about: Almost Everything, but especially Technology related stuff like programming tutorials or opinion-like pieces about new technologies.

Also, I like to speak about politics & society so that’s something you’d find me write about.

Hobbies

I have quite some hobbies when I think about it, and I like to play Darts on a competitive level and go cycling when I feel like it. Besides Programming and Writing, I also like to practice my photography skills with my recently purchased Canon EOS 250D:

Bio

A library mouse is the Romanian version of bookworm. And it’s probably one of the best phrases to describe me. I love words. Everything I do has to do with words. I am a published poet, soon-to-be qualified journalist, freelance writer and an award winning library mouse, which means I read a lot, and books are one of my favourite things to write about.

I am originally from the south-east of Romania, where I lived until the age of 19 and started my writing career within a local writing society. My home country is also the place where I developed an affinity for cooking and embroidery, which are my most common ways to put off my other, more serious tasks.

I am currently based in the UK, where I consume dangerous amounts of caffeine while working on my journalism gigs. Aside from my work on Medium, I am also an editor for The Meridian Magazine and a contributor for The Indiependent.

My Intro
By: Zaniya Lynn
Tags: Introduction, Poem, About Me, Blackwoman, Poetry

“A page about you”

That’s what I was told to write

But my soul’s voice tells me that I’m not just a “you” or a “me”

I’m a collage of what I have had around to impact the foundations of me.

For example, say my grandma didn’t write down all the top 100 countdowns, would I not have my love for my music?

Had my grandfather not grown up playing football on the streets of Jersey City as a young lad, would I still belong to the Raider Nation?

If I didn’t see my mother toil day and night, would I think I could sail through life easily without being headstrong like a horse?

Would I say water instead of “warter” or during instead of “dooring”, if my family had moved to Georgia prematurely?

If my closest friend didn’t decide to invite me into her life, I would have never found joy in color guard, a sport I had never even heard of before her.

But had I not been in color guard, would my ACL still be naturally intact?

The “what if’s” and the “would haves” that roam my mind

An inquisitive of mine

However, it is the “because of” and “thanks to” that mold me

into the creation I am today

Reactions don’t come from kismet

They evolve from observations we retain

from what is around us

Like sponges, we take in what we can and give it back out to others

Seeing intense love for God in the church I grew up,

led me to seek the same emotions I admired.

Watching my grandparents’ endless devotion to their relationship, taught me what love should truly look like.

I am an endless puzzle

Always new gaining pieces

Sometimes ridding myself of old ones

My page isn’t just about “me”

It’s about those who have cared enough to be a lasting part of who I have become.

Hippie

That’s how probably most of my friends and family would describe me.

My name is Gabriela, and I’m from El Salvador. The smallest country in Central America but with the most warm hearted people and beautiful locations.

After graduating High school I went to study advertisement in Argentina, which was one of the biggest challenges I’ve been through. For the first time in my life, I was totally on my own. Starting a new chapter.

During my three years in Argentina I experienced one of life’s most beautiful treasures: how strangers transform into friends, and friends transform into family. But most importantly, I discovered myself and my beliefs.

I believe in God. I believe in the power of being grateful. I believe that if I am love, joy, peace and compassion, I will attract the same into my life. I believe the most valuable and precious things in life are not visible. I believe we are all creators and can build any idea we can visualize in our mind. I am certain the only way to be truly happy is by living in the here and now. I believe we are all the same.

Set A Goal and Don’t Look Back

Falconry at Gleneagles in Scotland

Growing up in the Midwest meant I was immersed in that good ole Midwest Hospitality and still say “boooat” and “oh nooo” with that midwestern drawl. Even though I haven’t lived in Minnesota for over 20 years, the accent still sneaks in sometimes and makes my husband chuckle.

I grew up in a working-class family and lived in a 900 square foot home for most of my life. Our annual vacation gave me a love for travel and road trips. My mom instilled in me an appreciation for life and its opportunities and always said “Don’t ever let anyone tell you who you are or what you can or can’t accomplish.” With that statement always in the back of my mind, I decided I would find a way to travel and see the world.

After getting my generic business degree in college, I set my sights on any job that would include travel. I managed to find a job called a “Trip Director”, that literally took me around the world on someone else’s dime. What’s a Trip Director you ask? My job was to manage corporate groups during travel programs and implement the Program Manager’s agenda and logistics exactly as it had been planned out.

I had hit the jackpot, and the best part was, that my good ole Midwest hospitality came in handy as part of my job was being hospitable to the attendees. I ran meetings and events for a variety of companies that kept me traveling extensively for over 8 years.

After working those long hours for someone else all those years, I decided I would prefer to work for myself, so I started my own event company. I have run my own business now for over 20 years and I have traveled to Morocco, Ireland, Japan, Venice, Hong Kong, London, Spain and almost all 50 states in the U.S. I attended an Easter ceremony by the Pope at The Vatican, went hang gliding in Alaska, kissed the Blarney Stone, toured the Kasbah and visited the ruins of Pompei. I have been very fortunate, and I appreciate my opportunities, past and present, every day.

Although I have immensely enjoyed my twenty years of travel, it started to take a toll on me, and I knew it was time to reduce the world travels. I am now focused on starting a new business, with a bit less travel and creating a writing career. Since I have a plethora of stories based on my travels, I recently started a blog found here, where I tell those stories and just give me two cents on all things travel. I cringe a bit at some of my early stories on my blog, but it shows me how the more I write, the better I get, I think.

My Profession, Goal, and Purpose.

I am a doctor in training, will soon round up medical school come next year and it has been my passion to contribute positively immensely to the world of medicine and surgery to see the world becoming a healthy place.

The pain and suffering in the world today, especially among persons without affordable quality healthcare, is highly alarming and deeply saddening considering the developing countries in Africa.

One of such areas amongst many I would like to see myself exploring and bringing a permanent solution is ‘Oncology’ — a branch of medical science concerned with tumours or cancers.

The rise of cancer and people dying from it must be brought to a halt. I am a researcher with in-depth hunger for knowledge. I am currently a member of the Collaborative Initiative Training Institute (CITI) for Research of West Africa, where I have put in a lot of work with some of my Professors in trying to discover a Lassa Fever Vaccine and to know if people in West Africa will be willing to accept the Vaccine if need be once discovered. And this has helped to build teamwork and enhance my people-communication skills.

I sincerely desire to bridge the gap in the health sector between the poor and rich. It hurts me a lot to see people come to the hospital with an emergency but yet may not afford treatment due to poor income or no insurance cover. This is driven by passion for emergency medicine & surgery with a collaborative view of balancing the equation such that everyone as long as human will have equal opportunity to be treated fairly.

During the course of the COVID-19 lockdown, I was privileged to take part in online training for the emergency management of the pandemic. It was indeed exciting to know that this pandemic and its effect can easily be placed under control.

One most important aspect of life I consider of great importance is motivating and inspiring upcoming young minds to believe they can aspire to become whatever they want to be that will benefit the world at large. This has been a great pleasure when seeing people achieving even beyond their dreams for — “an act of kindness, support and love will always spark the heart of another.”

Conclusion

I’ll conclude by saying "my name is JesuOboh Precious Akhaine and I am opened to opportunities and corrections for I am still a Work in progress with a sincere desire to heal my world."

Thanks for reading! (Smiles).
My First Story
By: Vanna Rae
Tags: Whatimdoinghere, About Me

A little bit about myself (yes I know that’s what the whole “about me” section is for, but I like it better without a limit): My favorite animals are elephants, sloths, and a specific breed of bush viper known as Atheris Squamigera.

Atheris Squamigera (I call them dragon snakes)

I have no idea what I plan to do with my life. When I was younger, I was obsessed with becoming a veterinarian. I put in every effort I could to open up opportunities until Christmas of 2017 when my brother bit through his lip and I learned that I hate blood. Since then, I’ve lightly pursued theatre but I’m not sure where it will take me. That’s all I really have for today but thank you for reading! I may post a story later on but I haven’t quite decided.
About Me — Tracy Desmond. All my life I’ve been a storyteller…
By: Tracy Desmond
Tags: Introduction, About Me

All my life I’ve been a storyteller, but it took me this long to realize it.

I’m really trying to detach myself from labels because I don’t think a few adjectives can capture a person as a whole, but since we’re doing introductions: I’m an Army wife, mom of 4, educator, aspiring baker, a dancer at heart, and most of all, a storyteller.

There are, of course, plenty of other things I can add to that list, but for the sake of brevity, we’ll just leave it at that.

I was born and raised a Southern California girl, but really grew up in New Orleans, where I moved, for a guy, when I was 21.

I never left home for college so this felt like the appropriate coming of age narrative I was yearning for. I worked as a waitress, still relied on my parents to pay my cell phone bill, wasn’t taking school seriously, and thought, “why not?”

Moving was the best decision I ever made. Sometimes I wonder about that ‘sliding glass’ moment. What if I never moved? Where would I be now? Who would I be now? Of course, those questions lead to pure fantasy, because I am here. Now. And who says other roads wouldn’t lead me right back to here, anyway?

My coming of age story has a fairy tale ending, too. Got married to the guy I moved for. Had our first kid in New Orleans. Moved to Hawaii, had two more kids, then moved to Maryland where I just had baby number four.

Fairy tale or not, what it actually is… is a lot. The moving around every couple of years (military life), the four kids six and under (am I ever going to get parenting right?) the transition to stay at home mom while trying to find more purpose and motivation to keep creating something, anything!

So, I’ve turned to mindfulness with a pinch of woo-woo to help me get through the times that are tough. The times where my husband works long hours and my kids choose to turn their mischievous meter all the way up. The times where I eat strictly junk food then feel bad about myself and tailspin into a dark cave of self-pity.

I’ve dedicated the last couple of years of my life to figuring out what self-care means to me, and how to live more intentionally, proactively, and presently. And if I’m being honest, I’ve gotten pretty good at it.

I look back on my behaviors as a kid through my early twenties and see how storytelling and self-preservation were always integral to my well-being. Being able to express myself in ways that were paced for dramatic effect, hooking my audience with the first line, always leaving them wanting more. That was my way of self-care. That was how I re-energized, how I stayed motivated, and how I sought pleasure.

So that is how I spend my time now. Crafting my storytelling as my vitality. This is the only way of life I’ve known how to live, and knowing that my fairy tale is far from being over helps me write, and experience, more chapters.

I write about and coach others on mindfulness, stress management, and creativity as a mom over at my blog and Instagram !

About me:

I live in South Australia, about an hour from the capital city Adelaide, with my partner, Sam, and my cat, Mojo, both of whom I adore. I have always wanted to leave my home state and live somewhere more exciting like London, New York, Tokyo, or even just Melbourne. Somewhere where the arts community is more vibrant, where options seem endless, and adventures more plentiful. However, I am coming to realise that Adelaide is a great place to live, and it is only what I make of it. I miss it every time that I am away. Also, we have survived the times of Covid relatively unscathed in comparison to the aforementioned cities!

I work as an administrative assistant and am currently studying a professional writing degree full-time, majoring in literature. I also have a history degree. My interests include books and reading, plants, journaling, and obsessing over completely random things – which means I take a lot of random courses on the side.
Who is Jonathan Beckett?

While not bashing his head against the desk repeatedly at work or sitting in conference calls pretending to be clever, he writes blog posts, occasionally trudges around town in running shoes, and attempts to survive living in a house with four women, two cats, and a number of fish.

He lives in deepest darkest England — land of good manners, punctuation, starched shirts, and silent indignation. He grew up near Oxford, and has ended up living in the countryside just outside London.

He likes anything easy to cook, wine, chocolate biscuits, tea, coffee, movies, music, and cycling. He is as colour-blind as a hedgehog in a bag, but can draw a mean doodle. He listens to random music on Spotify, watches streaming TV shows on the internet, and spends far too much time playing retro video games.

He writes at Medium about all sorts of things.

About me!

Hi! My name is Laura Bundy and I’m a final year student studying BA(Hons) English @ Bournemouth University. I was raised in practically the middle of nowhere, basically a field, not one bar of signal. But let me tell you this, you won’t ever catch me without this phone!

Alongside my studies I have worked at the lovely Debenhams. Three years being part of a huge retail family. With the recent news I have nothing but happy memories of the store and I am sad to see it go. But I’ll be leaving in style because of my over obsessive shopping habit! I’m sure we’ve all been there, especially with the lockdowns of 2020 proving that the new ‘Netflix and chill’ is simply ‘watch and shop’. However, I also think this year has taught me a lot; to appreciate what we have and to fight for what we want. It’s been tough, but if anything has shown me how crucial our connections are. And how incredible social media can be at keeping us together as one.

After I have graduated I would like to follow a career path into this and discover how journalists too can keep this connection alive. Thank you for reading, more content to come soon!
About Me — Zehn Ninos. Helping you live better with one…

About Me — Zehn Ninos

Hi, I’m Zehn Ninos.

I’m a lifelong learner on a journey to collect ideas that can improve my life and the lives of others.

I believe in human potential. Everyone has magic in them. Some of us live the better part of our lives without even using that “magic”. It’s the fuel that makes you go ahead, defying the reality you’re struggling with.

All you need is a little push. A spark, if you may.

Irrespective of your situation and the circumstances you think are keeping you stuck in your current self — you can be more than what you’re now.

Life is what you make it. You can choose to change your life for the better. But if you’re happy with who you are, more power to you.

Everyone should strive to live up to their potential. Your potential isn’t about how much intelligence you’ve got, but how much of it you use. It’s not about the formula to success or the plan to do it. It’s how much effort you put in to make your dream come true.

Okay, I didn’t talk much about myself. But it’s not about me. It’s never about me.

I can add value to my life only by providing value to yours. When I’m helping you, I’m in fact helping myself.

This is my life’s mantra now: going to bed a little better than when I woke up from sleep in the morning.

I’m making myself better than my past self. The thing with self-improvement is, you never get to perfection. But with each attempt to change yourself for the better, you go a step closer to perfection.
