Make Your Work Skills Grow

Currently after hardly any sleep, organizing resumes and balancing follow up calls on job applications have become a decipline of practice to be mastered.  Think of it as a wheel spinning or a bubble popping in the air when you wait on getting a job.  It may be that you wanted a new job before you quit an old job and your plan detoured.  This can be the case quite often when you are without a job and need a job.  You'll hear how difficult this can be to be unemployed and how easier to get a job while you are still working.

When thinking of focusing on the areas of most concern don't forget to look at the big picture. For example you co-workers, managers, and your skills.  Here I want to brush on skills from my work experiences in focused areas in hospitality and retail.  These two fields of career choices were not what I would have selected coming out of college and its been over ten years since graduation in which I've been emersed in the duties or tasks of cleaning bathrooms on the weekends at theaters and garage from patrons at the movies.

Secondly, wiping down game machines and counters at arcades and sweeping and mopping fast food franchises have been major responsibilities as you plan your career from the bottom up.  Thirdly, refilling condiments such as sugar, to ketchup depending on the franchise and or stocking aisles for party supplies in retail have filled any employees work week up as priorities for everyone to accomplish. 

Last but not least some areas of keeping a clean and well stocked environment in hospitality and retail can be handled more abundantly with larger areas and more guests to accompany and this takes an array of different measures of speed and teamwork as two skill practices. 

In conclusion,  appearance is taken in high value of consideration since you are persenting food and drinks or greeting guests or customers with welcoming friendliness and you are the first person they turn to as you work to meet their needs and satisfaction.  Changing careers will be easy in these fields since all these duties can be used in all areas of work and will get your foot in the door.  Looking for a job can require changes in your attitude and an open mind to taking each day as a new day to learn something new such as a customers name.  Your reporting to management or shift supervisors for every little thing is crucial right away if you can and you can if you know whats best and you do.  Skills will be sharpened the more you remember from experience and they will bring you job endurance and stamina.

The End

A New Season for Work

Setting yourself up and out of a trap is quite your responsibility.  What is the reason for it?  I couldn't tell you and it is worth it.  I wanted to talk about the seasons of my jobs.  Seasonal jobs mean more interviews and applications to be in.  You will feel that that is it most of the time sometimes.  You will feel that filling out applications and going to job interviews is your life and it will be with seasonal jobs for some.

You will remember group interviews, and dress codes.  You will be very careful how you present yourself and won't realize things you are doing that others will or you know that you are doing it such as comparing pens with the applicant next to you or the different color hair clips or mens ties in the beginning.  After ten years or more you will see new observations in the same interview process such as the dreams you have and held for decades!  That is key.  Those dreams are what got you there at that interview or in that job the way it did at that moment nothing else.  Yet thank everything else since the dream is your gift to others.

Over the years my thoughts have been on bugs.  Bugs are senseless crawling things that come into your job role and itch and crawl on you.  Bugs.  They will have you running into your next job sometimes if you don't take care of them soon enough.
