Gettin’ in the Habit

Gosh!!!! It has been a month since I last blogged. In response to an anonymous comment, you’re right… I need to get with it!

It is not the fact that blogging is hard; it just has not become a part of my daily routine.

The anonymous commenter also wrote, “This anonymous commenter knows first-hand that blogging is tough -- you get better as you continue to do it.”

This is so true with all those good habits you want to acquire but can’t seem to get into the grove of doing.

Whatever you are trying to do to better yourself is not going to come easy at first. It will take some extra effort and a lot of conscious thought. But after a while of pulling and grinding yourself, you will soon find what was once a task is becoming a habit. So hopefully we are working on creating good tasks into good habits that we’ll perform unconsciously in our daily routines.

It's Goal Time!!!

It’s graduation time for many college students around the country and the job market will soon be flooded with a fresh batch of career hungry applicants.

Here at Temple University the fear of not getting a job right out of school resonates in conversations around the campus. And how could it not? All we hear in the news is how the bad economy is causing professionals at the average retirement age to stay in the work force longer. Consequently, creating less entry-level position openings.

So what are young job hunters suppose to do?

I don’t have the magic answer to that, but I do know you need to stay positive. Keeping an optimistic outlook on your current position can only help you in the long run.

Why?

Because if you believe you are going to get the job you want…you will get the job you want. It might not be at the snap of your fingers, but it will come. Sustaining a crystal clear image of your dream job will keep you on the right track to getting there. You know exactly what you want; it’s just a matter of taking the necessary steps toward your goal.

So stay positive, keep focused, and you will get that career you certainly deserve.

Take the path for you

It is pretty much the end of my college career and a new chapter will soon open in my life. So I really want to keep in touch with all of you and let you know what's going on in my world and also share with you some of my thoughts about whatever.

If you don't know by now, I am pursuing a career in broadcast news reporting. It is certainly a career I feel very passionate about. It is probably the only career I can see myself in that will make me happy.

So how do I know this is the right career choice for me?

Will, I just ask myself two simple questions. "Can I work weekends and holidays?" and "Am I willing to work oddball hours?

And the answer to both these questions is, "Yes."

So, whatever career path you choose to take, ask yourself these two simple questions. It worked for me and it might work for you as well.

Good luck guys. And I'll see you on the next blog.
