I was browsing the net and I came across various new ways to stand out with your resume. It seems that video resumes are becoming so popular. Everyone’s using and watching videos on youtube, so why not have a video resume also to sell your talents and try to nail that job interview. Click here to see many! I think it is a brilliant idea.. and this is why I think it is great.

1. You are no longer a piece of paper that someone has to read. You are more dynamic and the person doing the interviews can know you ahead of time and see what kind of person you are.
2. Verbal skills are clearly demonstrated through the video.
3. You can also present other visual aids or demonstration of your past work.
4. Best way to be creative! Instead of finding good words to put in a document and trying to be so scholastic, being your self and actually talking about your self is a better judgment of character.

Also make sure you send a digital copy of your resume and cover letter as backup. But seriously, the world we live in is so fast and companies are tired of having to read the same boring resumes. You need to stand out! And when they say you need to sell your self, do what TV commercials do! You can be a commercial of your self! If TV advertisement works, then why not video resumes!

Sleepy Post, They said what?

All I hear is people’s obsession with Harry Potter. I never seen any of the movies until yesterday. Yesterday I went to the book store, Chapters, and it was the night before the new Harry Potter book! Everyone was there waiting. Sitting in lines. Waiting for the release of the new book! This was nothing. The employees there were all dressed like they were characters from the book. The entire book store was changed in decoration to be the same as the story. I was like WTF! Why all this obsession! Why is everyone reading this book and watching the movies for! So I decided to buy the first book! I was like I am reading this crap no matter what. Not only that, I went and bought the whole DVD set. (On Sale) 8 dvd set of all the Harry Potter 4 movies.

So last night I watched the first one. I was like wow. I was like double wow. After all these years, after so many crappy fantasy movies I have seen in the past, this tops them all! I was like wow. I want to see the rest. Since today I was out all day and I didn’t have time to watch it. I got 3 more to go, and the first book to read. Hehehe. I am reading far too many books at once, but dammit. I want to be like the rest of those obsessed people. I want to read and watch Harry Potter!

Sleepy Post, Whatever!

Today we decided to go on a day trip to the Pinery Provincial Park. It is located near a beach area off Lake Huron. The beach is a lot warmer and the waves are incredible. It was fun to splish splash in them for the afternoon. It is an hour away from my city. However, since it was the first time we ever went there it took us an hour and a half cause we got lost in all these little towns in between. It’s unbelievable the amount of farm lands and towns in Ontario. The scenery was just amazing. It was a good change for once.

We usually go to Lake Erie which is only 30 minutes from my house. However, the beach has far too many people and it is always dirty. The water is also cold. For some odd reason Lake Erie’s water is a lot colder than Lake Huron. If you have no idea where those lakes are, then check a basic map! They are two of the great lakes of Canada/US.

So the waves are incredible, nature with all of it’s annoying insects is still beautiful to look at. By the way I would never go camping cause of the insects. I am such a city girl! I don’t like insects!

My sister and I’s feet.

The incredible waves of Lake Huron. I got splashed a lot. The water did not like me!

Blah Blah, Categorize this!, Funny

I have gotten numerous comments in the previous day’s posts about my direction and hope to the future. It’s not that I have no direction in life, or no dreams. On the contrary, I have a very intricate perception of what I want my life. I am just very passionate about things and I seem to want to perfect and plan things and every detail. However, sometimes I feel that I cannot plan or I am not in the mood to plan or think of my future. So I just say that I don’t have one or not thinking of planning to have one. It is all based on my mood for the day. Sometimes thinking about life and every aspect of it makes you wonder how can you plan things. Too many things, and yet the effort and time just makes you scared and not want to bother to think about it.
