united states of casie

Sometimes I feel like this too, heaps of blogs and twitter accounts, social profiles, multiple personalities. It ain’t easy but I can handle it. I’m crazy like that. I love this show. Toni Collette is beautiful and a totally wicked actress. The site has profiles all the characters she plays, I haven’t met them all yet, but I’m gonna. United States of Tara, good show. Part of why I love this show is John Corbett, I have been in love with him for many years. He melts my heart. I once dated someone he reminds  me of.  So handsome, both of them, heart melt sandwich. Heart melt sand wish. Heart melt. I posted his photo on tumblr, love.

so, you wanna get a job in social media? (or any job)

This has come up in conversations a couple times over the last few weeks. There are lots of jobs out there and with the openness of the internet, you can find them and they can find you. You know I’m really big on attitude and positivity. As a former recruiter, I give you a couple things to think about. Now, to me, this stuff seems common sense but I’ve seen otherwise. You have to think like an employer. If they complete a background check or Google you what are they going to learn? What will they find on your blog, twitter, FB and what type of feeling are they gonna get from you? How are they going to perceive your attitude as a potential employee? Here’s a couple things NOT to do: tweet/blog about how hard of a time you are having finding a job tweet how hard up you are for money Complain on your blog about how life is hard/how busy you are doing nothing Whine about not hearing back from an interview Complain about not having a job BE NEGATIVE (downer) Here’s a couple things TO do: Follow positive people who have jobs you’d like to have; learn from them, you could potentially learn alot, such as gaining help with cover letters targetted for your specific job role you’d like, and more. Blog about things related to jobs you’d like to have Blog/tweet about things you’ve done that would be assets to a company Think about how good it will feel to have a new job Read articles and comment about them follow hashtags about jobs/hiring/your field attend tweetups & meetups in your area BE POSITIVE There ARE dream jobs out there I promise! I got myself into the job I wanted and I have other friends…

the more we get together the happier we’ll be

Walked to work with the cousins this morning and showed than around the MuchMusic studio. It’s really nice having them here.  I’ve never had a cousin around my age visit me before. We had a fun at the game last night, but baseball, I’m just not that into it.  The Rogers Ctr was quite empty and we ditched our already good seats in the 200’s to move in to the 100’s super close.  Will post about that later. Thanks Mum for sending this little shirt dress, love it! This is an interesting vid from the Rogers blog with stats on how we use technology. It’s fascinating to think about how communication has changed in the last 10 years, 5 years, 2 years. My main source of communication is Twitter and I rarely actually ‘talk’ on the phone to anyone. Twitter is where I get the bulk of my info and most friends I hang with these days, all tweet. I love it. Text, gchat and email rank higher than voice over phone line for sure. In other entertainment news, the World Cup ACTUAL cup will be @muchmusic for MOD today.

painting the town green

Up early and off to the Green Living Show with Care Bear. I’ve not seen this sista for ages. Last time was that group girls date to see a movie months ago. Looking forward seeing her and all the goodies that come with attending the show. You have to pay to get in BUT this year Samsung is letting you bring old electronics to donate and you get in free. The list is right here if you’re feeling green with envy and wanna go. Ok, that was cheese, I know. There’s also a Hills marathon on MTV all afternoon if your feeling L-to the-AZY. Had a really fun night. New blog is in the works too. Just wait, you’s gonna love it. This  photo is like the cutest ever. I’m not Skypetarted and more and figured out how to chat full screen.  In the geekiest fashion we Skyped, tweeted and used mobile. Dorkilicious. Ok bye for now. Have a great day.
