| Updates: Media (lyrics) has a new layout. I could never figure out how to lay it out, but it's easier to navigate now. I'm still working on a better duplicate Mamblog mod. I'm trying to make submittions easier but the poetry form died for some reason. Quizzes are also on their way from the old site. Joomla content isn't very code friendly so I'm having to rewrite old code. You can still click on News > AH v21 > Screen if you wish to use the quizzes. |
| THE job part 1 |

March 27, 2002-2 (7:59pm) Well, I just learned a valuable lesson. I'm not gonna tell you what it is though, because I feel foolish enough...I'll continue: I now embark on the journey that is getting a job at EarthLink. It's not just a job, just another interview, just a resume. It's THE job, it's has to be THE interview, and the resume has to be...perfect. I'll begin by rewriting my resume to include my certifications and various other things, although this, I fear, is the easy part. I've never written a resume with a goal besides cashier at a local retail store, a job I'd undoubtedly suck at. I mean I'm sure I could work a cash register, smile at the customer, hand them their change, but who wants to? Walking day after day through the doors of the local used book store, hanging up clothes strewn on the floor of the dressing room of the local slutty clothing store. Smiling at each unfortunate customer who walks through the doors. "Do I look fat in this dress?" Yes. Yes you do. The next, and ultimately time-consuming task is to write a purely design-based website using all the skills I know. Content may or may not...exist, but I don't think the goal is to show them I can write a paragraph, although that would be a desirable quality in an employee I'm sure. But seriously, I need something that shows I can work tables, that I can write a form and run it, that I can do all the things needed to write a website without the use of a reference book. Now I'm sure that reference books are allowed, but what's the good in letting them know I can look up tags? The object is to KNOW the material and look up things if errors occur, if syntax needs work. You can't pass a test with just the knowledge that you can look up the answers in the index. You have to know it, look it up to double check if time allows. And that, my dears, is the goal for the upcoming break. Well, that and doing everything in my power to save my ass from failing math. And who seriously cares if the series An approaches infinity or not? I sure don't. Ask me to differentiate sin-1x any day. Last update: 27-03-2002 20:59
