Deplatforming liberty is a huge win for society at large. Don't love the acc schedule, but this is great.
This wasn't exactly keeping me up at night, but...
One of the keys to good networking is to ask people what they do. Showing genuine interest in them makes them feel heard and appreciated while also subconsciously making them feel a small obligation to help reciprocally in some small way. People want to be heard and listened to. If your son's friend makes it his mission to listen to as many people as he can, and asks good questions about what they do he will find someone who will want to help him out and vouch for him. That gets his foot through the door. The rest is kinda up to him from there.
So true especially the bolded parts. Networking worked while I was in restaurant work for few years after graduating; then-when I lost my job a month before my daughter was born and was unemployed/temp work for 6 months- I got hired on at predecessor company to my current employer as a temp doing the most menial job- stacking docs in manila folders when they were ready to be microfiched (yes I'm that old and also 'thermal fax old" lol).
After mastering that menial task, I started asking the other folks in my area "hey. what are you doing? then 'how do you do that?' then 'Can I try it?' Moved up through three levels in that department; then went to customer service where learned all about servicing mortgages; then was told (not asked) to go talk to the sales area which was expanding as the big refi boom was about to kick off in 1997-98. despite having absolutely ZERO sales experience, I did very well for the next 9 years. As my divorce was becoming final and I had a (voluntarily) hefty child support bill to pay , I needed a steady income- not one where commissions fluctuated from month to month. I mentioned to some of my former bosses that while I wasn't 'unhappy in sales' , it wasn't what I wanted to do the rest of my life. and since they knew my work ethic and skill set, could they please watch out for positions I would be good for. That's how I ended up being in the data/IT world where I was a liaison between business folks who didn't understand the capabilities and limitations of computers AND the IT folks who knew IT but not about how the data was used by the business people. I've been in that general area for the latter half of my 33 years with the company.
Every single position I have been 'hired for' was because someone ASKED for me specifically to come do it. And it's all from building a reputation as someone who knows the history, has done most every job in the mortgage lifecycle, and can apply that knowledge to be THE expert in the data around the mortgage area. Not afraid to ask WHY or WHAT it's being used for, nor do I ever identify a problem without proposing an educated guess as to how to handle it.
Currently we still will play them in 27 and 28 unfortunately
He was wearing Hokies headgear at State Championships.
this will never get old
Lord Thunderin' Jesus! Thank God!
So long Biberty
Aww those poor Flames, just going to be watching our season from the side mad they don't get to play us. You know where they're sitting.
On this note, Shawn Quinn was hired as the DC at Liberty. Apologies if this has been shared here already, but I don't think I saw it talked about.
Seems like they've been trending down since Chadwell's first year, but still a little surprising to see Quinn land as a coordinator at the FBS level.
Yeah I'm assuming Jake is going to Tech.
Oh man, I totally get that. I had 4 years to get my degree. Hard stop. I took a couple of brutal semesters and I didn't handle them well (thus, tanking my GPA) (I even had to get waivers signed to take more than the allowed number of credit hours in my junior year---it was rough). It's not a fun place to be in.
If, as you say, he's super smart and half-way charming he should be able to find some sort of internship, so long as he's not picky. I agree with most of what Bar has said above.
Every single job I've gotten after college was via networking (networking is undefeated). One of the keys to good networking is to ask people what they do. Showing genuine interest in them makes them feel heard and appreciated while also subconsciously making them feel a small obligation to help reciprocally in some small way. People want to be heard and listened to. If your son's friend makes it his mission to listen to as many people as he can, and asks good questions about what they do he will find someone who will want to help him out and vouch for him. That gets his foot through the door. The rest is kinda up to him from there.
And there was much rejoicing!
best news I've heard all off season
GREAT news
Park Authority in Fairfax County has a number of internships every summer some are paid and some aren't. I didnt see any writing specific, but sending an email and resume to the main internship email address is worth it to see if MarComm is hiring anyone for the summer if it is geographically convenient.
100% true. Canada was smoking us for most of the game. The only reason it wasn't 5-1 was the insane play from the US goalie.
Weird that the net barely moved and uva is still 37 after that
Yeah Nate already graduated from Virginia Tech.
If I was facing Colorado this year I would run the Rutgers play 15 times...every series
FTFY
He was better, until the arthritis and early-on-set dementia set in. Now its time to get him to the home before the 4pm dinner bell.
