Sept. 24 Careers for shy people: I found this article on Yahoo and it's called "Smart Career Options for Shy People." That would be
me. It mentioned computer programmer, accountant, and paralegal that I'm not interested in.
It
did mentioned graphic designer, health information technician, and
survey researcher. I did study graphic design for a year. I have been
applying to work at medical offices so I could work as a health
information technician. I have worked at call centres and interviewed
people to do surveys.
To be a survey researcher, it says to have a Bachelor's degree in:
"business, psychology, or political science, according to the Department.
Taking courses in research methods, survey methodology, and
statistics could also be beneficial. Most technical or advanced research
positions require a master's degree or Ph.D., adds the Department."

Sept. 25 Agrology: I have copy and pasted these occupations and education on my disk. One of them is this.
Do you know what Agrology is? On Wikipedia: "is the branch of soil science dealing with the production of crops."

Banks:
I haven't looked for a job at banks in awhile. Have you heard of the
Canadian Securities Course? If you want to be an investment advisor or
financial planner, you have to take
it. There is the Canadian Investments Fund course, Conduct
and handbook practices course, etc.
I also have this written: General
insurance license, Life insurance license, Financial security advisor license,
Mutual fund representative license.
None of it interests me. If you're interested working in finance, go here to get your education and you can learn on your own:

IAP2: I found this in my notes and it stands for International Association for Public Participation. On the site, it says:
"IAP2 Canada is an
Association of members who seek to promote and improve the practice of
public participation in relation to individuals, governments,
institutions, and other entities that affect the public interest in
Canada and around the world."
This organization seems to be about charity and volunteers. To be a member, you have to pay $140 for a year.
Sept. 26 Call Centre #6: Today
I did a job interview at call centre #6. I think it went well. The
best part would be that I bumped into one of my supervisors from call
centre #1. He was working there, and we chatted a bit. I'm going to
email him my blog so we can stay in contact. That is how I'm staying in
contact with one of my friends. He has a blog and I've been leaving
comments on them.
Sept. 27 Vector Marketing: This
must be the law of attraction. Last week I was talking to my friend
Dan L. about it. This week, one of my friends went to a job interview
for it. I Google "Is Vector Marketing a scam?" There are these
comments about how you have to buy the knives and sell them.
Kev:
The secretary had the nerve to tell me, you have to wear proper attire
for the interview. NO *** even mcdonalds require a button shirt and tie
for interview. Thats how stupid she was.
Me:
Looks like someone is really angry about being told the basics of a job
interview attire. I did call up this place back in 2006, and the
secretary said that to me too. I wasn't angry though. Kev's comment
said it was from 67 months ago. I did the math and it's like 3 yrs ago.
Here are more comments:
Sept. 29 Human Resources: I
was reading Metro, and there was an article about being a Certified
Human Resources Professional. Elizabeth Dorion was being interviewed
and she
majored in management and labor studies. She took the National
Knowledge Exam before she worked in HR.
I
guess I'm researching it because I have done all these job interviews, I
want to know what it's like on the other side of the desk. lol.
I
found the website that tells you how to become one. It's informative.
This page gives facts like 60% of CHRP's work in a corporate/ business
environment (60%). 35% earn $51,000-75,000 per yr.
HR does the hiring and training. If it's a small company, there's no HR, then the manager does the hiring and
training. Or the manager hires, and the co-workers train and show the new worker how things operate.
Oct. 1 Feelings:
Here's a mild rant. The other day I could have done training for Call
Centre #6. They gave me 2 days notice and I had to work at the
restaurant. The centre will reschedule. I went to the restaurant, and
it was very quiet. If I didn't go to work, they would have been fine
without me. After work, I was to meet someone. I got there and read
the newspaper. I got a text and he said something came up and he can't
up.
I went home and looked for an agent on the internet. I then watched a TV movie on
Youtube. The day was kind of downer, but I have to write about it so I can get over it.
Graduate early:
Hazel Taylor sent me this article "7 Benefits of Graduating Early."
There were good points like saving money if you graduate a yr or a
semester early. You get a head start on your career. I remember
talking to this woman in Professional Writing. She says: "I am sick of
going to school, and I want to start working."
I know the feeling. That's why I looked into one or two yr college programs instead of 4 yrs.
Retirement: In the same article, it mentioned saving for retirement and here's the math:
"If you put away $4,000 a year from the time you’re 22, you’ll have $1
million when you’re 62 (if you get 8% annual returns). If you wait until
you’re 32 to start, you’ll have to save $8,800 a year instead, a sum
that might be tough to save with the likelihood of increased financial
responsibilities by that age. Getting a job and starting retirement
savings early will only put you ahead of the game, benefiting you in the
long run."
