How I Got My First Job
This happened about three and a half to almost four years ago. When I was just 19-years-old and fresh out of high school. I decided during that time I didn't want to be like my other classmates. I decided to go straight in the workforce. It isn’t that hard to find a job once your 18 and have a high school diploma. But, during that time I had no idea what to expect. I was lucky enough to take a class in high school that prepared me for this. Looking back, I can't believe how important that class was and I am thankful for my teacher.

Gain More Twitter Followers
The average Twitter account has 707 followers. That number is a significant increase over 2012 when the average feed had around 250 followers. The rise of the celebrity tweeter is part of the reason for this increase, but if you are new to Twitter or trying to gain a name for yourself in your industry using social media, you will need to compete with millions of other accounts to be heard above the noise. The first step is to figure out what you want out of tweeting. Small business owners and creative freelancers often use it to connect with customers, including showing them new products, but a feed that is only yelling “buy my stuff!” won’t be appealing. Instead, your feed will have to provide useful information to readers to make it successful. In addition to content, check out these ways to grow your audience on this powerful platform.

How Pure Growth Is Changing the Way Marketing Is Done, and What You Can Learn from It
The success of a product or company should never be limited by their ability to pay for expensive ads. This is the philosophy behind the guerilla marketing movement of the 90s, in which lead thinkers in advertising and marketing realized that some of the best ways to sell a brand are by providing quality, surprising, people-oriented advertisements that engage the consumer—but not at great cost.

Shame of the Non-Creator
I remember a time when I would spend endless hours drawing, crafting, my hands always busy. In middle school, my classmates and I each made a pie chart showing how we use our time. My desk partner was an athlete and a mild socialite. His time was divided with running, football, homework, socializing, and a few other activities. He slept for a healthy seven to eight hours per day. And then there was my pie chart. I was in bed for 10 hours, three hours of which were spent writing stories in my head, school was however many hours, travel was minimally an hour to two depending on summer or snow, and every other minute was given to drawing.

Learning to Name Workplace Bullying
While it was happening, I didn't know there was a name for it. Things had gotten unbearable at work. I was flying apart at the seams, and I felt like I was losing my mind. Desperate to make it end, I quit my job, not even considering that things could get even worse after that. I had no idea that driving me out of the workplace enough; destroying my career was the end goal.

Oops...
Well, I did it again. I quit another job...I don’t know if it’s bad that it gets easier for me every time. I’m not proud to say this but I’ve mastered my resignation template! I send the same one to almost every failed employer. Doing this always makes me really anxious. I feel a pit in the bottom of my stomach, my palms are sweaty and my breathing is unsteady but what I do know for sure is that all of this discomfort combined feels way better than forcing myself out of bed into another place that I completely despise.
