To My Future Employer, I'm Doing Things My Way

I'm going to do things the old fashioned way.

Jobs are tricky. The application process, the interviews and just overall making sure that I am doing the best job that I can.

Currently, I work two jobs and I learn a lot each and every day. Both of these jobs are preparing me for the future in one way or another. But for my future employer, I have a few words for you.

I am going to make sure that I am one of the hardest working employees that you have. I am going to show up early and be there late because if it is something that I am passionate about, I will put my whole heart into it.

I am going to ask questions. You may get annoyed with some of the things that I ask, but I am only trying to better myself.

I am going to keep it real. I am not one to sugar coat things when there is a chance of hurting somebody's feelings. In the workforce, we are all adults and need to treat each other like them.

But, I will not kiss your ass to move up. I hate that society basically states that it is okay for somebody not as qualified can get a position over somebody else simply because they kiss up to their boss.

I believe in working hard for what you want and not trying to please the boss every time.

There will be times when trying to move up the totem pole that people are going to get mad. But that is okay. I am going to work hard and move up the way that I feel is appropriate. I am still going to respect those above me, but I will not let them control me.

So to my future employer, I am sorry. I am sorry that I am going to do things my own way. I am sorry that I will not wait on you hand and foot. I am sorry that I am going against the norm.

Well, actually I'm not.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
