On blogging and beginnings.

As a future hopeful broadcast anything, I want to share these thoughts and feelings with the blogging world.

And how else could I start a blog than by blogging about a blog. Confused? Me too... I think.

You see, I have recently, (I use the word recent vaguely) because it has actually been just over a half-year since I recieved my coveted journalism diploma and to be honest, I'm starting to feel the pressure.

I'm feeling the pressure of future graduates who will be just as eager to find work as I am. I'm feeling the pressure of having to find solid career work to get where I want to be in life. Lastly, I'm feeling the pressure from the fear of not succeeding in the world of broadcast journalism.

I don't want to become another statistic, that being a failure statistic. Hence why I have started this blog.

Whenever I talk about my life goals with anybody, alot of those anybodies tell me that a blog can enhance my chances of landing a job. I have never disagreed with this, and I always say to these people that yes a blog would in fact help me out but then never did anything about it.

To me a blog will not only help your chances of beating out other candidates, but it will also sharpen your writing/typing skills and it also may bring in a certain readership that could turn into a viewership for me if I make it big time.

I apply to 3 jobs a day and that just isn't enough. It's easy to send an email to a future employer and hope for the best, but it's another thing to be pro-active about it too.

By upkeeping a current and interesting blog I think an employer would like my ambition and maybe that extra little attention to detail could put me one foot ahead of my competition.

Not to say that a blog is the key to financial happiness, but it's a step in the right direction.

After writing a few of these paragraphs I also find that it helps to sort things out in your brain.

Suddenly these pressures are easier to understand.

When I put my thoughts down on 'paper' I'm really getting a sense of what I need to do in order to get where I need to be in life.

Funny how epiphanies work aren't they?

Another interesting notation is that you never know where help can come from.

I work at a part-time gig and never really thought about it being a stepping stone in my search for career work but recently after a job review I was offered a helping hand in finding a place to work where I actually want to work.

This certain joe-job is a transitional place to work until you find greener grass and I was delighted to hear that someone was willing to give me a helping hand.

Not ony have I taken advantage of this offer but it's already in motion.

Moreover, this is another reason why I am starting this blog. Not that this person suggested I create one, but because this person has lit another fire under my ass.

Today is the start of many possibilities.

Possibly, my new blog will direct me towards a positive space and I plan on blogging about everything.

I hope to build a trusted readership with this blog and I hope to inform and entertain at the same time.

I will update each and everyone of you on my path towards a bright future right here on blogger.com.

All you have to do is check in on me every now and then and any words of encouragement are also welcome.

Until next time, surround yourself with positive influence and life will bless you unconditionally.
