10 'Best Things' of 2009

This I think has been a really good year which and these arn't only the best things but the things I am proud of and really happy with. (These are not in order of best to OK).

1). Getting my GCSE Exam result and how good they were as I really didn't think that they were going to be good at all.

2). Finishing High School and Starting College as not staying in 6th form I now know was a really good idea to get away and start in a new place.

3). Youth Weekend away with my church youth club going to the beach everyday and on the last going early swimming, very cold but lovely and refreshing.

4).Just hanging out with my friends in the summer. It was good just because I didn't do much this summer and just going out with friends was really good and didn't really do before.

5). Getting Guitar Hero for my birthday and playing it on my brothers Xbox 360, Best game I have ever got.

6). Wow on the Water Front during the summer - wasn't really good while I was there but thinking back at it, it was brilliant.

7).Going to my old church BBQ - just seeing old friends and going to around what seemed to
the secret garden and topping it of having really really nice weather.

8)Having my High School Prom and wearing a tuxedo which I couldn't breath in, having really good food at the Hilton and having a good time just in all.

9). Applying for jobs, haven't got any but it was just a really good experience to do it.

10). Having a lot more freedom this year, going into town a lot on my own and going into Cardiff Bay just new experiences.

Have a really happy new year and hope you have an even more better year in 2010.

Starview

On Wednesday I had a job interview at Starbucks Queen St (the one next to Sainburys). Being my first job interview I had no idea what to expect but what I did experienced was nothing of what I thought it would be. When I got the application form a few days ago I was told to be there at 5:00. I got the earily bus at 4:15 so I wouldn't be late and in result I was earily (as I thought) so went a did something else and the something else took 5 minuts so I thought I would just wait. Well wait is what I did.

If you have ever been in the Starbucks next to Sainsburys you would know that there are two floors. The stairs going to the upstairs, well there was a line from the top to the bottom of the stairs when I got there. Stupid me, the one thing which didn't occur to me when I got the application form was the sign which sad that it would be an OPEN job interview. Although I found that out I still wasn't happy when I had to wait for an hour to be seen when I got off the stairs. However at the same time I was amused to see the site of how many people must have gone into the Starbucks on that day and seen that there were jobs going and watching them fill out the application forms. HA HA, get prepared.

Supprisingly I wasn't really neverous and when I got called, it just went better. The interviewer was really impressed with my CV, and I was glad to hear that the job was not just for that one store but for all the Starbucks in Cardiff plus 2 more opening in St Daivds 2. But all in all It went really well. And when I finsihed, the line to be seen was quite far outside the door. Open job interview from 5:00 - 7:00, it sure seemed to be Starbucks first time in doing the open job interviews as they must have been ther as least 2 hours more with the amount of people who were there. Or could have stopped interviewing people at 7:00, I would really liked to know what they did. But sadly my chances of getting a job are a bit slim, but at the same time high as the interviewer was impressed. They said that they would let me know if I have or not got the job within 72 hours.

And now I have to play the waiting game for one more day now.

Hunting Down the Worlds Most Wanted Thing.

If you are thinking of the world most wanted thing, let me put you out of your misery, is a job. When all of this stuff on the credit crunch came on the TV, my first thought is that this is not going to affect me one little bit when everything and everyone was falling around me and now I have joined the band wagon. 

As I am now 16 (months ago), I am now on the Job hunt (just shows how organised I am) as also I have finished my CV with the help of Jongudmund . Looking for a job everywhere is impossible right now. Every time I look on a website searching for a job through their criteria, there is none and then they ask you to leave you details. You end up spending 20 minutes filling out all your information and a load of useless stuff to either:
1. On the last page filling out you information and then the Internet corrupts.
2. The most annoying thing is that you have taken all that time to full out all your information and then after the so many days they say that are going to reply if you do get a job, no reply.

I blame the people who started the credit crunch and in result of this, I have no money, as I have no money need a job, to get a job people need to either retire or get fired (personally prefer people getting fired) and then get paid and have money. Life's ambition. 
Not sure but I might have a problem with having MONEY
