How to get a Job, I have a job.

For a couple of months now I have been looking for a job and with a big fail on it. I had just left university and at first I had it in my head that if I apply the jobs will be just be waiting for me but after a month of applying now and then. I went on the job seekers....I didn't want to go it at first but then I went. My personal advisor was very nice and I went to some course and then I went to jobseekers once every two weeks to sign in. I didn't enjoy signing in but I did it anyways and it was another excuse to get out of the house. I always went shopping or to jobseekers. Now I was applying for jobs every day, doing my cv again and again but I had two problems. One I didn't have that much experience and two my references were a bit of a problem.

So I wanted to do a course and then I failed to pass the tests and I had to see my personal advisor again she sent my CV to someone and then they phoned me three days later. Asked what work experience I was looking for and I said Admin. Then the next day I had an interview for work experience. When I went there the woman was nice and it was an informal interview. There were 4 people interviewing and only 2 got it. I was one of them. After being rejected it was some good news and I started the following week. I had never worked in an office before but it sure was great to do so.

It was an 8 week placement and today was my last day working for free. I have to admit it has been up's and down but mainly up but I did it and this Wednesday I found out I had a job. I was excited and happy. I will be working the full 8 hours a day and getting paid. This will be my first job that I will get paid in and the money is driving me insane. I want to do so much stuff with the money like get a car and start driving. Get an iPhone....and sooo much more. Plus even though I don't like waking up early and I love my days off. I will never forget that feeling of feeling useless that I felt when I was unemployed. Plus, I have gained a skill that will give me an advantage when looking for jobs next time.

I have my first job and it feels so good. Woah!!

Peep Season 2 Trailer Below:

Dear me: Blog changes and Life Update.

I thought I should write a little bit about what’s going on in my life right now. Well, the last time I was a bit down with the whole rejection thing but I have moved on and now. After a week I got an interview (Informal) to do a 8week placement at a big recruitment agency and I still remember the day I went and I was scared because I thought they would say no to me and I would get rejected again.

I didn't get rejected and the following week I started my placement. It is in an office doing admin work and I am so surprised that I have not done any office work experience. It was me and another girl and we started at the same time and everyone seemed nice and friendly and I picked up the admin very well and it was 6 hours a day. 5 weeks and to my surprise I like it better like that than working long hours, working nights and all these weird hours.

I am starting my 5th week and hopefully, I will start to do some phone calls. I am excited for that and I hope it goes well. After the placement I might get a job at the recruitment agency or I might sign-up with them and do some work there....It has defiantly opened up some doors for me. 

Will I go back university?? I don't know....I think if there was a course I was passionate about I might go back but right now I just haven't found it.

I do have little side projects I want to start doing...

1. Learn HTML & CSS.
 It's a starting point but I really want to self-teach myself about computer languages and in the end use this website to showcase my work by designing it and playing around.

2. Write Short stories
I have always wanted to write a book but I can never reach 10 pages so I am going to set myself some goals to reach and go in baby steps to write short stories and publish them on here for free.

3. Build this site
I have been slacking this site and I feel bad....I want to grow the site hence the name change from livingnotexsiting to Brooke’s bench. I also want to try doing a bit about beauty and fashion and other stuff I can think about. I am so excited.

And joining twitter

Before I Go To Sleep by S.J.Watson - Book Review

RATE:★★★★

Pages:372

Author:S.J. Watson

Published: January 2012

I have just finished reading this book. I am in awe at how great this book is.

It's called before I go to Sleep and the basic concept about the book is of a woman called Christine and every time she goes to sleep she forgets everything that has happened that day and when she wakes up she thinks she is a child sometimes but in reality she's in her 50's. In this book she is slowly remembering her past in pieces and she is also being told something’s of her past and in a twisted way something’s are true and others might not be so true. 

Every day she wakes up to man she does not remember but he tells her that he is her husband......

Pro's - I have never read anything like this. It's different and for me original and very well written. At the end of the book I felt like I understood Christine as a character and as a person. Like I was Christine. 

The thing about this book was whatever you think will happen....it won't and it will make you love and hate certain characters at the same time. Then there is a twist that I never saw or even imagined to happen...but when it was revealed I was like "Oh my Gosh." 

The idea was brilliant and the way it was sectioned off (will make sense to anyone who has read it) was perfect and the build-up to the ending was quite good. 

Con's- I have read a few thrillers and they are fast paced from murders and kidnappings etc.....Where there are shocks and twists in every corner but this book has a slower pace...

Honestly, when I started reading the book...I was like is this it but I still wanted to carry on and read it....chapter after chapter until the massive twist and a brilliant ending. But for others it could be a slow book but I quite enjoyed the build-up.

Would I recommend it? Yes/ No ...........I think this is a Hate it or Love it kind of book and I love it.

Chris Brown- Don't wake me up Official Music Video Review

When I heard this song on the radio I automatically fell in love it. It's a dance track but it's different and I don't know what I am talking about....But it's just one of those good dance tracks.

The video has just come out and it's thoughtout and somewhat interesting....It does go with the theme of the song....He wakes up or sleeps three times and each time he follows the same girl into a room and they end up somewhere but their both dreaming....It's a mind-f. But it's interesting with some cool dance moves thrown in there as well.
