Has no one heard of the term networking? but that's aside from the point.
here's the story:
i go to a 4 year community college, majoring in advertising design.
2 months ago, my prof asked me if i had a job and what was it.
i told him a graphic design part time job.
then 2 students next to me overheard as they glimpsed over.
Then a month ago, i get grouped with one of the girls that overheard me the other day. The first day already she was being nosey about where i worked, how much i get payed and what i do. Then she mentioned some **** about being friends and hooking her up...im thinking WTF( she works in the library). Near the end of class, she asks for my #, i gave, then later on asked for chat sn...ok i gave, then email...i say "whoa". And she gave me her info w/o me asking. She said it was for project purpose, but i knew that wasnt her intention. Now the project is over and i go thank god, as group is no more. and she is staying away from me.
Zoom to this week. (this guy is unemployed)
I say sup to him almost everytime i see him, we have a good understanding even though we dont talk much to each other, as he is a loner.
As the group project ended, the question that the prof asked him which made everyone laugh was:
So what did you think about working together in a group?
his answer : it wasnt really my thing as i dont like people.
then today i sit down, and he sits down next to me, we say sup to each other. 20 mins later, he asks me how work is going and if there are any job openings.
i say "not bad, the only positions i know of is telemarketing."
him: " eh im not good with phones"
me: "well its something good to put on a resume"
Then i proceeded to tell him if he's interested he can take my job when i quit in december. and i told him a little bit about the company and how much i get paid.
him: "you got another job lined up?"
me: nah not atm
him: you dont like your job? (he wants to find out why im quitting, or if the job's bad)
me: nah its not that, Its boring there and im too comfortable. (plus im gonna look for a new one when i quit)
him: yea that happens.
he seemed likea cool guy so i asked him if he played pool, he said yes and i invited him to join a tournament of pool at a bar that i was going to be in. didnt seem too interested but oh well.
After that, no more talking.
After these 2 encounters, i realized what environment i was in.
I found my job on my own online and went for the interview. Yet Everyone else around me walks in day in & day out, reliving high school. thats why im fed up with this college and transfering out this semester.
Yea anyway the point is., if you're gonna get ahead in life at least make an efffort, chat with people REGULARLY, not when you need them.
you know what i see everyday i walk into that crappy community college? a bunch of zombies, leechers, people that wont get where they want to in life cause they lack ambition. they take no initiative into finding a job on their own or socializing with people in general.
IF YOU'RE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE, I SUGGEST YOU WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE. Take initiative. Remember competition lies in your every wake, if you're not ambitious enough you'll stay at the bottom. Ambition drives success, always remember that.
