Sunday Funday: The World of Employment!

Hi I'm Ashley Clayton and I applied for a Sales Associate position at Maurices. However, they believe that my skills would be better suited for an Assistant Manager position so I was hired as that instead! Yay me! Basically that is why I haven't blogged since Wednesday.

Sunday Funday: Love the life I'm livin, livin the life I love

I have had the best possible summer a girl could imagine.

Ashlee Cee to Ashley Clayton: My social media Journey

I remember when Myspace first came on the scene. I was obsessed with it. I ran a Myspace layout site, attempted to be a site model, and had several role play accounts (yes I was an anime role player). When Facebook started rising in popularity I switched over and instantly attempted to learn how to use the site and became just as obsessed. Now years later I have fallen in love with all forms of social media.

Changing ambitions: WE'RE ON FACEBOOK and here's some advice

That's right! Twe1ve2 has officially made it to Facebook. Well, I finally decided to create a Facebook page for Twe1ve2. Why the wait? Well I wanted to build some sort of following and make sure blogging was something I was actually passionate about. Not just a past time like the time I was really into drawing anime or wanted to be a chef.

A fate worse than death: Rejection

 

Two things happened to me recently:
1. I had an interview with Chipotle.
2. I received my first career rejection letter.
I want to talk about the letter.

This wasn't technically my first rejection letter after college (I was rejected from the Sundance Film Festival as an employee) and probably not the last. However, this is the one that seemed to hit me the hardest. I was rejected by a friend of my parents friend. Someone the woman had known for years. He didn't directly reject me instead he stated that "they currently did not have any positions that fit my qualifications" or in other words sorry we can't find anything with your lack of experience.

Freelancing?

I was going to do a lovely Woman Crush Wednesday post and make it a tradition to do it weekly. I decided against it though for now and want to discuss a more important topic...graduating.

Like many recent graduates I'm going through the struggle of sending out my resume/cover letter to companies and networking with my parents friends. So far the only thing I'm coming up with is a potential job offer from Chipotle...but I do love Chipotle. Seriously, who can resist those burritos? Anyways before we get started on today's topic I need you to watch this video because it fits what I will be doing for awhile if a wonderful company doesn't hire me soon.
