Hubby was looking for work for several months. I had to explain to him that looking for work now is not the same as it was years ago. The days when you could just walk in, interview and leave with a job are over for the most part. Today a thorough and effective job search should include personal and online efforts. Putting your resume online is a great tool. It’s quite helpful to have one there, it will keep your memory fresh when updating your paper resume. You’ll need your paper resume for your local job hunt efforts such as the opportunities you find in the classifieds. Just remember - looking for work online is convenient but you have to get out and put yourself out there too. Good luck!

Lots of people, like myself, hate cleaning the bathroom. I’d put it off because I disliked it so much and then it would be really gross. here’s how you can clean your bathroom in under fifteen minutes - five minutes to clean the floor and ten minutes for everything else. Buy yourself a container of cleaning wipes and clean your surfaces above the floor every morning before you leave the bathroom. Once a week take five minutes to mop. that’s it. You won’t dread cleaning the bathroom so much anymore.

There are numerous ways for family and friends to stay in touch, no matter what distance apart they are. There’s always the telephone but sometimes that can be expensive, depending on where you’re calling. Other alternatives to consider are email (obviously), webcams, instant messaging, bulletin boards and live chat software. Don’t forget the good old mail as well - sometimes it’s nice to get a surprise in the mail. How do you keep in touch with your family and friends?

The best thing I ever decided to do in regards to sending mail is to use self sticking stamps. They’re the best thing the Post Office ever came out with. I hated licking stamps, they tasted awful. Once the stamps were dealt with all I had to worry about was addressing envelopes. What a pain it is to keep writing your return address. I tried address labels, which worked fine but got tedious if I was sending a lot of mail (like when I was paying a lot of bills). That’s when I decided to get one of those rubber stamps. They’re not that expensive, especially when you consider how long you can use them for and how much time they save. Try it, you’ll be glad you did!
