The Work From Home Revolution
The work from home revolution is upon us. Indeed.com is the most trustworthy website to find decent work from home gigs. This is because some websites are not to be trusted if they have many scams listed without fact-checking their jobs. Apparently, in 2015, 24 percent of American workers are work from home people. Fields such as management, business, and financial operations have work from home allowances with 38 percent of people working from home. People 25 years of age or older have bachelor’s degrees, with 39 percent of those people working from home. Working from home is a new trend out there. It means that people are sick of commuting to a typical office environment where there is politics.

Plans for the Future
A couple of months ago, I had just graduated high school, and with high hopes for the future, marched right out of that hall and into the pouring rain. A slightly unfortunate turn of events for my graduation, but no matter. I didn’t know that by now, that rain would basically represent my plans for the future.

10 Tips for Negotiating Salary. Top Story - August 2018.
One of the stickiest parts of any interview with a potential employer is when the time comes to talk numbers. Maybe the salary discussion begins at the first interview, maybe it happens at the second, or maybe it's on the phone after your prospective employer has told you how much they're excited to have you on board.

Putting the Extra into Acting
It's so hot and I'm stood here in five layers of vintage clothing sweating absolute buckets. Along with the musty, moth ridden smell that lingers within my armpits, I peel away the sleeves that stick to my wet skin. Yes! I thought, this feels so good. This 1940s aqua coloured cardigan is finally being relieved from its clammy occupier. The feeling however was short lived; as soon as I go to pull at the neatly sworn buttons a flurry of makeup artists swarm me, correcting my sliding cardigan back onto my shoulders. "Let’s just fix your wig my Love" "How are your feet holding up?" "What colour lipstick do you want?" I stand there grinning, holding my clammy hands awkwardly, trying not to hold too much eye contact with the lady waving a peach coloured lip gloss at me. I did admire her eye colour for a short few moments, before realising again where I was and how I was trying hold my head towards the circulating air around me, doing my best not to pass out. Oh no! I glance once more at her light green eyes before a wave of black dots invaded mine. It was like a swoop of a cape surging over my sight. I know what some of you are thinking... Pass out... that will be hilarious... Thankfully I don't, and this colourful lump stays on her feet for three glorious more seconds... then you guessed it, I hit the deck... Blackout.

Here's How My New Job in Hell Went This Weekend
I'm going to tell you a story about my weekend, and how one of my jobs managed to ruin it over the course of three days. I'm going to gloss over names; one is a popular chain restaurant, the other a noteworthy place in my town. Their names are unimportant; I want to tell you guys the horrors I faced without fear that on top of EVERYTHING I also end up fired.

Why I Decided to Become a Teacher
We are running out of teachers. Good, passionate, serious teachers. Either they’re simply growing older and caring less or the younger ones are giving up way too easily. Most people look at me funny or try to change my mind when I tell them I’m currently studying to become an English teacher; a high school educator, to boot. Time after time I hear: “Oh! Are you SURE you want to teach? I mean, in this day and age you’d be so disrespected and the kids are insane.” When as a matter of fact, those same reasons you wouldn’t be a part of the school system, are the reasons I will be.
