How to get a job

"I landed my dream job right out of college."


How I did it: I started applying for jobs in February, knowing that I wanted to have one by the time I graduated in May.  I applied to every job that looked interesting in my field (marketing) - including a job for a Search Engine Marketer that required AT LEAST 2 years of experience.  I, however, had none.  I ended up getting an interview, then a second interview, then a job offer. 


Lessons & tips: Apply to a job you know you'll love, even if you're under qualified.  What can it hurt?  Then *wow* them at the interview. 


Resources: college education, passion, resume, business suit


It took me 1 month.


It made me ecstatic

How to drink eight glasses of water each day

"Drinking eight glasses of water a day makes your body feel so much better - it'll thank you!"


How I did it: Working with a water cooler within twenty feet definitely helps.  I'll fill my mug up about every hour (which also means I have to make a trip to the bathroom just about every hour!)
Before that, though, I had a hard time drinking water.  I was lucky if I had 2-3 glasses a day- and that was usually jsut because of working out! 
Now that I've started drinking so much water at work, my body craves it, so I drink just as much at home!


Lessons & tips: Often times, your body thinks it's hungry when you're actually thirsty.  Some of the best advice (especially for people trying to lose weight) is when you think you're hungry, drink a glass of water first.  Wait about 20 minutes, if you're still hungry, then eat! If not you were just thirsty.  This will get you in a routine of drinking eight glasses a day!


Resources: water cooler, a little bit of aqua, and a cup.


It took me 10 days.


It made me feel better
