If you are actively looking for a job, you need to send as many CVs as possible. Experts say that you should send 20 CVs every week. Some of these 20 companies will call you in for interviews, but it might take a while until you are actually hired. However, attending as numerous interviews as possible helps you become familiar with these situations. You will learn from experience and you will finally be able to succeed in one interview.

During interviews you are actually marketing yourself. It would be just like selling something, but in this case, that “something” is your own person. You thus need to develop your selling abilities. Just the simple statement of the recruiter asking you to tell something about you opens up a great perspective. It gives you the chance to promote yourself.

There are also other questions you need to answer properly in order to impress recruiters. Keep in mind that you need to present yourself in the brightest possible light.

A common question during interviews is what you consider great about you. You can emphasize abilities like diligence, desire to work and attentiveness to details. If you never had sick leaves or if your superiors have never had any complaints about you, take advantage of these facts. It is also worth mentioning that you don’t have criminal record and that you are not into drugs.

Most recruiters will also ask you why you have applied for that job. You can tell them that you don’t like to waste time and you are a very hardworking person. In conclusion, you don’t want to regret your professional decisions and you are interested in a fulfilling job which allows you to develop your skills and to advance. In your search for this type of job, you have came across their company and you considered it the perfect opportunity.

You also have to be prepared for questions asking why you think you are good for the job. You need to base your answer on those qualifications and skills of yours which are relevant for the position. Also mention that you researched your position in order to know what it implies and you consider yourself capable of performing all the tasks.

These are just examples, but all interviews contain similar questions. Regardless of the interview you are attending, you need to be capable of marketing yourself. You have to be prepared for all sorts of questions and to answer them all. All your answers should focus on promoting your skills and abilities. If there is more than just one recruiter, make eye contact with them all. Start with the person who asked the question, than look at all the other recruiters and end your answer by making eye contact with the initial recruiter again.

It has been awhile since I have blogged with studying,and working "Princess Storm" giving lessons ...well you get it. Some time ago I thought I bought a racehorse...only to discover I think she bought me hook line and sinker! The thoroughbred filly that owns me lets me know on an hourly basis just how inept I am. She makes sure I get up early  freeze my butt off and tote hot water down the stairs to warm her breakfast, then she allows me to groom her....maybe ..maybe not,  she tells me when the jockey is here and that she much prefers him to me and then she might allow me to eat breakfast while she is eating lunch. I learned this because as the other day she began screaming as loud as she could and I jumped to her call "oh crap " I said to myself "it must be noon" well actually it was 12:09! I was late!!. My boss (princess storm) then informed me that I had slighted her some grain as I am just looking out for her figure and cut a portion of her feed down... oh no no no we can not have that so she proceeded to circle her stall and bite her bucket refusing to eat hay until her full portion was replaced!!! I'm not making this stuff up!! so I now  have to be much more sly about portion control. It's a joke in the barn if I am spending too much time somewhere else in the barn and she hears my voice she starts screaming!!! they all laugh and say" the boss is calling you" this is expressed in many languages other than english , yes I am an international joke of the racing world.  My  girl will scream when it is time to go out or time to come in on her day off and God forbid I let her stay out in her pasture to close to dinner time on her off days!!!! ohhhh nooo , I not only get chastised for that , but she will try to out muscle me  which is quite hilarious to everyone but me.

But really I adore her, we have come along long way, when she gets freaked out, it is me she trusts. She can be a handful, but she is so awsome to watch on the track, she is big and gorgeous and athletic and fast! I adore this nutball thoroughbred she has had my heart since the very minute I layed eyes on her...I thought I bought a racehorse, but I really bought the greatest most fantastic expensive time consuming back breaking all encompassing job  that I dreamed about my whole life... and I LOVE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE OF IT!!!!!   kiss kiss love love to my Princess Storm

Fortunate are the students who don’t need to do a part time job or sell dissertation writing services to cope with college expenses and university living.  Thus, they should be the persons who should really be mindful on the things that can be dubbed as time wasters.
One is the constant checking of emails.  If you can just phone call the other party, it could save you a lots of time as you don’t need to be interrupted every time an email comes in then do the emailing back and forth.  

Second is the frequent use of mobile phones.  If you’re doing some assignments, texting a friend every 5 second is not helpful at all.  It steals away your focus in the things you do.  Do not feel like it’s your priority instead of the school’s tasks.

Third is watching movies and getting wedged into YouTube.  Do not do it during your school days particularly when you have examinations the next day or there’s a project that needs urgent attention.  Watching movies or videos would entail you many minutes which is more productive when used in studying, perfecting your essays or mastering your computing skills.

I have been dreaming this dream for as long as I can remember, every time someone would ask me "what is your dream job" or "what would you do if you won the lotto" it was always the same thing "I would have a stable of racehorses". Well after 27 years as a critical care paramedic a great BIG case of burn out and figuring out you have to actually play the lotto to win...I decided  IT IS TIME.  So I bought a race horse.

Now I am not new to racing,my Father was trainer. I grew up around the horses and the track. Being a kid I was more interested in riding my own horses,but really LOVED racing. I remember getting so excited watching them turn the  corner to the straightaway feeling the pounding under your feet, while everyone else was up in the stands or the box I would position myself right down at the perfect spot where when the horses come around that 2nd turn for a split second it looks as if they are running right at you...FANTASTIC!!

So I grow up my parents MADE me go to College I made a career for myself I was the second female paramedic in Texas at that time, it  wasn't easy and the men did NOT want me there, but all it did was make me even more determined. As I climbed the ranks I found that because I was smart, strong and fair that I was more than just accepted I was respected.

I built a life raised my daughter ,and the whole time in that quiet place in your mind where you hide your real dreams, I just kept thinking and dreaming about being a trainer...but ...that only happens to other people ...right?  With daughter in college,married and on her own...NOW is my time. So here I am living at a training barn,in a studio apt. in the barn.  The men disrespect me pretty much every day,sometimes multiple times. I have learned alot...I have learned alot about what I will never do. They think they will chase me away...but they have no idea anything they can dish out...it has already been done to me so I'm always furlongs ahead!! HA HA HA.

As I look at the JW camp pictures I see I am in good company, I may not be a jockey but some day ladies I hope each and every one of you gets to ride and win on my horses. I dream that we will all be up there getting great big fat checks, and plenty of eclipse awards!!! Hey I always say DREAM BIG OR DON'T BOTHER!!  I am so excited to finally be making my biggest dream come true!  and can not imagine doing anything, anything else in the world. I love these animals I love this sport I love the way science mixes with old school to make an absolute athlete. I love the way women are finally really stepping up more than ever to make their mark on the sport of kings!  yea!!! WHATCH OUT WORLD HERE WE COME!!! I hope to meet each and every one of you at the track!!!

Are you late on your project’s submission?  Are you trying to turn nights to days just to hit the deadline?  Or are you thinking wildly and deeply just to come up with the right topics and subjects for your custom written essays?  On the verge of breaking down and dropping the subject merely because you really can’t come up with good ideas?  That it only seem a dead end tunnel for you?

Worry no more.  I have experienced the said dilemmas many times, oops, until now.  I almost talk to my instructor and tell him that I really can’t submit any dissertation or essay- that I am an Engineering student and I don’t see the necessity of learning one.  And mind you, there was never an instance in which I wrote one.  I usually look for cheap custom essay writing services online and that’s it.  I’m telling them to make me one, a good one even if they may worth a couple of bucks.

And yes, they made things easier for me.  They are really worthy and deserving of every penny.  The ones they write are just perfect and meet the requirements and expectations of my professor.  They indeed provide me some sort of relief.

The internet almost always serves its purpose.  Without it, I will not able to bump into the site that gives high end essays.  Writing is a bit difficult and complex especially for the not so creative mind like me.  I’ll be more interested in doing and computing mathematics rather than minding the sentence structure or the subject- verb agreement.

But don’t get me wrong.  Not that I don’t check on the custom essays written for me, in fact, after receiving them, I try to read and see how they are made.  I may not be able to ingest all the details but you see I’m trying.  And that’s what important.

     Hi everyone! I know it has been way too long, but I have a perfect explanation! Well, I was living with my sister in Jasper, Alabama, but things with her went downhill, so I moved back to Mom's. She doesn't have internet access, so for the past almost 2 months I haven't been able to get on here. I have to say, ever since I have been back, things have been great! I'm so happy now. All the members of JW have got to catch up with me, and let me know how you all have been doing! It feels like it has been forever. I'll let you in on how things have been going on this side of the woods lately.

     Recently, things have been going really well. Ofcourse, I am still working out and heading towards being a jockey! I still weigh 108 pounds, but heading towards 105! I'm soon going to be sending out my application for NARA, which is soooo exciting! I have a great feeling, who knows maybe it will prove to be right :) It's starting to hit Mom though, and she is letting it show. She is terrified that her baby girl is going to get hurt one of these days. Atleast, she is still just as supportive as anyone else! It makes me feel great to know she just wants what makes me happy, and what I have the drive and passion for every day. It shows she cares for my well being and emotional health...On the other hand, there is sooo much horse racing to catch up on! Everyone is talking about the Eclipse award now! :) and horse of the year! What about Killer Grace in the Hollywood Starlet?! WOW, weird thing is I was watching HRTV a couple days before the race, and 2 of the analysts were having an argument over her lol :) She proved em' wrong!

    Hopefully, things will gradually get back to where I can update these blogs once to two times a week like I was. We will see :)

​What does riding mean to you? Why do you ride? What is the purpose of riding? 

Today I have a completely different outlook on a simple everyday blessing for me- riding.

I used to ride because I felt "free" and loved the "independence" of just a horse and rider moving in unison. Riding was always exhilarating. Riding had a magical charm for me, that whatever was going on in my life I could simply ride and it would melt into ordinary circumstances that were sizable to defeat.  Riding was something so dear to me, I couldn't imagine living without riding and horses. I rode for myself, I rode for what I loved, and I rode because riding made me happy. (Kind of a lame reason, huh?)

​Yesterday morning I still was thinking of riding in those terms.... until....

My friend, Debi Ernst, who helped train me and my horse to work together as a team, who was a horse trainer at my ranch, passed away yesterday morning when she fell off her horse and broke her neck. She was just going to go out for a simple ride. Did she know it was going to be her last? A man who lived across the road found her horse loose in his front yard. They found her body soon after and her neck was snapped in two. She died alone and they say it was quick.

Her death is incredible to understand. But it started me thinking. What if it had been me? What if it was MY horse the man found and MY body dead? If riding is obviously so dangerous why do you ride? Why not be content petting a horse in a pasture? Why do you have to get on it's back and race around?......... Why? The Answer: Because in riding we all taste a piece of heaven that my friend is now enjoying for eternity. 

​I decided that I can't give up riding. But I'm not going to ride just for myself. I'm going to ride for a purpose. I ride for all my family and friends who believe in me and are counting down the days until I win the Kentucky Derby. I ride for Mrs. Ernst. I ride for all the people who have never been able to live their dream. I ride for the Glory and Honor of God.

​Ride with a Purpose. What is your purpose?

​Rest in Peace, Mrs. Ernst. We will never forget all you have done to make us the horse and rider we are today. We love you, Elle and Ash
