2.Summer Time Lonely 

3.TURN ME ON 

4.EMOTION(Instrumental)

 

 

What are you listening to now?

 

 

i was hoping Emotion wouldnt be like this =-=

 

 

 

and nothing :( i havent listened to new stuff lately because of school and work sobs

[Midna]

At least J-Pop has been solid (so far). Hoping the summer releases will be a bit more exciting, though. Keita, Kaname, and Namie's albums, and Kuu and Kana's singles. And hopefully Flower or Happiness will at least announce something. :(

Still waiting for that FLOWER album :(((((

[Midna]

 

Flower is supposed to be performing a new song soon called "Color Me Up". At least that's what Twitter is saying. And the members have been dying their hair with pink and blond streaks, so it could be a new single or an album.

thats a hot instrumental <3

 

 

 

 

[Midna]

Meisa...

 

 

Is this where the Japanese music fans reside?

 

 

dun hate

 

 

and oui oui theres also a jrock and jtek and j-urban thread

 

we mostly talk Pop here but a bunch of other things too

[Midna]

Cool, cool. But for the sake of traffic, wouldn't it be better for all of them to post in this thread?

 

By Pop.....you don't mean idol music, do you?

 

We talk about that (idol) but it's usually artists lol and recent releases and anything under the sun tbh. i consider this place as a hang out for jpop/jmusic fans. we do talk about idols, but it's not very often lol

 

We had this thread in the past, it did pretty well (i think we almost reached 1000 pages!). the other threads are just for a focused discussion on the other genres.

[Midna]

Most of us listen to everything, so there's a little of that. But idol discussion doesn't happen often, no. It creates too many arguments between the people that like them and the people that don't. >_> This is mostly just a hangout for J-Pop fans in general.

 

 

They've been in dance and vocal rehearsals, so we'll see~ I want an upbeat summer track from them. They need to show off their dance skills more. :(

^ And it was over 1000 pages that we reached :sad: We can do it again, but it'll take a while.

 

LOL THE IDOL VS NON-IDOL ARGUMENTS 

 

half of those posts n the old thread were my rants on school 

 

 

we hardly moved much the past few days ><

 

cuz i wasnt here 

[Midna]

Welcome :D Please post lots <3 xoxo

[Midna]

what's playback in live concerts?      :sad:

 

 

Hehe.  I actually found something that you might like, since you were playing Twilight Princess before:

 

 

OMMMMMMMMGGGGGGGG

 

This guy is brilliant!!!!!!

 

 

MIDNA T^T

[Midna]

someone tell me how to write a resume please

uh... this is how i wrote mine in h.s. lol

 

Name

Address

Email (formal)

Phone Number

(centered)

 

OBJECTIVE (the position you are applying for--I hardly do this)

 

Highlights of Qualifications /

 

Skills? (relevant to job)

 

Education

 

Work Experience Date started/ended

 

 

OR (if you didnt have prior work experience)

 

 

Volunteer Experience " "

 

 

??????

 

you can also add Interests/Extra Curricular activities

 

 

make sure u give detail for work and volunteer experience--do in bulletpoints

 

 

and stay within 1-2 PAGES RANGE

 

or GOOGLE student resume images lmao

[Midna]

so i have to make a different resume for every different job i ever do in my life?

 

and what is centered???

well no, just use the same one but add/edit as you go in the following sections. Remember, a student resume will look different from a more formal resume (uni student applying for a more serious job...wich i have to make soon ugh). Just change you info a bit to suit the job you're applying for. Centered means center the stuff I typed in the word document lol or you can do:

 

Name/ Address/ Email/ Phone if you want more room at the top of the page. MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS BOLDED AND NOTICEABLE. The categories should be bolded as well. No grammar and spelling errors and make it look appealing (white space use)

[Midna]

http://i.imgur.com/mZpx7uZ.png

here's my blank resume, I erased all of my info and left the headings to give you an idea of what you should include, basically under relevant experience and co curricular activities just write what you did/was apart of and a short 1-2 point form description and in a column on the right side you put from when to when (eg 2009 - 2011), make it short, sweet and to the point since most employers just skim through it

 

and since you're just beginning don't make it more than 1 page, my resume was 2 pages before and I had to squeeze it down to 2, I remember I met a student who graduated from university and did about 3 co op jobs and an internship along with extra curriculars and what not and when he applied to TD Bank and they said 1 page only, unless you're in academia or much older and experienced, most don't go over 1 page

 

and no you don't need to make a different resume for every job, but more like slightly tweaked versions for different types of jobs, I have a different resume for when I apply to retail ish jobs and serious jobs, one highlights more of my customer service experience and the other highlights my administrative experience along with education

 

im terrriblllleeeeeeee with getting interviews :( (the job fair at school, i managed to snag interviews hurrah!) but in general it's hard. is it cuz im a uni student and they want high schoolers instead? hmph. though i only want the job for the summer so it makes sense LMAO. But HSers do too =-= tho i do have a job atm :p

 

Shoppers is hiring a part-time position! i may apply :3

 

cashier tho... D:<

 

 

i was looking through the Business Resumes package pdf thing and holy crap. it was so detailed!!!

[Midna]

Same, I suck at getting interviews, I have experience but my people skills are lacking, and it's not that they want high schoolers, just for me it's hard before I'm leaving for school in september and most jobs are looking for permanent people

 

and I applied to like 3 shoppers ugh, I hate my job but I get paid on Monday so I'll feel a little better

 

and cashier is easy, try being a cashier in a grocery store where you have to memorize the codes for different brands of rice, veggies, fruits, some seafood and some meat. Took me forever to memorize everything, at least at shoppers it's just scan

 

so true most people want permanent employees SIGH i still want a second job. dammit i knew i shuldve went to that job fair -_- but work is so far from home....i want one closer to home lol

 

omg i would never be able to do cashier at grocery store. i just cant. cant memorize for shit lmao. i dont liek jobs where im standing in one place. i like to move around. (tho this kills your feet after 8 hrs of standing and walking -_-)

 

and yay paqycheque :D i get paid on friday this week yayyy

[Midna]

 

pretty much, don't elaborate too much because they probably won't read it, like if you worked as a cashier, they'll probably only skim the part where it says cashier at whatever place you worked at, I remember when I applied to different places a lot of of managers just skimmed it and wrote down short jot notes, I had cashier and administrative assistant down on my resume and they looked and just wrote down "customer service experience" along with what times I said I was available and that was it

 

and I can't handle a second job haha, 60 hour work week already, and mine is close to home which sucks because its a shithole where I live haha, how much you like your job really depends on the people you work with, people are shitty here while my friend who works at fresh co in some rich area loves it

 

and I stand 11ish hours a day, amputate my feet already

 

It's the biggest chain of drugstores in Canada lol, kinda like CVS or Walgreens for you

 

 

HOLY SHIT U WORK 60?! DAMN GURL

 

see, here's the thing. My work is on-call and depends on the week and what events we have so i dont have a set schedule :( hrs are brutal on certain events. i rmber this one week, for 3 days.. 6am-10/11pm

 

i freaking died.

 

I LOVE SHOPPERS. I GOT TWILIGHT PRINCESS THERE LMAO

 

 

on your sample, what is objective and references?

 

And you have to write the hours you are available on the application itself right?

 

Then... what is a cover letter?

 

DP srry MOMO

 

Objective: Interested in obtaining a permanent part-time position as cashier at Shoppers.

 

References: Basically ppl who the workplace calls up to ask and verify your info. and they ask about your skills and personality/work ethic etc. references should be teachers or previous employers (but not ones where you were fired from lmao) and shuld be told in advanced

 

usually its:

 

References (centered and bolded and underlined)

 

Name of First Ref:

Phone:

Email (optional):

Relationship:

 

etc.

 

usually 3 is good. you dont ahve to give it unless asked.

 

 

 

and well, they usually ask. i never write my availability down lol (on resume). applicaion, yes!! make sure u put flexible

 

Cover Letter...you don't need to do this unless you're applying for a serious job position. it's basically a brief letter explaining why you want the job and you lists your skills and qualifications and why you're perfect for the position.

 

THIS SPA ATTENDANT POSITION REQUIRES IT BUT IDK IF I SHULD...full-time position. it sounds amazing tbqh :(

[Midna]

THEY WANTED ME TO WORK 72 I SAID NO

12 hours shifts man, I want to die near the end of the day

 

and what's twilight princess LMAO, and yeah I love them too, I always make a trip there when I go to the mall

 

 

objective is like "to find a job where I can apply my skills and help serve customers better" or something like that, why you are looking for a job and what you intend to do,  since mine doesn't really have any personal info in it I'll just give it to you

 

"To obtain a position where my communication and interpersonal skills will be an asset to the company and increase sales, customer satisfaction, and overall efficiency"

 

and references is maybe like a high school teacher or previous employer that can be contacted, some employers will look up references to find out your history or if you are as your resume says or anything, don't put down family

 

and Midna explained pretty well what a cover letter is so I'll leave it at that

 

 

QURL

 

my mom LOVES shoppers. she even has a credit card that collects shopper points LMFAO

 

oh! you;re full-time right? im only part-time lmao

 

idk how u can do it D: omg

[Midna]

Ughhhh my music trade off list. Im not sure if my partner knows/listens to the Queens haha. W/E. 2 more songs to go!~

[Midna]

So i just heard miwa's album. It's not bad, but it's not outstanding either. It's okay.

[Midna]

i feel so betrayed by Hiromi's 3rd album.

 

 

it was fcking terrible, bland and boring :( Teenage Love was like the only decent song on that album

 

Magic was amazing.
