Six Reasons to Learn How to Sew

Six Reasons to Learn How to Sew Sewing has made a real comeback in these recent years and it may even be more popular than ever. Both women and men practice it and even kids started showing a bit of interest in it. From occasional practitioners who consider it a hobby, to full fledged professionals who make a living from it, sewing captures the hearts of many. Obviously, it hasnt become like that by accident, there are reasons why sewing became so exquisite and loved. But what are those reasons? If you wanted to start sewing right now and you needed a motive to do so, what would it be? Well lets find out with these 6 reasons to learn how to sew. Its helpful and useful. Imagine this scenario. You have a really important date in an hour or so and youre about to put on your favorite dress when suddenly, you notice a tear on it. All your other clothes are in the washing machine, soaking wet, so you cant wear something else even if you wanted to. A real predicament, isnt it? Luckily, you know how to sew your own clothes so you put the dress in front of the sewing machine and you fix it in no time, without leaving any noticeable marks on it. You avoided any potential stress and you didnt have to go to a date naked. Job well done. What wouldve you done if you didnt know how to sew? It saves you money. If you decide to create your own outfits with the help of a sewing machine, youll be saving a real nice amount of cash. The money youd spend on three pairs of jeans or trousers would allow you to sew at least double that, if you bought the materials needed for them and created them by yourself. And if were talking about some more serious sewing projects like costumes or classy dresses, you would be saving even more money if you yourself made them. Of course, you would need to invest a bit of money into buying the sewing machine itself but it would pay off really soon. It can earn you money. Starting up your own home business that focuses on sewing can turn out to be surprisingly profitable. Small quick fixes and repairs would provide you with a smaller amount of cash but it would also require less time so if you up the pace a bit, you could supply a lot of customers with fast, reliable services, thus piling up a decent income. Or, if youre creative enough, persistent enough and unique enough, you might even hit it off extremely well and become a famous fashion designer. Who knows, anything is possible. It improves your physical and mental capabilities. Hand eye coordination, hand and finger dexterity, precision and calmness are just some of the positive side effects of sewing. Not to mention the fact that it teaches you about patience, persistence and ingenuity without you even noticing it. Tasks like embroidery or applique require these traits so they steadily but surely awake them in you. Sewing allows you to demonstrate your creativity and uniqueness. Its not uncommon to see two persons on the street wearing the same kind of shirt, skirt or any other type of apparel. Manufacturers and stores create and sell them in bulk after all so it shouldnt come as a surprise that this happens. Not when you sew your own clothes though, this cant happen at all. What you invent and make, is only yours and no one can imagine the exact same thing at the same time. Which means youll be unique wherever you go, whenever you go.

Motivation Monday Move Forward

Motivation Monday Move Forward Ah yes.   The beginning of the work week.   Dread it or love it, either way, it is here!   What are the three things you are going to do this week to move yourself forward towards a more rewarding and fulfilling experience? Stop relying on the job boards Job postings are not the fastest way into a new job.   They arent a guarantee for an interview.   They may not even be real.   In other words, the company posting it may be trolling the waters to see if they get anything or they may have already identified who they want to hire and have to go through the motions of posting the job.   Lets not forget, that when you submit your resume and cover letter, so will hundreds of other people.   Nice competition. Cast a Wider Net The best time to consider relocation or commuting for a new job was yesterday.   You want to have options.   Read this post Casting a Wide Net about how to expand the scope of your search.   While were talking about options, also consider taking a temp or contract job.   Some work experience is better than none, for the short term at least. No Excuses Quite honestly, when I hear someone has been out of work and looking really hard for over a year, I think damaged goods.   I know thats horrible.   But it is what I think.   It would be so much easier for me to hear that the person has been doing contract work, picking up odd jobs, volunteering- anything other than Ive been unemployed for over a year.   So wheres the motivation in this you ask?   Instead of making excuses for why you havent been able to find work, spin this into something positive.   Turn lemons into lemonade.   Make the most of this time.   Do something.

Why a Great Job Search Goal Will Get You Hired Faster

Why a Great Job Search Goal Will Get You Hired Faster Why a Great Job Search Goal Will Get You Hired Faster Developing  a  clear  job search goal  is a key step before you  begin hunting for your next career move.  It is important to know how to  create  a great job goal,  not just a good one. Many  job seekers out there are applying to  positions  without a clear  sense  as to what they want to do next.  Others  have  what they think is a  job  goal, but  it’s  poorly defined.     I recently  met  Pamela  who sent her  résumé  to  nine different job postings and got no results.  After  working  with her, I discovered she had applied to be a  project manager, a  sales representative, and a  business operations manager.  And,  while she  may be  qualified for all, she  didnt have a focus  or  a  compelling story about  any of them. The solution  to this  situation  is that  prior to applying to any  position  in the future,  you have  to develop your  job search goal.     Ineffective Job Search Goals     Sometimes it helps to know  what a  job search  goal  is  NOT.  Here are  real responses to the question: “What  type of position are you looking for?”   A challenging position where I can leverage my skills and where theres an opportunity for growth.   Something in the fashion business. I can do anything.  I know I don’t want to do retail.     Neither  of these are acceptable goals.  Let’s  break  them  down.     Saying you are looking for a  â€œchallenging position”  is  classic.  This  response  has  no specifics.  Who would ever ask for a non-challenging position?  When indicating that you want to “leverage my skills,”  you need to understandâ€"and this may come as a shockâ€"the job search process  isn’t  about you. Its about you fitting into an  employer’s  need.  Avoid the “l-word,” “leverage” altogether.   Where it  mentions  â€œopportunity for growth,”  realize that there is opportunity  in any company. You may  want  upward mobility  but  keep  those  desires  to yourself. You dont want to come across like youre going to take this job and ask for a promotion in six months.  The  opportunity for growth  is  what you make of the  position  after you  land  it.     Indicating that you are looking for  â€œsomething in the fashion business”  is too  broad. You can state an industry, but an industry is not a job. Focus more on the function of the department versus the industry.     One of the  worst  things you can say is,  â€œI can do anything.”  First, you can’t do  everything.  Second, it  sends  a signal of  â€œI dont know,”  or  â€œIm desperate.”  It shows you  may lack  focus and  could be a  high-risk hire.  Finally, no one wants to hear what you don’t want to do.     A  Great Job  Search  Goal Statement     Ok,  so how do you go about setting a  solid  job search goal? Here are two tricks to developing a great job goal statement:     Err on the very specific side. You can always edit it later.  It is much harder to take a ‘squishy’ goal and  try to get specific.   Read  your  stated  goal to friends and family  for  input. See if they understand it the first time without any explanation.     To create a great job search goal, you need  to  window shop  your industry  and narrow down your job goals.  Window shopping  means  learning what the market is looking for, learning the current terminology  and buzzwords,  identifying the top skills, and listing out key words and phrases. Narrow down your job search goals  by  scouring the internet for  possible functions, occupations and vocations. Look through job search websites (don’t apply, just read job descriptions).  Print out 10 jobs that interest you and circle keywords they have in common.  Read job descriptions in their entirety; identify the functions, occupations or tasks you could see yourself doing…every day.     Fill in the blanks  to craft your new job search goal:   I’m seeking a function position in the industry with a size corporation in city.     Now, let’s practice:       Question:    Pamela, what type of role are you looking for?   Pamela’s new answer:    Thank you for asking! I’m seeking a digital marketing manager position in the technology industry with a large company here in Chicago.       Question:    Wow, great, and can you give me some company names you are targeting?   Pamela:    Well, yes, company, company and company.   Do you know anyone at these companies who I may contact?       See where this is going?  The clearer  and  more  prepared you are to engage with your network, recruiters  and total strangers you meet on LinkedIn, the more engagement and results you will get. If you are actively searching today without a  job search  goal, STOP and go  do the goal-setting work.  You can do this!   Join Dana Manciagli’s  Job Search Master Class ®  now  and get the most comprehensive job search system available!

Emotional Intelligence - Hallie Crawford

Emotional Intelligence I wrote about this several months ago in a press release about what employers are now looking for in their employees: Employers Wish List of the Job Skills for the Decade. One of the points that keeps ringing true as I work with clients in career transition and young adults preparing for their ideal career path, is the importance of Emotional Intelligence. Its interesting one of my clients didnt think this was true at first and called it touchy-feeley. And now these are the things that are helping him become a more effective leader in his job, and he gets it. A Time Magazine article from late last year (Dec 18, 2006) spoke to this point regarding educating our children and what they need to learn to be successful in todays, and tomorrows, workforce. Heres a quick blurb: EQ, or emotional intelligence, is as important as IQ for success in todays workplace. Most innovations today involve large teams of people, says former Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustsine. We have to emphasize communication skills, the ability to work in teams and with people from different cultures.' As one example of improving an EQ skill, I have found that working with people to be more direct and pro-active in their communication does wonders for their ability to succeed in their career and relate to their boss and peers. So where do you need to improve your EQ? If you need help, you know who to call! Im happy to assist.
