It is late and I am very tired but I just wanted to check in while I had a minute and let you no the news. I have a job my grandmother made me do at a hardware store and it has really drained me and made me very much tired. I have been sleeping more than ever before and i think its because jobs are harder than they look, I didn't know that when i was looking for one so that is news for me.
My feet also hurt a bunch form the work I have been doing standing on my feet so much, do you think i might have bad shoes. Do sandles work better? or other brands of shoes better than the ones I have (i think sketchers). I don't know when i will be updated in the future but as soon as possible i am going to make more conent.
i might make some videos about my job but using some tricks to make the stories more relatable and not about me.
Let me know about shoes if you have idess?

Open Letter to Resume Writers
I went through the effort to borrow money the other day specifiy so I could by a resume from this online website. (I am holding their address back until i know how this email goes because I don't want to make bad publicty for them). I sent them my five page resume that I worked on for an hour or so but they were supposed to be so good to make it perfect for getting me a job. I waiting for three days like they said to do.
When it came I was very upset to find it seemed copyed and pasted from my orieingal textedit document i send them. I thought the resume looked okay but it doesn't suit me unless I am going to work in an office NO THIANKS!
I started thinking about it and realized there are really only two reasons they did this. One is they were impressed with my original work and just made some small changes. The other is they aren't professionals at all, I am growing very scepticle of frauds these days but I am a very forgiving person so I didn't want to jump the conclusions on this. But either way it isn't worth the full price I paid for it so I write them a brief response that may end up getting me the job I am looking for if it goes well. I wanted to share it here in case you are in a similar situation and need help frasing an email to the people you are sending it to.
Let me know if this helps you do what you need for your emails!

Dear company,
I am Peter Bear, from the online blog PETER BEAR"S DEN (http://www.peterbearsden.blogspot.com). I recently submit an order to your website and it looked like things were fine and legit but I received a resume back from your professional writers that was not up to a standard I was expecting. I might call it unprofessional but I think there me be two reasons for this. Maybe you do not hire professional writers and your site is not run like a proper business should be run. If this is true I hope you will refund my money and I will leave you alone and not tell anyone bad reviews to avoid your site but I would advise you take it down to prevent more problems in the future.
The other option is I think maybe I under estimate my resume skills since i am now to it and maybe i created a great resume to start with so you just had to work on the format. This is a great possibility for both uf os. I am looking for work as a writer and you are a professional service. Maybe the best option is that this be counted as my application and you hire me to keep working for you. I think $50 per resume is a good amount to get paid and I would like to be part of that business.
Let us talk soon and arrange a time to talk.
Sinecerely,
Peter Bear, Writer

Bear in the Future
I have made hundreds of videos. I write music and play guitar. I am amazing with computersand the internet. These pursues have been because some day I plan to get a job that uses this skills and pays me so much money I can live on a beach and film time lapse photos of the sunset. Picture that in your mind. Not bad huh? I was very fond of the beach I went to in Los Angeles and I think I could live there without any trouble once I get the good job I want.
I am going to be the boss, writing projects and getting them made all the time. Whatever I think of we will make. Companies will pay me to make grilled cheese with their cheese and sponsor the show or give me lifetime supplies of they're cheeses. I will have great quality equipment and a theater for showing my movies to all of my friends and pets. I will buy an expensive acoustic guitar that stays intone and makes my playing sound as good as it does on good quality equipment.
This is the life for me. But my grandmother is trying to ruin my dreams and make me work at a hardware store owned by her friends from when she was a vlunteer at the library. I think there house smells like old bread and the old man that runs it looks like an old nerd which I never want to be.
She also wants me to learn to drive but she won't be me a car so i don't kow what the point is. I dont see how this contributes to the life i plan on to have in the future like i discribed before. Instead she seems to be making it harder. I cant learn to drive fully without the car i am supposed drive.
I AM NOT COMPLAINING JUST STATING THINGS LIKE THEY SEEM TO ME. THERE IS NO REASON TO GROUND ME FOR THIS.
I am very upset right now.

Who Needs a RESUME?!
Remember I shared with you a video resume last month? I was doing that for you to see how a video resume works. I have always thought a video says more than a page when you are trying to talk to someone else, and you want to know what your workers look like, are they male or female, are they kids or adults? If you write that on paper, it could be a lie. You can't lie on a video resume. Anyway, if you can't tell from my questions, I am not getting the job and the newspaper did not except my video resume, which makes me very sour.
I could write anything I want on a resume and how you would know?! You wouldn't. It is a rigged system that means that the best liar gets the job. At least with a video you can see if someone is lying from there smiles or laughs or whatever they do they can't hide it. But apparently everyone wants a paper resume with a bunch of information on it. I was not aware of this on the beginning of my job search and I never received any guidance to tell me what i needed to do until i was rudely informed I was doing it wrong for the newspaper.
A lot of people lie about what they can do and it just makes an unfair system. No wonder we have so much crime in this world if it is run on the basis of resumes alone. Technology is the wave of the future and paper is no longer going to be the best format for your accomplishments. I just can't understand it. I am going to make a resume and be 100% honest on it but I don't know if any man could ever measure up to the best liar in history.
