This book is a must read for all High School and College students, also job seekers. It is well written with practical steps on how to succeed even in a difficult job market. It proves that “Education Is Power”, and You Can Go Forth to Higher Education” and succeed with hard work. They are short stories with true life experiences. If you plant your seeds, you can harvest your crop, and find a challenging job.
I highly recommend you get a copy of this book quickly, you will be glad you did.
I participated in the Zoom call hosted by Valentina Janek and Blue Ocean Solutions on June 4, 2020.
I found Valentina to be inspirational, motivational, honest, funny and articulate.
Val got to the point, without adding any frills, that we should not sit around and feel sorry for ourselves because of a loss of a job, either by design or circumstance. Val got across that life happens to all of us, we are not singled out by the universe, but we ourselves are the ones who will either choose self-pity or get up, get dressed and get out and find a new path, even if it means getting out of our comfort zone. Sitting around with a ‘woe is me’ attitude never solved anything and usually makes our life circumstances worse.
Val emphasized that it’s just not losing a job that might side-track us, but any adverse challenge that comes our way. Getting up and getting out and moving forward is basically the same antidote for any adverse situation in our lives.
Val got me going when she said that even though we may not be where we want to be at the moment, go out and volunteer. Go do something for someone else and that will make you feel better about yourself and life in general. And she’s right. Because even though I’m lucky to still be employed, I’m not exactly where I want to be (I suddenly lost my husband two years ago and then had to sell my home (where my kids were born and grew up) because I couldn’t afford the house on my own. I’m just living in a temporary apartment right now until I know where I want to be). So I’m going to take Val’s advice and find somewhere to volunteer, get out of my comfort zone, and go do something for someone else. I’ll bet in a few months I’ll be on a path that I didn’t even know existed and for the better.
So you keep talking Val and spreading your optimism and spirit because after these past several months of Covid 19 and other tough matters going on in the world today, we need more voices like yours.
