Welcome to the BIG World!

Big day today! Handed in my final piece of coursework for my 3rd year at UWS! 1 exam to go, but that should be a degree of BA Business with Management pretty much wrapped up (providing I pass my coursework!). Not much more I can do now, but sit back and hope for the best!

(University of the West of Scotland, Paisley)

 



Not 100% on the chance of me returning to UWS for my honours year. I would like to do it, chances are I will need it to get any kind of job anyway; but I want to genuinely get a career job before next term, thats the GOAL!

Welcome to the BIG world, its a scary place! Looking at Job titles and descriptions and its daunting. I have spent 3 years at UWS, years I've worked hard and did my best to learn. There is always that fear of; "Will I know what I'm doing? Am I capable of doing a job in the field that I studied?" I would hate to turn up at a job and not know what I was supposed to do, thats the fear that I need to overcome!

Job descriptions and responsibilities state that the candidate would be involved in blah and blah. When reading it all I can make out is blah and blah sometimes, because a lot of the words go in and fly straight back out, I haven't heard of half of the things that you would be required to do, is this just me or is it the same for everyone?

I question job descriptions, will I actually do these things, or will I turn up and be given help to get me going. DO I really need to know the things that are written down, or is something I already know from my own business knowledge, just worded different?


These are some of the barriers I will face in the next few months I reckon, anybody who has been here before me, if you have advice, that would be nice haha.


I'm looking at getting involved in Project Management or Business Development. These seem to be the areas that interest me, I believe I would make a good project manager. I'm generally creative and well organised and on the whole I'm able to take lead/charge of tasks I'm involved in.

If any employer ever reads this, you know how to contact me! ;) (gkfraser92@gmail.com)


Ach well, if it doesn't work out, theres always Costa hot chocolates to comfort us eh!

Thanks Folks

My day

Well, today's been busy as well! Non-stop at the moment because of work and university as I've mentioned before. Today consisted of sitting in work for a 4 hour shift, doing nothing, just waiting around for the non-existent custoemrs to appear! Poor start to the day. Got home around 2.30pm, went down to the Walkway/Waterfront down by the River Clyde (Scotland), in my town (Erskine, Scotland). Obviously I was bored and avoiding the report I had to write up, as I decided it would be a good idea to go for a run! Did a mile, knackered (beyond unfit right now). Been in the house since then writing a 'group' report, you all know how much I love it! I hate becoming a leader in a uni group, I know it make me look like a dictator and I hate coming across bad at any point to anyone in any situation. But, as you will already probably know from My 'University life' blog post, I've no choice! Had to sort things out again, stress created where not needed to be!

I say I've been actively doing university projects all day, but I havent half distracted myself today. Like any student, I do anything when studying or writing reports (like goign for jogs :S ). I managed to spend over an hour watching YouTube videos, addicted to 'Epic rap battles of History' videos at the moment. Really funny videos with rap battles between charatcers liek Adolf Hitler and Dart Vader, lighthearted videos that make fun out of characters and life, great fun watch! Look them up!

I even managed to get into some weird trance like state whilst listening to my iPod today! Was belting out songs full blast in my ear and signing at teh top of my voice! Trust me, thats not something you want to hear! Was in this mood for about 10 minutes before the sister came bursting in to tell me to "Shut it!" and not in such polite terms! Haha!

One song that I was stuck to, kept replaying it, which had the following verse in it;

 "...try to keep up with me because I can give you some, all that you need, I give you such a rush, baby step up your game, keep up with my pace, girl I know that you want it, don;t hesitate!"

 

Checked the song out on youtube, found out its called "Speed Up" by Funkerman. Dance back track, but it was really the lyrics I was enjoying. I foudn the original video on Youtube but it was actually a mix I was listenign to by the ministry of sound, in their 'Mashup' Running Trax' album by the cut up boys. Really enjoyed it, smooth and relaxing with meaning!

 

Infact; (lyrics about 1minute in)

 

Have a listen, see if you agree!

 

Anyway, reports are done and finalisied, can relax for a couple of days until the next one gets closer (due next Tuesday!) So yeha, pretty happy now, writing my blog whilst listening to my new track! Brilliant!

 

 

 

 

See you later
