Hello friends! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I haven’t posted in quite a few days. My apologies! The blog is going through some Spring cleaning. How cliche of me

For now, I’d like to introduce you to a new series I’d like to incorporate – the ”Oh, How Nifty!” series. Cute or neat little inspirations I’ve gotten from other people or my own noggin that I think would be worth sharing. Enjoy!

I was talking to the manager at my gym the other day about job opportunities and good ways to show potential employers that you really do care to work for their company and are passionate. We were swinging ideas back and forth and he suggested buying a fresh (so fresh and so clean!) pair of shoes and sending one to the company – I haven’t lost you yet, have I? Keep reading - and keeping the other one. In the box with the shoe, write something like “just wanted to get my foot in the door, once I’m hired, I’ll be sure to take another step and walk (or run) with the company” or “I’m more than ready to take the next step when you are!” Just make sure if you use the term “run” that you aren’t sending a heeled shoe, that’s an automatic cue for imagery of face-plants.

I thought that was just a splendid idea. Depending on the company, you can play around with the whole shoe idea, too. Maybe think of some other paired item to send instead of a shoe, too. The options are endless!

What’s one nifty idea someone has shared with you today?

Peace and love!

p.s. make sure the shoes you send are new. Getting a breeze full of stank feet when you open up a box isn’t a good way to get your foot in any door.
