Economy got you down? Millions of people are using social media sites to score new jobs. Make sure you don't get left behind in the dust.
TweetMyJobs.com is the new Monster.com of the ever changing social media age. The advantage to signing up to TweetMyJobs.com as opposed to Monster.com is that with Monster.com you can sign up to receive email notifications for jobs on a daily basis, TweetMyJobs.com subscribers receive notification of a posting immediately. In this economy that lapse in time could mean the difference between getting that awesome new job or you having to continue to pick up your checks at the unemployment office.
However, remember that if you do sign up, those potential employers will have access to your tweets. So... if you are tweeting about your daily drunken escapades wallowing in your sorrow about the woes of being unemployed, that might not be the best way to put your best foot forward.
You might want to make a new Twitter or something. Just a thought... ;)
Anyway, happy job hunting ya'll. And make sure you tweet (and follow) me @BobbiBillard and let me know how it's going for you. Much love and luck. I know it's tough out there.
I Quit Smoking Cigarettes On July 22nd, 2008! Woohoo! Wish me luck! :)
I wrote that sentence above almost one year ago. And guess what! I am STILL a non-smoker to this day. I cannot believe it! I finally was able to quit for good.
This USED to be ME but...
I Quit Smoking Cigarettes On July 22nd, 2008! Woohoo! Wish me luck! :)
I wrote that sentence almost one year ago & guess what! I am still a non smoker to this day. I can't believe it! I finally was able to quit for good & the desire is gone. Sayonara! Good riddance!
I started smoking when I was 17. I knew better than to start smoking. We were taught in school that it was bad for you. Unfortunately, I tried clove cigarettes thinking I was so cool. I didn't know that cloves had nicotine in them & were just as addictive as cigarettes. I mean, my mom had cloves in her spice rack in the kitchen. I thought it was just a spice. Stupid me didn't realize what I was doing to myself & before long it was too late & I was already hooked on nicotine. I ended up switching over to regular cigarettes since the cloves were always hard to find (especially when I ran out. It was easier to bum a Marlboro over a Djarum) & the rest is history. Most of the time I was a smoker I hated it & was actively trying to quit. I quit for a year once when I was on the tv show WOW Women of Wrestling but went back to it after a few drinks one night celebrating our first wrestling match. I thought I could just smoke one or be the type of smoker that only smoked when she drank. I couldn't have been more wrong!
I tried almost every method to quit smoking: Nicorette Gum, the patch, Wellbutrin, Freedom Laser, hypnosis, & cold turkey. Chantix was the only thing that put me in the mindset that I have now. I must say if you need help with quitting, Chantix (Champix in Europe) really works! Best stuff I ever took to help me quit. I highly recommend it.
I know now that even one cigarette puff would be detrimental to all the work that I have put in so far & I'm not willing to go back to square one again. Not to mention, there are so many benefit to quitting. I was an asthmatic but now I don't have problems with that anymore. Plus, I have a little dog that probably would have gotten cancer from second hand smoke had I continued. This is the single best thing I've ever done for my health, my family, & the people/animal that I love. If you need help with quitting smoking, add me as a friend on Community.Become An EX.com and I will be your quit buddy. Let me know if you need support with your decision to stop quit by posting a comment for me. I will be here for you.
Smoking = Epic FAIL!

Phew! I finally got done inputting all of my passwords into Ping.fm. Here's my first test run. Testing... one two three. :)
As I approach 1.3 million friends on myspace, I thought of a brilliant plan. Can you imagine if every single person each gave me a dollar? I'd be rich, right?
Well sorta... First of all, I could never see myself asking ya'll for a dollar. I mean come on... that would be extremely tacky!
However, I came up with an idea and a goal. I see people on these social networking websites building up a lot of fame and notoriety. How many of them are doing things to make a difference in this world? There are a few here and there but the way I see it, there aren't enough. And in this ME ME ME (and what about ME?) driven society, I thought that something must be done. So I set a goal for myself and do you know what I'm going to do? I am going to be the first person to use my position on myspace and these websites to raise a million dollars for a charity that I care about. I am going to raise $1 million to fight pancreatic cancer! And the plan was born...
I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer when I was only 19, and my whole world crumbled. I watched him suffer from this horrible disease and knew that I didn't want anyone else to go through what he went through.
Pancreatic cancer has the worst survival rate and is the most under funded of all major cancers. 75% of pancreatic cancer patients will die within 12 months and less than 5% survive for five years!!! The only way to change the horrible statistics is to raise as much money as possible for research! We've seen what research efforts have done for other diseases. Let's raise money to fund research NOW for pancreatic cancer and not let another person lose someone they love.
The people at Pancreatic Cancer Action Network were kind enough to help me come up with a way to do this. Now I just need your help. I would greatly appreciate it if you would help me out with this plan.
Please give whatever you are able. This is a very important cause to me. Just look at it this way... give up a couple of Starbucks, or give up that pizza & beer for one Saturday night, or one manicure & pedicure, or dinner & a movie. I think you get the picture. Give what you can but give from your heart!
Together, we can really make a difference!
Visit www.pancan.org/bobbi and check it out. All donations are tax deductible and if you donate, you even have a chance to win a date with ME. And... I am going to give an autographed photo to the first 100 people that donate.
XoXoX, Bobbi Billard
P.S. If you cannot afford to give anything (not even a dollar?), another way you can contribute is by helping me spread the word. Please put a banner on your page to help me promote this cause. You can find the code in my "Heroes" section of my myspace.
