Trip To Walmart

12/15/2015

0 Comments

 
We took a trip to Walmart to learn how to take care of yourself when you live on your own.
When working with a budget it will save money in the long run. It is important to look for sales and discounts. When you go shopping don’t always get name brand items because it can be expensive.
So look for the store brand instead for one it can be cheaper and two it could be just as good or better.

Guest Speaker: Lupita from Direct

12/10/2015

Lupita came to visit our workshop from Direct Center for Independence. She let us know about some of the services Direct offers such as:
  • Information & Referral: Information on all types of resources to assist you in becoming independent
  • Independent Living Skills: Teaches you all the skills you need to know in order to live on your own
  • Peer Support/Peer Mentor: If you have a skill you can help to teach someone else
  • My Life Program: DDD Program to assist you in reaching your goals of independence
I have been to direct and worked with Christian Padilla on learning how to budget my money and I found it to be very informative. I also had a lot of fun and got to meet some new people. I suggest you give them a call and go check them out. You can call and schedule a tour.

Money is the Best Thing in the World!

This week we learned how to read a paycheck and how to budget. I was surprised at how many other expenses you will have when you move out on your own like dish soap, vacuum cleaner bags, and cable. But if you stick to a budget you will be able to pay your bills and save money!

Advice for Interviews

11/17/2015

0 Comments

 
Here is my advice for Job Interviews:
  1. Try not to be nervous. Think of being the strong link in the chain!
  2. Don't be afraid. If you think of it as a journey into the real world it may help you not to be as nervous.
  3. Make sure you have a really good smile!
  4. Make sure you dress nice and have good hygiene.
  5. Shake hands when you enter and when you leave.
  6. Have good eye contact and use your active listening skills.
  7. If you don't get the job, keep trying! Don't ever give up!

Hygiene is a good thing!

11/5/2015

​This week, I went to the store and I looked for hygiene supplies at Walmart to help with getting a job and keeping it. I also looked at professional clothing for interviews. It is best to wear a collared shirt, no jeans or tennis shoes. It would be better to wear khakis instead of cargo pants. If you are wearing dark pants and shoes then wear dark socks not white. Make sure you wear a belt and that your clothes aren’t too baggy. Make sure you brush your teeth, floss, and use mouthwash.  Don’t wear a hat and make sure your hair is clean, trimmed, and brushed. Take a shower and use deodorant but be careful not to put on too much cologne. Being professional means proper hygiene and grooming, being on time, and being productive.

Mr. Mason was our guest speaker from Popcorn Country.
He was very nice and informative. Plus he brought us samples of popcorn! He told us about many things including the dress code and what makes a good employee.

On my first day of class I was scaraed out of my mind. I was anxious and nervous. But, I was very surprised at how cool this class is turning out to be. Everyone is very interesting and I really like that.
