GUESTLIST 2016 / ISSUE 86 9 GUESTLIST 1 – Make your skills known What do you love doing? Become amazing at it! Whether it's playing an instrument, taking photos of buildings or arts and crafts – it doesn't matter just show it off! It takes a minute to create a Facebook or Instagram page. How will you be able turn your passion into a paid income if nobody can see it? 2 – Take the "work" out of work. Think about your skills and hobbies. Do you love reading? Maybe you would be a good copy editor. Love drawing doodles on your notepads? Maybe a career in illustration? Love talking to new people? Perhaps PR is the job for you. There's a career for every skill! 3 – Think about what the job you want looks like Think about all the details that you overlooked in your last job. Is your ideal job a place where you would wear a uniform, a suit or jeans? Do you want to work in an office all day or travel? Do you prefer structured environments or creative? Considering these things will narrow down the job hunt and you'll feel a lot clearer about what you want to do 4 – Evaluate your past Think about your previous jobs. Think about the things you liked and disliked, what you found easy/difficult, what your accomplishments were and how you felt about the company culture. What did you find boring? It will help you look for the right environment and characteristics when you look for your dream job! 5 – Go out and talk to people! A lot of the time people find that they land their dream job (or are closer to finding it) when they least expect it. Go out, meet new people, talk to people and have some fun. You never know who you'll meet so get out there and live your life! Now let's put our excuses to bed and smash our dream job! There's absolutely no reason why we should stay in jobs that we hate. Not many people are willing to own up to hitting their children - it's one of those social issues that are dealt with a blind eye. GET OUT OF THAT SHITTY JOB! FEATURE WHY ARE WE ALLOWED TO HIT THE MOST VULNERABLE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY? Life is way too short! If you dread going into work every morning and you feel like you're slaving away, get out of there! Don't waste your amazing energy on a job that you're not passionate about. Nobody gets in legal trouble for smacking a child (assuming it's theirs) yet the whole world loves to speak as soon as someone expresses some anti-child- hitting opinion. It's 2016 and people think it's weird to be against hitting kids. Where the fuck have we gone wrong? When a child misbehaves, they might get a smack from mum; that same child sulks in his room and one day at school, hits another child in his class and gets in trouble for it. The parent will get called in and the child is confused because just the other day he got a smack for misbehaving. Mums will probably try to explain why hitting another child is wrong, but it's completely pointless because they've already hit the child. They've already drilled it in the child's head (whether you agree or not) that physical violence is the answer when someone does something that you don't like. Then we try to tell them not to do it to others? It doesn't make any sense. What the fuck is a child going to learn from being hit? What lesson are they going to take away from physical violence? The worst part is that people think that as long as you're not being overly violent and beating them, a smack or two is okay. But then as soon as that child gets a bit bigger and hits someone else, they get in trouble. How is this child's tiny brain going to understand what's going on here? Physical violence to teach children discipline is just laughable and the highest form of stupidity I can imagine. We're not living in the dinosaur era – words actually work on humans. When someone annoys us at work or does something that we don't like, why don't we just slap them around the face? Why can't we just deck them the same way that we do to kids and hope that they don't do it again? We literally hit kids thinking that they're going to learn something. And then we EXPECT THEM TO LOVE US! Just read it again and again: We choose physical violence over verbal resolution when trying to raise our children. STOP HITTING YOUR FUCKING KIDS!
