On the Horizon for 2011

Well, as usual it has been quite some time since I last wrote anything here on my blog, but I was browsing over all my online profiles and figured I should give this another update. Looks like I haven't been on here in more than a year.

So, lets see what has happened in that time:

I finally graduated with my Bachelor of Business Administration Degree from Georgia State University back in December of 2010. I majored in Marketing with a minor in Psychology. The job search has been somewhat strained, although I am working part time at Life Time Fitness as a Member Services Team Member. I am still looking for a more traditional job related to my major, so basically a job involving use of marketing, advertising, and other related skills would be ideal.

I haven't been able to take a vacation this year, and probably won't do much, but work and look for a more traditional job throughout the rest of the year. Hopefully I will be able to go on vacation and see my aunts, uncles, and cousins in Brazil sometime in December which should be really fun. Well, that's about all for now, maybe I'll have another update sooner if I have any new exciting news.

Nitrogen Tire Inflation

Here is a link to a website that can give some basic information about how using nitrogen to inflate your tires is better than regular compressed air.

Time for an Update!

I'm still in school at Georgia State University working on my Marketing degree and actually decided to add a Psychology minor to beef up my skill set. In doing so I will be graduating this December instead of in May like I had originally planned.

I just recently accepted an offer to work for Nitrogen Generation Systems . N2 Generator is a portable nitrogen generator system for consumer and commercial vehicles. This system helps people by keeping proper tire inflation pressure which maximizes a vehicles tire life and fuel efficiency. I'm excited about this new opportunity to learn something new and help this company grow and become successful.

New Job and New Adventures

What up world, life is good! So I just got a new job at LA Fitness in Alpharetta as a Sales Counselor. I'm really excited to start working and my first day of training is tomorrow at noon. I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but my brother tells me that his sales training for the company he works for MFS (My Fitness Solution) is based somewhat on principles his boss Fadi Malouf learned while he worked for LA Fitness.

My brother is the Executive Director of Training at MFS and has several trainers that work under him. My brother and I did not always get along, but once we got older our relationship became much better. He called me yesterday and asked if I wanted to work out. I really didn't feel like working out, but he said he was in the area near my apt. so I obliged his offer. As usual he kicked my butt while we worked out, but hey if you don't sweat and get sore it's probably not that good of a work out any way.

Well, that's bout all I can think to blog for now, so I'm signing off. Later world and Frank, thanks for all your support and constant inspiration to drive me to succeed and overcome any and all obstacles!

So Summer Classes Begin

Hello everybody,

Just wanted to write an update with everything that has been happening in my crazy life. I started my summer classes at GSU yesterday, and now I've got a whole bunch of work ahead of me that I need to prepare for. I'm also looking for a job, so if anybody has any opportunities, preferably in Business Marketing that would be great! I'm looking forward to the rest of the summer and have high hopes for the future success of both my personal and business/financial life.

Research into Social Media

I have recently been interning at Carpenter and Company, a marketing company specializing in non-traditional media to build and promote a brand or company. I have been doing a significant amount of research regarding social media and its uses in marketing and growing a customer base. I have a facebook, a myspace, and a linkedin account, and utilize all these things to help get a better understanding of the atmosphere regarding marketing using these tools. I have just recently discovered the use of rss feeds and widgets as well, which can be used to cross promote onto my other sites.
