Up & Down with Production Assistant Caesar Rivera

Looks like Rosie has new competition in town—and he’s on her payroll. Meet Caesar Rivera, a crafty production assistant who’s transformed an elevator into the set of his own talk show. With guests like Andy Dick, Tracy Morgan and Leisha Hailey, Caesar’s star is rising…to the second floor.

I was so inspired when I saw this. This just goes to show that you can start out with anything and there’s no telling where it can lead, even if its to the set, and eventually the stage of the Rosie Talk show.

How an act of kindness turned into making a difference #payingitforward

The guy ahead of me at Starbucks the other day offered me a free cup of coffee. Apparently, with every pack of coffee, one gets a free cup of coffee & he didn’t want it. In turn, I brought a www.createjobsforusa.org wristband, which helps create jobs in the USA.

Every time I look at this bracelet, I will not only remember the act of kindness I encountered, but I will also remember how many people, including our veterans,  who are in need to work.

5 Things to Do to Score a Testimonial on Twitter.

Posted in Life after College, Uncategorized
Twitter

 

Lately, a handful of Twitter Testimonials are popping up in my stream.

Getting a testimonial is tough enough. Finding the right opportunity to ask, nicely is one thing. However if you are lucky, you just might get your wish.

What should one do to get one?

  1. Do great work.
  2. Listen – This doesn’t need an explaination, does it?
  3. See a Tweet that interest you? Re-Tweet or reply.
  4. Be helpful/ Be a resource. Have a link or a tip you think your followers can use? Tweet it out.
  5. Don’t over promote. Nobody likes anyone who talks on and on. It can get boring after a while.  :-o

P.S. Don’t forget to say “Thank You!” when they do provide you with one. :)

I hardly print out anything nowadays unless it absolutely necessary.

DYK (as the kids say,) or for the rest of us, “Did You Know?” that if you changed the font that you use that your ink can last longer?

Lucky for me, I was always partial to a particular font.

This tip will especially come in handy for those on campus who are submitting papers the ‘old school’ way.

One Web Day, Half a Decade Later

Posted in Uncategorized

OneWebDay 2010

Five years. That’s how long its been since I posted about One Web Day. The themes for this year’s event have helped me professionally and personally.

A lot has happened in 5 years. We are able to communicate, collaborate and work like we haven’t done before, and the wheels are still turning.

How I’d acknowledged One Web Day? For a moment, I stepped out of my box of everyday. I shared and contributed. I provided recommendations to friends and colleagues online. The best part? The day’s not over yet!

How are you celebrating One Web Day?
