ASHton + ETHan + kayLEE = ashethlee | the drivers of my life

I'm adjusting to coming home at dinner time now. All I have left is the energy for my meal, and to relax with the kids. Thank goodness this is post-exams and we are in the holiday mood now. So I brought the kids down for a skate/cycle, and Kaylee got into the mood to dance. Can I say, I find this a beautiful mix of self-expressive 'street' style contemporary? Whatever that means, that is. :p I hope she finds joy in dancing, and never stops so.

I decided a few months back, to get a regular full time position. It was time to relook at my portfolio, I felt I would start falling back in times and demand if there was any further delay. I used LinkedIn for my job hunt, and the more I browsed through, the worse I felt. I could sense the need to improve myself in today's context, especially for people from my 'era' of graduating before social media became the buzz. What I do have is the hands-on experience, perhaps a bit of different departments, not a niche expert though. The problem about looking at LinkedIn I felt, was that only the big brands stood out, and as such, the number of applicants per job was ridiculous. It was just too easy to click "Apply Now" in today's digital platform. Naturally, many of such applicants would have just clicked without reading much about the job description. I began to wonder what a tough time HR would have had going through those hundreds of applicants per position.
