Have You Googled Yourself Lately?

Have you ever googled yourself, lately?

Whether it's for vanity search or in seek of a new job, most employers today (notably the western kind) will google your name before they call the applicant to present at the interview, before they put through your CV in three category. More likely, less likely, not-at-all.

Under the anodyne, carefully-structured, emphasized language of Curriculum Vitae, it is an act of importance to check the applicant as viewed by other. Lack of search result may makes the employer thing that you don't know how the world revolve ; as it's obviously you devoid yourself from kind of any technology development.

There are nothing worse (except for bankruptcy, perhaps) than hiring the wrong person for the job, especially if its involved in decision-making process that correlate causatively with the market share of the company.

Pre-emptive action must be taken to prevent that ever occurs, and in the era of one click away from information and data, googling the applicant was one of the most trustworthy method.

In fact, 80% and still counting number of employers in USA, googled your name when you put through that application in their marbled desk.

Of course sometimes there are people who have common names more likely to be buried in the google search result and it would be worse if there another famous people those who have the same name as you (especially when you're only known by your facebook/twitter account).

So? Soar high! Don't be ashamed to achieve, write, and active.

Because our thought will never ever be known until it immortalized by our words

"Come on, Clumsy! This is not the time for dilly-dolly!" Brainy says as he drag Clumsy toward the 
running smurfs that curious to see the petrified Gargamel.

"Gargamel has turned to stone!" Hefty shout, making Jokey who currently wrapping his box lost concentration and resulting the infamous explosion.

"That's not funny." Jokey spout, as he follow the other smurfs.

"Gargamel has turned to stone!" again, Hefty shout, as the group passing Painter who currently painting the scenery. Hearing Hefty, he drop his brush, and leave his painting to follow the other smurfs.

"Gargamel has turned to stone!" again, Hefty shout. This time, Papa smurf is the one who heard it. And after said that he better take a look, he follow the crowd.

Not too long, the smurfs arrived at the pointed place, stealthily they hide themselves behind the bushes and tree. After confirming that Gargamel and Azrael are indeed turned to stone, the smurf swarmed to them in joy.

"The last smurf to the top is a wet smurf!" Hefty piped up, laughing, as he and several other smurfs climb to Gargamel and Azrael statue.

"Good thing, this is happen Gargamel, cause I just want to give you the old one-two!" Hefty says, grinning and begin punching Gargamel on the nose.


For the Love of Gargamel : Alternated | Point of View : Brainy Smurf

Brainy smurf is apprentice of Papa smurf. Apprentice is someone, or in this case, some smurf, who learn something from the some smurf who be apprenticed for. Brainy learn magic from Papa smurf.
Papa smurf is a wizard, or that what he claimed to be, even though, he is more likely to be alchemist as his term of magical power came from multivarious kind of potion that he mixed beforehand.

It is to Papa smurf's belief that magic should only be used within the presence of catalyst, in this case a potion or a magical item. Because magic that casted without catalyst may not properly functioning, or worse they demand too much from the caster as there is no such thing as a free lunch.

And as Papa smurf's apprentice, or his personal assistant as he often proudly pronounce, Brainy know this, the fact of catalytic law. And in his quest to attain the respect of other smurfs, Brainy is an eager apprentice, he learn, he read, and he 'practice' magic and spell that yet had been taught to him.

But, due to his arrogant streak, over self-confidence, and ignorance beyond unknown resulting a really 'blown up' situation, Papa smurf is not really eager to accept Brainy helping his experiment and often politely excused him.

Today is not particularly sunny day, well figuratively speaking of course. Because today is a sunny day, rather scorching to be exact. Perhaps, due to that reason, Lazy Smurf decide to have an ever-lasting nap under the shade of an elm tree. Seems nothing wrong with it, right? Innocent, tolerated, and rather quite-advised, well, that's true if not for the fact that all of his friend is currently working.

Well, as if it is not oblivious enough, work and lazy are not on the same page, except in the antonym's section perhaps.

Lazy is just not cut up for work.
