As my blog, MissJia.com, begins to grow, so does the need for additional staff to help handle the day to day operations of the website.

I am currently looking for 1-3 additional people to add to the sales staff for the website. The ideal candidate would have experience in sales. Experience does not have to be in any one specific field but ideally, would involve a candidate who is able to handle cold calling and/or email sales with minimal supervision.

Your day to day activities would include contacting various companies via email or phone to offer advertising space on MissJia.com. You will be given a list of available advertising space as well as a price sheet. Although pricing for advertising spots is generally concrete, there are some flexibilities based on a company’s size, budget and genuine interest in securing advertisement on the website.

Additionally, I am looking for someone who is aggressive without being overbearing. A good sales person would know the difference. I am requesting that you have verifiable sales experience, know how to follow instructions but can generally be ‘quick on your feet,’ again, with minimal supervision. All materials needed (price sheets, advertisement locations, website stats, etc.,) will be provided. However, you must have reliable access to the internet. Sales positions are commission based with negotiable options for percentage cuts based on your experience.

If you have questions or you’re interested, email me at holla@missjia.com with resume/information about you and your experience in sales.

I won’t say too much because I’ve been guilty in the past of putting a lot out there when in essence, I should’ve kept my mouth closed.

But this here…lawd. I am probably gonna say too much. #kanyeshrug

First off, let me say that blogging is uber messy. When you have a personal blog, that’s one thing. But the moment you take on the task of blogging about other people and their lives, it becomes a sticky situation.

I haven’t written anything on my personal blog in a hot second. No real reason…just haven’t.

I have been so busy, kinda.

Alright, someone left a comment that I won’t post in its entirety but I will say that people really should learn to accept and understand that everybody’s idea of success and happiness don’t lie in the same things. For the record, blogging is something that I simply do as a hobby and it’s a hobby that just so happens to make me money. On the flip side, I am also a full time college student majoring in criminal justice (focus is criminal investigations and a minor in cyber crimes). Just because I don’t continuously speak aloud the things that I do doesn’t mean that I don’t do them. I don’t judge anyone for what their choices are in careers because at the end of the day, you have to ultimately do what makes you happy. But what makes you happy does NOT make you better than anyone else. Just because you have a plan for what you think one should do with their life doesn’t mean that they should follow it…nor does it mean that, if they choose to do something that’s opposite of what you expect, that they’re ‘wasting’ time. I don’t make it a point to mock, talk about or insult people who choose to go to law school…who choose to do hair…who choose to slide down a pole. The expectation is that some of you learn to return the favor. Just know that as long as “I” am happy, it’s alright.

Oh boy, today was a trip. Nothing bad but…I think that I’ll reserve at least part of it for Youtube. I owe you guys a video this week anyway.

You know, I think that for now, God wants me to be single as heck. As hell. Whatever. The reason I say that is not b/c I haven’t met anyone worth the time. But I think that right now, my focus is so strong that He is somehow looking out and making sure I maintain that momentum. It gets hard because I’ve never been in a position with actual “business” before everyone else. I’ve also noticed that no matter what pace YOUR life is moving, everybody else has a pace that they’re either trying to catch up to or simply trying to follow. It’s never fair or considerate to ask someone to change their focus just so you can get whatever emotions you need from them. I’m learning that…doesn’t mean I mastered it.

Additionally, I’ve also learned that I actually don’t like guys who “need” me. To want me is one thing but to act as though my time is somehow less important than yours is another. Having recently moved back to Atlanta after a year and a half long hiatus, I’m reacquainting myself with the city I love so much, trying to make sure that the steps that I FEEL have been ordered for me are handled with the patience and diligence they so rightfully deserve. People who can’t understand that are lost. It’s selfish and ridiculous to ask someone to *pause* their life and blessings b/c of YOU and your agenda.

I don’t like that…and I’ll make for damn sure I don’t give off the same energy.

Goodnite.

Today was one of those days where everything was fantabulous until the end.

Found out that Pleasure P plays with children’s kiddy parts. And I have a crazy ass headache that won’t go away.

The good news is I managed to clean out my makeup box, my hair products box, my facial products box and cleaned up my bedroom and bathroom so well that you’d want to eat off the floor.

And then there’s that crush. I promised I wouldn’t write about my personal life where relationships are concerned. I hate when someone’s personality is bomb ass and we “match.” I find myself kinda finding reasons to pull away. Now, this isn’t to say that I’m in love or some crazy shit like that but we click…and I like it.

My brother reminded me a few days ago to keep options. “We always have them…you’re my sister. You should too.” Solid advice from a 23 year old. ha!

This weekend is going to be epic. Uh, nails/toes…car wash/oil change/tire rotation…cleaning up and then….

Wouldn’t you like to know? Stay tuned! *smiles

I don’t like having crushes.

And you know what those crushes consist of…smiling all stupid every time you’re on the phone with a person, laughing at CORNY shit that you probably wouldn’t laugh at if you weren’t crushing. Blah…crushes suck.

But I like it.

I just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! I hope that you take the time to enjoy and cherish your family, friends, the good food and everything else that this day has to offer.

I have so much to be thankful for. I think that in life, a lot of times we tend to focus on the things that we don’t have, the things we WISH we had or the things that OTHER people have rather than being thankful for what we DO have right here, right now.

Aside from being thankful for my life in general, I am thankful for my family, my really good TRUE friends. I am thankful for the clarity that God is giving me on a daily basis…the ability to really see my own good and bad. And I’m thankful for the support that you guys continue to show! It’s freakin’ amazing!

To those of you spending today alone…maybe b/c you’re overseas, your family lives a crazy distance away or maybe you don’t have any family…I just want to say Bless You and may God be with you on this day so that your heart and spirit are filled with contentment and appreciation for what you do have.

Everybody be safe today!

Love,

J.

Alright…earlier yesterday, the movie Seven Pounds came on one of the channels that I have with my satellite company. The movie started off slow so I decided that I wouldn’t bother watching. I’m totally the type of person you have to catch within the first few minutes of a movie or I zone out. The ONLY exception has been the movie, Meet Joe Black.

After watching Notorious two and a half times, Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, I FINALLY said that I would really watch and pay attention to Seven Pounds.

Right now, I am typing this blog in tears because it seriously stirred up a bevy of emotions that have had me on edge for the past couple of weeks. I won’t give away the movie at all but strongly encourage anybody to watch it…especially if you’re at spot in your life where you take people and things for granted, where you seem more selfish than selfless. There have been so many days where I’ve had questions about specific events or situations in my life and…well…the movie really made me think. It made me think a lot about consumption…and how a lot of times we…or I…allow certain things and certain people to consume me…about my own humility and willingness to give….how ungrateful I have been in the past about my situation and towards those who genuinely care about me. I don’t want to go into details b/c again, I do NOT want to give away the movie but it was really an eye opener and I’m glad I took the time to watch it.

What I can say is that as I move closer to my goals and TRYING to turn myself into a better person overall, I’ve taken notice to my thoughts and ideas that take up space in my mind. My grandmother always told me that an idle mind is the devil’s playground. Sometimes, that time alone is great because it gives you the opportunity to get things done and just “think.” But when those thoughts begin to consume you…and it becomes all about you you you…it’s a problem. The movie really reminded me of that in it’s own way.

That being said, I’m going to bed. Just make sure you check out that movie, k?
