00:01 The following program discuses sensitive issues.
00:03 Parents are cautioned that some material 00:05 may be too candid for younger children. 00:10 Welcome to "The New Journey," 00:12 the program where we meet real life people, 00:14 with real life testimonies, 00:16 with real life working ministries for Jesus. 00:18 Today we'll delve into our program with Ms. Paula Hollmon. 00:21 On our last program with Ms. Hollmon, we learned about 00:23 job readiness and being prepared for the outside world 00:26 when released from jail or prison. 00:29 Today we want to get even more practical 00:31 and talk about the dress code when looking for a job 00:33 and how to carry yourself on a day to day basis. 00:36 I'm your host Aaron Chancy. 00:37 Come join us on "The New Journey." 01:08 Welcome back to "The New Journey." 01:09 Today, we have an exciting, exciting program 01:12 with Miss Paula Hollmon. 01:13 Thank you for being on the show Ms. Paula Hollmon. 01:14 Thank you for having me back. 01:15 All right, amen. 01:17 Now we did a previous program where you were on 01:19 and you talked about your organization. 01:21 What exactly is your organization? 01:24 And can you provide some information, what it does? 01:26 Absolutely, JAS4YOU Development Foundation 01:29 is a life skills community training 01:31 and development service. 01:33 We provide services for people who are looking for employment 01:37 and who need to beef up their skills at. 01:40 And we also provide referral programs to anyone 01:44 that comes to our organization for help. 01:46 Okay. 01:47 Now many men, many viewers may have not seen the previous show 01:52 and we talked on there about job readiness. 01:55 We talked about job placement assistance. 01:57 We talked about prisoner re-entry initiative program 02:00 and we talked about referral programs. 02:02 All of these programs are very important, aren't they? 02:04 They are absolutely important. Okay. 02:06 Now we talked also about how when people seem 02:09 to follow these steps in this program, 02:12 they probably have better success rate 02:14 of making in out in society, is that correct? 02:16 Absolutely because they also learn 02:18 how to discover and investigate. 02:20 Okay, okay. Along the way. 02:22 Okay, that's great. 02:23 Now, what I want to move into is some new information. 02:26 People may have seen that old information, 02:28 we want to move into some new information. 02:30 Now in the job readiness there is some core topics. 02:33 We want to talk a little bit about these core topics. 02:35 The first one being ''Goal setting and Perseverance.'' 02:38 Goal setting and Perseverance 02:40 comes out the way you interview, 02:43 those characteristics come out in your interview. 02:47 They give you a sense of positiveness, 02:49 when you're talking to anyone who is trying to interview you. 02:54 So these are very important skills and they're fundamental 02:57 in the baseline for being successful 02:59 for a job or anything. 03:01 Okay. Okay. 03:02 Also in the core topics is "Resume Preparation." 03:05 Right. Resume Preparation is extremely important. 03:10 Because we live in a society where you're not actually 03:14 going to a manager and handing them your application... 03:18 Resume preparation is critical. Okay. 03:21 So not only do you want to list your job duties, 03:24 you also want to list how effective you were 03:27 in those various positions that you held. 03:31 One of the key things are called Key Words. 03:34 Key Words are words that the hiring manager 03:37 tells the computer to look for. 03:40 For example, if I am hiring someone 03:43 who I want them to type 80 wpm 03:46 and I tell the computer to find anyone... 03:52 who has typed 80 wpm and send their resume to me. 03:57 So the computer will turnaround and if you have 60 wpm, 04:01 the manger will never ever, ever see your resume. 04:04 So key words are important 04:06 and the way you find those key words 04:08 are built into the job description 04:10 that the hiring manger has the job opening for. 04:13 Okay. 04:14 Now as a little side note I want to do this. 04:17 You know many times when people are filling out 04:19 job applications or trying to fill out a resume, 04:22 you know they always want 04:24 what some of the previous jobs that you've held. 04:26 How is it, is it important to stay at one job 04:30 for a long time? 04:31 Case in point, I've tried to go for job interviews 04:34 many a different times years ago, 04:36 and I will put on there 04:38 okay, I've only worked at this job three months, 04:40 only worked at this job for a month. 04:42 I'd never really worked at a job 04:43 longer than three months. 04:44 How hard is to get a job if you only stay at a job 04:48 may be one month, two months, three months? 04:51 But people don't see that consistency 04:52 in your work pattern. 04:54 It's all in your resume and how you build your resume. 04:57 Okay. 04:58 Say for instance, I was on the job for 18 years 05:01 but I didn't do the same job. 05:03 So you have to take those skill sets 05:05 and kind of merge them together. 05:07 But what you're actually trying to do for your case, 05:10 where you've only been three months, 05:12 then you need to just pull out the skills that you learned. 05:15 And how effective and productive you were 05:17 doing those skills. 05:19 Okay, thank you so much. 05:20 Another core topic is "Interviewing Techniques." 05:22 Okay, interviewing techniques are absolutely critical. 05:27 Non verbal and verbal communication 05:29 comes out in your interviewing technique. 05:31 That's true. 05:32 Any interviewer is able to look at you 05:34 and tell whether or not you're self-confident. 05:37 By how you respond with your hands and with your body. 05:40 So you have to be consciously aware of that 05:43 and we go through several scenarios 05:45 in our workshops about that. 05:47 Now let's say that you are an employer 05:50 and I am an applicant, I'm coming to get a job, 05:53 you know, I come dressed fairly nice 05:55 and if I come in your office and I sit down in a seat 05:59 and I start slouching, I start slouching down in my seat 06:02 and, you know, twirling my fingers and things like that. 06:04 What kind of aura does that let off to people? 06:08 Well, it shows a sense of self-- 06:10 that you don't have self-confidence. 06:12 And when I'm talking to you because I've rendered the feud 06:15 for so many years. 06:17 I can immediately tell, if you're telling the truth. 06:20 If you cross your legs, if you start tapping your thigh... 06:24 So you're reading body language? 06:25 If you do not look into my eyes, 06:27 if you start looking up, all of those things 06:29 are critical things that employers look for. 06:32 Okay, so it's important to come to a job, 06:34 sit up straight in your seat, 06:36 it's important to look the person 06:38 that you're interviewing with directly in the eye. 06:41 It's important even to talk clearly, to speak clearly. 06:44 You know, you have so many people that come for interview. 06:46 And you know they come talking 06:48 like they are talking to their friend down the street, 06:50 which that's not, that's not going to do, is it? 06:52 Right, it's not appropriate. Okay. 06:54 Nor does it show, it does not show your professionalism. 06:57 I suggest to people get in the mirror and start talking... 07:01 Practice it. To yourself. Absolutely. 07:02 Okay, that's a good practice, good practice. 07:04 Also in your core topics 07:06 you have standard interview question, what is that? 07:08 Okay, there are-- there is a difference, 07:10 there is a standard interview 07:12 and there is a structured interview. 07:14 A standard interview is normally a one-on-one 07:17 between the applicant and the hiring manager. 07:20 A structured interview may have 07:23 three or four people asking questions. 07:26 And there are normally people, you have the hiring manager, 07:30 then you'll have another manger from that organization 07:34 you may have a human resources representative 07:38 and so you walk into the office going for your interview 07:42 thinking you're gonna interview one-on-one 07:45 and then you're looking, 07:47 and it's a panel. 07:48 And it's just absolutely horrifying 07:51 if you're not accustomed to it 07:53 or if you don't know anything about it. 07:55 So we talk about that. Okay. 07:56 How can a person adjust to that? 07:58 If they're expecting to come into a interview 08:00 and they're expecting one-on-one and they walk in 08:04 and their mouth drops to the floor 08:06 because there's four or five people there. 08:07 It's almost like a panel discussion. 08:09 What can a person do? 08:11 You need to take a deep breath because it's gonna show... 08:16 and then the questions are structured to the point 08:18 where they give you a example they'll say, 08:21 tell me a time when you were effective doing this? 08:25 Or tell me a time when you did not do something 08:28 that you were supposed to do? 08:30 So they're very structured and they give points. 08:34 Everybody is writing points. 08:36 So what you need to do is take a deep breath 08:38 and if you basically have practice 08:41 and you know exactly what you're gonna say, 08:44 not a problem. 08:45 It should be okay. Not a problem. 08:46 Okay, okay great. 08:47 How about, also in the core topics 08:49 you have something entitled Communication Skills? 08:51 Okay, it's very critical 08:54 when you're interviewing to have a volume, 08:57 a set volume in your voice, 09:00 not to look up around and not to be afraid. 09:03 Have a absolute great handshake. 09:06 If you come into my office and I'm interviewing you 09:09 and I say my name is Paula Hollmon, 09:12 then you address me as Miss Hollmon. 09:14 If I say to you I'm Dr. Hollmon, 09:16 then you address me as Dr. Hollmon. 09:19 It's very important that you have questions. 09:22 For the interviewer, the person that's interviewing you 09:25 the only way you're gonna have questions 09:26 is that you review the website. 09:29 And know what that company is about, 09:31 have a feel what that company is about. 09:35 So it requires work to even get a job. 09:37 There you go. Okay. 09:38 Also in the core topics you talk about 09:40 on-site customized workshops. 09:42 Okay. 09:43 Our organization provides on-site customized workshops 09:47 and basically what they are, if you are an organization 09:51 and you're dealing with people 09:52 who are coming off a substance abuse 09:55 and drugs and they need to find a job. 09:57 You would call me and I would look at the people 10:00 that you are servicing, your organization is servicing. 10:04 And I would customize a workshop for you 10:07 specifically for your clients and we go to your organization. 10:12 And provide the services there. 10:14 Okay, it sounds like a very great program, 10:16 very great program. 10:17 Now if somebody wanted to build 10:19 their own organization like this, 10:21 what can a person do, what steps do they need to take 10:24 to even build this organization? 10:26 You built the JAS4YOU Organization. 10:28 What can a person do, even using your own self 10:31 as an example, what can a person do 10:32 to build an organization like this? 10:34 I think you have to have a desire. 10:36 You have to have a passion. 10:38 Whatever you have a passion for is what you go after. 10:41 There is nothing under the sun that hasn't been done. 10:44 So go on that internet, look and see 10:48 what other organizations are doing the same thing 10:51 and then create your style to that 10:54 and you build a model and infrastructure through that. 10:57 Okay. 10:58 You know I want to talk about based upon certain crime, 11:02 what should a person look for? 11:03 And I want to do that by starting 11:05 with a particular story. 11:06 You know, I remember when I was about I think 17, 18 years old. 11:10 I was 18 years old 11:12 and I went to a home depot in Dallas, Texas 11:15 to try to get a job. 11:16 Good job paying $10 an hour. 11:18 You know, I thought this was great. 11:20 I filled out the application and as I was going there, 11:23 I actually got called back for an interview, 11:25 you know, which is great news. 11:26 Here I'm 18 years old, they're paying $10 an hour. 11:28 I thought that was, you know, great news. 11:30 Since I've been used to or accustomed to 11:32 working in like fast food places, 11:34 you know minimum wage $5 an hour things like that. 11:37 I said that was great. 11:38 Now one thing about it is, 11:41 you know, on my application it asked, 11:43 had you been convicted of a crime 11:44 within the last seven years? 11:46 Now on that I put, will explain in interview, okay. 11:50 So I kind of learned throughout the years not to put 11:53 yes, I've been convicted of 11:54 such and such, such and such. 11:55 Because people tend to say, well, you know what, 11:57 I'm not even going to hired him 11:59 without them talking to you to see what you're about. 12:01 So anyhow I went for this particular interview, excited. 12:05 And as I was talking to the, to the manager about the job, 12:08 he told me something important, when we got to the, 12:11 got to the section about the crime. 12:13 I began to explain to him what it was, 12:16 you know what degree it was, what kind of crime I committed, 12:19 how much time I served. 12:20 And, you know, he said because your crime involves 12:24 stealing something. 12:25 It was breaking, dealing with breaking in the homes, 12:27 we can't hire you for this job. 12:29 You know we're working with different things 12:31 that you could steal at anytime. 12:33 And he said, you know what? 12:34 You cannot work here, we can't hire you here. 12:37 But he did say something else. 12:38 He said, you know what? 12:40 Though you have that crime if you had a drug charge, 12:43 we could hire you, if you had a drug charge. 12:46 And I thought to myself, well, you know what? 12:48 May be I should go out there and sell drugs 12:49 and catch a drug charge, 12:50 may be I have a better chance to getting a job, 12:53 which you know, that's not good either. 12:55 So I want to know is there certain kinds of jobs 12:58 which are based upon a person's crime, 13:01 it's best not to look for? 13:03 Oh, absolutely. Okay. 13:05 Just by the mere fact that you have a felony. 13:08 There're certain companies 13:09 that you will not be able to work for. 13:12 And you need to know those companies, 13:14 but there're also felony friendly organizations 13:18 that hire people and it's, of course it's a challenge, 13:22 but you should always tell the truth. 13:25 I think you should be truthful because the company, 13:28 the perspective company is spending money 13:31 and they're trusting you 13:32 as well as you're trusting them to pay you. 13:35 So I think that you should always be honest, 13:38 but there will be road blocks there 13:40 that you just have to open up. 13:42 And that's where that determination and perseverance 13:43 plays such a big key. 13:45 Because something like that which I thought 13:46 was a fantastic job, you know $10 an hour. 13:49 But he told me no. Right. 13:51 That's the road block right there. 13:52 Now, what I have to do is say, 13:54 either I'm going to get discouraged by this road block 13:57 and, you know, I just go out there 13:58 and commit another crime whatever it maybe. 14:00 Or I could say, you know what? 14:02 You know, I can go out there and find another job. 14:04 Just be determined and I may need to just work fast food 14:07 for a while until I find something else. 14:09 Now you said something important, 14:10 you said felony friendly jobs. 14:13 How does a person find a felony friendly job? 14:16 What do you do? 14:17 You go on the website and type in felony friendly jobs. 14:21 Hey, that's pretty easy. 14:22 At your local, whatever town you're in 14:24 and there will be some hits on that. 14:27 Okay, okay. 14:29 I want to tell another story because you now this is so key 14:32 in filling out the application. 14:33 I remember getting another job, actually getting this job 14:37 this time in Dallas, Texas. 14:39 And it was a job working with a moving company. 14:41 Great excellent job, never had anything like that. 14:44 And, you know, when we filled up the application, 14:48 I didn't put any information there with the crime. 14:50 I put my social security number, 14:52 my name, all that kind of information. 14:54 And I was working for a few days. 14:56 Great excellent job, going to houses locally in Dallas, 14:59 moving them out, and moving them to wherever they were 15:01 gonna go in a local area. 15:03 Excellent job, paid well, paid every week things like that. 15:06 But something happened. 15:07 And you know the but, it cancels out everything else 15:09 that I just said before. 15:11 So something happened and what happened was 15:14 is that corporate did a background check on me, 15:17 they did a background check 15:18 and you know what actually I made a mistake. 15:19 I did put on there 15:21 that I had never been convicted of a crime. 15:22 I had lied on my application. 15:24 I put no, never been convicted. 15:26 Corporate did a background check on me 15:29 and it came back and it said he's been convicted of a felony 15:32 and blah, blah, blah. 15:33 It gave the information about the felony 15:35 and you know what they told me, 15:36 they said you know what, you're fired. 15:38 Simple and plain. Couldn't keep me there. 15:40 So how important is it for a person 15:43 to tell the truth on their application? 15:46 I think it's extremely important 15:48 because it deals with your integrity, 15:51 who you are as an individual. 15:53 Okay, what if a person has no integrity? 15:55 Then that's an issue. That's a big issue. 15:57 That's a huge issue and they need to go 16:00 to those types of classes that can help them. 16:03 Because there are expungement classes 16:06 that you can go to 16:07 and they'll tell you the seriousness 16:09 of telling a lie on an application. 16:12 Because nowadays most companies will do 16:14 some type of background check. 16:16 Okay, and you know the interesting thing about it 16:18 is you may lie on that application, 16:20 you may get that job for few days, 16:22 but then they turnaround and fire you 16:24 and then what happens next when you go fill out 16:26 a job application again for another job, 16:29 it's gonna say on there, have you ever been fired from a job? 16:32 Have you ever, you know, where have you worked at? 16:34 And then you have to make that decision again. 16:37 Am I gonna lie or am I gonna tell the truth. 16:39 So you could end up right back in the jam again. 16:41 So it's important to tell the truth, right off the bat. 16:44 Now, what I want to do is talk about the importance 16:46 of how to dress for certain jobs. 16:49 This is very, very key. Okay. 16:51 You know, I know for myself 16:52 a lot of jobs that I used to get fast food. 16:55 I would just pretty much come in there, you know, 16:57 some jeans and you know they would be sagging way down. 17:00 I would have a big O shirt that probably about 17:02 two or three people could get in. 17:04 I've had a hat backwards or something like that. 17:07 In fact I remember going to a job 17:10 at a fast food restaurant, 17:11 trying to get a job and I had long hair at that time, 17:14 I had braids and I had beer bottle tops 17:17 smashed on to the back of my hair 17:19 so where my hair dangle there instead of beads 17:21 I had beer bottle tops. 17:23 And this is how I went to try to have a interview at a job. 17:26 I actually got hired at the job, but that's not good. 17:29 That's not good at all. 17:30 So how important is it for a person to dress, 17:33 dress appropriate for the job they're going for? 17:36 I think anytime you go for position 17:39 you should dress appropriately. 17:41 Okay. 17:42 Say for instance if you go to McDonalds, 17:44 the manager probably doesn't have a suit jacket on 17:47 but he has a business shirt. 17:50 You should wear the same thing. 17:52 Okay, okay. 17:53 Because your manger may not be, may hire you for one job 17:57 but he is looking at your potential. 17:59 What you could be, how can you fit in my organization 18:03 and how determined and successful you are? 18:06 So I think it's critical no matter what job you go to. 18:09 I think that you absolutely need to dress the part now 18:13 if you go into an organization or say you want to be 18:18 a tattoo receptionist where they do tattoos, 18:21 then you can wear spiky hair 18:23 and tattoos and... 18:24 That's appropriate for that. It's appropriate for that. 18:26 But I think most of it is that you go into an organization 18:31 or a corporation dressed as professionally as possible. 18:34 So pretty much what you're looking for, you need to-- 18:37 kind of do a little research maybe on, 18:40 you know, based upon what you're looking for? 18:41 How should I dress for that? 18:42 Because you made an important point, you know, 18:44 in going to a tattoo parlor to get a job, 18:47 you may have the skills and you know 18:50 you maybe able to go in there showing tattoos off 18:52 on your body, going there with some raggedy shorts, 18:54 raggedy shirt, different things like that 18:56 and actually get that job. 18:57 You may go in there with a suit and tie 18:59 and they're gonna look at you like you are 19:01 a square or something. 19:02 And you can't work here. Right. 19:03 So it's very important to know to even do that research 19:07 to know how you should dress for a particular job. 19:10 Now for a corporate type job, first of all 19:13 what is a corporate type job for people 19:15 that may not know that are oblivious to this fact? 19:17 What exactly is a corporate job? 19:19 In my opinion every job is a corporation. 19:22 Okay. 19:23 Even your churches, you have, that's a part of a corporation, 19:27 it's a business. 19:28 And so when you look at it from a business perspective, 19:32 you should dress appropriately. 19:34 There are some corporations that have a laidback policy 19:39 then on Fridays you can wear jeans. 19:41 But you should not be going in the interview with that. 19:44 Just basically you don't have to have expensive clothes. 19:48 Have clean clothes and look presentable 19:50 and know how to carry yourself, 19:52 because it's not just the clothes, it's you, 19:55 it's your personality, it's your perseverance, 19:58 it's your confidence in who you are as an individual. 20:01 Now even on a day to day basis, I may not even look, 20:03 be looking for a job. 20:04 But, you know, a lot of times people are judged 20:06 by what they have on. 20:08 If a person is dressed, I guess you would say "like a thug" 20:11 then people will say, okay, he is identified as that. 20:14 If he is dressed in a suit, he looks businessy, 20:17 you know they'd address him as that. 20:19 So we're kind of judged by the way that we dress. 20:22 On a day to basis, how important it is, 20:24 how important is it to keep up 20:26 that look of confidence in your dress? 20:28 To me the nucleus of who you are 20:31 is your self-confidence. 20:32 It's your self-esteem, it doesn't show up momentarily 20:37 it's who you are as an individual. 20:39 And I think based on that, 20:41 the stronger your self-esteem is 20:43 you automatically present yourself 20:45 in a certain way at all times. 20:48 It's not a part time thing. 20:49 Okay, it's a full time thing. 20:51 And, you know, the beauty of it is we're worth so much simply 20:54 because Jesus died on the cross for us. 20:56 So we're worth so much so we should, 20:57 we should even carry that, 20:59 you know, with us on a day to day basis. 21:01 Now, how important is it for a person to, 21:04 you know, that definitely has limited education? 21:07 How important is it to perhaps even look, 21:09 look into going back to school? 21:11 May be a community college or may be a four year college 21:14 or may be even getting in the trade. 21:16 How important is it for a person to do that? 21:19 I think it's very important, 21:21 I think because I have a can do attitude. 21:24 Actually I got my master's degree 21:28 when I was well over 45. 21:30 Wow. Well over 45. 21:31 So you're about to tell your age. 21:32 That's okay, that's okay. 21:35 But the point is this how determined are you. 21:38 Okay. 21:39 It all deals with your self-esteem, 21:42 where you want to go, 21:43 what's your solution action plan. 21:45 Do you have a plan? 21:46 If you don't have a plan, find a plan. 21:49 If you don't have a dream, dream a dream. 21:52 Yeah, dream a dream. 21:53 Absolutely, absolutely. 21:54 Now in today's society, you know, the market, 21:58 the job market is pretty bad. 22:00 You know is it good to, to get a trade? 22:03 You know that way you can pretty much work for yourself, 22:06 you don't have to worry about looking for a job, 22:09 is it better to may be even just get a trade, 22:12 that way you can work for yourself. 22:13 You can hire employees per se that are, 22:16 you know, don't fit in regular society. 22:19 But, you know, need a job and you might have been 22:22 able to identify with them before. 22:24 Is it good to look into going to trade school? 22:27 I think it's good to go into a trade that you love. 22:31 I think that if you're a part of a church 22:34 or an organization there are people 22:36 who are successful in your churches, 22:38 in your organization, talk to them. 22:41 Find out what they do. 22:43 And if that's something that you desire to do, 22:46 ask them would they kind of mentor you through... 22:48 Yeah, so that you can learn it some. 22:50 Exactly what you need. 22:52 I think the opportunities come everyday. 22:55 Yeah, they do. They're always there. 22:56 But you have to be able to have insight to know 22:59 when opportunity is sitting there. 23:02 As long as you're dealing with people, 23:03 if you want to be a gardener, you, most people have gardens... 23:07 People do their gardens. 23:08 Then talk to that person like what is it take to do that. 23:11 Yeah. I'm interested in that. 23:14 So, you know, it seems like 23:15 the one of the bottom lines of all of this is research. 23:19 You got to do some research, 23:21 even if you want to be that gardener, 23:23 that farmer whatever it may be. 23:25 You need to start somewhere with, 23:26 with doing some research. 23:28 Okay, what does my soil need to be like? 23:30 You know, where do I? 23:32 What kind of seeds do I plant during a specific type of year? 23:35 So doing research is very important, isn't it? 23:37 I think it's important 23:38 but for me on a spiritual level. 23:41 I believe that God created us to do a specific job. 23:45 And if there is nothing else you can do is ask the Lord 23:48 what did You plan for me to do? 23:49 And that's actually the best thing. 23:51 That's actually the best thing. 23:52 With that being said you, the Lord will respond to that. 23:56 He will respond to you saying, 23:58 what is it that you created me to do? 24:01 Because although I was in corporate America 24:03 for many years, 24:04 I was created to do exactly what I am doing. 24:07 Okay, and that's what, what it may take. 24:09 You know, and that's what it does take. 24:11 You know asking the Lord, 24:12 Lord you created me for a purpose. 24:14 You have an assignment for me somewhere. 24:16 It may not even be in corporate America. 24:19 It may not be in a fast food job, 24:20 it maybe doing mission work overseas somewhere 24:23 or here in the United States. 24:25 So we never know, you know, what that is. 24:27 A lot of times we try to do things ourselves. 24:29 You know, it's so easy to try to do things our way, 24:33 our own self instead of letting go 24:34 and letting God as the phrase says. 24:37 You know, so that is very, very important 24:39 in terms of you know succeeding in life, 24:42 just looking onto Jesus 24:44 and saying where Jesus wants us to be. 24:46 And I think if we do that, 24:48 you know, everything else start to fall in play. 24:50 Everything else will fall in play and you will learn 24:53 that you can do much more than you think you can do. 24:55 Okay, okay. 24:56 You will have a vision. 24:58 You will have a purpose 24:59 and you will automatically follow that person 25:02 because the majority of people working 25:05 in corporate America hate their jobs. 25:07 Yeah, that's true. 25:08 They are not even happy doing what they do. 25:11 But because they need the income. 25:14 But there is a point 25:15 where you have to come to a cross road 25:17 and say, okay, I need to satisfy this desire. 25:21 You know, God help me with this 25:22 because this is not working for me anymore. 25:24 Yeah, you know and that is so true that, 25:26 you know, people at lot of times 25:28 they don't necessarily like their job. 25:30 You know, my dad used to tell me 25:31 some when I was younger, 25:32 he would say you know find a job that you like doing 25:35 so when you go to work 25:36 it's not like work, it's just like, 25:38 it's something you like to do, it's something fun. 25:41 And you know, I think that 25:42 that is important in finding a job 25:44 because if you do find something that you like, 25:46 then it's just enjoyable, just to go to, 25:48 it doesn't become that burden, 25:49 it doesn't become that dread eye. 25:51 I don't like to wakeup to go to where I'd, you know, 25:53 I dread in dressed to go to work. 25:54 So that is very important. 25:56 You know, try to understand what your own skills are. 25:59 What your skills are 26:00 and what job suits those specific kind of skills. 26:03 And another thing that's important 26:04 is to not put limitations on yourself. 26:07 And be fearless, try everything. 26:09 I mean everything is not gonna work, 26:11 and it's okay, it's really okay. 26:13 because you learn not to do that same thing again. 26:16 But don't be afraid to try. 26:18 Okay. 26:19 And I think fear captivates people. 26:22 Okay, I want you to talk to the viewer for a second. 26:24 I want you to challenge the viewer to, 26:28 you know, find a job, to trust in Jesus to, 26:31 you know, allow the Lord to open up doors. 26:34 Challenge them to even seek God first 26:37 and all things else will be added. 26:39 I will do that. Amen. 26:41 All I can say is that in my journey I have found 26:45 that I'm capable of un-limitless potential. 26:49 I think that anyone in this society 26:52 with everything going on needs to face 26:55 and seek the Lord for every situation 26:59 that you have in life, 27:00 because nothing is too big for God. 27:02 He is able to handle it all. That's right. 27:04 So since He is able and He wants to do it, 27:06 why wouldn't you let Him do it? 27:08 And I think that He will just take you to places 27:10 that you couldn't even imagine. 27:13 But you have to know that He is there 27:15 and you have to accept His help. 27:17 Okay, okay. 27:18 Real quick, provide your contact information, 27:20 so that people can get in contact 27:21 with your organization. 27:23 Okay, it's www.jas4you.org. 27:28 That's www.jas4you.org. 27:35 The phone number is 888-527-1670. 27:41 Thank you so much, Ms. Paula Hollmon. 27:43 Thank you so much. 27:44 You know, viewers this has been a great, 27:46 great experience learning this information. 27:49 I hope you've taken out a pen, a paper 27:52 and written some of this stuff down. 27:54 You know, it's not everyday that you'll get somebody 27:56 that will tell you the steps 27:57 that you need to take in how to find Jesus, 28:00 the steps that you need to take and how to find a job. 28:03 How to be determined? 28:04 How to, you know, really put your skills to use? 28:07 How to get out there and do something? 28:10 You know what? 28:11 This is a very great program 28:13 and I hope you'll bless this as, like I was blessed. 28:17 Please join us next time on The New Journey. 28:19 Be blessed. |
