Why I Believe Post-Interview Feedback Holds No Real Worth
Feedback following a job rejection can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it offers valuable insights into areas for improvement, such as interview skills or specific qualifications. On the other hand, this feedback may lack objectivity, completeness or care for the candidate altogether.

20,000+ Reads and Counting - Reflections. Top Story - September 2024.
“Always celebrate your wins. Big or small.” – Leigh Shulman So, I am not even sure what to say. I had been aware it was getting close…like four months ago…so then the heat died down on the potential excitement. I knocked past 20,000 reads recently and Vocal may just be one little hovel, little hole the internet to which we can't help but fall in, but I am proud and pleased as punch. That is from March 2021 when I first joined up until today when I published this.

When Vocal Get It Right
Introduction When I started on Vocal I used to use YouTube videos for the main image. Some friends advised against it but I do like to include music as Vocal does allow multimedia presentations. Also as a Vocal+ member, I have the benefit of QuickEdit and this allows changes to the main body of your Vocal Story but not the title, subheading or the main image.

Trying To Make My Writing Look Good
Introduction I have written about making our stories a little more pleasant to look at and therefore draw more readers in because they think "Oooh that looks interesting". They might not be tempted by the subject but I still try and captur people's attention.

RE:SURGENCE IS HERE
As soon as the PDF was converted to a shareable link, I think I audibly screamed, "FINALLY!" If you don't remember from the RE:SURGENCE poems, at the bottom of each one, I kept promising that once everything was published, I would be sharing a free, fully formatted PDF for anyone to read or print out.

The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way. While we may fight it or fight through it, at its dimwits we ought to accept the gospel truth, nothing stays the same. Every breath we draw, every tear that we shed, and every smile we dance with, is permanent in its impermanence, it is so immortal and yet so fleeting. Though time and tide wait for no one, the imprints of our joy and melancholy, the life that we lead through the memories that we create through experiencing our mortality for the first and the last time, become infinite savouries and scars that we hold on to, that change us and shape the way we lead ourselves and charge through the world.

Challenges And Prompts For Vocal Creators
Introduction I will admit that the thing that tempted me into Vocal was the big money challenges (which are now smaller but more frequent) but surprisingly Vocal actually covers all my requirements for writing and rewards.
