What We Have Here Is A Failure To Communicate

The results of this past election proved once again that the Democrats had a golden opportunity to capitalize on the failings of the Trump Presidency but, fell short of a nation wide mandate. A mandate to seize the gauntlet of the progressive movement that Senator Sanders through down a little over four years ago. The opportunities were there from the very beginning even before this pandemic struck. In their failing to educate the public of the consequences of continued Congressional gridlock, conservatism, and what National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles of Confederation would do led to the results that are playing out today.. More Congressional gridlock, more conservatism and more suffering of millions of Americans are the direct consequences of the Democrats failure to communicate and educate the public. Educate the public that a progressive agenda is necessary to pull the United States out of this Pandemic, and restore this nations health and vitality.

It was the DNC’s intent in this election to only focus on the Trump Administration. They failed to grasp the urgency of the times. They also failed to communicate with the public about the dire conditions millions have been and still are facing even before the Pandemic. The billions of dollars funneled into campaign coffers should have been used to educate the voting public that creating a unified coalition would bring sweeping reforms that are so desperately needed. The reality of what transpired in a year and a half of political campaigning those billions of dollars only created more animosity and division polarizing one extreme over another.

One can remember back in 1992 Ross Perot used his own funds to go on national TV to educate the public on the dire ramifications of not addressing our national debt. That same approach should have been used during this election cycle. By using the medium of television to communicate and educate the public is the most effective way in communicating and educating the public. Had the Biden campaign and the DNC used their resources in this way the results we ae seeing today would have not created the potential for more gridlock in our government. The opportunity was there to educate the public of safety protocols during the siege of this pandemic and how National Economic Reform’s Ten Articles of Confederation provides the necessary progressive reforms that will propel the United States out of the abyss of debt and restore our economy. Restoring our economy so that every American will have the means and the availability of financial and economic security.

The failure of the Democratic party since 2016 has been recruiting a Presidential Candidate who many felt was questionable and more conservative signals that the results of today has not met with the desired results the Democratic party wanted. Then again? By not fully communicating and not educating the public on the merits of a unified progressive platform has left the United States transfixed in our greatest divides since the Civil War. This writers support of Senator Bernie Sanders is well documented. Since 2015 he has laid the groundwork for progressive reforms. He also has the foundations on which these reforms can deliver the goods as they say. But, what did the DNC do, they purposely went out of their way to engineer a candidate who was more in tune with the status-quo of the DNC. They failed to communicate to the public in educating all of us on the ways our lives would be better served with a progressive agenda that was the benchmark of Senators Sanders Presidential campaign and his Our Revolution movement. And this is way there is still really no progress in creating a less toxic environment in Washington and around the country.

Do You Need a Good Resume and Cover Letter?

It’s not required to make a cover letter with a whole lot of words or even a bunch of paragraphs. Employers read through a lot of resumes on a daily basis and when they feel that the applicant is punctual about when and where to send their information, it’s a higher chance that applicant will get interviewed or for that matter, hired.Negative impressions will set the employer off and most likely will not call the applicant back. Having typos and syntactical errors or even false information is a big no, no. Many employers do their research on past employers as well as references and education.”Things to remember when it comes to creating a cover letter and resume”- Don’t show any sign of laziness
- Read over everything
- Never copy someone else’s resume and cover letter
- Be straight to the point (Don’t over do it by putting unnecessary remarks that don’t pertain to the job)
- Always put a name, email, phone number, and address
- Remember to always put references and past experienceBeing enthusiastic at your work will make you feel better every single day, and you will find that your day goes by much faster and you will get much more accomplished. Not only that, but you will be the person that everyone wants to talk to because your spirit will become addictive to so many other people. Enthusiastic employees are also the people that are most likely to receive job promotions in the future, and they are also more likely to be given other paying jobs. For example, if you are an hourly employee and there are overtime hours that can be had than the employer will likely look to you first to fill that time.Embracing a positive attitude and being enthusiastic makes everyone’s day better. Everyone that has ever worked knows that there are some people that are there to get a paycheck and they simply are not happy with being at work. These negative people bring down the morale of the team, and this can lead to days filled with unmotivated and unhappy workers. On the contrary however, positive and enthusiastic employees seem to find joy in coming to work because they realize that they are doing something to better their lives, and the lives of people around the world. They understand that bringing an upbeat and positive attitude is the best way to make work seem less like work, and more like an enjoyable experience. These people have the innate ability to bring about positive change in the work place, and they are the ones that make the days go by faster. The team appreciates these people because they can lift up everyone’s spirits, and management appreciates them because happy employees are more productive employees.It is not always easy to be enthusiastic about work. Some days are filled up with tireless work, and the feeling of being underappreciated is too common in the working world. Regardless of anything, every worker has the choice to be enthusiastic when they go to work. It is up to each person to be enthusiastic for a better work experience.
