Title: Navigating the Job Market: Lessons from Danielle Humilde

Introduction:

In a world where adaptability and resourcefulness are the keys to success, Danielle Humilde stands out as a shining example of how one individual can carve their path in the digital marketing landscape. As a recent graduate of the B433 Digital Media Marketing Program at George Brown, Danielle's journey began during the challenging transition to remote work. However, she not only navigated this new terrain with ease but also went on to serve clients across diverse industries. Now, as a Regional Digital Manager at Marsh McLennan, Danielle's remarkable trajectory is a testament to her unwavering determination and ability to embrace change.

As I reflect upon Danielle's invaluable job search advice, a single mantra reverberates in my mind: "Work with what you have." This simple yet profound philosophy has been a guiding light for Danielle, propelling her to make impactful changes despite limited information and experience. In this reflective e-journal, we delve into the transformative power of Danielle's advice and uncover how her stories of finding clients in unexpected places and embracing the uniqueness of success can shape our own job search journeys and cultivate resilience.

Working with What You Have: A Transformative Approach

Danielle's insightful advice to "work with what you have" resonates deeply with the experiences we often encounter in our careers. One example that stands out in Danielle's work was her resourceful approach to content creation. Despite not having access to a vast outdoor space, Danielle ingeniously utilized the balcony of her house to capture captivating images for the brand's social media networks. This demonstrated her ability to find innovative solutions within constraints and showcased Ahimsa Eco Solutions' composting product, emphasizing that sustainable practices could be implemented even in small urban spaces. In the face of limited resources, Danielle's example inspires us to think outside the box, push boundaries, and approach challenges with unwavering determination. Her story at Ahimsa Eco Solutions is a testament to the transformative power of passion, innovation, and the ability to work with what we have.

Expanding the Job Search Horizons: Beyond LinkedIn and Indeed

Danielle's assertion that "LinkedIn and Indeed can only take you so far" serves as a wake-up call to explore unconventional avenues in our job search. To broaden our horizons, we must take intentional steps. Building and nurturing our professional network becomes crucial—attending industry events, engaging in informational interviews, and seeking referrals can unearth unexpected opportunities. By embracing a diverse range of job search strategies, we can unlock new possibilities and uncover paths that align with our career aspirations.

Success: A Personalized Perspective

One of the most powerful lessons Danielle shares is that "success looks different for everyone." While society often imposes predefined notions of success, it is vital for each of us to define what it means to us personally. As I ponder my own definition of success, it becomes clear that it is a multifaceted concept. For me, success encompasses finding fulfillment in my work, continuous growth, and learning, and making a positive impact on others. By aligning my career goals with my values, I can chart a unique path to success—one that celebrates my individuality and brings me genuine satisfaction.

Resilience: Learning, Adapting, and Persevering

Danielle's wisdom extends beyond advice on job search strategies. Her emphasis on resilience resonates deeply as we navigate the often challenging and unpredictable job market. Embracing resilience means viewing setbacks as opportunities for growth, learning from them, and adapting our strategies. In the face of rejection, we can seek feedback, enhance our skills, and remain open to new possibilities. By surrounding ourselves with a strong support network and staying positive, we can maintain the unwavering determination needed to endure the job search journey.

Conclusion:

As I reflect on Danielle Humilde's transformative job search advice, I am inspired to approach my own career journey with renewed vigor and resilience. By working with what we have, expanding our job search horizons, defining success on our terms, and embracing resilience, we can navigate the job market with confidence. Danielle's lessons remind us that the power to shape our futures lies within us. Let us seize this opportunity to embrace change, make impactful decisions, and forge our paths toward fulfilling and rewarding careers.

04/01/2022 EXHAUSTED

Last night was very awesome. I couldn't do anything today since im too exhausted to move. The concert was over at 1 a.m. and we might need to clean the trashes also since I'm a volunteer for Leni during that time. Since I was tired, I stayed in my room for the whole day and sleep, and watch some movies while the electric fan shares some air with me.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04/02/2022 U.S.I

A while ago, when I was commuting to travel to Naga to watch a theater play at Unibersidad de Sta. Isabel, I traveled alone and it's my first time going to naga while I'm solo, No parents included, No friends, purely me. I was so so happy because there were a lot of first times that I'm on my own. Celebrating my independence. At the theater hall, I was with Meca, Yana, and Cheska to watch the Pandok Pira, the story about the current political situation in the Philippines where they imitate Leni Robredo, and Bong Bong Marcos through a parody. After the show, we went to the Savage Mind to browse some books. After that, I went home.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04/03/2022 KARAOKE

It's a fair day today. I turned on our Personal Computer and Clicked the Youtube app. It was a good day to sing I told to myself. I searched for Karaoke songs in the search bar and there are a lot of music video lyrics. I started by singing my favorite Faithfully by The Journey and practiced the Open Arms afterward.

The place was fully air-conditioned but I don't like to leave my Sandals outside. They required being barefoot when you enter. And it's yucky tho. We head back home after we finished our order.

After the class, we left Kyla by saying goodbye and thanking her for her warm accommodation with us. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04/27/2022 PAINTING HOST

I hosted one of the breakout sessions on the Alternative learning day of ASCO. I am so happy because the speaker was too expert in his talk. I also find him cute tho. The google meet was hyped. Although we experienced some problems, it was carried out efficiently. I also got a follow back from that speaker and I was on a cloud nine, always.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04/28/2022 CELEBRATION PICTORIAL

The scheduled graduation pictorial was today. I woke up early because I'm from Iriga and needed to travel for an hour and half minutes to be at Ateneo. On the way, we almost got hit by a Ford raptor, luckily the driver of the van was swift with his steering wheel. It was so close. I felt nervous. In the afternoon I stayed since I need to wait for Meca and Cheska since Today is Cheska's day. She told us that she'll treat us to a snack. After their turn of pictorial, we head to a cafe shop (forgot the name hehe) then she order for us. It was late already, and we packed our things after we ate our pizzas and fries. We planned to go to the SM Naga. On the way was the Van terminal so I decided to drop off there to go home.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04/29/2022 PROGRESSIVOTE HOST

A while ago, I've been a host for a Voters Education webinar series where Mr. Emman Christian B. Tres Reyes and Ms. Berlineth Nymia T. Montes are the speakers to share their expertise and knowledge on the different prompts and famous lines that are used via Zoom meeting. The speaker enables the students to understand and argue their thoughts by sharing their insights and weighing the beliefs of both parties which leads me to like the part where the emcees started the “Politalks”. In this part, a statement/ prompt/ question will be presented on the screen and it will be addressed to either one of the speakers or both and the chosen speaker will cater to the audience by answering the prompt.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

04/2/2022 SESSION VERGE

Today will be the last day of my journal entry, I didn't much do today but let me share my insights about ending this entry. Firstly, it has been helpful for me to express my thought by writing on this wall about my feelings on how the day worked for me. Secondly, I have been thankful for this since it helped me release the words that I've been holding. Thirdly, this journal reflected the way I act daily. Lastly, this e-journal helped me to openly express myself without judgment, hatred, and assaults on other people since these are my personal feelings. This story of mine will come now to its edge for this mandated journal entry but the memories written on each day will be the foundation of myself. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THIS. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THIS WILL BE REMEMBERED.

Blogging? Hmmm... I'm not sure. I have thought about it, off and on, since "we" was kicked out of the party and "blog" stuck around and made fresh guacamole.

I love to write. I have much to say. I write (purely for myself) almost daily in an overabundance of analog and eJournals.

"Do I want to start 'blogging'?"

My mom recently started doing it. She's 67 and writes about her weight loss journey. She says it helps her stay accountable and focused.

"What would I 'blog' about?"

I'm a 47 year old grandma to the most precious little Bumble Bee Baby Boy that ever existed. I'm Mom to two fantastic kids that have built, and are living, beautiful existences with families and businesses and homes that bring them so much joy.

"Do I really want to share my thoughts with anybody else in a 'blog'?"

Hmmm... That one IS a toughie. I am strong-willed and opinionated. I'm not always vocal about my will or my opinion, and they guide me nevertheless. I'm sure many people, even those that feel they know me exceptionally well, find themselves confused or hurt or angry or something... over actions I've done (or not done). This is because I have a strong will; a rebellious spirit, a desire to question ALL authority and dig deeper into things I see, hear, smell, taste, or touch. I trust nobody and nothing at face value and at the same time hold fast that humanity is fundamentally good. What I'm saying is that if I put my actual thoughts into writing, in a blog that is available to the general public... Will that be too transparent for me? Will I feel too vulnerable? Probably.

I'm gonna do it anyway. 😈

eJournal 1

Throughout the semester in my Digital Marketing Seminar at George Brown College, we’ve had the privilege of engaging in weekly discussions with professionals in the marketing industry. Recently, we had the opportunity to listen to Scott MacDonald, VP of Audience Experience and Technology at Livewire Communications. Scott’s role, as he described it falls at the intersection of digital media and internal communications.

At Livewire, Scott and his team take on the challenge of helping their clients implement seamless communicate regarding organizational change. They recognized that we as humans struggle with change and so they utilize internal comms strategies stemming from marketing principles. This approach views the employees as the target audience, thus effectively marketing operational changes within the company. This helps to build a sense of camaraderie and increase employee engagement which is the key for success. The companies Livewire has worked with in the past include Scotiabank, Ford, and Amazon, which shows how efficient this method is across varying industries.

Regardless of a company’s level of maturity, Scott emphasized the importance of implementing an internal comms strategy. These strategies have increasingly become common practice among organizations as it has been proven to vastly improve the overall employee experience. Livewire goal to close the gap between leadership and those carrying out the work highlights their commitment to transparency – a vital component of effective communication.

When partnering with Livewire, clients embark on a journey which starts with an “insight phase”. This is where Livewire’s Client Partners given the opportunity to understand the needs of the client and strategize the best forms of communication. They may use existing platforms or choose to introduce an intranet which both allow for a secure network where important information can safely be shared with entire organization. The intranet is a private network hosted by a company which can only be accessed by its employees. This type of platform is high-traffic and more suitable for marketing to employees. It also allows you to share performance metrics which can serve as a form of motivation and encouragement.

What stood out to me was the vital role that transparency plays in effective communication. Regular communication and clear objectives can create a relationship of trust between employers and employees which is critical for success. As a student finding my way around the world of marketing, Scott’s insights have opened my eyes to how important communication is for bringing a company together and working towards success.

To conclude, Scott MacDonald’s presentation offered us a glimpse into the power of internal communications strategies. His expertise provided me with new knowledge and an appreciation for the important role communication plays at any company.

Thank you, Scott!

e-journal: March

03/01/2022 NORMAL

Yesterday was a fun day for me. Today was too normal. I attended synchronous classes and I worked on some activities. I had lunch and I sleep. Well, that's my routine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/02/2022 ASH WEDNESDAY

Angel sent me a message if we could meet and got the church to have ashes on our forehead. I told her we can go but I have to go to the barbershop to trim my hair. I went to the barbershop and told Angel that we could have coffee in Kape Sinauna before we go to the church. She and I met in Kape Sinauna. I ordered two iced Caramel macchiatos. She and I had a great time together until we decided to go to the church. It's already 6 p.m. and the mass has started. Before it finishes, the priest requested us to fall in line to have ashes, a cross on our heads. After that, we decided to go to the Iriga City Night park to have rides and fun.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/03/2022 BUKAL

It was a nice refreshing day today as my circle of friends decided to unwind. We went on an adventure to the spring in Santiago Iriga City. We were with my sister's friends at that time. We only tagged along with them. It was one of the best moments that I felt because it was also my first time in that place. I and the boys are happy and cherish the moment together as the vibe was refreshing, a serene place indeed

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/04/2022 MIL QUIZ

Ma'am Lo, our MIL teacher has posted the easy test for March ever. It was refreshing as the quiz was easy to understand. The questions are from what we learned during her synchronous session last Thursday.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/05/2022 MEET UP

The podcasting has decided to have a meet-up for recording and dry run. It was our first meet ever! However, Yani and Reah aren't able to attend because they're from Naga, which is one 1hour away from Iriga City. Lenard is near Iriga and the Three of us, Angel and Letlet are from Iriga. We went to Biggs for our Lunch and we decided that we'll stay there for Dry Run. We spent 4 hours in Biggs after we finished polishing the dry run. Most of us decided to chill in Bolthole and we had some snacks and light beverages there. After that, we went home

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/06/2022 REST DAY

Today was my rest day, I only did the household chores, watch movies, and sleep.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/07/2022 DRAINED I woke up early in the morning wanting not to move. It has been an ironic behavior yesterday. I don't know where did this behavior come from. I decided to sleep again since my brain told me to. It was 5 a.m. at that time and when I woke up again, it was 7 in the evening. I took a bath after eating then I went to sleep again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/08/2022 UPSET

Aghhhhhh. I have a lot of tasks to accomplish on my to-do list. I don't know what to do in order. Some of them are on my missing item already and some are on the to-do list on my google classroom. It's hard to choose what to do firsttttt aghhhhh. huhuhu. I just want to cry and cry and cry.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/09/2022 BURNED OUT

So I'm feeling quite fine right now since I got to finish and reduce my workloads but I feel burned out right now. AHHHHHHHH huhu. I just need to fight for my dreams I guess.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/10/2022 TIRED

Just an update, I feel tired right now. I slept at 4 a.m. just to accomplish my tasks. Happily, it was reduced and accomplished already. I just need to sleep and gain my strength again. So I slept.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/11/2022 CONNECTED

I felt refreshed waking up. It's another day but a different one from the previous days. This time I felt new. Away from the stress and work to do. So I decided to hike at Inorogan and connect with nature. The bird was chirping simultaneously; the wind touches my skin; the weather was fine. I took three deep breaths and I felt relief. I now went home after the hike and decided to take some rest.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/12/2022 VOLUNTEER

I received an invitation from Solid Leni Iriga to attend their seminar for volunteers. So I decided to go since it was for Leni and the Tropang Angat. I wore my pink checkered long sleeves and my tight gray jeans and headed to Zion Hotel at Masuso Spring Resort located in San Isidro, Iriga City. Some Familiar faces are there like my Tita Carla and Tita Dokie are there as the head of the seminar. It was a fulfilled experience since we had a workshop on communicating with a supporter for other candidates where we had a chance to help them give awareness.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/13/2022 LBM

My tummy suddenly acts up. I went rushing to the comfort room to subtract some added foods from my stomach. I don't want this anymore ahhhhhh. I'm stuck here in the comfort room for almost an hour since my stomach is upset. I waited and waited until it is done and cleansed it afterward. I went to the comfort room and asked my mom for medication, however, there was no stock in the kit. Instead, he asked me to buy a "gaw gaw", a white powder used for making a thick sauce and a coke. She poured it into the glass and mixed the two until the gawgaw is dissolved. She let me drink the mixture. The taste was not bad tho. She told me to wait until the " traditional" medicine starts working. And I think it somehow worked.

03/14/2022 JUST A DAY

It's just a normal day. Nothing much to say, I eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I'm sorry im too lazy to type HAHAHAHAH.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/15/2022 RECORDING

Omg! It's our recording day today and sadly, the face-to-face was canceled since Naga is on Alert level 2 at that time. So the team decided to record in our own space. Our piece was made through an audio recording. It has been a struggle tho since I need to check it individually and then upload on into google drive. It was tiring but it was satisfying for me since I had time to show my talent in podcasting again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/16/2022 INTERVIEW

We had an interview with Kuya Bruce for the Work Immersion project that we will organize. We started at 7 p.m. and ended up at 9 p.m. I was with Cheska and Meca in the interview. We are the interviewers since we need some knowledge for our output. We were at the google meet at that time. Kuya Bruce shared his experience with the use of the theater play he organized and belonged to. Indeed it was inspiring for me since there are a lot of people who are still in the theater and we gained knowledge and awareness about the theater world.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/17/2022 BATH

My princess dog, Sunshine has accidentally sat on her poop. So I decided to waste her up. It's my first time taking her into a bath since I'm afraid to drown her in that warm water. She giggles her wet furs and it splashed on my face. At first, I am mad since my shirt was already wet. However, Sunshine made me smile by showing me her cute little smile and tongue. Ahhh, I felt happy with those smiles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/18/2022 PUP

I attended the seminar for the PUP Radio Festival 2022 and they tackled misinformation and disinformation that are happening in the status quo, especially in the Philippine context. It was indeed learning since the diction is right for all the viewers. I love how the speaker gives examples and it's easy to understand.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/19/2022 NOTHING MUCH

This day was okay. And okay means it's just a normal day. I was surfing the internet getting entertained, eating, sleeping, and helping them with household chores. So yeah, I guess it's just a fine day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/20/2022 YOUTHLED

Today is Sundayyyyy and it's YouthLed Day! We went to Legazpi at St. Ellis Hotel for the Onboarding Session for the YouthLed. I was with my two closest friends, Yani, and Kyla, together with Sir Carlo. It's my first time meeting Yani. She's so pretty tho and talkative. To be honest it's the greatest day of the month since it's my first time being a representative of a certain organization from my current school attending the session. We went home at 6 p.m. from Legazpi and they dropped me out of my home. It's already 9 p.m. It was a long long day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/21/2022 SCHOOLWORK

It's just another normal day for me. I attended my synchronous classes, actively participate, and was drained. But reminiscing yesterday's ganap enlightened my mood. I remember that there should need to be done for the Filipino subject about creating bio notes. So I opened the Gdocs and created it. I saw Yani on the Gdocs typing. She's my partner by the way. Then, we rushed to finish that bio note since it's just easy to do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/22/2022 CIANNAH DAY

Today was a special day for one of my closest friends, Ciannah. She turned 18 today. We greeted her at our socials since her celebration was set for the weekend. The epic photo of her was leaked by us of course, our sweet message was there. It's just normal for us to make fun of ourselves. I posted a funny picture of herself when she was a child. It was fine with her tho. We were laughing in the Gc about it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/23/2022 MEMA

03/25/2022 SCRIPT

It's Meca's day today but tomorrow will be her celebration. I was invited to attend her celebration. I also volunteered to be one of her hosts if possible, and her sister ate Marj agreed. My partner will be Yana, so she and I created a script until midnight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/26/2022 THE CELEBRATION

Todayyyy is the celebration and Meca didn't know there was a surprise on her aside from the Legazpi treat she organized. It was a long day indeed since we were at Legazpi to eat our Lunch at Kuya J's then we went to Highlands Park for the view and scenery. I was with Meca's friend. They are all approachable. I also met Cheska, My classmate for the first time. She was too shy but on the latter, she was also approachable and talkative. After we went from Highlands Park, we straightforward back to Naga for the Part 2 celebration, the Surprise. It was around 5 p.m. when we leave the Legazpi. We dropped by at Xentro Mall Polangui to urinate. We headed now to Naga. In Naga, Meca was too overwhelmed with the surprise as it was splendid indeed. The venue was surrounded by the Sparkles of Gold, Black, and Yellow. It was elegant. I and Yana Hosted the event and all I can say is that we enjoyed the night until midnight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/27/2022 LONG DAY (CELEBRATION)

It was early in the morning when I woke up at GMJ Guest House in Caluag since we slept over at the place for Meca's Celebration. At 8 a.m. we decided to take our breakfast at McDonald's in Concepcion Pequeña with Raytheon, Naomi, Cheska, and me. We ordered our breakfast and waited for it. We talked until our order was served. We ate and as soon as we finished, we leave the place. I went back home to Iriga after that to prepare for Ciannah's debut party scheduled today. So I had a bus to take me home. However, the Bus suddenly stopped because the machine overheated so I had no choice but to find a jeepney since it's only available at that noon. I fetched a jeepney and headed to Iriga in no time. I slept for an hour to get rest and took a bath after I woke up to get prepared for the event. I wore my all-black attire and shined on that night.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/28/2022 DIZZY

After the night ended, I woke up dizzy and nauseous. I think it's because of the Drinks from last night's event. I'm tired and I keep on vomiting. I decided to take the whole day to rest.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/29/2022 SUNNY

it was sunny outside so I decided to ride my Bicycle. I went outside and patched my helmet as well as my arm sleeves to keep my skin color on. I move to find an ice cream since it's hot. I head to Uncle Doro's store and ordered 1 bucket of cookies and cream. I went home and ate that Ice cream.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/30/2022 INSPIRATION

We had a video call on Messenger with my dad. We talked for almost an hour about how do we feel. We checked on each other by asking how are we. I have seen how my dad works for the first time. He was on a big cargo ship surrounded by enormous machinery. He named a few of the many for me, but I couldn't remember them. It was an inspiration for me, to do well in class and outside class since there was my hard-working dad, ready to sacrifice his happiness for me and for his family on that ship surrounded by a vast ocean. He got to go already since he still has work to do. We said goodbyes to each other and hang up the call.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

03/31/2022 CONCERT

Tonight, there will be a Concert for Leni organized by the Youth for Leni. I prepared for my pink long sleeves with my matching white shorts. I also brought with me my Fuchsia fabric to wave it at the concert. It's already 6 p.m.and we started moving to be at the grandstand already. We walked to get there. As soon as we arrived, I saw Aika at the venue. We joined each other and enjoyed ourselves.

grit and passion

I recall when I entered university, it was the pandemic, we were under lockdown, and I had to completely reevaluate myself as a student.

Reflecting on my development as a student throughout the years, I can recall a time when I had no ambitions at all. I did all my work and passed all my assessments but all I cared about was being told I was smart. I didn't join any competitions unless I was required to because I didn't like the idea of not being good at something from the get-go. Cut to high school where it got so much more competitive and it being an exclusive government school, I had to put in more efforts than I had before so I could keep my scholarship. This easily led to burnout and bouts of depression and anxiety. Long story short, I went through a massive realignment to figure out what my priorities actually were in life so that I could start enjoying it once more rather than just surviving it.

Little did I know, I started to cultivate a growth mindset.

I started to redefine what success to me looks like and had to look to those interests that I naturally gravitated to. I asked myself what it was about these things that added vitality to my life and how could I immerse myself in them in a more intentional way.

When it came to my academics, it's been monumentally helpful to consistently celebrate any progress made. Whether it's 10% or 80%, making even the smallest of increments in progress deserves to be acknowledged and allows me to feel proud that I've done something to help myself in the future. As someone who still experiences bouts of depression, preparing for a scenario that allows for my future self to do the least amount of effort possible makes me feel deeply taken cared of.

As long as I keep my health my number one priority, everything else will follow

The things I'm passionate about, from being the tool to empty myself over and over again, became what sustained me and breathed life back into me. When I stopped writing poetry with techniques and metaphors that I felt would impress my teachers, I started using it to express unspoken traumas that needed to be verbalized. When I stopped viewing my lessons as circus hoops that determined an audience's perception of me, I started to take them at my own pace and used them to serve my personal growth. In a meta-typical way, I've become really passionate about my own personhood and I've found that it was only through gentle nurturing of myself that I could cultivate resilience and build on my grit.

At the point I am in now, I've started to rely on this mindset that the things I'm passionate about don't need to be capitalized on for the sake of others or external benefits. In my experience, it's a sure way to make them feel meaningless or at least, have its value trivialized to equate how it can make living in a capitalist society advantageous. Toni Morrison once said "there's the work you do and the person you are". I like to hold onto those words when I start to feel like work consumes me. It may not be a common ideology but it's what gives me comfort and at the end of most days, that's all I could ask for.
