Volunteer your remarketable gifts and become more marketable!

Volunteer and Market Yourself…Remarkably

“Remarkable Marketable Mehelps you share your remarkable gifts volunteering, making you more marketable along the way.



By Jean Robb

I didn’t have the best childhood. We didn’t have much, so if you needed something you had to find a way to get it. I started working at 11 years old selling candy door to door. I know very scary right, but at 11 years old all I knew was I had to sell a certain amount of candy before I could go home. When I knocked on a door, out came my foot and I didn’t move it until you bought a box of candy. The skills I learned from my difficult childhood, (my lemons) really became a blessing (my lemonade).

I learned at a really young age that persistence will open many doors. As an adult I have walked out on a stage with a tiger after Zig Ziglar and talked to over 2,000 people about overcoming their fears. I know you must be thinking…a tiger? I have volunteered for over 15 years with big cat sanctuaries and have learned you can do something you really love while helping others in remarkable ways. In today’s economy you hear lots of people say they can’t find a job. So what happens?

The longer you’re out of work, you start to lose your contacts. You’re not keeping up with the day-to-day changes in your trade. You’re simply out of the loop. The longer you’re in this position the more the fear sets in. What if I can’t find a job? I have so much to offer, how do I get someone to talk to me? Well as you can see, fear can really take a hold of you, it makes you feel like a deer in the headlights. How do you overcome these things?

First off, STOP listening to the FEAR and STOP making EXCUSES. Look, I’ve made many of the same excuses when I’ve let fear be a part of my life. I now realize that the answer to overcoming the fear is to replace it with remarkable things you can be proud of. Instead of asking why would anyone want to hire me, ask yourself why not me?

After volunteering you could say. Look at the change I’ve made in the lives of others. Look what I’ve learned along the way. Look at the skills I’ve been taught while helping others. Look at the great people I’ve met. They’ve seen first hand the type of passion I put into any job I take on. So how will this work? I have made a commitment to bring you a volunteering opportunity at least once a week. The process of volunteering can be more complicated than people may think.

I have included in each story all the information I received and the direct contacts to make it really easy for you to get your foot in the door.Network, Network, Network” See how you can use that experience to build your resume.

Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon all doing their part to help others!

About Six Degrees

You've probably heard of the Six Degrees concept. Any one person (including me, Kevin Bacon) is connected to any other person through six or fewer relationships, because it's a small world. SixDegrees.org is about using this idea to accomplish something good. It's social networking with a social conscience. Through this web site, you can support your favorite charities by donating or creating a social fundraiser — as well as check out the favorite causes of other people, including celebrities. You can also pay it forward with Good Cards® - gift cards for charity that can be redeemed as a donation to more than 1 million charities www.SixDegrees.org was started with the nonprofit Network for Good in January 2007, more than 10 years after the game, "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" made the rounds of college campuses and lived on to be a shorthand term for the small world phenomenon





For almost two decades, film buffs have been playing 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon'.
Similar to the idea that we can form a chain to anyone else on the planet through seven degrees of seperation, the game starts with someone naming an actor, and challenging their friends to find a connection to Kevin Bacon in as few links as possible. Now Google - well known for sneaking 'Easter eggs' into its search engine - has, at long last, brought the 'Bacon number' directly into its results pages, making the game a lot more visible - but perhaps upsetting film fans who prefer a challenge over instant gratification. But kudos to any fan who can get to from Corrie's Ken to Kevin Bacon in just four moves.
From Barlow to Bacon: The chain passes from Ken, to actress Una Stubbs through co-star Johnny Briggs, to Michael Fasssbander due to a shared appearance in 'Angel', to Kevin Bacon in X-Men

The game was borne out of a statement the actor made in 1994, when he said he has worked with everyone in Hollywood, or knew someone who had worked with them.
Kevin Bacon is perhaps best known for his roles in A Few Good Men, Tremors, Mystic River, Wild Things, and is one of Hollywood's most prolific actors.

With over 50 Hollywood films under his belt, you can quickly get to any notable actor, director or crewmen by filling in the blanks - and then the fun is in getting to his name in as few as links as possible.
For example: Simon Pegg, famed for Spaced and Shaun of the Dead, was in Mission Impossible III with Tom Cruise, who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon.

But, 20 years down the line, with actors adding to their CV and building more connections, it is now surprisingly difficult to find actors with more than three or four degrees of separation from Bacon. Indeed, even the Coronation Street and Eastenders cast are only three or four links away from the actor.
One for the Corrie fans: William Roache, best known to us as Ken Barlow, is only four degrees of separation from Bacon

... And, to be soap agnostic: Eastenders fans can enjoy the fact that Bianca is only three steps from Hollywood's centre

But the search engine has a history of sneaking pranks into search results - if you want just one example, search 'tilt' on Google right now.
Or type recursion - and then get annoyed as you get lost in a cycle of 'Did you mean... Recursion?'
