About me!
Hi my name is….well you guessed it ^ yeah – moving on! I’m
Irish so you just know this is going to be a funny great story as all Irish
people are great at telling stories – but me don’t worry I am going to get to
the point and share a vast amount of knowledge with you. Some background on
myself; I have lived both lives; when I say that I mean as an employed person
and now a unemployed person so I can relate to other people very well, yes I’m
unemployed at present but I don’t see it like that now but I will return to
that insight later on. Now for more background my career to date is this:
Education, Further
Education and Employment History:
I completed school 2000-2005 junior and leaving
certificate did very well in them, I was nominated by De La Salle Brothers, all my Teachers
and Staff, received many awards for Attendance, Punctuality, Outstanding
Student and the Principal's award by Brother Declan himself and a cheque worth
€500. I also received the compliment of: "I wish every student was just
like you, William" from all my teachers 2000-2005. This is still the
person I am today, years later; I achieve, earn respect, get to know everyone
and put my head down and get my work done. This is me, a person well worth
knowing, connecting with and hiring for your company and your team
Then 2006-2008 I went onto many different fields of
employment and gained a vast amount of experience in areas including: Security,
Retail, Sales, Communications, Operations, Distribution and Stock within: Chubb
Security Kleeneze, Dunnes Stores, Boots Pharmacy and VUE Cinemas. The recession
hit and I became unemployed however I refused to give up so I took part in many
courses and incentives in order to get back to work to up-skill, reinvent
myself and get back to my usual self again.
From 2008-2014 there was obstacles but for me, I only seen
opportunities and I went for them. I found great value and experience within
Eircom [6 months], Sage Ireland [9 months], and Irish Times Training [3 months]
which then lead me to ARRO National Hardware Ltd [3 months]. After that #SaveClementine
was a very successful non-funded campaign of mine no-lie check it out on
Facebook and Twitter
Then things were slow until I joined the IE NETWORK, met
Jim Nolan, now my plan is to network, work on projects to get myself noticed,
combine, fully utilize all my skills and experience to benefit and reach my
full potential with a great employer/company willing to hire me/give me a
chance to shine. That's me! All I honestly really want now is to get back
working, help others and "be of service” to whoever wants and needs my
skills and experience. Is that too really much to ask for? But nevertheless I
keep on going and don’t give up because I set goals and aim to achieve them no
matter what!? Because failure is no longer an option for most of us, we need to
get back working not just for us anymore.
Main Body/“And here,
we, Go!”
I’m going start off my main body by talking about sperm. Yes, I’m going
there but hear me out I have a point to make, there are about hundreds,
thousands if not millions of sperm cells in one
ejaculation. An entire generation if you think about it? So before you think
you’re not a winner, or can’t achieve anything in your life or feel worthless
or useless, think about this. All those sperm cells and
you were the one who made it!? “Victory was yours”.
You’re alive, you got there and further more you’re
still alive and surviving today. I would count that as being a winner, someone who
achieves, who isn’t worthless or useless – I see that
person as awesome! I know I do. And you should too.
“Yes I’m
unemployed at present but I don’t see it like that now but I will return to
that insight later on.” Ah yes I told you I would get back to this. Exactly
what it says! I am unemployed but if you see yourself as just that - you will
not get anywhere, for me I label or tag myself as a P.O.H. huh? What? I know!
Confusing right? Then let me explain further. The P is for Professional, O is
for Opportunity and the H is for Hunter. That’s who I see myself as - not
unemployed. Choose who you are and put it down somewhere. For great examples of
this just look at Twitter and look very closely how people describe themselves
and then work with that. Go out there and find your label/tag.
What makes me
different?
I choose to be different! I have advanced from a basic
job-seeker like leaving cv’s everywhere to now a job hunter who has a feed of
jobs streaming through all my social media and email which means I’m always
keeping up with the times and do everything in my power in order to secure full
time/permnament employment. Lately I’m working on projects just like this one, many
more have been completed and others are on the way. Sure if you want to keep
updated then please connect with me on LinkedIn, Twitter, Google+ and my Blog.
I have a link within this story for these such sites. Keep reading. It gonna
get more interesting from here on in until the end…
NEGATIVITY
Is like Venom trying to consume/infect onto you and take
everything good out of your life, soul and personality. Don’t let it! I’ve been
there 2008-2012, 4 years I was in a dark place beating myself up and not
valuing myself or knowing my worth but thanks to myself, the good people of
Irish Times Training and the team I was placed with helped me overcome this. 2013-2014
now I confidently say I have now overcome negativity – yes, I have, it was my
weakness and I said to my myself I am going to get though this because of the
end goal. To help others, become a person of value, confidence again, get back
to my former self/glory for the sake of people in my life; my future boss,
fellow employees, my family, my partner and my future kids. This wasn’t easy. I
tell you that much but I’m Will McCann not Will McCan’t! I also use my name as
a way of motivation, strange but for me it’s actually very beneficial and
productive.
Irish Times and my team in that course believed in me
and I believe in you, yes you! Reading this. Don’t let stress, anger, hate,
jealousy or negativity consume or infect you life or spirit – fight back and be
like Spiderman – a hero of your own world, who can and will make a difference
to other people’s lives - and by doing that, you will change your own in the
process. Don’t let Venom take control - because the only person in control of
your life is you and you can make a difference to other people’s lives.
LIFE EITHER “MAKES”
OR “BREAKS” YOU?!
Think of Ivan Drago [Life] saying “I must break you” Now
the “OR” represents “SHAKES” as in it’s here where you decide you next move.
[It thinks it can break you and your spirit!?]
Don’t let it! Be like Rocky and fight back, smack it in
the face and say No! Feck off! Keep fighting and never give up! Oh and by the
way - listen to the Rocky story soundtrack it amazing for motivation!
[Especially for running] Trust me!
“UPGRADE LIKE TONY
STARK/IRONMAN! AND HEY! BE PROUD OF AND UTILIZE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS!” ALL OF
THEM! “DON’T BLOW THEM ALL AWAY ;) IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?”
Why not? The more you know the better! Right? Take me
for example I was born, left school in 2005 >> fast-forward to 2014 I now
know how to appreciate anything given to me, any extra money I get, my health,
my family, I love my partner and family even more now than ever, I can cook now
and more independent because of being moved out, I am multi-skilled and
experienced in retail, sales, cinema, admin, reception, concierge, call
centres, stock, warehouse, operations, internships, courses, job clubs you name
it I’m great at and if I’m not? I’m a sponge! I can and will learn anything
given to me. I’ve gone from basic computers – ECDL – Advanced ECDL to now
knowing Digital Marketing and Social Media. I can do so much because I don’t
give up and I’m always learning, researching, outsourcing, being creative and
always problem solving kinda just like Tony Stark and JARVIS combined!
