Media Roundup: Inventive Ways to Find a Job, Hugh Jackman's Documentary on Fair Trade Coffee, and More...


Happy Friday morning! I am coming off of a busy couple of weeks and this weekend won't be any different, but the sun is shining and it feels like summer is just around the corner, so I'm going to take a deep breath and enjoy all of the blessings in my life in the midst of the busyness. 

Here's a round up of some interesting content from around the web this week. There's some good stuff here from some job search tips, to beautiful drawings that portray everyday love. And... Hugh Jackman + fair trade coffee documentary. Need I say more?

Enjoy and have a great weekend! 

Out-of-the-Box Approaches to Job Searching

If there's anything this past year has taught me it's that when it comes to finding a job it's not enough to work hard and know the right people anymore, you have to figure out a way to stand out from all of the other people jockeying for the job you want.

Here are some creative ideas on how to do that, like coming up with a new approach to a resume or coming across as inventive, but not to the point of being annoying. Scan the list and see if you can take something away. Even if you are currently working, it never hurts to be prepared for a sudden change in direction.

Hugh Jackman Stresses the Importance of Fair Trade Coffee in New Documentary

Hugh Jackman is moving beyond his super hero role on the big screen and is moving into documentary territory with a new project he and his wife, Deborra Lee Furnass, are involved in called Dukale's Dream.

The documentary sheds light on the daily struggles of Ethopian coffee farmers as Hugh and Deborra travel to rural Africa to see what the farmers have to go through to make enough money on their crops to survive.

The documentary touches on important issues like the cycle of poverty, food security, and fair wages. You aren't going to want to miss it! Despite Hugh's often brash Wolverine-like attitude on screen, we see a softer side of the actor in this film set to release in select theaters on June 5th and VOD on July 14th.
