Thank you GME for the Smoke Seller of the year prize!

Yesterday, 21st June was the farewell from my lovely Structural Mechanics Group. Sad but true. These last 4 months were just incredible. Nowadays, it's very lucky to have a job right after finishing your degree. In addition, it's even more and more lucky to get a job where all your mates are awesome, your boss it's world-known and your job it's what you always wanted. That's why I consider myself absolutly lucky and glad to meet you all.

The Friday's dinner was really fine, we laugh a lot and we had really fun. Later on, we moved to the hard drinks and then we became even more friends hahaha. After some drinks, we were a bit drunka and at 6:30 we finished dancing and coming home in Depepeu's car. But in the end this dinner was another incredible point to add to my experience.

Lovely mates: Simón, Rubén, Miguel Costas, Depepeu, Monty, Fran, Monfor and Xián, as I said in my speech yesterday, you guys have great abilities, capabilities that almost nobody has, and for sure in the future you're going to be successful engineers wherever you want to be. The key it's simple, learn to Sell Smoke as I taught you and all is done!!! 

Teas, coffees, pachangaishons, hot evenings, beers, paelladaishons, everything we shared was unforgetable. Thus, thank you once again and remember that our friendship have just begun and Cardiff is your home as well. 

Eye!!! Be carefull!!: A visit to me is compulsory!!! :D

Glad to be the member 36 in the hall of fame of the GME.

Why to create a personal webpage?

You can find thousand reasons why you should do your own home page. From a personal portfolio, show your personal photos, you have free time and you desire to promote yourself... whatever. But in the end the fact that you create your webpage is for one aim: promote yourself. Have you ever realized about the power of this?

Since I've read the book Me 2.0 written by Dan Schawbel and I am more used to spend my time at LinkedIn, I am more sure that your personal webpage is your strongest weapong you can use to be watched by other people. Lots and lots of personal recruiters receive thousand anonymous emails with CV's and probably most of them are similar. Then, how to become different from everyone? Create your own blog, your webpage or whatever that makes you e-visible and easy to find.

In fact, if you are looking for a job, you will be better considered from your webpage than your own CV. Isn't it enough reason to encourage you to start building your webpage from now?

Concerning unemployed people, I've been thinking around that they just want to finish the degree and start to work. But nowadays this is hard to achieve. Thus, I've been thinking that before people is hunting a job, they must grow like a tree. The strongest your tree (your qualities) is, the more showy.

The fundation of your tree is your basic education. The best it is, the easier for you to acquire more knowledge. Your branches are:
  • Languages: the more you have, the stronger you get. Even you've got a little knowledge on a language it's enough to show your skills, your high wish to learn. 
  • IT skills: you'll need a wide range of computer skills. This is not determinant to find a job as everyone can learn how to use a software as it is to learn languages.
  • Personal broadcast: webpage, blog, Facebook, LinkedIn...

In conclusion, think about doing your webpage as a mirror of yourself and struggle more on your growing up your tree to build a proper profile than thinking about working anywhere.
