You want to find a job ? Find it on the Internet !

In two or maybe three years I will be graduated. Even if it gets me very anxious about starting a 45 years of routine, I can’t avoid it.

So except the ANPE, how can I find easily a job ?

The Internet can be my solution. Indeed, Facebook can be seen as a gigantic portfolio for companies to search employees because you put your cursus, your work experiences and internships on your page. Moreover, people can discover your passions and hobbies and figure what could be the best for you in their firm.

Second solution, I can look at the offers of jobs directly on the Internet, thanks to sites like Monster.com I can answer to the offers, find a contact to send my CV, and then resolve my issue of unemployment.

If I want a job in a defined company, i can finally send my CV directly to the contact which appears when i click on the leaflet “careers” on their Internet site.

I hope I will find one quickly in two years.

A day in the (Internet) life.

Do you remember this song ? This is the last one of the mythical sergent’s peppers lonely heart club band CD of the Beatles. It is cut in two, one part sung by Lennon at the beginning and the end, and the middle part sung by McCartney. This part describes a normal day of Paul McCartney youth’s life.

” Woke up, got out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, i noticed i was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
Somebody spoke and i went into a dream”

I’ll try to do the same with any day of MY life, notably all my actions related to the Internet.

Wake up, got out of bed, I’m already late. I’m definitely not a person who likes the morning. Nobody must talk to me, I hate leaving my bed. No time for the Internet at this moment of the day, except if I have to print a mail for homework or anything like that. Except from being in the room 111 (because Paul can receive a WI-FI connection in it), I don’t have any contacts with computer at all until our lunch break (I’m an old fashioned guy, I take notes on paper).

Often, during noon, we go to the Celsa computers with my teammates of the Spartak Celsa soccer team (Paul-Antoine, Paul, and Charles) to check our future opponents in the Celsa tournament, to arrange a meeting, to make them under pressure also . If you wanna learn more about this fantastic tournament we created, go to this facebook group !

We also have in the class a permanent link to the Internet thanks to Charles’s blackberry.

My “Internet day” really begins when I come back at home. I go to my little sister bedroom (because her computer is way better than mine), I put my deezer play list, open in another leaflet my hotmail, then my facebook account. I check what’s going on it, answer to my mails, send another ones. The usual business.

After, I check the sportive information and the regular one, respectively on Lequipe.fr and Lemonde.fr, then when my little sister arrives and wants her computer back, I usually negotiate a Tv show episode like Greek or Gossip Girl on a streaming site like goodsites. Before sleeping, I do the same cycle.

I would like to add that before this class is over, i was only a follower on the Internet. I was actually a viewer, except from my facebook account, I always watch other people create on the Internet. Now, I know how to manage a blog, insert links, photos, and videos. I can post also a video on youTube, and collaborate to a wiki. I’ve become a CREATOR and that makes me feel a little less lost in that deep ocean of the Internet.

The Internet in my future job

Contrarily to many persons of the class, I’m not an Internet fanatic. I don’t want to have a career in a communication web-agency like Duke. I see Internet more like an unavoidable tool. I mean that we can’t escape nowadays from the Net, we have to deal with it. I’ll thus use it for professional e-mails, video-conference and business stuff like that. The Internet is great also to watch over your opponents (which is very useful if you work in a challenged market).

Another way of thinking Internet in my future job life is linked to the entertaining side of the Internet. When you have a 5 minutes break, you can check your favourite website, show your colleagues the best videos that you’ve heard about on YouTube, and many more fun stuffs like that. The Internet is great to socialize with the others.

I’ve got also a dream to be a rock band manager, and I’ll use certainly MySpace to promote my band. But this is just a dream

Save China, save the world ?

How the Internet can change the world ? That is a really huge question; I will focus here on the role that, as the born of a free press did during the nineteenth century, the Internet can offer a window of freedom to oppressed populations. Notably nowadays about countries like Iran and mostly China.

As we saw with the Olympics Games, China has definitely become the equal of western countries in terms of power. With its population of 1.6 billions (more than a human among six) and the sky-scraping development that it knows (9% of growth each year), this country will obviously play a gigantic role in the future decades. But there is still remaining the question of the regime. We mustn’t forget that China, even if it’s more opened than 30 years ago, still remain a communist dictatorship tinted of strong nationalism. Some words like democracy, free-speech, or free-press are only whispered in the several countries of China.

During the past, it was easier to settle a dictatorship and to keep it. The Prince written by Nicolas Machiavel learnt to future kings and absolute monarchs how to deal with opponents. the motto was, “be both lion (for the strength) and fox (for the intelligence)”. Now with the development of the press first, then the NTIC it is quite impossible to control the abundance of information even when you own an impressive bureaucracy and censure as China. But it’s not simple as it seems.

Let’s look what The Economist, the famous british newsmag, said about that question in an article of April 2006 :

” Six years ago Bill Clinton described China’s efforts to restrict the internet as “sort of like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall”. But as China’s web-filtering technology has grown more sophisticated, and the ranks of its internet police have swelled, some have begun to wonder. A report in 2003 by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace suggested that, despite the difficulties the internet posed to authoritarian regimes, it could also be used to fortify them. China, the authors concluded, had been “largely successful at guiding use” of the internet. At a congressional hearing in February on American companies involved in internet business in China, a Republican congressman, Christopher Smith, said the internet there had become “a malicious tool, a cyber sledgehammer of repression”.

Some of the companies testifying at the hearing—Cisco, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!—deserved a grilling. Why, for instance, had Microsoft, at the request of Chinese officials, removed a popular site in December from its Chinese version of MSN Spaces, a service for personal diaries and blogs? Yahoo! too had questions to answer about reports that information it provided to the police about its e-mail services had helped put dissidents behind bars. More recently Reporters Without Borders, a human-rights group, said that a Hong Kong unit of Yahoo! had given the police a Chinese user’s draft e-mails. These were then used as evidence at his trial for subversion, for which he received a four-year jail sentence. Yahoo! has condemned efforts to suppress freedom of speech, but says it must obey Chinese law.”

The authorities strike back, but the resistance is growing every day. Chinese people discover a little more each day the whole freedom that the Internet can give them. The lock will break one day, and China will maybe embrace democracy, stop their hawkish diplomacy, and built a better world in concert with the others… We can’t forget that thousands of missiles are still facing Taiwan for instance.

To my mind, Internet and democracy are strongly linked, when these population discovered the first one, they couldn’t ignore the second for a long time.

I hope.

My tee-shirt company.

What is great with the Internet is that you can profit of that platform to sell your production. If we create a tee-shirt company with my friends, we would be able to sell it all over Europe. Look at what American Apparel did, with the Internet your brand can become globalized in a minute.

A piece of Internet history.

I can create my own One million dollar page !

about being a professional player of video-games in Korea…

On-line video games have become so important in Korea. Nowadays some students who don’t have the time to play prefer paying someone to play with their account than ranking lower than yesterday. Sometimes they even buy an account on E-bay to be the strongest among their friends. Professional video-games players are like rock stars in Korea. Their battle can be followed by 5000 persons in concerts hall.

I let you with that video which show perfectly the craze about video-games in this country.

Mark Zuckerberg is a hero.

Mark Zuckerberg has understood the first how social networks will define the new Internet. When he was only a student (In Harvard), he launches facebook. In 2008, Microsoft bought 1.7% of Facebook for 240 millions dollars. How can it be possible ?

With a simple idea, Mark Zuckerberg has created one of the most important company of our time.

If you need some money quickly, go to E-Bay !

E-bay is a typical personal way to make money on the Internet. Let’s imagine that you’ve bought a ticket for a Bruce Springsteen concert but unfortunately you can’t go. Once the disapointment passed, you can go to E-bay.com and sell it to the more offering. It’s quick, it’s easy (you just have to create an account and then send the ticket by the post), and if the demand is high you can make a lot of money (for instance if you have a ticket for the finale of the soccer World Cup)

Stick it in your mind, E-bay can be your best friend !
