Friday's blog on Industry Experts or News is dedicated to a Art Fabian company upgrade of studio space and interior design. Prints and Advertising space available for negotiating. 
all sales will support the company in its quest to do this.  Advertising space also available.

Good day to you dear reader,

I hope that you are not working too hard.  And that you are spending some time tending to yourself.
It would be good to know that you are enjoying lifes challenges. 

I have decided to incorporate images with the Friday blog.  I could, again, put the rather dour images that many of these sites have.  They use mostly business pictures and the like.  But why not show off my creative skills so that the image you see is attractive?

For now, I have decided to add images from my Valuables Collection.  These are articles that I have acquired in the hope that they would be worth a good amount of money.  So far I have managed to sell none of them.  But they do symbolize Big Money Issues.  And this is theme of all these blog posts. They focus on a search to find a way for the Art Fabian Company and myself to go from a condition of poverty to one of wealth.  The idea behind it is that I have the qualifications and the skills to do this.  You decide. 
So first of all let me present to you;

Verbal Notes by K. V. at:

https://mysp.ac/13BVl?play=1

My take on the tape:
I am hearing a lot about two things.

Informational Interviews

An interview in which you look for potential employers and you go to ask them questions to inform yourself as to what he or she wants in a worker and what the issues would be.

David says these interviews are not only good to ask questions but to also state what you would be good at as well. Or a particular point of view of yours that is not evident.  That’s an aspect that I like and I did not think of.

Alternative Job Market

This is the job market that is not advertised but you get by word of mouth or by talking to people as you go around with your average day.  (Like doing your groceries).

There is a difference that I think should be stated by the speakers and myself.

They are talking about how they can perform the work functions in a regular work environment while they are visually impaired.  What the speaker said is that he had, first of all a good computer and second of all a whole lot of expensive software.  As a general rule of thumb it seems that the speakers do not have to deal with a condition of poverty such as mine. 

Also they are all going through the Invisible Job market which means they are quite able to speak to lots of people.  In my case I have a difficulty saying anything to anybody. I think this could be rectified with a Life skills counsellor.  (Ah if I could make the bucks).

What I am doing to combat this is to work with my cool little Apple touch.  One of the nifty things it has is an audio recorder that lets you speak your messages instead of just typing it.  In this way I am practicing speaking. 
So that is todays blog to post.  I hope that you found it to your liking.  If so why don't you  share it with  your friends.
I will write again soon.

'A lecture From the Business, Employment and Vocational Skills podcasts created by The Hadley School for the Blind' Hello Friend, A Little Chit Chat First How are you today?  Is it cold outside where you are?  I am writing this late at night because I was very tired when I came home today.  It is very cold outside here in Montreal and I just crashed out after supper. Its 9:00 p.m.  I just went downstairs to the cafeteria and got myself a good solid snack.  So now I am happy to talk to you about the podcast that I heard yesterday. Today I am going to talk about an Industry Expert.  This time I have chosen the Seminars from the Hadley School of the Blind.   Useful Tip to Rest your Eyes If you are like me and you use your eyes a lot, a podcast is a very good thing.  You can either just listen and rest your eyes or you can do some filing as you listen. The Podcast Anyways yesterday I listened ...

Quality Framing and Trouble

I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

A Good Exhibition: but the Wrong Kind of Art

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...
