"Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. Have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition" Steve Jobs

To all the perfectionist procrastinators who wait for a Monday to start something new, or the first of a month, it wouldn't get more perfect than this: Monday, January 1, 2024. Start today. Happy new year!

Dear @darazpk what on earth is a Cash Payment Fee?

@NadaZain Never gets old, gets better with age. Like Musk!

@ThePunnyWorld @Hatryst You just love that pun, don't you.

Did you know Teslas don't have that new car smell? They have more of an Elon Musk.

@FaizaYousuf @MariaUmar Check out arbisoft.com/careers, I'm not sure though. But there's something coming up that might help, they can follow @juniper_incb for more!

@MariaUmar @Hatryst do you have any intern positions open at ArbiSoft?

So it's #IqbalDay public holiday tomorrow Who was Iqbal btw? What did he do/say? Were his words worth following? Do we understand what he stood for? Are we a representation of the nation he envisioned? Nah, we only want a day off. Sleep in, no need to wake up like he told us to.

The most searched word on Bing is "Google".

@ManihaAamir And the smell before the rain is called Petrichor. Facts 😎

The rain clouds are actually called Stratus cloud Facts

@IfonJojo Oh I see a lot on LinkedIn, just follow the recruiters, follow PMs from top companies. If you're just starting out, an APM program is a really good way to get your foot in the door. Other than that, keep enhancing your skills, and you'll stand out enough to be headhunted!

@Hatryst Hmm thanks a lot. Any tips on job hunt? Because PM. Jobs are almost invisible.
