Arlene,

Thank you for reaching out to me! I have noticed a number of positions listed through Ajilon Finance on Monster, Hotjobs, and a number of other internet job websites. I am very impressed with the number of job opportunities available through Ajilon.

Currently, I am working at Citistreet in Somerset, NJ as a contractor in a Payroll Processing position. My resume (attached to this email via a Microsoft Word document) lists my skills and experience in depth, but I am very familiar with Microsoft Office and I use computer programs such as Power Image, A/S 400 and Omnistation on a daily basis. The contract position I am working at Citistreet was originally slated to be a temporary to hire position, but Citistreet has been going through a hiring freeze for quite some time now. As a result, I am now searching else where.

Basically, I would like to use the experience that I have at this current job to get my foot in door with any company that has growth potential and hope for the long term. Having graduated from college with a Bachelors of Science degree in Business Studies as recently as December 2005, I feel as though I have much to learn at a young age as well as plenty to offer in the years to come! I would love to sit down with you in person at your office in Parsippany to discuss my qualifications in depth as well as where I want to go with my career path and how I could pursue a career.

Please feel free to give me a call. Between the hours of 8am and 7pm, I may be contacted at my mobile line. Obviously that phone line is a Southern NJ area code due to the fact that I started my mobile contract when I was at Stockton College, but I currently reside in Dover, NJ. As early as Tuesday of next week, I would be available for an appointment. I look forward to speaking with you Arlene!

Best regards,

Bryan Bradley

The prep begins tonight!

Tonight marks the beginning of a fourteen week, intensive GMAT preparation for G-Day on May 12 of this year. I will be starting with some basic Algebra drills.

I am a little rusty and a little challenged when it comes to Algebra. Therefore, before I tackle any multi-step practice problems, I need to get shit straight with algebra first. Some drills. Practice problems. The whole nine. I expect a good day of working out, studying, and prepping later today.

Now, it all begins. This is the beginning of what is going to result in a masterpiece on my part. Total brilliance. Hard work and dedication in those books. Blood, sweat, and tears at the gym. Give me those fourteen weeks. I'll be ready.

WORK - GYM - LIBRARY.

That's what the schedule for my preparation consists of. It all starts right, and it will be like this for fourteen weeks. There is no time like the present. There is no other way to properly prepare myself for GMAT, but I can say this much...

On May 12, I come out a winner!

Time to get some sleep. Big day tomorrow.

Plans for first day - Monday!

May 12: It's Now Or Never!

Thoughts of mine just days before preparation is about to begin!

On May 12, it is no mystery that I will be taking the GMAT. Physical training started over a month ago. There is no problem with that facet of the game whatsoever, as I am making progress. The studying aspect of the preparation for G-Day begins January 29. You better believe I will be ready to start that preparation.

You better believe, come May 12, I will have a stern answer for this challenge that I have bravely sought out! No doubt this test is going to provide me with a tremendous make or brake type of challenge, but it's the kind of challenge that I am fully capable of answering. With the right preparation, time management, and physical training, I believe I can handle the task at hand, complete the task, and ultimately past this test with flying colors.

It's been almost two years now since I've had course work of any sort, so I might be a little rusty to the disciplines of studying. But that could go two ways. I might also be refreshed with the time off from having to take care of educational type responsibilities that I was so consistently accustomed to for the previous ten years of my life. In this case, for May 12, I will be getting ready for ONE TEST. GMAT.

With the preparation, physical training, and game plan that I will have in store to implement, I will be a winner across the board on May 12. No question about it. If I am going to take this step, I am going to take it when I'm giving myself a 110% chance for success. Whenever there's been a major challenge at hand in the past, and it was a potentially due or die case for me in which my back was up against the wall, I stepped up the to the plate and prospered.

When I was failing one of my courses in Spring 2005, due to me bombing an exam (that I couldn't study for due to a severe illness), I was forced to step up to the plate, get properly ready for the 2nd exam, be alert, be healthy, and save myself from failing a course. I promised myself that the 2nd exam would be an entirely different story. Was it? I scored a 92 on the 2nd exam. That's right. The real me - The Truth - came to the surface and I prospered. And I did end up passing that course.

Guess what?

On May 12, my back will be firmly placed against that same wall. This particular situation - this challenge - is requiring the type of effort and the type of dedication and pride that I needed in those other due or die struggles in previous years at college. G-Day is extremely important and highly significant to me. For the past two years, I have waited for this day to come. I have talked about it and preached about it on numerous occasions.

So many times, I told everyone that I needed to set a date for G-Day. So many times, I told everyone that I would set that date. And so many times, I stated that I would excel on that test. Let the truth be told by The Truth himself, I didn't lie to anyone. Now, that date is FINALLY here. Now, that date is set, and that date is May 12. I will not be taking this exam lightly whatsoever. I am taking this thing very seriously.

With the right preparation, I have every reason to believe that on May 12, I will ONCE AGAIN rise to the occasion and do the exact same thing on this exam, as I have done under the pressure of previous predicaments in college, and that is EXCEL.

Rest assured, that on May 12 in Atlantic City, I am a winner all across the board. I WILL run away with this thing. You heard it here first!

Come May 12, I will have given myself every chance to be victorious.

Moments ago, I sent an email to The Princeton Review's Premier Tutor Christopher Hammer in regards to where I can find locations that administer practice tests. This entire GMAT training/studying/preparation will begin with a practice test, just to gauge exactly where I am at. Preparation starts January 29.

The email was as follows:


From: "Bryan Bradley"
Subject: Hey
Chris - question about practice tests!
To: chrishammer1971@yahoo.com

Chris,

Hello, my name is Bryan Bradley. We spoke at a party
one night late last year, at Jeremy and Keeley's engagement party in Brigantine. It was then that you presented me your business card which also contains your email. Hopefully your holidays were awesome and the new year has been good to you thus far.

I had a question regarding GMAT practice tests. I was wondering if you knew about any places or locations where one could take practice tests. Maybe colleges, or libraries, or any place that might administer practice test sessions. I believe The Richard Stockton College of NJ did so a year or two ago. I am going to call the school tomorrow and ask them if they still do that. I was just wondering if you knew of any place else that might do that.

I will be taking the GMAT on May 12 of this year and I want to
start the studying process with a practice test to gauge exactly where I stand and where I need more practice. If you could be of service regarding this matter, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you very much for your time!

Sincerely,
Bryan

Mind, body, and soul will all come together. Come May 12, I will have given myself every chance to be victorious. There is nothing wrong with postponing the test from it's original date of December 2, 2006. It takes a man to admit that the time is not yet right. I takes a strong man to know himself and his boundaries. One must know one's self. All I did was delay the inevitable, which will be a victory.

I will have given myself every chance to gain the score that I desire. This whole process starts with three or four good hard months of preparation. A practice test, followed by fourteen weeks of preparation, with seven weeks devoted respectably towards math (first seven) and a combination of math and verbal (remaining seven). I await Mr. Hammer's response so we can get this ball rolling come January 29. May 12 is a HUGE date for me.

Right now, I'm just gathering all of the tools and resources needed for that preparation. May 12 is my day. My glorious day. A defining day. A defining victory. A win.

I will win, come May 12! More to come soon.

Timeline for GMAT preparation laid out!

*NOTE* The preparation will be comprised of SEVEN (not six) weeks of MATH ... and SEVEN (not six) weeks of COMBINED MATH and VERBAL.

My first day of studying and preparation for G-Day on May 12 will commence on Monday, January 29. I would like to search online and find out where I could possibly take a practice test, perhaps the Saturday (January 27) before that, just to get a read of where I am at prior to the studying.

I will email some professors and some people who can assist me in that matter over the course of the next few days, but with this rescheduled date, I will be taking everything very seriously. Working out at the gym, the physical aspect will be tremendous, as opposed to this fall, when I was only running and not even running as much as I am now. My strength training is beginning to pick up now as well in terms of weight lifting. When May 12 comes, I will not only be mentally ready to nail this thing, I will also be in the best shape of my life physically. It is my belief that the two go hand and hand.

In the weeks leading up to January 29, I will spend a some time gathering some resources that can help me during those three and half months of hard preparation. And, as usual, I will be at gym working my ass off almost every day.

MAY 12 is my day. 2007 is my year.

Twelve weeks!

The start date of my preparation for the GMAT on May 12 will be announced later today.

One thing that is certain is that the preparation will be 12 weeks long. The first six weeks of my focus will be solely based on the math portion of the exam. The remaining six weeks will be math coupled with verbal. Math is where I need most practice. Math is where much of my focus will be targeted.

Twelve weeks, with expectations of approximately 20 hours of study time per week. Preparation for the exam will not only be based on books and studying, but also physical exercises. I hit the gym almost everyday. Work hard at both the studying and the gym. Stay focused on the task. First day will be announced shortly. A game plan will be carefully thought out.

On May 12, I am shocking the world!
