A message from the Editor,Founder and President of csaccac Inc;
March it's right on the doorsteps of consumers and shopper everywhere,it's March,Let's March together. Thrilled to be back for March's Editor Note, it is time to march ahead into the new year. The month of March has arrived with numerous activities and events planned throughout the month,March madness,not quite,if you're like me I like to keep a monthly and weekly planner to track events during the month_soooo,for now__I'm going to stay away from the phrase "March Madness" ,even if there's a hint of truth in the phrase_Our words are powerful,they build pictures and images in each person who hears and reads them;Our thoughts builds worlds and they frame our lives;Our choices give us direction,they shape,they mold,and define each of us;And our values leads us to our choices as in the instance with the makers of Barbie ,whom I'll discuss further into this chat.
An all new chat starts right now,you guessed it,the next chat has arrived__no,you haven't missed it,this months chat has been in the works for some weeks.As usual Ive got a few announcements,updates,and status posting to share with each of you this month.First,let's talk about passion. Do you like to dance,sing,write music,play an instrument,volunteer,teach,tutor,perform in front of a crowd ,blog,shop,test products? What is your passion? Whatever_you love doing the most that makes you feel fulfilled,complete,and passionate then get passionate about it and do it with passion,enthusiasm,drive,ardor,high spirit,love,verve and vigor_and people will take note and recognize your talent. A simple concept that has worked for millions of people,getting passionate about a cause,a charity,an interest or an occupation. Living passionately,it is one the main reason, I make it a point each month to write an Editor Note,because I want to get your attention. Of course,each and every Editor Note I write might not be an awarding note or a crowd pleaser but it makes great practice,it builds writing and thinking skills,helps to organize my day to day activities,and it puts life into perspective,the Editor Note is the place where I sum up the month in less than thirty minutes. And to be truthful,of all the stuff,task,and chores I perform during the month_sitting down to chat with each of you is a task that requires a little more than me just regurgitating what's highlighted on my monthly calendar. In fact it requires that I multitask,take inventory of the things I do daily, as well as keep up with current events. While ,at the same time each Editor Note reveals pieces of my life story and personality to readers. From the top,weeks in the making,National Women's History Month got off to a great start,as Editor, I began the month with the reading of the National Women's History project daily gazette for the month of March“Celebrating Women of Commitment,Character and Courage” At the onset of the month, it became apparent during the first week of March that women and their work,their struggles,and their stories who be the focus of several National Women's organization among them the National Women's History Project Organization as well as the Center for Women in Business. History ,but not only just history, Women's History ,it is exciting,it is interesting,and it is the link,and the bond that brings women from all different cultures and background together in the Month. As the month of March rolls out the red carpet for the women pioneers and leaders of Women's History, a myriad women across the globe embark on the same journey. Savor the Flavor, and get twice the Luv, I haven't said that in awhile,well at least not at the beginning of an Editor Note. With Women's History forging ahead from the past to the present to the future,one could easily overlook other events and activities that occur in March,but with a weekly planner,netbook,and Smart Phone that's very rare these days__so,what's some of the other stuff that happening in March well if you haven't already set these dates in your calendar here's my brief short outlook of the month:International Women's Day,National Consumer Protection Week,Girl Scout Week 9th-15th,Barbie's Birthday,Girl Scout's Birthday,Daylight Savings Time March 9th,and St Patrick's Day. Now that you've got your calendar filled I want to chat with you about what you''ll find in this edition of csaccac eNewsletter. Along with a few fun facts about St. Patricks Day,inside this edition of csaccac eNewsletter you'll find the Editor's Pic, my Best Advice from 2010-2013,The Things I Take Pride In,the Product of The Month and some other stuff. As I begin to wrap up this chat,I want chat a few more minutes about one of my American Icons Barbie, whom I briefly spoke at the beginning of this Editor Note.

From csaccac Inc & cacjonson:Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
From the desk of the Editor;I think about how much we owe to the women who went before us - legions of women, some known but many more unknown. I applaud the bravery and resilience of those who helped all of us - you and me - to be here today." Ruth Bader Ginsburg,Supreme Court Justice
They were... mothers,daughters,sisters,aunts,teachers,nurses,lawyers,authors,poets,speakers, advocates,activist,some known and some unknown each uniting together to achieve one goal the establishment and progression of Women's Rights,it is through this one common goal that today a myriad of women and citizens is able to identify as a part of Women's History.Comprised of women from various cultures,socio-economic backgrounds,and education,Women's History is an important part of American history and not only American History,World History. From educators,to pioneers,to founders,to leaders,women all across the globe and throughout the United States has been making history for decades. Women's History isnt just a historical fact;it is a timed honored rich tradtition that honors and recognizes the achievements and contributions during the progression of the United States and neighboring countries. So as this country has evolved;so has Women's History, from the suffragist movement,to voting rights , to the world's first Women's Right Convention,to equal opportunity,Women's History has been making waves across the United States for genertions. Through trial,adversity,and obstacles, many of the women honored and recognized in Women History overcame immsurmountable odds to push the progression of Women's Rights, the improvement of the quality of women's lives at home and in the work place as well as promote the improvement of social conditions for all women. In 1980, a middle school student,a pre teen, I was just beginning to maturate,focus on my studies,and of all things the opposite sex__ boys, at a time when the National Women's History Project(NWHP) in its rudimentary stages had begun to promote,and advocate writing Women back into history specifically classroom textbooks. Three decades later, the National Women's History Project continues to educate,advocate and promote Women's History. Towards the end of February National Women's History Project announced it 2014 theme for the year "Celebrating Women of Character,Courage,and Commitment" this March With only days away from the National Women's History Project recognition its honorees for 2014 in Washington DC, I'd wanted to show my support and recognition of National Women's History with mention of the and through reading a few important historical moments in Women's History. Furthermore, I also want encourage each of you to visit the National Women's History Project website @ nwhp.org. Women's History derived from the work of countless women through tenacity,skill, and determination who saw a disparity and inequality and fought to bridge the rift .

National Consumer Protection Week
March 2nd -March 8th
From the desk of the Editor;Consumer protection and ,consumer rights has become a growing discussion among online consumer and shoppers within recent years as e-commerce on the internet has become increasingly popular. As consumers and shoppers each of us make choices day to day, week to week, and month to month, the choices that each of us as consumers and shoppers often varies from What to cook for dinner? to What to wear on a job interview? to What make and model of Automobile to purchase? Choices ,some of the choices each of us makes as consumers and shoppers in numerous instances relates to some kind of purchase,a purchase could be online or in store,big or small. And certainly,the choices each of us makes as consumers and shoppers in one instance could very simple such as choosing a color for a Smart Phone__and in other instance, it could be a tough call such as whether to buy a designer handbag or wait until later. Ostensibly, for a large number of consumers and shoppers whether to purchase now or later,a choice that typically cause a ripple of emotion, the answer often is linked to well how a consumer or shopper has planned for purchase and what's in their budget. In addition to making a major purchase,a consumer as well as shoppers should consider their consumer rights. As a product tester, and frequent shopper both in store and online,I've gained an increased interest in my consumer rights because of the various items I test,sample and purchase each month fromHealth and Beauty Products to household cleaning supplies, to dining in fast food restaurants,I feel that is important not only to know stores return policy,at the same time, it is equally important to know consumer right as a consumer in case of injury. Admittedly,I am not always vocal about my opinion towards certain products or foods.In most instances, I have a limit of times to be displeased with an item or product; for instance, when dining out if I eat at fast food restaurant 3 times a day five times a week an equivalent fifteen samples and I am displeased with the food or service receive 11 out 15 times, I'll write in my daily planner,but I don't eat out that much. Too be truthful, I've been displeased with recent service at my favorite pizza place, one of my favorite hamburger joints( so opted only for nuggets and fries), and a few items in frozen food section of the grocery store. The truth of the matter,consumers have rights and each us should get to know what rights is extended to consumers. In most instances a mention to a manager ,an employee ,or sales associate helps resolves the problem ;however, a consumer or shopper who might want to report an illness, injury , or safety hazard should know where to go get the information into the right hands for that reason National Consumer Protection Week is very important to each and every consumer and shopper. A campaign, I began to recognize and get involve with shortly after introduction of the csaccac Newsletter,National Consumer Protection Week encourages consumers to get to know their rights. Held in the month of March between March 2nd through March *8th,the week is designated to engage consumers to learn their rights. With an array of consumer topics ranging from Shopping & Saving, to technology to Health and Safety, to Identity Theft, National Consumer Protection Week is for the consumers and shopper of all ages at various stages of shopping levels. As a result of being a product tester ,sampling different products and shopping online, I recently at the beginning of the year began a subscription toConsumerReport.org,very affordable. To conclude,as each of you move forward in the New Year, Id like to encourage you to get to know your consumer rights it's never too late to get know your Consumer Rights,or start a subscription at Consumer Report.org. *For more information checkout the links in your browser.

Girl Scout Week 9th-15th
From desk of the Editor,
Leadership,friendship,honesty,integrity,self respect,workmanship,showmanship,and the spirit of team work,the Girl Scout way. Few things in life I like to brag about, and in rare moments you might hear me bragging about having to repeat biology and Shakespeare in college because I loved both subjects soooo much_well,not quite,a bit of an exaggeration.Yes,I liked both subjects even though it took a few tries to retain the important stuff and receive a passing grade from my Professors. Veritably, the lessons and experiences I learned during my college years has been invaluable. Likewise,the same remains true of the years I participated in theGirl Scouts,an invaluable experience that has stayed with me even until now in 2014. A fortitude of hope,optimism, and moral vicissitude to young girls of all ages, the Girl Scouts has been building character,teaching values, cultivating and imparting to Girl Scouts across the USA to be courageous. At the age forty-something, I know the importance of young girls being mentored, and being encouraged to dream and achieve ,a product of the public school system,I was surrounded with mentors. From educators to administrators,to school nurses,to clergy,news reporters,talk show personalities,athletes and local public official,I could as a public school student easily identify a mentor during those year. As the years progress, I grew to understand the importance of an empowering organization such as the Girls Scouts along with the importance of the significant contributions Girl Scouts across the globe has made to society . A brownie,a girl scout and a cadet for a few days,it has become within recent years a brag of sorts,for the most part, I am proud to have been a part of an organization that encourages girls to dream,to achieve and to be courageous. Recently,since becoming the Editor of the csaccac Newsletter, I began to go back a few years__and dig up my roots,meaning get in contact with my old girl scout troop. Although,I didn't have much success in getting the information I wanted, I reconnected with a Girl Scout alumni on Facebook,I also signed up and posted a profile on the Girl Scout alumnae page. While, I don't encourage brags_being a Girl Scout has been a brag that I think__is worth of bragging about to future Girl Scouts of America . As I reach the end of this note,I'd like to say Lots of love to Girl Scouts across the USA,also I'd like to thank the classmate who brought to class a few boxes of Girl Scout cookies to share with the class,Thanks for the Trefoils. In honor and recognition of National Women's History Month,this March,let's remember the Girl Scouts way.
Yours Truly

Resume Tips---cacjohnson
Format your resume correctly.
Invest time in your resume(* Remember investing time in your resume is investing in your future.)
List jobs or employment that's relevant to the position.
Be prepared with a list of adjectives that best describe you and your work ethics.
Easy,Simple,Resume Basics & Tips to getting the job. (Where to Begin:First Impressions,the interviewer's guide to a potential candidate future success!)
Presenters make presentations based on the content they want to convey to their audience. In most instances,it's the presenters job to persuade,convince and inform the audience on a specific subject or topic. Outrageously humorous,after of hours of research and practice,without fail,the first thing that grabs the audience attention is how the presenter is dress,the same is true for each job seeker who lands an interview with a potential employer. As a matter of fact,most employers frequently observe how a job candidate is dressed for the interview. Ultimately,the real truth behind the interview process is being able to make that initial contact with an employer. At the same time,the blaring reality of most typical interviews is the interview process usually begins before a job candidate walks into an interviewers hub or snare. Eventually,at some during the interview process,it is the visual contact,that face to face,in person meeting that wows the employer or interviewer. And like a presenter who wants to win audiences,and impress sponsors,it's the interviewee jobs to wow each prospective employer. From classroom presentations,to seminars,to webinars,to conferences,to local community activities,to interviews,first impressions make lasting impressions. Truthfully,"Dress for Success" isn't just a cliche it's a life mantra that all serious job seekers and job hunters should practice continuously. In June's eNewsletter,I discuss a few basic tips to creating a great cover letter. Veritably, a cover letter is for all purposes intended suppose to be an actual representation of you as well as the skills you possess. Most importantly,the cover letter is what each prospective employer will consider along with your resume before scheduling an interview. In all actuality,the cover letter is the first visual representation that an employer has of you insight of other candidates. If you've happen to of had the opportunity to attend any kind of seminar,webinar or conference then Im sure you understand the importance of visual effects and appearances,cover letters opens lines of communication,resumes nabs interviews,and first impressions seize the job. To conclude,if at any point during the interviewing process you've asked yourself "where do I begin?" begin as a presenter,think like a presenter, do your homework,list your weakness and strength,create a cover letter that depicts the real you,and tweak your resume. After you've completed your homework,and grabbed that first interview,___dont forget you're the presenter,so you should always,remember to dress to impress . For a fact dress to impress always make great beginnings. And wow the interviewer. Unequivocally,first and foremost ,think of your audience the message you want to convey from the moment you walk on stage/walk into the interviewers snare,to the minute you conclude your presentation/to the minute you answer the last question,you're the presenter and its your job to inform, persuade,and convince the interview you're the right candidate for the job.---cacjohnson
Resumes Win Interviews, References Win Job Offers By Heidi M. Allison, Managing Director, www.allisontaylor.com
Inquiring minds want to know, and no minds are more inquiring than those about to hire you. Rest assured, you will be investigated. As a rule of thumb, the better the job and the higher the pay, the tougher the screening process. If you are up for a good job at a visible company, your references and past employers will be checked in great detail. Your list of references is simply the beginning of the investigation a prospective employer will conduct. When a prospective employer has completed the first round of interviews and you are among the top candidates, its next logical step is to check your references and interview those individuals to whom you reported. Are you certain these individuals will seal the deal for you, or will they blow it away? If you are like most people, you probably haven't given your references much thought. Instead, you have focused on your resume, interviewing skills, networking, and what to wear to the interview. Now the focus shifts. Your biggest concern should be the quality of your references and recommendations from past employers, because they can make or break your chances. About half of all references that get checked range from mediocre to poor, so it is very possible that the great job you lost out on at the last moment had nothing to do with your skill level. It could have had more to do with what a reference or past employer said about you. So, if you are concerned that someone, somewhere, might be giving you a bum rap, you are probably right. That's a frightening scenario when your livelihood is at stake. Here is a sampling of the damaging comments HR people and line managers hear when they check references: "Our company policy prohibits us saying anything. We can only verify dates of employment and title." Then the reference goes on to say something like, "Check his references very, very carefully." "Are you certain he gave my name as a reference?" "After we settle our lawsuit..." "Let me see what the paperwork says I am able to give out regarding _______." "Is he still in this field?" References and past employers won't call and warn you that they are not going to be complimentary. The reference situation is ever changing and therefore very volatile because of shifting company policies (not that many employees choose to follow them anyway), new employees in HR departments, new laws governing references, and company liability for giving references. You are well advised to take more control of your career momentum by finding out what every potential reference will say about you. If the odds hold, as they will, those references will range from stellar to negative; yet when you know what someone is going to say about you, you can pass on your best references with greater confidence. You will also have the opportunity to stop references from saying things that are not true or inaccurate. Increasing Your Chances of a Good Reference. Here are some general rules of thumb to maximize the tone and accuracy of your references. 1. Make sure your records are correct. Occasionally an interviewee looks bad because his former HR department did not have the same job date and title information in his file as he did on his resume. Data entry or communications errors are not unusual, so check with your HR department to ensure that their records correspond to yours. Conflicting data will be perceived as a big negative to a prospective employer. 2. Maintain active and positive relationships with your references. Stay in touch over the phone or over coffee. Keep the reference up-to-date about your progress, and make sure you have the most up-to-date information about them. If the reference's title (or name) has changed, or if they've left their position and you've provided old information to the prospective employer, it doesn't look good. 3. Advise a reference about an important opportunity. To avoid burning out your references, you don't need to call about every single job opportunity. However, if a particular position is very important to you, call the reference and give them details about what the company may be looking for. 4. Know reporting relationships. Even though you've given the senior vice president's name as a reference, the prospective employer may resort to calling the director you reported to because she can't reach the senior VP. Even though you have not given that person's name as a reference, it is on the application that you probably filled out. You may want to advise your former boss about the potential for a reference check and explain what the company is looking for. 5. Know your company's policy. Although federal law restricts reference information, some states now allow more extensive disclosure. Know which regulations and policies govern your company. In addition, be aware that some employees will break company policy. Make sure that works in your favor by checking with references to gain an understanding of what they might say. 6. Don't rely on relatives or letters of recommendation. You are well advised not to let Uncle John regale a prospective employer about your antics as a youth. Also, although letters of recommendation can be helpful, information such as titles and even names can change over time. Make sure that the information on your letter of recommendation is correct by contacting the reference periodically. 7. Use a reference-checking service. If you want help in providing good references or if you find that you are losing too many opportunities after several interviews with an organization, you might want to commission a professional reference-checking service. Check to ensure that the service has the professional and legal personnel that can develop a strategic use of your references. Typical service fees range from $59 to $99 per reference checked, depending on level of job position being sought.

Tech Crunch the newest section to the csaccac eNewletter,in this section geared towards the technically tech challenge and the most literate tech technician. In short,from beginners to experts there's something for everyone in this section. Beginning this summer,tech crunch will appear in future csaccac eNewsletter. In all actuality,it could take a single consumer or shopper hours upon hours to gather all or at most to scratch the surface or to put a dent in all of the latest tech terminology and reviews. For that reason,I chose to simplify the search along with saving you some time by adding a few links to the experts,groupies,followers,and fans who in each review gives you latest in tech news. Among a long list of job titles and job descriptions,I am a consumer and a shopper.Without question,it's easy to get distract while browsing the internet,especially for beginners.On a different day,I'd loved to be able to to peruse tech articles and links all day,but that's not a realistic task I could perform daily or even on the weekends. Aside from everything else I perform frequently including being a consumer and shopper,I ve got a blog plus admin duties that require I maintain two websites. Ultimately, the various job related task I perform makes it absolutely impossible to perform any task longer than eight hours. Even on a good day,____without fail, I fall short of completing all the task. Make no mistake about it , Im not tech geek. Therefore,I had to figure out the quickest way to get you the most relevant tech news in the least amount of space. And in all honesty, just a point of fact,you might find everything you what to know and learn about tech gadgets, right in this section,in an article or with a click on an external link. Shortly after the cell phone went from being a text messenger's best friend,to a multitasking Smart Phone,I began the tech crunch. With tech gadgets constantly evolving along with tech terms and terminology,a technically tech challenged web surfer might have a hard time deciphering tech specs as well as choosing the right tech gadget for their lifestyle. As the tech craze began to explode,I began to seriously follow the tech craze after purchasing my first Smart Phone from Virgin Mobile. At the height of the tech craze,I gained a strong interest in popular tech gadgets that performed an array of functions,for instance,the most widely received tech gadgets that immediately caught my attention included Smart Phones,Digital Cameras,Netbooks,and portable laptops also called micro computers. As a matter of fact,I attribute part of my strong interest in tech gadgets to mass marketing and advertising. In addition to mass marketing and media blitz,the other reason for my strong interest in tech gadgets,I attribute to necessity and job related responsibilities. Ostensibly,the launching of high tech gadgets appeared to touch everyone within its grasp. At alarming rate,tech gadgets began to pop up everywhere from local chain stores to brand named retailers,it appeared that consumers ,shoppers,buyers and retailers hadnt been immuned to the tech craze. Veritably,before the craze,I considered myself computer literate. As a matter of fact,I had taken a secondary ed computer course in college. Then__,a few years later,I enrolled in an administrative course at a vocational school that required I attended a basic computer class. Admittedly,between the computer course in college and the admin class,I felt pretty confident with working PC's (personal computers)As a result of both classes,I quickly enhanced my PC vocabulary in addition to computer skills. Straight forwardly speaking,within the past six to eight years,Ive observed that,computer literacy and tech terminology have a few words in common. On the other hand ,I've also ascertained that computer literacy and tech terminology both belong to separate worlds. Joint at the hip,it became increasingly apparent that two__,computer literacy and tech terms didnt have much in common other than the device used to obtain and input information.For the most part,an internet user that's able to recognize the difference between the two is probably more than likely to quickly grasp and understand tech talk. Today,much of what Ive learned about various tech gadgets has been through marketing ,advertising,YouTube videos and individual purchases. Typically,before purchasing a tech gadget,I like to gather as much information that's made readily accessible to the public before making a final choice. Normally,I base my final choice on several specifications and features,as well as locality. When checking out a product,I usually begin with price,the style,the model,the manufacturer then I proceed to what I consider must have features this frequently includes various functions,processing system,and apps. Quick guides,YouTube tours,tutorials,reviews and demonstrations make it easier for consumers and shoppers to get to know their tech gadgets. On a last note,get to know the specs before you buy. High time someone figured out all that tech talk,it's only forthright it should be one of those tech guys or girls, An awesome tech chat,and just the beginning,thanks for checking in,__I hate goodbyes,so then for now I'll keep it to a minimum,__sms, TyuL,twtyL,ch@wuL,Lol,IBCNUL,I really enjoyed chatting with you this month. Imperceptibly,Ive reached the end of the Tech Crunch for this month,__but that doesnt mean you have to wait to get the latest and newest info on tech stuff take a few minutes to visit the external below for more tech info.

Free Credit Reports Cest Combien? Dispelling the myth about those advertisments offering free credit reports and free credit scores. What consumers should know about too many frequent inquires on their credit report? Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian are all credit reporting agencies, before extending a line of credit; many lenders will request credit reports from one of the following credit reporting agencies. Each year, consumers are allowed at least one free credit report from each of the three credit reporting agencies. In order for consumers to receive, a free credit report, the consumer must make a written request to the credit reporting agency of their choice. A photo copy of the consumer’s drivers’ license or state identification, social security number, and proof of residence must accompany their written request for their credit reports. Primarily the purpose of credit reporting agencies are to keep track of consumers borrowing habits. Credit reporting agencies were established to monitor a consumer credit history. In fact, the information found in a consumer’s credit report helps lenders and credit companies determine the credit worthiness of the consumer. As a result, consumers whose credit reports show adverse information, for example, too many inquiries, too many delinquencies, or too many opened accounts could cause the consumer to be denied additional credit and charged high interest rates on existing, accounts.Likewise,consumers could also be charged excessive interest rates on cars, appliance, electronics, and homes because of poor credting rating. Nevertheless, all consumers regardless of their score and rating should monitor their credit regularly for inaccuracies. Debt Consultation Companies highly recommend that consumers review their credit regularly, each year, to make sure the information written in consumers credit report are accurate. Recently, I made a written request to two of the credit reporting agencies for my credit report. Usually, I will request for my credit report at least once a year. This year it was very important that I requested a credit report because I have a vested interest in knowing what is on my credit report as an Entrepreneur/minority business owner. In many instances , consumers working to improve their credit history maybe only a few steps away including myself could be on the road to recovery and improving your credit score. Credit counselors advise consumers: ---to know what is in their (3) three credit reports ---to make an honest effort to resolve any past due accounts ---to check for inaccuracies in their reports ---to reduce their number of accounts….. Furthermore, credit reporting agencies also inform consumers that adverse information may remain on their credit report for up to (7) seven years. Whereas, bankruptcies are reported for (10) ten years (http:// www.creditwatch.equifax.com) To conclude, another credit reporting agency states consumers can expect to find the following on their credit reports: “---potentially negative items or items for further review” “---accounts in good standing” “---History of their account balances” “---Request for their credit history” --- C’est Combien en tout?

In a lot instances,most American consumers and shoppers learn their preferences,likes, and dislikes by testing and sampling different products. Undisputable,consumerism fills a significant portion of the economic growth in the American economy. In fact,the consumer market remains today a vast market and it continues to be a vital part of the American economy. For decades,American consumers steered the economy. Until the 2008 recession,consumerism in the United Stated had been booming at phenomenal rates,the recession deeply impacted consumerism and it caused consumerism to become saturnine. Without warning,the 2008 effected all markets. Life before the recession shows a thriving economy and consumer spending out of control. Even though,consumerism hasnt returned to full swing American consumers and shoppers cautiously continue to purchase different products and big ticket items.Furthermore, an in depth look at consumer reports and research clearly shows in previous year both consumers and shoppers utilized different products at home,at work,in schools,colleges and businesses.

As Editor,Found and President of csaccac Inc,Ive stated in several post,articles as well as in my blog that I hold several positions at the csaccac Inc including product tester. To be truthful,testing different stuff,items and products is not a task I recently discovered. Straightforwardly speaking,__ in all actuality,Ive been testing and sampling different products for years as a small kid,pre teen,teen,college student,young adult,consumer and shopper. Unmindful at times,__like a lot of unskilled,inept,and inexperienced consumers and shoppers,in previous years,the sometimes arduous,tedious,pretentious,and methodical process a tantamount of consumers and shoppers perform each year before and after making a purchase, I didnt fully realize or understand the task I had being performing out of had habit. And in all honesty,I hadnt seriously given consideration to being a product tester until 2006 when I first begin to the csaccac Official Fundraising site as well as csaccac brand. A few years later,while unpacking a bag of groceries at my moms home,I inadvertently stumbled upon a postulate,it had been staring me in the face for soooo many years. Besides being a consumer,and a shopper,I through habit had also become a product tester. Even now,at forty something it strikes me as being kind of odd seeing,simply for the fact, I worked with array of stuff in retail in various departments. From groceries to clothing to electronics to house hold supplies,Ive tried soooo many different things and kinds of stuff. In effect,__I guess you could probably attribute my preferences,likes,and dislikes to the fact___,I first had to test ,sample, and purchase different stuff to learn what I like. Even today,I continue to test,sample,and purchase different stuff;however, this time around Im more heedful,more vocal,more engaged,and better trained.
Yours Truly,
