There is no such expression like “economic crisis”*
How we all know in there is “economic crisis”*, what makes nervous not only employers, but workers as well. If some employers just delay with salaries, then some are simple dismissed from work.
If some time ago delay could be connected with inflation (as it was explained) then now economic crisis. Somehow now situation looks oposit. If some years ago it was easy to get any job (we can do this now as well), then now we’ll need think twice before quit. For employers this mean more larger arbitrariness. Now it’s very easy to be in job-seekers row which in last months are becoming bigger.
For me it look like, that more secure feels workers, who are working in two or more places, or even are self employed. Like me.
Speaking about employment. Since mid-October I’m self-employed. So I can make out bills. :) Currently already starting to think about my own mini-company just like my sister did by establishing StudyStart.
My name is Rolands Umbrovskis. I’m from* Latvia. This will be my blog in English. I’m periodically writing blog in Latvian since 2004, but most often since October 2007, when I left my job in Marketing company and started as freelancer. Since then I had a lot of time to write and read blogs. So restarted to do it myself. Now I want to try also in English.
Why I restarted to write? Just had more time and I wanted to have more experience in Internet marketing. So since November 2007 I made some experiments with my web pages. Currently I have little list of domains in different fields which are registered under my name.
So here they are: (in order I made them)
e-art.lv – for my projects and creative experiments. Currently under “e-art.lv” creating some webprojects and support for Latvian youth organizations;
At first I want to say that I’m not the only one who is and will write about Happenings in Latvia. Some weeks ago I noticed, that one of Latvian most popular blog onkulis.com also started to write in English. I’ll be writing about myself like Onkulis and some creative and cultural activities from Latvia and Baltic States. Beside that, another topic will be “marketing“, because I’m currently working as marketing manager and Internet content specialist in international company. I’ll repost my best articles (IMHO) from Latvian blog. And of course about work and daily life, like my volunteer works and projects (commercial and non-profit).
So it become, that here You will read about:
Latvia
Baltic States and Europe
Youth
Marketing
My work
My travels
I’ll not try to limit myself only to these topics, but these were most published in my Latvian blog.
About travels. Actualy this post was written during my business trip in Vilnius.
