Career counseling #1: The first steps into your career

Codrin PO

I`ve met four types of people in my life so far:

– the ones that, after graduating, have no idea what they want to do and get the first measly job they find in order to make money, whether they like it or not;

– the ones that, after graduating, are so confused about what to do next that they do more studies to avoid facing reality;

– the ones that, after graduating, know exactly what they want to do and do everything they can to achieve it;

– the ones that, after graduating, know exactly what they want to do, but are too afraid to do it.

I fit into the second group.

Here are some things that I`ve learned from my personal experience and that of people close to me. Read a personal example and more

Academia #1: Rural – urban interactions: influences on the rural development process

Codrin PO

I’m introducing a new category, that of “academia“. I’m publishing my scientific articles from the last 5 years. The first one is an article on “rurbanization” or the urbanization of rural communities (and backward). It was among the first articles I wrote during my PhD studies so don’t be too harsh.

“The interactions that occur between urban and rural can realize a strict separation of these two areas, their populations and their activities here. This is being reflected in the division of policies on spatial and sectoral criteria, urban planners usually concentrating on the importance of urban centers as commerce and transportation nods in the regional policy giving little attention to agricultural or rural-led development. The research on these things has taken into consideration the following indicators: aging indicator, average number of rural inhabitants, active occupied population, infant mortality, the average index of poverty and others.“ READ MORE

A Dreamer`s Guide to Reality

Codrin PO1 Comment

ADreamersGuideToRealityCoverThis is my first try on publishing an indie EBook. Thanks to the Smashwords platform that helped me on getting it to all major EBook retailers. Even if it`s free :).

Here is the link where you can find it in different formats (.epub, .mobi, PDF and many others):

I hope you enjoy it and here`s a little summary to get you started.

“A dreamer`s guide to reality is the first part of a short stories collection that is focused on the break between reality and fiction in the mind of a young person. Built as a mesmerizing mix of real life action, character memories and dreams, it shows the readers that the simplest way for the mind to defend itself is by sheltering itself inside it, building up, at the same time, a defense wall that not even the person can overpass. But wait, there’s more!
