Chronicles of a Graduate: Teamwork!: It’s the inevitable question topic that the employer throws out there in an interview: do you prefer to work in teams or by yourself? How do you approach teamwork? Do you enjoy teamwork?

Moving Beyond Plain Old Change: By Susan Alexander, Guest Blogger

Think back to just a few years ago. Suppose someone had told you that a virtual assistant would be able find the 5 sushi restaurants closest to where you happen to be standing? Or that there would be a big cloud thing that you can store your data in? Or, on a personal level, suppose someone had told you that you'd leave your comfortable job and/or start your own business? Would you have believed any of it?

Chronicles of a Graduate: Mid-Year Review: Being a young professional can be difficult. You can be bursting with ideas informed by your new, untired and untried way of looking at things. However, it often happens that you can be silenced, either by your own doubts or the pressures of those who “know better.”

Last Friday I drove home from work in a complete whiteout. Traffic was horrendous.

Chronicles of a Graduate: AH! CHANGE!: By Patty Marra, Series Guest Blogger

Happy New Year, everyone! Welcome to 2012. Have you made any resolutions? I mentioned a few changes I hope to make in my last post, which I intend to stick to, in addition to the standard, “I’m really going to make time to go the gym this year. For real.” Whatever changes you are looking to make with the turn of the calendar page, I wish you all the best.

Chronicles of a Graduate: The Power of Appreciation: By Patty Marra, Series Guest Blogger

I’ll admit it, a good portion of my day is spent on auto-pilot, and Wednesday morning I was in full auto-pilot mode.

Silent Career Killer: Not Listening: Remember that telephone game you played as a child? You would tell a short sentence to someone and they would tell it to the next person and by the time the message passed through a dozen people it was so different from the original it had everyone laughing.

Chronicles of a Graduate: The Lost Art of Lunch: By Patty Marra, Series Guest Blogger

I recently received another bump in my hours (woo!) which, in addition to a larger paycheck, also means that I have earned myself lunch. Yes, thirty minutes of glorious, unpaid time to take a break from my computer screen, engage in some human interaction, and grab a bite to eat.

Work Spouse or not?: Over the years I’ve known several folks who met at work and actually married, in real life. They are the literal definition of a work spouse.

However, I’ve know many, many more work spouses that don’t fit the above definition, yet have a work relationship that is commonly referred to as a work spouse | work wife | work husband.

Chronicles of a Graduate: The Vicious Cycle: By Patty Marra, Series Guest Blogger

This week I met up with a mentor to have lunch and discuss the corporate learning field. As we talked, the subject of master’s level education came up, and she confirmed the same mentality I have heard from everyone over age 27: don’t do the master’s without some work experience to back it up.
