In her new book, Notes from a Blue Bike, she tells readers how to live intentionally in a chaotic
Sheena has always been ambitious: she entered college at the age of 14, and graduated from UCLA at 19. So, it is no surprise We all want to be awesome at our careers. In order to do that, we have to stand out, get ahead of the change curve, and stay relevant, by going far beyond our job description. Jesse Sostrin, author of Beyond the Job Description: How Managers and Employees Can Meet the True Demands of the Job, believes that to go beyond our job description we have to get around, what he calls, the hidden curriculum of work, which are things such as: the need for continuous learning and performance and the presence of performance barriers. When we This is a shout out to all of the shorties out there! Finally, a celebration and ode to the vertically challenged – Becky Murphy’s new book “I’d Rather be Short” shares the overlooked advantages of a small stature. Ahem–I’m actually of average height (and probably average in every sense of the word), but I thought of the perfect person to review this book for y’all. My cousin, Monica Castro. She’s older than me and I’ve been taller than her for most of our lives. She’s probably endured just about every short joke there is…maaaaybe even a few from me. Fact: finding a job is a numbers game. The more contacts, friends, phone calls, emails, and face-to-face interviews you have, the more likely you are to land a reasonable position in this difficult economy. Tony Beshara, Ph.D., creator The Job Search Solution has placed over 100,000 people in jobs with the ideology of “if you manage the process, the result (landing a great job) will take care of itself.” He REALLY knows what he is taking about! The majority of questions I get from people reading this blog, have to do with the job search process, and how I have been doing tons of public speaking lately, and while I love every minute of it, I still get really nervous before each presentation. Public speaking has always kinda been my thing. I was a debater (yes, all jokes welcome) in high school, and now a big part of my career is doing workshops for publicists and college students. I really do understand why people have a fear of public speaking; it is not for the weak at heart. However, the truth is that no matter what career path you pick, you will probably have to get in front
As I mentioned last week in this post, I always get a bit sentimental when someone I have known for the majority of my life fills out one of these Career Confidentials. This week’s is no different because I have probably known Rachel since middle school, maybe even elementary school? When someone I grew up with in San Antonio does the Q&A, it is interesting to me because we essentially started life in the same You may recall that I was a mess, about 2 months ago. I was deep in the perils of finding a job right after college. Well let me tell you, I decided to become a certified yoga instructor, and it changed my life. After doing 200 hours of training, I would like to share some perspective I gained. For once I followed my heart, and did what I wanted to do, rather than what society told me I should do. After my training began, I found myself occupied with something I loved. I actually enjoyed Saturday morning classes, even if
As I was putting this post up, I got a little bit emotional. I love reading all the Career Confidentials, but I especially love reading the ones from my friends. These are topics we don’t always spend a lot of time talking about, so I always find their answers to be so interesting and insightful. More than anything else, I
