Oof. Sorry I’m just getting to this message now! Great info – thanks much!

I would love to see a panel or breakout session about how to get started in project management. How can you best effectively approach your supervisor? How can you develop trust with others in the office so that they will follow your lead? Also, some tips about working toward the PMP would be helpful.

Thanks so much for all of the helpful ideas, thoughts, and info! I have to start this afternoon, so this has been an awesome resource!

Thanks for the session today! It was very informative. Although I am still working on my MA, I do agree that grad school can be very beneficial when it comes to advancing a career. I do also think, though, that it is VERY important to find a program that you really love. (And this point was raised today by the speaker.) I know a few people who…[Read more]

I got a 76. Although I agree that this list is kinda stero-type-ey. Still fun, though!

I also randomly just came across this infographic, which I think has some pretty powerful suggestions as to how to identify and avoid burnout: http://www.thesimpledollar.com/burnout/

Encourage your best/most productive employees to UNPLUG. I have seen more than one person (Boomer, Gen X and Millennial) burn out or get fed up because all they did was work. It is important to work hard … but I think it is just as important to take the (occasional) vacation or long weekend. With technology invading every aspect of our lives,…[Read more]

As someone who is considering the SES, I am hoping that I can effectively balance my personal and professional life. I would love to excel at both, but I don’t want to have to sacrifice time with my family to get a promotion.

This is true. I am also interested to see how this plays out from a PR/media perspective. I find it interesting that CISPA has not been in the mainstream news as much as SOPA was.

I love lists, and I thought this one was entertaining … although I am not sure how accurate it is. I think I would put the stress level of high school teacher much higher — but I also come from a family of teachers, so I might be biased.

As a rule, I generally ignore the comments sections on most news sites, mainly because of the point Andy brings up: anonymous commenting can lead to some pretty poor behavior. I do treat information on sites like Wikipedia differently, though. I studied journalism and history in undergrad, so I just got into the habit early on of fact-checking…[Read more]

I like the new design, but I am not sure it will get more people to use it. I think Google+ came kinda late to the game and is going to have to work incredibly hard to lure people away from Facebook. Facebook is already so ubiquitous … but I am hearing rumblings on Twitter about it “being for old people”. So … are we going to see the fall…[Read more]

The biggest difference between Boomers/Gen X and Millenials, I think, will be how each views the term “career”. In grad school, I have studied the likelihood of a “gig” economy versus the traditional “job market”. I think younger workers are going to be more apt to work a variety of jobs during their lifetime, rather than staying at one…[Read more]
