Skirt: Ann Taylor Loft T-shirt: Target Necklace/Earrings/Belt: Forever 21 Shoes: Sam and Libby, via DSW Like the outfit? See more details here! These photos were taken after a long day at work and class. When I asked my husband to snap a few pictures of my outfit, he went into photographer mode, [...]
This is another post that’s been sitting in the queue, unpublished. In my continuing effort to have transparency and credibility on the blog, it’s finally coming out to the world! Lately, I’ve been reading a lot of articles about pay equity and glass ceilings for women. When I first started noticing these articles, I generally [...]
I had the opportunity to comment on some resumes recently, and the request for feedback warrants a post. I noticed significant differences in the style, information included, and length of the resumes of these candidates than resumes for candidates more similar to myself. I attribute these differences partly to generational differences, and partly to career [...]
I’ve been on a data-gathering mission since I started my position, and now grades are up for my MBA mid-terms. In short, I’ve got numbers running out my ears! I’m probably the least numbers-conscious person you’ll ever meet (seriously, ask my husband about the calculus study incident where the book, pencil, and calculator somehow managed [...]
I’ve been steadily working my way through the perils of transparency and credibility, and I’ll wrap it up today with a discussion on publishing “personal stuff” on my blog. This fear stems from the fact that people who are close to me sometimes read the site, and maybe I don’t want my real-life connections to [...]
As promised, here’s another “scary” post, in the interest of transparency! So, I really enjoy sharing the times when I’ve done well on a project, but I feel that it’s only fair that I also share the complete debacles that I’ve had a hand in. Lucky for you, I happen to have a recent debacle [...]
“Pride goes before the fall” is conventional wisdom, often told to children to help them understand that arrogance will generally come around and bite you. The same conventional wisdom can be applied to corporations, especially in the slowly-recovering economy. I’ve had two conversations about corporate arrogance over the past week, so the resulting blog post [...]
With the website and sales updates we’re doing for my company, I’ve got CRM and CMS on the brain! Then I find out that apparently people don’t actually know what these acronyms mean, how they work, or why they’re useful. No wonder they haven’t been implemented yet! Let’s have a little primer on CRM and [...]
As promised in this post, I’m officially publishing one of the “scary” posts in my queue! I’m putting a pretty big secret out into the world by writing this post, but I think I’m far enough past it to write about it. The secret? I worked as a Starbucks barista when I couldn’t find [...]
I wrote last week about the balance between transparency and credibility, and I’ve been mulling it over ever since. It was actually sparked by two complete posts sitting in the queue, waiting to be published. One post discusses a mistake I made at work, and how I went about fixing the mistake. The other post [...]
